[OSGeodata] Geodata meeting this Thursday 1600GMT, 1100EST

[Stefan F. Keller]

Hello Jo,

I apologie myself having sort of interrupted the last thread about
'WFS-basic and geometadata exchange' which began so interesting. WFS basic
and GeoRSS output is still a hot topic to me.

I tried again to sort out what protocols and/or information models we are
really talking about in the context of geometadata and data repositories!
See http://www.gis.hsr.ch/wiki/OSGeodata_Discovery<http://www.gis.hsr.ch/wiki/>
>
Protocols and information models for some thoughts about this.

You will see that I came up with four protocols - including WFS basic - and
two minimal models which contain DClite4G and Peter's extensive but still
sort of minimal model.

Hope this could be an input for the meeting today (which I have to abstain).
