6 years ago Chrissy Rissmeyer Sep 1, 2017 UCSD uses wgs84:lat and wgs84:long (along with wgs84:alt) to express latitude and longitude in their place class.
Chrissy Rissmeyer Sep 1, 2017 Ask +tombritt@ucsb.edu to review the predicates used in the ucsd:place class
Chrissy Rissmeyer Sep 1, 2017 Also, I coded this blue, but would like to emphasize that the specific predicate choice could/should be revisited (especially as +tombritt@ucsb.edu wasn't involved in selecting the original predicate)
Ryan Johnson Sep 5, 2017 Yes, please do review! We have been awaiting decisions from the geo community about the difficulty in expressing geodata in RDF... geojson-LD seems to have punted a bit. I'm seeing a possibility here with the dcmi-box predicates, I hadn't seen those! Are they recent?
Chrissy Rissmeyer Sep 5, 2017 I don't think the predicate itself is new. I do know that our decision to use it for bounding boxes came out of conversations that Tom and Bess (and others) had at Geo4Lib last year.
Ryan Johnson Sep 5, 2017 Very cool... yeah an alternative (but a little concerning) idea was to have basically URIs minted for the type of feature (so polygon: line:) etc, and at the end of that URI may be just plain ol' JSON. I imagine that seems unwieldy to many. Thanks for the info
