			This is a list of previous efforts at location / geographic ("Geo") data formats and protocols, as background research for developing [[location]] microformats. Continuation of work from [[location-examples]], and following onto [[location-brainstorming]].

	~~== What People are Publishing ==~~

	* links to mapping services, canonical URLs to 3rd party services like:
	** Google Maps
	** Map Quest
	** Yahoo Maps

	* human / named / legislated formats
	** named places, e.g. Westin St. Francis
	** addresses, including zip codes

	* global/mathematical/geometrical
	** Latitude / Longitude / Altitude
	*** MAKE has a GeoURL button
	*** Geo in RSS. Means a particular blog post is associated with a specific lat/long. Not specific about whether it means the location that the post was made from or the location was the post was about.
	*** Most systems do not contemplate or support the altitude component of a coordinate. As 3D terrain mapping grows in popularity (Google Earth), expect geocoding systems to provide the altitude.
