Perhaps if we listed the resource's right ascension and declination if it is
a non-terrestrial resource?
How many martian resources are we expecting?

This draft describes a simple method for tagging documents according to
geographic position, which may then be used in resource discovery for
indexing, and subsequently for simple a geographic search.
