I've put together a quick vocabulary for the interchange of control points in maps. The idea is that any data source can be use to setup the control points before warping / re-projecting, eg: a OHM town can be used to warp a small scale map or a geo:Point long/lat to geo-reference another.
It's currently in OWL format here [1], but using the same tag names in different representations (json, key/value pairs) would go a long way for interoperability. Feel free to import / pull / push / twist / etc. rhw [1] https://github.com/muninn/specs On Jun 16, 2014, at 9:00 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Message: 1 > Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2014 17:12:33 +0300 > From: Susanna ?n?s <[email protected]> > To: Rob Nickerson <[email protected]> > Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [OHM] Redesigning the NYPL Building Inspector > Message-ID: > <cabq1c1wfak3mzk9avszregf1gqk+rbhd+slgz8h4wvlwhc4...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi Rob, > > That's great to hear!
