What do people on the list think about re-using the namespace prefix geo?
it's currently used for
WGS84 Geo Positioning: an RDF vocabulary
http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#
but becomes more popular (e.g. see wikidata) as a namespace prefix for
OGC GeoSPARQL 1.0
http://www.opengis.net/ont/geosparql#
I would have preferred to see the OGC introduce a new namespace prefix like
geosparql but for some reason they settled on replacing geo (W3C ) with
geosparql (OGC) and geof for functions. Technically not a big deal but that
said most people would have to change their existing data to refer to the
new URI now to accommodate the change.
Alternatively we could just introduce geosparql or ogcgeo as a new
namespace prefix in jena projects for OGC gesparql to avoid confusion. I am
sure the re-purposing of the geo namespace prefix was a "mistake" at the
time of OGC geosparql (Ed. Matthew Perry and John Herring Oracle)
discussions. No need to perpetuate this change into the future here.
What are your thoughts on this?
