This message from the lis-link list might be a window into the future
I'm experimenting at the moment with the Mac using iPhoto and iWeb, which makes geospatial data available so spaces and places take on a knew significance and possibility
There is going to be a bcs meeting on this next March, where the matter of controlled vocabularies and the identification of spaces and places may become more interesting
Watch this for Ethekwini, which makes a good case
