What you're saying is that a domain scientist, who is being explicit in his description of data collection, procedures, processes, and coverages now has to conform to the manner another group has dictated. An atmospheric or ocean scientist today, save a precious few will have no idea of how to relate to a gazetteer or redefine their observation in a earth realm unless it's consistent with their experience and training. We're not out to retrain the world into geospatial data conformists, but rather, to help the world interoperate. Somehow, the intent seems to get lost in this discussion. gerry
