John Goodwin: how close is this to GML-RDF? (GML 1 serialization)? - Not yet examined.

Is this mainly RDFS entities, or are more OWL entities being envisioned?

For example, axioms?

Cathy: could open world assumption issue be addressed by axioms?

Josh: could open world problems be a result of representing a feature "as a geometry" rather than "with a geometry".

John Goodwin: might look into DOLCE as well in terms of a feature ontology

What should comprise a W3C geospatial ontology?

<stakagi> modularization

<stakagi> Minimum vocabulary for geographic information

<stakagi> to reduce the overlap
