21. Geolocation Tag - Appl.Profile Overviewer, Literature Repo.: example and question

[ACz-UniBi]

another Example, with separated geoLocation's

<geoLocations>
<geoLocation>
<geoLocationPoint>29.952944 -28.592028</geoLocationPoint>
<geoLocationPlace>Meteor Seamount</geoLocationPlace>
</geoLocation>
<geoLocation>
<geoLocationBox>41.090 -71.032 42.893 -68.211</geoLocationBox>
<geoLocationPlace>Atlantic Ocean</geoLocationPlace>
</geoLocation>
</geoLocations>

and question:

Is the use of geoLocationBox and geoLocationPoint and/or geoLocationPolygon in the same geoLocation tag possible and wishing?

[joschirr]

I don't know if it makes sense but obviously this is supported:
http://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-4.1/metadata.xsd

[ACz-UniBi]

Yes, the schema of datacite mixed this too. It makes sense if a

geoLocationPolygon/Box is mixed with geoLocationPoint and one geoLocationPlace which describe the whole area in a geoLocation tag. But it doesn't make sense if more the one geoLocationPlace are written in a geoLocation tag because the relation between placeName and geoPlace is lost.

This example separates this and makes it clearer, I think.
