[SAC] space for cat-interop application

[Tom Kralidis]

Hi: the OSGeo Catalogue Interoperability Working Group [1] is working
on defining a open, harmonized set of link type identifiers [2] for
use across catalogue implementations. The idea here is that link types
are identified in a unified fashion so clients can work with
catalogues and be able to add data or services dynamically and with
significantly less heuristics.

Our list in progress is at [2].

Part of this includes a dereferencing endpoint for applications that
really need/want to resolve what the link type identifiers are really
referring to.  This dereferencing endpoint will basically be a thin
front end to bounce / redirect requests to accordingly.

We have a very simple, light Python Flask application [3] which we
would like to hang off the http://osgeo.org/vocab endpoint.

I hope this make sense. Suggestions to move this forward?

Thanks

..Tom
