ON COORDINATES:
a) what you describe is more specific than a geolocation (which may be
expressed by other means than coordinates). I suggest to give the data
type the more specific name:
geocoordinates
b) with respect to precision: I don't understand the reasoning to
stick this to degrees.

I'm not sure if we should be going that far, but there may be cases
where longitude and latitude are known with different degree of
accuracy, so multiple

Yep, agreed. Or just coordinates.
Thanks to the pointer, Katie. I meant to look into Max' work for a while,
but failed. Now I did and asked him many questions :)
So the biggest difference is that Max uses dim to represent what we mean
here with precision. And dim is somehow related to precision in a
globe dependent way (which is
Hey,
Depending on the specifics of your project maybe
Semantic MediaWiki is a better fit though. I recommend you have a look
at it as well.
Agree. Definitely sounds like SMW (https://semantic-mediawiki.org) is what
you are looking for. Later it might or might not make sense for you to
switch to
Hey,
Why use Q2 (earth) as the glob, and not Q215848 (WSG84)? That would be
a lot
clearer, I think.
Since WGS84 implies Earth, this works for Earth. Is such an implication
always present though? What if I want to describe a location on some random
planet - I suspect you'd have to specify some
Hey,
For every globe we would always need a geodesic system.
My concern is not having the geodesic system field. This is fine. My
concern is not having a globe field.

yes, probably better without a geo if it shall work for moon or mars as well.
However, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system is far broader
term. But I cannot find a correct superclass term for

It's an interesting point. I personally would prefer seeing the Wikipedia
instance's own language and English stay at the top, followed by the rest
in alphabetical order.A longer stretch might be providing alternative
ordering methods for languages such as alphabetical order, descending sizes

Although preferences are evil, I see the point for customizing this.
