Who am I and why do I dare talk about this

Each community defined its own domain. SOAP vs REST http://agile2010.dsi.uminho.pt/pen/ShortPapers_PDF/73_DOC.pdf And those domains sometimes overlap. Cross-domain harmonization. http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/documents/Network_Services/Linked_Data_&_INSPIRE_v101.pdf

Mandated in INSPIRE	Description	Linked alignment
Spatial Objects	Features that you can recognise like buildings and roads	We can associate other information with these objects
Unique identifiers	Persistent and traceable	Required to explicitly link data
Classification of the objects	Explicit type [codelist and enumerations will be mandatory]	Ontologies
All other aspects are also predefined	Coord Systems, Network Services Registries etc	Mainstream information benefits from economies of scale & reuse
