It's curious how alien the concept of geographic entities identified
by URIs is to GIS folks. See Adena Schutzberg (not a programmer, but
no dummy) scramble to make sense of it:

. For all the talk of "GeoWeb" in GIS, we still don't quite get the web.

Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the AKSW research group [1] I'm pleased to announce the
first public version of the LinkedGeoData.org datasets and services.
LinkedGeoData is a comprehensive dataset derived from the
OpenStreetMap database covering RDF descriptions of more than 350
million spatial features (i.e. nodes, ways, relations).
LinkedGeoData currently comprises RDF dumps, Linked Data and REST
interfaces, links to DBpedia as well as a prototypical user
interface for linked-geo-data browsing and authoring.
More information can be found at: <http://linkedgeodata.org>
Best,
Sören Auer
