COMMONS13 — Locations ontology should reuse W3C WGS84 ontology

Open Closed All
  • Key: COMMONS13-28
  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    See https://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/. This tiny ontology with representation of lat/long is widely supported by graph databases and allows use of GeoSPARQL. It makes little sense for OMG to define its own properties such as &cmns-loc;hasLongitude..
    Example:
    <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
    xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#">
    <geo:Point>
    <geo:lat>55.701</geo:lat>
    <geo:long>12.552</geo:long>
    </geo:Point>
    </rdf:RDF>
