I'm open and keen to any simple solutions for webcrawlers and for humans. Please correct me, if I understand you wrong: For webcrawlers you propose embedding Atom-links in HTML and behind these Atom-Links there is a GeoRSS/Atom-File containing Atom link relation types, which indicate related services and even OGC services. => I like that, though I think we still need to get consensus about Atom link relation types for OGC services, don't we? For humans, you propose to agree on a geotag, we need to agree upon. => Does this mean, you propose to make a different geotag icon e.g. for every single OGC Service WMS, WFS, etc.? -S. P.S. In Fall 2008 there was the OGC Geospatial Search Summit. Is there any activity at OGC and between the former invited members? Nice blog!
