More discussion is required on how to structure meaningful (spatial) queries with search engines

Relating to Best Practice 25: Make your entity-level data indexable by search engines, more discussion is required on how to structure meaningful (spatial) queries with search engines (e.g. based on identifier, location, time etc.).

During the SDW f2f meeting during TPAC, Sapporo, @danbri demonstrated that Google can provide search over structured content; example of structured markup (https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/?url=http://travel.cnn.com/tokyo/sleep/hokutosei-sleeper-train-tokyo-sapporo-905418) which has 'City' named 'Tokyo' … Google Custom Search restricted to pages describing a schema:City: https://cse.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=013484121852858951051:_k8pkh6pfio

Can this be turned into an example / commentary? (not necessarily by @danbri - but his help would be useful).

At the SDW face-to-face meeting in London, December 2016, we agreed the following:

this is not a data publishing issue; you need to create the rich data before you can begin to do simple queries

Creating the queries is beyond the scope of our discussion about how to publish spatial data on the Web.

Closing this ISSUE.
