Thanks Bob,

I've dug up some old java code that contained a snippet from the geo schema I used (in a javadoc comment). Here it is:
/**
...
 * <p>RDF Vocabulary for describing points:
 * <code>
 * <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
 *       xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#">
 *   <geo:Point>
 *     <geo:lat>54.5722</geo:lat>
 *     <geo:long>0.014024</geo:long>
 *   </geo:Point>
 * </rdf:RDF>
 *
 * (eg. <geo:Point geo:lat="54.5722" geo:long="0.014024"/> )
 * </code>
...
*/
  
I hope this helps you out.

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Robert.

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" /> ).

Yes and the ICBM is part of them. As best I can tell a complete set looks like this:

<meta name="geo.placename" content="loc. Amerique, 10, 11020 Quart, Aosta (Valle d'Aosta), Italy">
<meta name="geo.position" content="45.740005;7.368822">
<meta name="geo.region" content="IT-Valle d'Aosta">
<meta name="ICBM" content="45.740005, 7.368822">
