Neogeo draft and Note status
Present draft reflects general feature model and use of ENTITY. No present
objections to incorporation in a draft Note.
Spatial Ontology federation
Issue: "Adopting", "Quoting", "Importing" other geospatial ontologies as a
federation pattern.
Is there a straightforward ontology federation "meta-ontology"?
Incubator status and roadmap
Alternatives:
- Continue on with spatial ontology and new charter until June
- Finish up with neogeo and propose a Geospatial Interest Group (GIG)
soon
General opinion is that neither clearly builds interest better. Interest is a
cart-horse see-saw of data and applications. Hard to rush. The popularity of
GeoRSS is somewhat anomalous. We run with it but don't really know why it is.
ACTION: Raj Singh and Josh
Lieberman to finish work on W3C Note for neogeo.
[NEW] ACTION: Everyone add to resource
listings in Spatial Ontology wiki for source materials.
[NEW] ACTION: Describe ontology federation
pattern, cite resources of interest such as geonames ontology, look for best
practice in serializing / realizing this.
[NEW] ACTION: Bring RDF realization from
here back into georss.org as a means to engage the people there.
