Subject: [regext] Re: [IANA #1414866] expert review for 
draft-ietf-regext-rdap-geofeed (link-relations)
The description given:

> Indicates that the link context has a resource with geographic information at 
> the link target

doesn't seem correct; I *believe* the intent is something like:

> Refers to a resource with geographic information related to the link context

[JS] Thanks for this correction. Updated the description, while also 
considering your next comment.


Also, the name requested is extremely generic. If the intent is that this use 
will be specific to RDAP, the relation name should be correspondingly specific 
-- e.g., "rdap-geofeed". On the other hand, if the intent is to register a 
generic name, the language in the specification should explicitly indicate its 
generic semantics and separate the RDAP case more clearly (e.g., using a "type" 
attribute to indicate a media type). Moving the registration to a separate 
document would assist in this.


[JS] Agreed. However, to have the specificity balance with the proposed 
“application/geofeed+csv” media type, we as authors would prefer to have 
“geofeed” as the relation type, instead of “rdap-geofeed”. The rationale is 
that this media type would be used by non-RDAP geofeed CSV-processing 
applications as well, beside the RDAP-centric applications. Since the “geofeed” 
term is commonly used in lieu of the more technically proper “IP geolocation 
feed” term from the core geofeed RFC 9632 that this draft refers to for the 
RDAP geofeed link purposes, hopefully it is specific enough to be registered 
from within the RDAP Geofeed draft rather than needing a separate document for 
the relation type.



Updated registration:



* Relation Name: geofeed

* Description: Refers to a resource with IP geofeed location information 
related to the link context.

* Reference: This document.
