Incorrect altitude in example
The example for altitude
in the vocabulary document is:
{
"@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
"type": "Place",
"name": "Fresno Area",
"altitude": 15.0,
"latitude": 36.75,
"longitude": 119.7667,
"units": "miles"
}
This is confusing, since the highest point on earth, Mt. Everest, has an altitude of about 5mi.
This is probably a copy-and-paste error; the example for Place defines the Fresno area with a radius
of 15 miles.
An accurate altitude would be 94m or 0.06 miles or 308ft. Since feet is the idiomatic measurement of altitude in the USA, that's probably the right one to use.
Please use an international standard. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre_Convention
