Hi all I just picked up that G* indexes recipes by parsing microformat hRecipe! First: I always thought G* would always only index what users see. Second: This backs up the old idea I pursued some time ago by supporting microformat "Geo". And since I believe that a specialized search engine (SE) could do the geoinformation search job better than horizontal, general purpose SE (like G*), I also proposed a syndication format which uses "see also" semantics (e.g. encoded as xlink). That's important in order to help focused webcrawlers finding geospatial data and services. The geospatial world consists not (yet) only of KML!
I put my proposal down in writing here: http://www.gis.hsr.ch/wiki/Geodata_Discovery What do you think? Yours, Stefan _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org
