Hi John,

Great stuff; all I need now is an excuse to have a play.

I thought for a while that seographic might be a technical term, but now reckon it's just a typo in the blog entry.

One thing that sticks out (for me) is that the ontologies still aren't published at their URI.  There's RDF at the ontology URI which says that its rdf:type is owl:Ontology, but then there's a dangling rdfs:isDefinedBy pointing to empty space.

Cheers,
Alex.
