[georss] raster images and relationshiptag

[Mikel Maron]

Anselm Hook and I were talking here at XTech about rasters in GeoRSS, and came up with a use for the "relationshiptype" tag, to specify that a box geometry designates the bounding box of an image refernced in a RSS item. For example..
 
 <entry>
  <title>Georeferenced Image</title>
  <id>#1234</id>
  
  <georss:where relationshiptype="image-extent">
    <gml:Envelope>
        <gml:lowerCorner>42.943 -71-32</gml:lowerCorner>
        <gml:upperCorner>43.039 -69.856</gml:upperCorner>
    </gml:Envelope>
  </georss:where>
 </entry>

This seems like it could be pretty useful, but not something I've thought of before. For example, many people were sharing aerial images of New Orleans post-hurricane in KML. Imagine being able to subscribe to a feed in a disaster zone, containing polygons and points of affected areas, locations of aid delivery points, and up to date imagery.

Thoughts?
