The section following is also interesting, albeit irrelevant for your procedure. It implies that when uncertainty is omitted (and therefore unknown), then "geo:41.53000000,-70.67000000" and "geo:41.53,-70.67" identify the same geo resource.This follows from the definition of xs:float, which RDF (and presumably geo) borrow. These two strings are each representations of the same IEEE floating-point value. Something with a precision is a different datatype.It seems to me that georeferencing needs a notion of density - some way to express a location as a value at a point and a standard deviation (we assume a normal distribution). A rectangle becomes an integral of these densities at each point - standard deviation of zero corresponding to the usual sharply-defined rectangle. You'd probably also want to supply a cutoff value._______________________________________________If you have received this transmission in error please notify us immediately by return e-mail and delete all copies.
