Bug #: 30990
Summary: SMW Type "Geographic coordinate" is a misnomer, change
to Geographic_coordinates
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Semantic MediaWiki
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The geographic coordinates for a single point on earth are two or three (with
elevation) coordinates. Thus the singular refers to either longitude or
latitude, but not to the combination of the two. The SMW type, however, refers
to the tupel of longitude, latitude.
See, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco - the "coordinates"
(plural) indicate a single point on earth.
Suggestions: add "Geographic coordinates" as new type, deprecating "Geographic
coordinate" to a synonym of this.
