Oct 17, 2026, 1:14 PM@pixelfed @vernissage we have a task force at the @w3c working on geosocial. Pixelfed, I think you're a W3C member, right? Anyway, that's a good venue for talking about location.
Vernissagevernissage@mastodon.socialOct 17, 2026, 1:32 PM@pixelfed You should definitely check out the ActivityStreams specification: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-location, which describes the standard location property.
You can also take a look at the Vernissage extensions: https://joinvernissage.org/ns#geonameId, where we've added geonameId to uniquely identify places, and FEP-ee3a: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ee3a/fep-ee3a.md, which describes how EXIF metadata (including GPS coordinates from the camera) can be shared via ActivityPub.
