[open-geodata] Query API for Open Data - including GeoNames

Mon Feb 25 14:22:57 UTC 2013

Be sure you align with:

-- Emerging GeoPackage standard from OGC: http://www.ogcnetwork.net/geopackage

-- GeoSciML: http://www.geosciml.org/ 

-- OGC Sensor Web for Internet of Things activity: http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/sweiotswg .

The last thing Open Science needs is technology stovepipes! (Longer rant and ramble here: http://www.earthzine.org/2011/03/30/standards-enable-open-geoscience-opportunities/.)
