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?
