TASK DESCRIPTION
  Currently, the coordinates in RDF are presented as WKT literal in 
latitude-longitude order, e.g. for Seattle 
(https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5083) the representation is:
  
    wdt:P625 "Point(47.6 -122.31666666667)"^^geo:wktLiteral ;
  
  However, multiple sources suggest the default order used in most WKT 
implementations is longitude-latitude, e.g.:
  
  
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/isaac/2008/03/05/the-upcoming-geography-coordinate-order-swap-a-faq/
  https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=47664 sec 8.5.1
  
  So we may want to switch the order. This will require full DB reload and GUI 
fixes, so we may time it to coincide with other geospatial features deployment.
