[georss] Discovery of georss and other geographic information?

[Ron Lake]

Hi,

 

There is a well developed service (web service) at the OGC called the
Web Registry Service.  It is based on the OAISIS ebRIM and can provide
search by keyword, by classification scheme, by parameters, and by
location.  Discovered resources including georss data can reside in
repositories - in the case of georssGML these resources can be
geographic features and supported in a Web Feature Service (WFS).  There
are already many years of work behind each of these services and each
has many commercial implementations.  These services support features
like automated harvesting, publication etc.

Is anyone here who already thought (wrote or specified) about the
discovery of structured geographic information like georss files?

 

I'm thinking of mechanisms, protocols and concepts for the discovery,
dissemination (= producer view) and gathering (= search service view) of
ressources, like georss records. I've written down some thoughts about
discovery mechanisms at our GISpunkt Wiki
http://www.gis.hsr.ch/wiki/OSGeodata_Discovery
<http://www.gis.hsr.ch/wiki/>  .

BTW: What's the status of georss as part of microformats?
http://microformats.org/wiki/geo does'nt really represent the current
(matured) status of georss.
