For your review and EO1 imagery distribution (OWS-4 demo), I do not believe
that the georss metadata is enough for our users. I am proposing to add a
new namespace called geonames (since Marc from geonames.org is helping...
Hope it is ok)
This adds a lot of metadata to the feed in addition to position.
Zones and regions are from Flinn-Engdahl (USGS). This is a nice complement
over water...
Also notice the nearBy places...
This should considerably improve the search performance.
Example:
<feed xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#"
xmlns:geonames="http://www.geonames.org" xml:lang="en-US"
xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss"
xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#">
<title>EO1 GeoBliki</title>
<subtitle type="html">Sensor Web Enabled (SWE) Data Node </subtitle>

Is it ok?
Marc?
