Gannon,
Thanks for your feedback. As usual, very interesting! I'll have a
deeper look into it and maybe we can follow-up on the eGov IG meetings?
Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Thank you for using a lower-case "n". My first thought was "Oh
{expletive deleted}, here we go again!", but the "n" made me click.
Around-The-Clock News (and Weather && Community Culture) are
something entirely different Around-The-Clock data[1,2]. An always-
on/off "user" schedule assumption works for appliances, but a
cadastral map, even coarse grained, is necessary to prevent
encroachment on the personal privacy of human users. A reference
from the GPS on an appliance to a cadastral map renders anonymous
the "location" of a human appliance user. Also known as "hide in
plain sight" :o)
INSPIRE Spatial Things, Spatial Objects, and Theme=CP (Cadastral
parcels
) help quite a bit. The US Library of Congress Country URI (Spatial
Things) and Geographic Area URI (Spatial Objects) help too, although
a PURL[3] could be used to reconcile LOC-ID and INSPIRE URI formats.
The complete data sets, unfortunately, are very big. An LDAP
"Address Book" tool to hold map fragments off-line is a good idea.
I have US and Australian Weather Stations as a test case in an
OpenOffice DB. It's a slow monstrosity and hard to move. The
extracts (with links) are a bit better, but still large files.

All,
FYI: we have re-launched the LATC (Linked Open Data
Around-The-Clock) project homepage [1]. Check out the freely
available reports on best practices for Linked Data
publishing and consuming, the Publication & Consumption
Tools Library and the 24/7 Interlinking Platform.
Note that our ongoing work, sponsored by the EC under the
FP7 Programme, is available via the project's repository
[2].
Cheers,
Michael - LATC co-ordinator
