The initial Geospatial Vo Camp (http://vocamp.org/wiki/NeoGeoVoCampOctober2009) focused on a set of "sweetspot", lightweight geospatial ontologies for NeoGeography and Linked Open Data. Its goal is to foster discussions and INITIAL vocabulary development/extensions around a suite of small, core geo/temporal/event ontologies for a NeoGeo Semantic Web, which lies at the nebulous intersection of the Semantic Web, Social Web, Geo Web and Mobile Web.
