I don't see a consensus on the web for re-purposing the geo prefix from w3c to ogc at the moment besides the adoption of geo for ogc by wikidata. (by the way this reassignment of geo might have been an ad hoc decision by a developer or group of developers in the wikidata project by simply looking up the ogc spec) On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 1:33 PM Andy Seaborne <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Marco, > > Where is' geo' being used? > > Andy > > > On 12/12/2018 12:16, Marco Neumann wrote: > > 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.
