Greetings - as some of you may know - from WhereCamp - we rapidly put together a draft specification of OpenSearch-Geo. We did it with DeWitt Clinton - the original mastermind behind OpenSearch, and had general consensus in the group.
I've posted the draft here - with some modifications: http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/Extensions/Geo/1.0/Draft_1 I would definitely like any more feedback or thoughts people could offer on the spec. The guiding principle behind the spec was to make it work with existing services where possible (hence the bbox w,s,e,n order) and also make it parallel to GeoRSS and GeoJSON. This makes it easier for all the specs to try and move forward together in the future (we can argue concepts/terminology once and have it apply to all) as well as educating other developers and users by being able to instruct once and have common concepts carry over to the different "formats". I figured Friday afternoon - you're all looking for some interesting reading and the weekend to play with it. :) Thanks Andrew -- Andrew Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] 42.2774N x 83.7611W http://highearthorbit.com Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
