Let me point out that this vocabulary is totally subject to amendment
and addition, if people would like more expressions in it, or changes
in sense to the ones that are there. We put it up as a 'straw person'
and it's never really been used in application anger yet. The portland
and seattle groups were looking at related schemes at the time, but
nothing really congealed.

We hope by developing something distributable and RESTful to slowly
replace the UK-wide consume.net nodedb, which keeps dropping off the net
and is rather decayed, without seeming too politically confrontational
;) i hope to get the bristol and nottingham groups, here in the UK,
hooked in soon, and that includes to the spatial wiki RDF source, e.g
http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?id=Marble_Arch_Station;format=rdf
and maybe, calendar syndication from evnt.org once they get their RSS
sorted out a bit, from http://dev.evnt.org/zool/changes.rss
re geo-annotating flickr tags, which we also talked about, Francois, 
someone recently pointed me at:

Talking to Mike about the 'social software' side of all this has
flipped the poles on my understanding of what we are trying to do. 
I will post when i have a release (soon) of our spatial aggregator /
nodedbmap component, see if it's useful, please let's talk standards! i
understand there have in the past been IP issues with nodedb.com, and
that this could or should encompass networks which don't talk over the
internet or only do so minimally, to synchronise feeds in a UUCP kind
of a way... as for numbering/naming schemes i really do not know who
has thought hardest about that, or whether it's worth worrying about
now?
