NAME

Feed::Parser::NS::Geo

DESCRIPTION

This vocabulary begins an exploration of the possibilities of representing mapping/location data in RDF, and does not attempt to address many of the issues covered in the professional GIS world, notably by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). Instead, we provide just a few basic terms that can be used in RDF (eg. RSS 1.0 or FOAF documents) when there is a need to describe latitudes and longitudes. The motivation for using RDF as a carrier for lat/long info is RDF's capability for cross-domain data mixing. We can describe not only maps, but the entities that are positioned on the map. And we can use any relevant RDF vocabularies to do so, without the need for expensive pre-coordination, or for changes to a centrally maintained schema.
