[georss] RDF vocabulary for geographically data

[Joshua Lieberman]

Undoubtedly there are further subtleties to this, but OWL is one (or  
three) dialects of RDF, so an OWL ontology should be able to be  
expressed in any of the RDF serializations, and is for all practical  
purposes RDF. The converse is not true: not all RDF vocabularies are  
OWL ontologies.

There is now a GeoRSS ontology, for example, at http://mapbureau.com/ 
neogeo/neogeo.owl which is in the OWL Lite dialect of RDF. The  
geonames ontology mentioned by Stefan likewise can be used as RDF,  
but  an OWL dialect provides a given vocabulary with additional  
reasoning possibilities beyond arbitrary RDF triples.

There are also ontologies for basic spatial relationships, such as  
http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/SpatialRelations.owl , but  
those simple relationships have not necessarily been expanded yet to  
define such things as isCapitalOf.

Cheers,

Josh
