Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Hi all: Just a quick comment. I think the idea of a "point feature" is misguided. The items covered in the list of point feature types is better covered as an observation feature or observation event. The observation or observation collection then has geometric characteristics such as where the observer was located, or where the observations are located. I am generally opposed to the idea of defining features by their geometry properties since this has the semantics backwards. No instrument can make "point measurements" - so the items are observations first and these observations then have geometric properties (like location or estimated location). Cheers Ron
