<div class="meeting">
<h3 id="item01">Neogeo <a
href="http://mapbureau.com/neogeo/neogeo.xml">draft</a> and Note status</h3>

<p>Present draft reflects general feature model and use of ENTITY. No present
objections to incorporation in a draft Note. </p>

<h3 id="item02">Spatial Ontology federation</h3>

<p>Issue: "Adopting", "Quoting", "Importing" other geospatial ontologies as a
federation pattern. </p>

<p>Is there a straightforward ontology federation "meta-ontology"? </p>

<h3 id="item03">Incubator status and roadmap</h3>

<p>Alternatives: <ol>
  <li>Continue on with spatial ontology and new charter until June</li>
  <li>Finish up with neogeo and propose a Geospatial Interest Group (GIG)
  soon</li>
</ol>
General opinion is that neither clearly builds interest better. Interest is a
cart-horse see-saw of data and applications. Hard to rush. The popularity of
GeoRSS is somewhat anomalous. We run with it but don't really know why it is.
