There is currently an interesting discussion on the foaf and W3C geospatial
semantics list regarding linking foaf with geonames. Looking to enhance the

approach. It also ignores all of the work done in a variety of standards
organinizations related to the expression of location, especially as
pertains to alerts and emergencies. (01)
