<h3 id="item01">OWL definition of GeoRSS Proposal
(http://mapbureau.com/neogeo/neogeo.xml)</h3>
</div>

<p>Proposed definition should be revised to reflext the ISO general feature
model (geometry such as point is geometric property of a discerned feature,
not the feature itself).</p>

<p>How do we express the XML Schema type of "list of doubles" in OWL: would
be awkward.</p>

<p>Issue of defining "featuretypetag" literal as the name / identifier of a
feature type: Chris will investigate.</p>

<p>It seems for now that there are several elements in the new geo vocabulary
which require text annotations, as their intent and format is difficult to
constrain just using OWL / RDF Schema.</p>

<p>The alternate ideas provided in the Geoqualifier proposal are interesting
but run the risk of fragmenting a standard and detracting from
interoperability. Hard to come up with something which is stll "compatible"
with the 2003 geo vocabulary, since that runs counter to the ISO model. Need
tow work on a response to this.</p>

<h2><a name="ActionSummary" id="ActionSummary">Summary of Action
