[Geojson] Assessing date/time ideas

[Kristoffer Snabb]

Hi Sean,

Expanding the domain to cover that of feeds helps,

We use GeoJSON to carry 'soft' data of perceptions and temporary data
connected to a place, route or area. In this case we have been using
different media to describe the context of the place and specific
perceptions of a place. Anyway, we have survived with adding a property of
mimetype and url but it would be nice if there existed a standard way to do
this in the GeoJSON specification.

And we also expect that the perceptions of a place change over time and in
that way they are created and they expire. A timestamp (feed) is also needed
if we create time space diagram of routes. Although when we map daily
activities of people they tend to stay many hours in one place in which case
the create and expire time is again needed.

Hope this clarifies something,,

Kristoffer
