GeoJSON and OGC SensorML

[Sam-Bolling]

This public comment is respectfully submitted by the Web Service Technical Panel (WSTP) of the Defence Geospatial Information Working Group (DGIWG). This comment is specifically directed toward 23-000 OGC SENSORML ENCODING STANDARD. GeoJSON is not mentioned at all in this document. Given the significant relationship of GeoJSON with other current, relevant, and emerging OGC standards, it may prove valuable to clearly define the relationship of this standard with GeoJSON or explain the rationale for a lack thereof.

Discussed during 01/09 telecon.

Will add GeoJSON to the list of Normative references.
Maybe also clarify somewhere that GeoJSON is an option for providing sensor position and deployment geometry.

Maybe add a note in the JSON encoding req class to say that a SensorML Process/System is NOT a GeoJSON feature because GeoJSON implementations don't deal well with complex nested structures.
