Place data has many uses, including augmented reality browsers, gazetteers, location-based social networking games, geocaching, mapping, navigation systems, and many others. In addition, the group will explore how the geospatial industry could best use, influence and contribute to Web standards.

I have just posted in the
Geospatial Semantic Web community group
post
about the
Linked Map project
. As this project uses W3C Semantic Web standards and IETF RFC 5899 to enhance OGC WMS, I think that could be of interest for this community group.
POI microdata

Hello group. As some of you know, there’s already a
conceptual model for POI data
started in the W3C. Although that work is now dormant, it is being carried on by the
OGC
in terms of standardizing the conceptual model and the XML encoding.
I’d like to use this group to work out a microdata format for points of interest data. I have an example posted here:
It looks pretty good in the
Structured Data Testing Tool
. This basically uses the
Place
object. I’d like to get even more semantics into it, but that’s the topic of another discussion. First, what do people this of this so far?
p.s.
OpenPOIs
has over 9 million POIs in it, which all are marked up this way.
Hello world!
