Date: Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 11:55 AM<br>Subject: [Tc] Geo URI proposal in draft stage in the IETF<br>To: <a href="mailto:tc@lists.opengeospatial.org" target="_blank">tc@lists.opengeospatial.org</a><br><br><br>There is an internet draft that may be of interest to the OGC. I have<br>
provided some review and comments but the authors are seeking additional<br>
feedback. Feel free to contact the authors directly. There are GML<br>
examples in the document.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-geopriv-geo-uri-01.txt" target="_blank">http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-geopriv-geo-uri-01.txt</a><br>
<br>
This document specifies an Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for<br>
geographic locations using the 'geo' scheme name. A 'geo' URI<br>
identifies a physical location in a two- or three-dimensional<br>
coordinate reference system in a compact, simple, human-readable, and<br>
protocol independent way. The default coordinate reference system<br>
used is WGS-84.<br>
