As <abbr title="Rich Site Syndication">RSS</abbr> becomes more and more prevalent as a way to publish and share information, it becomes increasingly important that location is described in an interoperable manner so that applications can <strong>request</strong>, <strong>aggregate</strong>, <strong>share</strong> and <strong>map</strong> geographically tagged feeds.</p> <p> To avoid the fragmentation of language that has occurred in RSS and other Web information encoding efforts, we have created this site to promote a relatively small number of encodings that meet the needs of a wide range of communities. By building these encodings on a common information model, we hope to promote interoperability and &quot;upwards-compatibility&quot; across encodings. </p>
