Deborah - (01)
There are various places for geospatial and related standard encoding
references. (02)
One place to start is the OGC web site. Specifically, I would look at the
GML Point Profile ( now also part of IEEE 1451 ).
http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=11606 . This is a very
simple profile, a restricted subset of the Geography Markup Language
http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=4700 . You will see more
of GML sprinkled through the references below. (03)
Also check out GeoRSS (www.georss.org). There is a simple information model
for point, line, polygon, and box. There are multiple serializations,
including a GML application schema. (04)
For civic addresses, there are a variety of standards. Two of the key ones
are xAL (from OASIS) which is part of CIQ
.http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ciq/ciq.html#6 . Then there is the
work of the IETF for civic address. The IETF is looking at encoding location
into a number of key infrastructure standards for the internet, such as DHCP
and SIP. Check out http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/geopriv-charter.html at
the bottom of that page for various drafts as well as a set of new internet
RFCs. Also note that for the application level standards, the IETF is using
an application schema of GML. The particular application schema has been
vetted by the membership of the OGC and will soon be posted as an OGC best
practices document. The IETF list also has a lengthy dialogue on location by
reference, as this is a key issue with E-911 services and internet devices
and applications, such as VoIP. (05)
Finally, there is the Geospatial Incubator activity at the W3C. The OGC,
W3C, and a number of joint members are discussing various semantics issues
related to expressing location as part of the semantic web. (06)
There is lots, lots more but I think I have provided some good starting
points :-) (07)
