    I take it for granted that users must be able to decide upon the precision of the #geocoding they use for their postings.

    And that they must also be able to decide upon the geogaphic range of search when they lookup #georef|erenced postings.

    The location property of the #ActivityVocabulary does not only support exact locations but also areas in the sense that it allows for ›logical locations‹.

    A logical location could be ›near Berlin«, but also a #geocode with reduced precision.

    Relax, no one is seeking to re-invent any wheel.

    This thread is more about usability than it is about implementation.

    No one can make use of #semantic properties in a vocabulary as long as they do not show up in frontends.

    So, rather than deter consideration, let's keep the dialogue going.

    Have a look at my use of #geocoding hashtags:

    mastodon.social/@jpreisendoerf

    I think it'd be better to prefix the respective #geocode with an abbreviation indicating its type.

    #HamRadio people will often want to use #Maidenhead (#QTH) locators rather than #OpenLocationCode (#PlusCode).

    #QTHJO62
    #OLC9F4M

    Plus char can be dropped from OLC, because ›OLC‹ indicates #PlusCode.

    For reduced precision, drop trailing OLC letters.

  16. I wonder if #PlusCodes could viably be used as hashtags to generate some sort of geographically #local feed.

    The first six characters of a plus code denote an area of roughly 5x5 km², so if I take a full plus code like "9F4MG98H+G3", and then create a hashtag using the first six characters, like #9F4MG9, adding that hashtags to posts would allow others to find activity in a certain region.
