[Tracker] Maemo Location Ontology

[Michele Tameni <michele amdplanet it>]

Hi all,
I'm looking at mlo ontology, and i think that something is missing.

For example how i can specify the type of a GeoPoint or a PointOfInterest.
I mean that sometime is important to distinguish between hotel, menument or whatever.

geonames.org already has an ontology [1] that allow classification using two level of detail, and it's based gsa [2] classification method.

The above ontology also describe some other useful concept like AlternateName [Locatization of the name of the point], OfficialName and other more geo-oriented like InCountry, nearby, neighbour etc.

What you think about this? IMHOÂ could be an interesting addition for location-aware application in maemo.
