[georss] Transport of Toponyms with GeoRSS

[Pat Cappelaere]

Ron,

The point is that we do not need to have a WFS to get that capability.
We need to get OGC web services to syndicate content in a standard way such
as GeoRss/Atom 1.0 format.  This can then be picked up by aggregators such
as pubsub.com/feedster and this makea the data avaialble to a much wider
community using interoperable standards. Then we get into geoblogs,
geowikis, geoblikis...

This is where the action is.

To get there we need a better way to express contents (especially geospatial
content).  GML is certainly a great step and we have to thank you for it.

Again, if you look at the pubsub example, it is intriguing.
Should the georss feeds support that kind of added information?
I believe that Mark is pushing for something similar to address granularity.

V/R,

Pat.
