[Tdwg-tag] GML expressed in RDF

[Roger Hyam]

I just came across a couple of pages pertinent to the recent discussion 
regarding GML.

http://danbri.org/words/2005/07/26/110

http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/

Among the general noise made by people in St Petersburg were the 
comments that GML as a whole was "too complex". Perhaps profiling a 
subset in RDF (especially under the umbrella of W3C) would solve several 
problems.

Anyhow worth thinking about if we want to freely mix geographic data 
with our biodiversity data.

What do you think?

Roger
