Further needs for geo shapes
We have a request from a project to include more than points in our geo (location) references - more for completeness than any immediate need. There is experience using geoJson on that project. Currently we are using SpatialThing from the Basic Geo vocabulary https://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/, with lat, long, alt. We picked it because is very simple, and attempts somewhat to bridge competing standards.
I found a really helpful document from the W3C discussing options, https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-bp/, here are some especially useful sections:
- concepts https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-bp/#spatial-things-features-and-geometry
- best practices https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-bp/#bp-summary
- comparison tables here https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-bp/#applicability-formatVbp
I'm still mulling over the best way to think about it for VF, but thought I would get the issue out here so others can connect if they want. And have time. :) [edit: but not required, I'll put out a proposal after I have settled some of this in my head, and then there will be something to really comment on]
