Talk:Simple Features

[edit] Merge Simple Features and Well-known text

These two articles basically cover the same content. However, I'm not exactly sure if the ending result article should be Simple Features, but possibly Simple feature access (or SFA). The forward of the latest OGC document says:

This version supersedes all previous versions of OpenGIS® Simple Features Implementation Specification for SQL, including portions of OGC 99-049 "OpenGIS Simple Features Specification for SQL Rev 1.1", OGC 99-050 "OpenGIS Simple Features Specification For OLE/COM Rev 1.1", OGC 99-054 “OpenGIS Simple Features Specification For CORBA Revision 1.1.”, and OGC 05-126 “OpenGIS Implementation Specification for Geographic information - Simple feature access - Part 1:Common architecture”.

—OGC, Simple feature access - Part 1: Common architecture

So, basically, the "Simple Features" specification (and name) is superseded by Simple feature access. Thoughts/discussion/suggestions? +mt 03:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
