Title
FMN Spiral 3.0 Geospatial Web Feeds Service Profile
Description
The Geospatial Web Feeds Profile provides standards and guidance for the delivery of geospatial content to web sites and to user agents, including the encoding of location as part of web feeds. Feed processing software is required to either read or ignore these extensions and shall not fail if these extensions are present, so there is no danger of breaking someone's feed reader (or publisher) by including this element in a feed.

FMN Spiral 3 Standards Profile

Taxonomy

Standards

Obligation: MANDATORY, Lifecycle: CURRENT

GeoRSS Simple encoding for "georss point", "georss line", "georss polygon", "georss box".

Obligation: RECOMMENDED, Lifecycle: CURRENT

GeoRSS GML Profile 1.0 a GML subset for point "gml Point", line "gml LineString", polygon "gml Polygon", and box "gml Envelope". In Atom feeds, location shall be specified using Atom 1.0's official extension mechanism in combination with the GeoRSS GML Profile 1.0 whereby a "georss where" element is added as a child of the element.

Guidance

Geography Markup Language (GML) allows to specify a coordinate reference system (CRS) other than WGS84 decimal degrees (lat/long). If there is a need to express geography in a CRS other than WGS84, it is recommended to specify the geographic object multiple times, one in WGS84 and the others in your other desired CRSs.

For backwards compatibility it is recommended to also implement RSS 2.0.
