[humanmarkup] PBS-Doc-geolocator

I was starting to get tired here, which shows because I wrote emotion for geolocator in the initial post.

This was another element for which little was needed. We will cite the authorities and provide some mechanism to include the existing standards.

      Hi Everyone,

      I'm moving on to another element. I am hoping to hear still more on
      culture and emotion, but I don't want to let this effort lapse while
      I anticipate further considerations of those elements.

      emotion

      This is a ComplexType without the attribute of abstract. It does not
      reference other elements. It belongs to the attribute group
      humldentifierAtts. It takes an attribute value of intensity.

      It's description is: Geographic Location. A 3D address type based on
      map coordinate systems.

      This is also basic and atomistic. I happen to think that most
      concerns in our further uses of this element will occur with GPS and
      X3D in relation to public safety and emergency services in GPS and
      representations of actual physical environments in VRML/X3D which
      will be using the GeoVRML extensions to the base core of VRML97 and
      X3D, so I will say that I think we need someone, probably me again,
      to ensure that our vocabularies remain compatible, consistent and
      interoperable with those vocabularies.

      This element, as all, belongs to the humlIdentifierAtts set of datatypes.

      I hope we see some further contributions this weekend, as mentioned
      above. The next element is haptics, and this is another of the broad
      and dense ones, so I may post it sooner during the weekend rather
      than later on Monday or Tuesday.

      Thoughts?

      Ciao,
      Rex

      Oops, my bad. Correction below. I was doing a save-as and just overwriting. Obviously not a good idea.
      Bad synchronization of brain and fingers.

      Sorry,

      Might be worth viewing the 2 following geospatial metadata resources:

      #1: US Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)
      URL = http://www.fgdc.gov/
      and the standards page:
      http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/standards.html
      and particularly, the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM)
      http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/contstan.html
      Many US-Based intiatives, especially those addressing GIS and GPS, use CSDGM, or elments thereof, ,
      including NSDL (National Science Digital Libraries)
      #2. Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names (TGN) and the Geographic Names Places server (updated monthly)

      http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabulary/tgn/
      A number of intiatives cite the TGN as a structured vocabulary.

      Thanks, James,

      We will be certain to harmonize our vocabularies with the standards.
