Location hashtags
While people already tag their posts with hashtags derived from city or other location names (e.g. #Berlin, #CentralPark), these hashtags aren't always useful: if you want to see content from just your neighborhood in a large city, or content that is local to your current position in a rural area that does not have a single, useful location name, there might not be any agreed-upon hashtag that can be searched for. Even in cases where such a hashtag does exist, it might be hard to learn […] -

En Afrique du Sud, des « adresses numériques » pour cartographier les bidonvilles
Lawley Station, à 40 km au sud de #Johannesburg. Sur ce plateau aride, des milliers de cabanes de tôle forment une masse compacte, dans laquelle serpente un dédale de ruelles de terre battue. Ce jour-là, elles sont investies par des jeunes du quartier revêtus de tenues jaune fluorescent. Par petits groupes, ils s’affairent à mesurer l’écart entre chaque portail donnant sur un groupement de cabanes. (...)
« Ici c’est un lieu de culte. On essaie d’être le plus spécifique possible pour que les gens puissent se repérer. » Elle fait partie de la trentaine de volontaires recrutée par l’#ONG #Planact pour cartographier le quartier et attribuer une adresse à chaque propriété.
Planact, qui lutte depuis 1985 contre l'exclusion des populations vulnérables, a lancé ce programme d'adresses numériques avec le soutien de #Google. Le moteur de recherche fournit la plateforme permettant de recenser les habitations et de leur attribuer un « Plus code », soit des coordonnées géographiques simplifiées en une combinaison simple, utilisable sur Google Maps. Une plaque bleue indiquant le Plus code est ensuite apposée sur les habitations.

Btw, #normalization of #georeference|s is not trivial, because it requires techniques called #InstanceMatching.
It's an entire field of ongoing research.
A search for one of the #Berlin|s should be able to come up with

People who want to use exact #georeferencing in a posting should have a way to do so, for example for offline events or to describe #geospatial (or #marsian) features.

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:
→ https://mastodon.social/@jpreisendoerfer/109727868336726649
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).
Plus char can be dropped from OLC, because ›OLC‹ indicates #PlusCode.
For reduced precision, drop trailing OLC letters.

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.
