Assertions in Atom for InsAph 4.202
This is an attempt to imagine an Atom feed (plus GeoRSS) to be associated with an example, online edition of a primary source. Of particular interest is the degree to which we can use the basic Atom and GeoRSS constructs to communicate relationships with Pleiades content, as asserted by the editors of the primary source (i.e., from outside Pleiades). In this case, the example is an inscription from the site of Aphrodisias.
There are some significant limitations (see comments inline, and below sub. "English"). Compare what we can say with RDF: RDFInsAph4-202.

In English
The Atom-native constructs (plus georss) permit the InsAph project to communicate the following to Pleiades (and other Pleiades-aware systems):
There's a resource at http://insaph.kcl.ac.uk/iaph2007/iAph040202.html that:
- is somehow related to http://pleiades.stoa.org/places/638753
- is somehow related to http://pleiades.stoa.org/names/aphrodisias
- is somehow related to the geographic location latitude = 12.34 and longitude = 56.78
- is a primary source edition
