Non-place feature types #2

Closed docuracy closed 2 years ago

docuracy commented 2 years ago

The LP standard limits types to places, but the format has been found usefully to serve datasets in which the features are actually geolocated objects, for example archaeological finds.

Visualisation software (e.g. Peripleo) can recognise and perform faceting based on these types without the need for any complicated configuration.

PROPOSAL: Allow any type properly referenced to a published vocabulary.
