Does anyone know if there is any published information about representing geographical location information in XML. I want to specify a location starting at a root level and drill down to the smallest location unit. For example, the following would be a full location descriptor of where an artifact might be located.
Solar System, Earth, North America, United States, North Carolina, Wake County, Raleigh, North Carolina State University, DH Hill Library, Room 216, Cubical A. I would want the XML data to represent the Region's Name (Earth) and Region's Type (Planet) among other things. I would presume that this would normally be represented in a Tree like structure. I'm sure this has been addressed by the XML Gurus and maybe a document does exist that describes a standard (DTD, Schema) that I can reuse. Does anyone know of anything or where I might be able to go to look? I've searched the internet and only come up with GIS which is more complicated that what I need.
