Hi Bob,

2. geo.position: According to Wikipedia geo.position tags help in returning regional search requests, or as they put it: "It understandably makes little sense to look for a baker and find one who has his shop in a completely different town". If this is the case, then it would seem putting geo.position tags on a bed and breakfast site in Pisa, Italy that is trying to reach potential guests around the world would not be a good idea. Anyone have any experience or thoughts regarding these tags?

Does the geo ontology/schema also represent properties for longitude and latitude? I wrote a geospacial inferencing engine a while back for inferring distances between points using the great circle method. From memory, I think it used the geo schema.

If it is for a web page, also look at using an 'ICBM' meta tag (eg. <meta name="ICBM" content="12.345, -67.890" /> ).
