What does Earth really mean? There a many definitions for the size of Earth that need to be resolved when using lat/lon coordinates. Is the size of the Earth defined by the WGS84 or NAD27 definition? For Mars, is it the definition used in 1991 or redefined in 2000? This has previously been solved in web GIS applications by using an "EPSG" code. For planetary bodies we are attempting to define a similar coded standard which currently is called the IAU2000 code or namespace.

Note that these frames are actually realizations of various "reference systems" 1) ITRS, 2) mean Earth/polar axis system, 3) IAU2000 Mars body fixed, respectively), but the system is apparent once the frame has been identified.</li> <li>A secondary issue is that obviously a third coordinate may need to be specified, i.e. some sort of "radius" (from the body center of mass) or "elevation" about a reference surface. If the latter, then that reference surface needs to be specified as well (e.g. Mars, "IAU2000", "IAU2000 sphere").</li> <li>If the microformat(s) were expandable to handle these cases when necessary (and others we haven't yet thought of) then obviously they could have a lot of utility.</li> <li>There are plenty of GIS and standards organization formats out there for handling this type of data, even for the solar system case. I'm not at all an expert on what's available, but obviously for something like the microformats to be generally used, their advantages over these existing formats would have to be made clear.</li> <li>As to usage here, we'll let others know of the existence of these formats, but I can't say how much immediate interest there might be in using them. We already (and Trent could say more) use a wide range of GIS and even flat file formats to carry e.g. lists of point-like data.</li> <li>Regarding one other point on the web pages, I believe the "Moon" (capitalized) is the primary recognized name for the Moon.

It might be desirable to be able to define areas, or single locations in a more fuzzy manner. Sometimes, as in the case of pictures of landscapes, you might want to indicate the Point of View (i.e. the location of the viewer) </p><p>To accomplish all of this would require three additions to the geo microformat. </p> <ol><li>a <i>precision</i> attribute: This can be generally useful as even GPS devices have a margin of error, which you might want to indicate. Otherwise it can be used to give an idea of the <i>bounding sphere</i> of a large object like a building.</li> <li>an <i>area</i> attribute: This could use a system similar to that used by <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/paths.html#PathData">SVG</a> for defining paths, but using lat and long for defining points. It is rather odd that, for example on wikipedia, entire countries or cities are identified by a single point.</li> <li>some sort of <i>vector</i> attribute: While the only use I can think of for this if for photos of landscapes, it would be good to be able to indicate that the Geographic information relates to the position of the viewer rather than the subject. The <i>vector</i> would indicate where the viewer (camera) is looking</li></ol> <p>I'm not sure whether the <i>area</i> and <i>vector</i> features are well suited to be extensions of <i>geo</i> or should be independent microformats. Particularly the <i>vector</i> might be better suited for inclusion in some 'EXIF-data equivalent micro format'.
