Hi Tom, such a vocabulary using urn's is that still commonly used?
My impression is that vocabularies these days use url's as identifiers.

I noticed you've also added some formats in the list (GML).
Should we extend the list to have all known (geo)-formats, or maybe only
W3C/OGC/OKFN-standard formats that are commonly used for data exchange?
And/Or create a separate list for formats
(we might use an OGR-capabilities document here).

Such as:
- geojson
- topojson
- esri shapefile/filegeodatabase/e00
- dxf/mapinfo tab
- postgis/oracle/msql(-dumps)
- mbtiles/spatialite/geoPackage
- geoTiff/geoJpeg/mrsid/...
- geoCSV/dbf/xls

Some additional servicetypes to consider
- TMS/WMSc/WMTS
- atom/rss/opensearch
- geosparql/rdf/json-ld/rdfa
- odata
- geoGit
- geoRestConf (a to be developed spec to configure servers remotely,
like https://github.com/neogeo-technologies/mra)

I'd suggest to use w3c as namespace for the www-link type

For www-thumbnail we might also use the schema.org thumbnailUrl-property
from CreativeWork, does this make sence?

Cheers, Paul
