1/2 The Spatio-Temporal Data on the Web Working Group (#SDWWG) of the World Wide Web Consortium (#W3C) was recently re-chartered. The next two years I will be co-chairing this group with Rob Atkinson (#OGC).
There is a great deal brewing up in the #GeoSemantics space, to name just a few:
- #SOSA 2.0
- #GeoDCAT
- #WebVMW
- An #Ontology for Coordinate Reference Systems (#CRS)
- A #3D extension for #GeoSPARQL

"The word “nostalgia” is composed of Greek words for “homecoming” and “pain.” [...] The physician recommended treating the early stages of nostalgia by distracting the patient, inducing vomiting, and opening a vein for bleeding. If all that failed, the only option that remained was to return the patient to their native land. This, he observed, often resulted in a full recovery."

"These pieces are an invitation to extend the limits of the perceptible in relation with the Earth, thus forcing us to “ouvir á terra” (listening to the earth). However, as Gustavo Caboco suggests in Portuguese, “ouvir áterra” also means “listening terrorizes”, as far as listening to the Earth risks also hearing the violence and horrors that could emerge with it."
