Voter Vote Voter's comment
Simon Cox Reject No definition provided. DMS per se only encodes a single number. Two numbers are required to specify a point in 2-D space (e.g. on the surface of the earth) and more if altitude, time are also required. Hence, this will not work.
Renato Iannella Approve  
Jon Mason abstain

Juha Hakala abstain  
Diane Hillmann Reject  
Stuart Weibel Reject  
Andy Powell abstain What's the URL for this?
Makx Dekkers Reject  
Leif Andresen Approve  
Roland Schwaenzl Reject  
Tom Baker Reject  
Rebecca Guenther abstain Needs to elaborate on the difference between this and DC Point.
Eric Childress abstain  
Stuart Sutton Reject  
Sigfrid Lundberg Reject This is a single longitude or latitude, in the abscence of the structure given by DCMI Point, and you don't know which. Pretty useless.
Warwick Cathro abstain Insufficient explanation or description of this scheme: even if a pair of numbers is allowed or implied, there is no description of how to determine which number is latitude and which is longitude. Different conventions have been used in different contexts.
Erik Jul Approve  
Rachel Heery Reject  
Diann Rusch-Feja Approve  
eric miller Approve I agree with this concept, however, the specifications for encoding are required for *all* DCMI proposed encoding schemes.... if these are not provided, I'd reject this.
Shigeo Sugimoto Approve

Leif Andresen Approve

Tom Baker Approve As with subject headings, if TGN is insufficiently applicable globally, we can recognize other thesauri of geographic names as well. Now that Simon has found the current URL, I'm changing my vote.
Rebecca Guenther Approve

Stuart Sutton Approve  
Sigfrid Lundberg Approve Should be an encoding scheme for coverage

eric miller Approve I agree with this concept, however, I think we should liason with the Getty for providing better access to this encoding scheme.
