I'm afraid I did not catch that in the roundtable notes in http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikimaps/Requirements. GeoJSON was mentioned in discussions. Another point made was the need for a dedicated GIS database and related hardware.
More essentially I wish to connect people from Wikimedia and Open Historical Map who want to work out the properties for defining places over time.

I believe some open standards were mentioned in the discussions at Wikimania, does someone happen to have some links to these standards? Sounds like a good starting point for me. If we have a well defined standard we like, we can implement it as a data type in Wikibase (the structured data repository behind Wikidata).
