Subject: |
the dot-geo and its potential positive effects |
Message: |
|
As a member of the ISO standards
communities and a developer of solutions in the fields that deal with geolocated
information I think that the time for .geo is now. In the past year our firm
has worked with several agencies in many countries to evaluate their needs regarding
infrastructure, communication and interoperability and one of the key missing components
is the framework proposed by SRI. We have just completed a study for the
Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure and based on our findings I believe that
.geo can have a positive effect on the developing national efforts. With regard
to the issues that were raised by Mr. Kottman, I think we haved evolved far enough
along in our quest to make geographical applications mainstream to recognize another
positive move. Just as OGC provided a less restrictive forum than the conventional
standards groups and helped bring the big players to the standards arena, the .geo
will increase the awareness of the power of spatial computing beyond the traditional
boundaries. I think the .geo is a good thing and I hope the proposal succeeds. Henry
