topic: http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/21
13:09:46 [ahaller2]
... ISSUE-21: phrasing of the linkability requirement
13:10:09 [kerry]
q?
13:10:23 [Alejandro_Llaves]
"Spatial data on the Web should be linkable (by explicit relationships between different data in different data sets), to other spatial data and to or from other types of data."
13:10:42 [ahaller2]
Alejandro: 'facts' were changed to 'features'
13:11:36 [ahaller2]
... 'explicit relationships between data' is the new proposal
13:11:36 [AndreaPerego]
"Feature" is a notion that is not straightforward for non-specialists.
13:11:49 [phila]
I like that wording

jtandy: like the current wording
13:12:49 [phila]
RESOLVED: That Issue-21 be rephrased as shown above
13:12:52 [joshlieberman]
"facts" is sufficiently generic as to not cause problems, I suppose.
13:13:00 [ahaller2]
... ISSUE-21 resolved as discussed with new phrasing
13:13:14 [kerry]
topic: http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/22
13:13:17 [SimonCox]
@josh - 'facts' now changed to 'data'
13:13:44 [ahaller2]
kerry: ISSUE-22 next to discuss
13:14:09 [joshlieberman]
@SimonCox -- just can't keep up...
13:14:10 [Alejandro_Llaves]
"There should be a standardised way for expressing spatial relationships between spatial entities. These relationships can be topological, mereological, directional or distance related."
13:14:21 [ahaller2]
Alejandro: change of phrasing, changed to 'spatial relationships'

jtandy: if you have ideas like the one kerry raised, please put them on the wiki
13:25:08 [ahaller2]
... common themes are, linking data, publishing data with clear semantics
13:25:36 [ahaller2]
... partial overlap with data on the web best practise group
13:25:53 [ahaller2]
... third theme, expose datasets through APIs
13:26:29 [ahaller2]
... enabling discoverability is another theme
13:26:40 [ahaller2]
... assigning identifiers is fifth theme
13:26:54 [ahaller2]
... expressing geospatial information is the last theme
13:27:45 [ahaller2]
... linda provided another use case, geometry is 95% of the data size in the Dutch use case
13:28:27 [ahaller2]
Linda: put this in the use case as a question, if optimisation is needed
13:28:37 [joshlieberman]
Is this an argument for implementing the distinction between feature and geometry, so that geometries can be linked in as needed?
13:28:54 [ahaller2]
jtandy: implication of performance in queries with polygons with for example 5000 points
13:29:46 [Alejandro_Llaves]

13:34:27 [ahaller2]
... it is important to have clear semantics of the entity that is linked to
13:35:29 [ahaller2]
... directionality is important in use cases, having links to go to the data this data is derived from is valuable for findability
13:36:04 [ahaller2]

13:49:58 [ahaller2]
Bill: if geometries are only defined as part of features, other people can not reference the geometry. Geometries with URIs gives them equality
13:49:59 [AndreaPerego]
