Matt: AR Landscape Drafts
07:40:32 [cperey_]
Matt: what Jonathan has put up and the AR vocabulary, to extend the core work, what is the shape of this, get an editor
07:40:34 [jacques]
jacques has joined #poiwg
07:41:37 [cperey_]
Matt: AlexH: do we have room for AR Notes? Yes, Landscape Note is part of what we will do
07:41:41 [cperey_]
Matt: our charter
07:41:46 [matt]
-> http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/charter/ POI Charter
07:42:36 [cperey_]
Matt: first is POI recommendation. Then, the charter says that we will produce two AR Notes. A note is slightly less rigorous thing
07:43:17 [cperey_]
Matt: could be published on our web site. Vocabulary to extend teh core recommendation Might include presentational characteristics... could include anything
07:43:28 [cperey_]
Matt: we have started the Vocabulary at all yet
07:43:37 [cperey_]
Matt: have NOT started yet

cperey: It's not a gap analysis document
07:45:01 [matt]
cperey: This is more of a product feature landscape an inventory of what's in the products today.
07:45:28 [matt]
cperey: I'm looking to codify the standards that describe the different functional blocks that AR uses.
07:45:36 [matt]

scribe: matt
07:47:53 [matt]

07:48:58 [cperey_]
matt: this is just a starting point. we will discuss it
07:49:16 [cperey_]
Ronald: is this group chartered to look at the full range of AR?
07:49:24 [cperey_]
Ronald: or are we going to focs on POI
07:49:35 [cperey_]
Matt: we are broader than just the POI in this area
07:49:53 [cperey_]
bit from the charter... Dan... we should begin the conversations
07:50:09 [cperey_]
Matt: there is distinct possibility that when we get core draft done, we can recharter
07:50:19 [cperey_]
Alex: but I tihnk what Ronald is asking about is the AR note
07:50:23 [matt]
matt has left #poiwg
07:50:30 [danbri]
(so where are we collecting info about geo APIs: e.g. http://www.wikitude.org/en/developers https://simplegeo.com/ http://site.layar.com/create/ https://github.com/sogeo/whatser http://foursquare.com/apps/ http://code.google.com/apis/maps/index.html http://code.google.com/apis/earth/ ...etc etc ...?)
07:50:36 [cperey_]
Alex: my feeling that the AR notes was restricted to what this group is chartered to speak about
07:50:53 [cperey_]
what is the POI we are putting forward and how it applies to AR
07:51:02 [matt_]
danbri, I'd suggest adding them to: http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/wiki/Related_Specifications
07:51:20 [cperey_]
Alex: if it includes talking about 3D, then great, it probably means that talking about Device APIs, we don't need to cover the whole gamut
07:51:47 [cperey_]
Alex: in some sense, a landscape of all existing browser is not a requirement of our discussion, to understand how we go forward
07:52:01 [cperey_]
Alex: it is not necessarily in our charter that we cover all of that depth
07:52:04 [danbri]

07:52:21 [cperey__]
Matt: should we look at list of mobile user agents on browser page
07:52:33 [danbri]
(so if someone e.g. wanted to make a 'how real projects are putting geo-related info in QR Codes, imho that'd be in scope for a separate Note)
07:52:51 [cperey__]
martin: supported platforms could be added to the tables
07:53:00 [cperey__]
Matt: Jonathan how d you want to proceed?
07:53:17 [cperey__]
Jonathan: I'd like to talk about the document
07:53:37 [cperey__]
Jonathan:as mentioned, the landscape is main document, browser document is the details of one area
07:53:52 [cperey__]
Jonathan: I have discussed with many Korean people and community
07:54:08 [cperey]
Jonathan: gathered many criteria so far
07:54:34 [Luca_]
Luca_ has joined #poiwg
07:54:37 [cperey]
Jonathan: first, is the comparison targets. I think we need to make a narrow scope for AR apps
07:54:45 [danbri]
(matt_, ok I've added them to http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/wiki/Related_Specifications )
07:55:02 [cperey]
Jonathan: because too many applications in AR domain. We can make technical specification for our standard. We need to narrow the scope
07:55:42 [cperey]
Jonathan: I have written the features. First the .. second, linking to web services, third is rendering, fourth is...
07:55:57 [cperey]
Jonathan: Collected a list in the document, about 13 products
07:56:48 [cperey]
Jonathan: Christine made some comments. this are on the page
07:57:54 [cperey]
Alex: where do we the line? our browser is not commercially supproted
07:58:28 [cperey]
Alex: it is in teh iTunes store but anyone can make an application. it's penetration is negligible but the features are important because it demonstrates some of what we are talking about
07:58:45 [cperey]
Alex: some applications/user agents don't codify AR, read it...
07:59:06 [cperey]
Thomas: the data standard must look at main commercial ones. because if the standard can't do what they say that they do
07:59:36 [cperey]
Martin: mixare is downloadable, available outside of the laboratory environment
08:00:15 [cperey]
Jonathan: need to consider extensibility
08:00:29 [cperey]
Alex: the list is probably right.
08:00:39 [cperey]
Martin: as soon as something is publically in use
08:01:07 [cperey]
Matt: we stop collecting when we have all the features covered
08:01:11 [cperey]
Alex: Goggles is AR
08:01:17 [cperey]
Recognizes a POI
08:01:26 [cperey]
information about the pOI pops up
08:01:39 [cperey]
Alex: it may have features
08:02:07 [cperey]
Thomas: API for visual recognition engine could be on their roadmap. The feature that they have is one which AR browsers will have
08:02:16 [cperey]
Ronald: Visual Search and AR will merge
08:02:28 [cperey]
Martin: we can't separately Geo and Visual
08:02:46 [cperey]
Alex/Thomas: Nokia Point and Find should be added
08:02:58 [matt_]
ACTION: Jonathan to add Nokia Point and Find: http://pointandfind.nokia.com/main_publisher

08:03:45 [cperey]
Alex: Nokia Point and Find at some point you could download it for a phone
08:04:05 [cperey]
Alex: some features I've seen demoed, are not available to everyone, but worth looking at and considering again
08:04:23 [JonathanJ]
I was referenced a good report from edinbergh univ. - http://mobilegeo.wordpress.com/2010/11/23/comparing-ar-browsers/

q+ to ask about qrcodes
08:04:43 [cperey]
Alex: some of the things that Petros mentioned , aggregating POIs into footprint of buildings
08:04:50 [cperey]
Alex: street view like browsing
08:04:58 [cperey]
Alex: so does StreetView belong on this list
08:05:08 [cperey]
Thomas: and you can use the gyro in your phone to see things

q?
08:05:58 [cperey]
Alex: I want to say that the definition is not tight or exclusive to keep StreetView and Goggles out
08:06:04 [cperey]
Alex: these are close enough to be considered here

08:06:14 [cperey]
Alex: it's remote, browser based, worth considering
08:06:41 [cperey]
Thomas: AR is a potential output method, the same data can be viewed on many different applications, in an AR form if appropriate
08:06:49 [cperey]
Thomas: non-issue what you call AR or not
08:07:01 [cperey]
Alex: and at some point there will be a maturation of this definition
08:07:15 [cperey]
Alex: like VR, lots of things expanded outside the original definition
08:07:30 [danbri]
q?
08:07:31 [matt_]
ack next
08:07:32 [Zakim]
danbri, you wanted to ask about qrcodes
08:07:32 [danbri]
ack danbri
08:07:34 [cperey]
It's a visualization method for POI
08:07:41 [cperey]
Dan: what about QR codes?
08:07:54 [cperey]
Dan: I find AR unconstrained, it's fine, does lots of cool things
08:08:00 [jacques]
jacques has joined #poiwg
08:08:04 [cperey]
Dan: useful for navigation in real time
08:08:14 [cperey]
Dan: QR codes are quite well understood technoogy
08:08:50 [cperey]
I'd like to make a pitch that they are in scope for this group
08:09:02 [cperey]
Dan: I just want one standards thing taht is part of QR code
08:09:04 [matt_]
-> http://www.perey.com/ARStandards/GIST_QRCode_for_AR.pdf GIST QR codes
08:09:17 [cperey]
Thomas: AR should be small enough to act as a direct link to the data
08:09:21 [matt_]
-> http://www.perey.com/ARStandards/[GIST]QR_Code_Data_Representation_for_AR.pdf QR Code Data Representation for AR
08:09:30 [cperey]
Thomas: QR code is very limited in what and how much it can store
08:09:52 [cperey]
Alex: I second what Dan is saying
08:10:19 [danbri]
can we resolve unanimously that this group hopes to make some contribution around the use of QR codes for POIs? (whether documenting existing practice, or suggesting a design...)
08:10:19 [cperey]
Alex: for the notes, for us considering the implications of a POI standard, this use case of seeing a QR code and sanpping it is applicable
08:10:23 [cperey]
Alex: it should be in scope
08:10:36 [cperey]
Martin: looking at the list, these are all mobile applications
08:10:48 [cperey]
Martin: we should also include in scope non-mobile applications
08:11:04 [cperey]
Martin: like Total Immersion things on desktop
08:11:20 [cperey]
Alex: but didn't you (Jonathan) want to restrict it to mobile browsers
08:11:26 [danbri]
re QR code capacity, see my thread last year http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2010Apr/0007.html on lengths of URIs 'in the wild'
08:11:31 [cperey]
Alex: at the same time, you could imagine street view
08:11:46 [cperey]
if you have been excluding it from teh discussion is the wrong thing to do
08:12:08 [cperey]
Thomas: it would be ludicrous if you had to pull down data from one source for desktop and a different place for mobile
08:12:17 [danbri]
oops wrong link. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2010Apr/0003.html 'URI length statistics "in the wild"?'
08:12:20 [cperey]
Thomas: for content providers that would be a show breaker
08:12:43 [cperey]
we want to avoid all the systems that labs have done but at the same time, it is appropriate to include StreetView
08:12:55 [cperey]
Alex: I recommend that it be included in the list
08:13:14 [cperey]
Thomas: if you are dealing with image relative position, there is a great advantage to including them
08:13:31 [cperey]
Thomas: at the end of the day it is a marker and a model (3D model) on the marker
08:13:53 [cperey]
Thomas: a standard way of associating a marker and a 3D model regardless of where it is would be useful
08:13:58 [cperey]
Jonathan: we need more time
08:14:11 [cperey]
Luca: my feeling for AR is that it is something that you put on the real world
08:14:34 [cperey]
for example, StreetView it is not exactly AR. Desktop can be included as long as you use a webcam to put things in teh real world
08:14:57 [JonathanJ]
It is not problem, what product is included or excluded
08:15:01 [cperey]
Luca: for me, for what I include when I think AR, it is display of information on top of the real world. Google Maps is not AR. You do not see the real world
08:15:21 [danbri]
Luca, not everyone can see...
08:15:25 [cperey]
Alex: if you are walking down the street and you take away the background
08:15:38 [cperey]
Jacques: you are switching from AR to mixed reaity
08:15:47 [cperey]
Dan: is AR only for people with good vision
08:16:02 [cperey]
Thomas: geo-located sound is in scope
08:16:24 [cperey]
Alex: he's talking about it is synthesized background. but if you take away the backgrond ad you see the same content, the same rendering engine is doing
08:16:29 [cperey]
Alex: that is Ar
08:16:34 [JonathanJ]
I don't think AR only for people with good vision.
08:16:46 [cperey]
Luca: because we don't have to be on the street for us to have AR experience
08:17:15 [cperey]
Luca; I don't want to say that only geo located can be AR. It can be visual recognition, sensors, printers, etc all of this is included and in scope

Created ISSUE-6 - What AR is our scope ; please complete additional details at http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/track/issues/6/edit .
08:18:07 [cperey]
Alex: overall features.... is there anything on this list that doesn't make sense. I see the idea. Does it have an SDK
08:18:17 [cperey]
Alex: is it using Points of Interest?
08:18:39 [cperey]
Jonathan: I can see that filling out this table is going to get messy. Everyone is going to be full of caveats
08:18:56 [cperey]
Thomas: what user interaection standards should be defined
08:19:03 [cperey]
Thomas: define a click action
08:19:25 [cperey]
Alex: for me the biggest differentiation is Web 1.0 and Web 2.0
08:19:42 [cperey]
Alex: whether you can put your finger on it and stretch the world, manipulate the model
08:19:55 [cperey]
Alex: data representation is an important faeture to add
08:20:10 [cperey]
Alex: I think is of value. We use KML and HTML for Argon
08:20:20 [cperey]
Alex: I don't know what Acrossair does
08:20:51 [cperey]
Martin: Acrossair is closd and proprietary system

08:21:38 [cperey]
Thomas: should the data representation be separate from teh POI? Is that important? Is that relevant to discuss
08:21:49 [cperey]
ALex: for first pass, we list what we know about these things.
08:22:11 [cperey]
filling in the table
08:22:49 [cperey]
Alex: does anyone at this table know anything about Google Goggles data representation
08:23:02 [cperey]

08:25:51 [cperey]
Ronald: you get XML back and you get a URL to which you can go
08:26:10 [cperey]
Alex: is that a POI? Did it return a POI?
08:26:35 [cperey]
Martin: is a POI tied to a location?
08:27:02 [cperey]
Alex: if I'm standing in front of building, and I shoot an image, and I get the name of the building, have I got a POI?
08:27:05 [cperey]
Alex: yes
08:27:29 [cperey]
Thomas: whatever links the real world to the virtual content is POI
08:27:48 [cperey]
Alex: I pick up my phone and I look at the courtyard and I see a Polar bear. it is ar
08:28:16 [cperey]
Alex: nothing is there but a lot of people who argue it is a POI
08:28:25 [cperey]
Alex: sometims these lines are difficult to draw
08:28:45 [cperey]
Alex: we agree that kooaba is returning data and POI
08:29:06 [cperey]
Ronald: It's JSON. No ties to any other standards at this time
08:29:16 [cperey]
Alex: but the JSON is returning POI and data
08:30:01 [cperey]
Alex: maybe because what we need is a column that describs how we are triggering in some sense
08:30:20 [cperey]
Have it in the table
08:31:17 [cperey]
why don't we change user interaction
08:31:34 [cperey]

Alex: I never felt that our responsibility would be to render teh content
09:17:19 [cperey]
Alex: the question is how do we facilitate teh data coming with the POI
09:17:45 [cperey]
Thomas: there is some overlap, may want inline data with teh POI you don't want to link to a remote text file if you want only a two line...
09:17:52 [cperey]
Bertine: maybe a CSS?
09:18:06 [cperey]
Alex: we all have in our minds, ideas of POIs that include lable and description
09:18:22 [cperey]
Alex: you're saying that's so cannonical that we don't want an extra standards for describing that
09:18:33 [cperey]
Alex: does this argue that there should be a place in teh standard to relate that?
09:18:43 [cperey]
Thomas: you wouldn't embed a JPEG in an HTML page
09:19:00 [cperey_]
cperey_ has joined #poiwg
09:19:04 [cperey]
Thomas: same with a model. If you have a short bit of text it makes more sense for it to be in line
09:19:06 [cperey]
Thomas: it has to be related
09:19:26 [cperey]
Thomas: needs to be standard for a simple label annotation. It needs to be in a Standard
09:19:46 [cperey]
Ronald: we have name primitive in our browser
09:19:56 [cperey]
Ronald: style sheet is not directly part of POI Spec
09:20:19 [cperey]
Ronald: you can say that POI Spec has a couple of fields but up to the specific browser to show content of a particular type
09:20:35 [cperey]
Thomas: but does the creator of content want to specify how it is visualized?
09:20:45 [cperey]
Ronald: yes, but not in the POI spec
09:21:10 [cperey]

ThomasL should POI include a class reference
09:21:26 [cperey]
Martin: KML does something like that
09:21:37 [cperey]
Essentially what you have is an XML represetnation of a POI
09:21:55 [cperey]
Martin: do we define a new POI standard. KML defines almost everything we have talked about
09:22:19 [cperey]
Martin: our proposal is to eliminate all of the stuff we do not need in AR
09:22:35 [cperey]
Martin: we pull the KML tags we need and we add AR tags we need
09:22:56 [cperey]
Alex: let's say that the way you describe coordinates, if you disagree with that then you would be leaving the standard
09:23:13 [cperey]
Thomas: simple differences like Lat vs. Latitude
09:23:45 [cperey]
Alex: funny to hear say that. Dan was showing how we could put RDFa into a web page. Lots of angle brackets. Seems a little verbose
09:24:02 [cperey]
Alex: point of view, perspective changes the definition of "verbose"
09:24:54 [cperey]
probably not worth it for us to invent another way to represent

Alex: back to KML, we were talking about representation.... I'm not... not to say it's not the right way to approach it but in our KARML version, we take desription tag
09:28:03 [cperey]
and it is HTML. YOu can have styles. Put some text in and browser would render as a default, but you can add HTML for presentaiton. You could imagine extending , add some SVG instead
09:28:23 [cperey]
Alex: so in that case, now the data is inline with the POI
09:29:04 [cperey]
Alex: the isue is that in some circumstances we want a link to presentation data. so effectively, we get the POI data, it has a link to Web Page, and that's the data we want to present in AR
09:29:24 [cperey]
Alex: yesterday we were looking at the entire web page. bottm line is the minimal set that we want to allow people to inline
09:29:31 [cperey]
Dan: there are part of the HTML ....

alex: How common is content negotiation?
09:30:30 [cperey]
Gzip
09:30:48 [matt_]
matt: Depends on the content types. For instance, most browsers support saying "I accept HTML, and gzipped HTML" -- this is widely deployed.
09:30:54 [cperey]
content negotiaion, if we define a format with its own MIME type, one of its characteristics could be its compressed

09:48:26 [matt__]
danbri: The social issues exist. We'll have to look at them.
09:49:05 [matt__]

09:50:54 [matt__]
Thomas: It's a big issue and so much room for innovation that I think that is where clients will differentiate.
09:51:20 [matt__]
cperey: How do you formulate the query could be standardized, but not how the response is formulated.
09:52:01 [matt__]
cperey: When I heard query POI I was thinking: "Oh, that's talking about a directory of POIs", which isn't the same thing as querying.
09:52:23 [matt__]
cperey: "These are my circumstances, here's a query for that" vs a directory of layers/channels.
09:52:33 [danbri]
(ahill2_, if someone queries for Amsterdam Red Light District, their AR service(s) should route them to http://www.coe.int/t/DG2/TRAFFICKING/COMICS/ )
09:52:37 [danbri]
(but that's a marketplace thing)

Ronald: In the end from our findings, it was quite difficult to get to something that the user really valued.
09:53:23 [matt__]
ahill2_: With them being the authority.
09:53:54 [matt__]
ahill2_: No one on the web has defined how to index content in a standardized way.
09:54:23 [matt__]
cperey: There's SEO. In libraries we used the Dewey decimal system and found that to be useful.
09:54:45 [matt__]
bertine: I think the difference with the library example is that books are static.
09:55:00 [matt__]
Thomas: It could start off fantastic and then get swamped with ads.
09:55:25 [matt__]
Thomas: The order shouldn't be defined, but the request could be, is that right?
09:55:44 [matt__]
Martin: Web pages care about being ordered, but that's all search engine based.
09:55:55 [matt__]
Ronald: There is part of the HTML specification with keyword metadata.
09:56:12 [matt__]
Ronald: That gives content providers a way to find the right information.
09:56:26 [matt__]
ahill2_: Sounds like when possible we could leverage such things.
09:56:32 [matt__]
Thomas: metadata on the Web isn't useful anymore, hard to trust.
09:56:51 [matt__]
Thomas: search engines basically ignore metadata these days.
09:57:06 [matt__]

google do use http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/05/introducing-rich-snippets.html
09:57:14 [matt__]
ahill2_: So how do we standardize around it?
09:57:44 [matt__]
Thomas: There will likely be AR search engines that look into the AR data and figure out if it's being abused.
09:57:49 [danbri]
(you need another signal for trust and quality, eg. google rank, or facebook LIKE, ... then metadata can be exploited)

ahill2_: I think the tone is that AR is going to be visually based. I think people see that as something very different than the kind of AR we have today.
09:59:24 [matt__]
ahill2_: I think the points where these things come together is maybe location and description.
10:00:02 [matt__]
ahill2_: Take the visual sensor example. I'm agnostic about the sensor.
10:00:29 [matt__]
cperey: That whole thing is heavily what the interface that the sensor web folks worked on.
10:00:37 [matt__]
Thomas: That's why I like to call them triggers.
10:00:58 [matt__]
Thomas: I'd argue that the POI has to contain the trigger.
10:01:41 [ahill2]
ahill2 has joined #poiwg
10:02:01 [matt__]
matt: I don't understand why trigger has to be a unique part of the structure?
10:02:18 [matt__]
Ronald: I think we said that the trigger is part of the location primitive, maybe not using that word.
10:02:41 [JonathanJ]
I'd like to suggest to make another document, something like "Requirements and Use Case for Linked POIs" by danbri
10:02:45 [matt__]
ahill2: I could do a search around me and get 100 POIs around me, one of them is this cup. Some people want to call this a trigger, some people like me want to just say "I have the means to know I am in front of this cup".
10:03:02 [matt__]
Thomas: The difference I see is the metadata what you use to search with, while the trigger is an automatic thing.
10:03:23 [matt__]
Thomas: For instance the only ones that are in the field of view are triggered.
10:03:29 [matt__]
danbri: It's not up to the objects to determine that.
10:03:38 [cperey]
http://www.perey.com/ARStandards/MOB_PatternsOfInterest_Proposal.pdf trigger position paper
10:04:42 [matt__]
ahill2: Looking at a web page there's a ton of links. You scroll down and click on any of these things with the mouse. The triggers thing seems to be a way to simplify that, but it's more complicated than that, I could have preferences, etc.
10:05:13 [matt__]
Thomas: I'm thinking it's just more of a passive thing. Something that appears merely by association. A browser may or may not display them. I think there's a clear differentiation between active and passive things.
10:05:13 [cperey]

10:05:26 [matt__]
martinL: I think location then is a trigger as well.
10:05:47 [matt__]
matt: Why isn't any data in the POI a trigger?
10:05:52 [matt__]
Ronald: It sounds like search criteria.
10:06:18 [matt__]
Thomas: While you could search to have something appear automatically, it's not automatic. I search and don't get all of those results popping out all at one time.
10:06:27 [JonathanJ]
POIs could be crawlable by search engine ?
10:06:48 [matt__]
Thomas: With AR there's a lot more automatic than the Web. We can't just have users activating everything manually.
10:07:04 [cperey]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-poiwg/2010Aug/0053.html in the public mailing list
10:07:13 [matt__]
Thomas: I think it's the association of where the content creation believes the data should be put, whether it's image/location/sound based. That's slightly different than what the user wants to see at any given time.
10:07:43 [matt__]
ahill2: Imagine there's a landscape with one item. The author specifies where it is, what it looks like,etc. That's AR, I don't need the word trigger yet to filter that.
10:07:52 [matt__]
ahill2: I need an argument for the word trigger now.
10:08:00 [matt__]
Thomas: I think you need a way to represent the association.
10:08:15 [matt__]
Thomas: A way to associate the data you want and an intended location.
10:08:33 [matt__]
martinL: Alex said filter, I like that, that's essentially what it is.
10:08:38 [matt__]
cperey: no!
10:08:51 [matt__]
ahill2: We're talking about filter at one place, and then this trigger that describes the POI that is there.
10:08:58 [matt__]
bertine: It's trigger like a landmine, not a trigger like a gun.
10:09:17 [matt__]
Thomas: We can call it something else if trigger is confusing.
10:09:22 [matt__]
danbri: I found it confusing on the mailing list.
10:09:30 [matt__]
ahill2: It's a linkage between place and content.
10:09:39 [matt__]
Thomas: I'd say it's part of the linkage.
10:09:47 [matt__]
Thomas: There's two parts: what causes it and what goes to it.
10:09:57 [matt__]
Thomas: The trigger is what causes you to go to it.
10:10:09 [matt__]
danbri: So is it up to the client to recognize the class of thing?
10:10:11 [matt__]
Thomas; Yes.

I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2011/03/30-poiwg-minutes.html JonathanJ
10:11:01 [matt__]
ahill2: Is this linkage a POI that the spec is to connect data (SVG, HTML, COLLADA models) to a context of the user. That is our charge.
10:11:12 [matt__]
ahill2: Then when you talk about seeing a pen and using a trigger, it makes it confusing.
10:11:23 [matt__]
ahill2: A lot of people think "I see this and something is going to happen" -- that's a somewhat different subject.
10:11:28 [danbri]
'trigger' for me has a strong imperative reading, ... that the 'triggering' is inevitable
10:11:30 [matt__]
Thomas: The POI is a link between real and virtual.
10:11:58 [matt__]
Thomas: I was using trigger or whatever the word is to indicate the category of the sensor that you're correlating to.
10:12:26 [matt__]
ahill2: So, there is a unique item, if I got a description of how to recognize it visually, I could dereference that eventually to the exact location on this table and then it's just like a movie theater, or whatever.
10:12:40 [matt__]
ahill2: So it's the same, but a different matter of how we get there.
10:13:06 [matt_]
matt_ has joined #poiwg
10:13:08 [matt_]
ahill2: Then there's the example of "every pen that looks like this" -- which is a reasonable use case, but to me it's more of a pattern than a trigger to me.
10:13:09 [JonathanJ]
POI trigger is like this ? - http://www.azouk.com/218107/Context-information-as-enhancement-for-mobile-solutions-and/
10:14:04 [matt_]
ahill2: Now, say every building from a company sets aside an area for AR, and that's a pattern. Buses could have a sign on the side --
10:14:13 [matt_]
Thomas: How do you find it if the data isn't there in the POI?
10:14:35 [matt_]
ahill2: I know I'm in a store, I look at my coordinates, dereference and I'm done.
10:15:01 [matt_]
Thomas: But that store is static. This is ludicrous, then the bus must relay it's coordinates to a server then the client has to fetch it.
10:15:16 [matt_]
Thomas: I have nothing against publishing moving coordinates.
10:15:30 [matt_]
Thomas: I also think that POIs should be able to specify relative coordinates. I just don't think you can limit it to just the coordinate space.
10:16:09 [matt_]
ahill2: This just isn't unique to the domain of visual recognition. I think we will use visual recognition, I'm just saying that visual triggering can happen the same way by other means
10:16:17 [matt_]
ahill2: I'm more inclined to push it towards a special case in some sense.
10:16:40 [matt_]
Thomas: To me we need both. The most basic visual recognition is QR codes. That's literally just an image that is then decoded to a URL.
10:16:47 [matt_]
ahill2: But that's not a trigger, that's just a linkage.
10:16:56 [cperey_]
cperey_ has joined #poiwg
10:17:02 [matt_]
Thomas: We're associating an image with data, that's just as useful as associating coordinates, whether static or moving.
10:17:08 [matt_]
Thomas: The POI needs the capacity for both.
10:17:20 [matt_]
ahill2: We need both, but they're not different enough in my mind that they can't be handled.
10:17:34 [matt_]
Thomas: I'm just saying a field in the POI that has coordinates or an image.
10:17:54 [matt_]
ahill2: This is what Ronald was alluding to, that a location could have a visual description of pen.
10:18:02 [matt_]
Ronald: And it can be a combination of geo and visual too.
10:18:17 [matt_]
cperey: How it's stored is part of the POI, but not what is in there.
10:18:26 [matt_]
Ronald: Sure, the algorithms will change, etc.
10:18:43 [matt_]
cperey: The device which detects those conditions on behalf of a user, whether mobile or stationary, is using sensors.
10:19:03 [Luca_]
Luca_ has joined #poiwg
10:20:03 [matt_]
ahill2: Something like identifying a particular pen could have a number of criteria, so how do you author it. My sensor is going to be picking up that pen all over, but it's not necessarily going to be triggered.
10:20:26 [matt_]
Thomas: The system would have the image criteria already in it's memory.
10:21:00 [matt_]
cperey: You're never looking at the real object, you're just encoding those unique features that identify that class of object. Only those features, so you have an extremely fine sample, you're not walking around sending entire photographs of the pen around to be detected.
10:21:16 [matt_]
Ronald: Most of the time you're sending an image from the mobile to a server.
10:21:34 [matt_]
Thomas: There can be client side recognition.
10:21:51 [matt_]
cperey: But the point is the server side would probably just maintain the extracted features for recognition.

10:24:22 [matt_]
cperey: We've been here before, and we've had people with agendas from geo-physical data that they want to solve.
10:24:34 [matt_]

10:24:38 [matt_]
matt: That's not what I saw at the last f2f.
10:24:56 [matt_]
cperey: In the next few minutes, the composition of the people in the group has shifted a bit. And it can shift back.
10:25:29 [matt_]
ahill2: This is the part of the meeting where we are addressing AR stuff. We are talking about what are the implications? How does the POI stuff relate to AR?
10:25:41 [matt_]
cperey: This is entirely in scope as the subject of long/lat.
10:25:57 [matt_]
cperey: And the traditional problems of those who own large POI databases?
10:26:14 [matt_]
ahill2: Our existing spec solves that. It allows the POI database folks to add WGS 84 coord and a name/description/ec.
10:26:34 [matt_]
ahill2: Our existing spec also allows for a pen POI with a visual description and an unknown location.
10:27:09 [danbri]
(this is a good time to have people make commitments to do things, and to record those in the issue tracker. I'd be happy to take an action to summarise what I could find out about encoding of URIs in QR Codes, for example)
10:27:12 [matt_]
ahill2: In my mind I've got a search that includes "pen's that belong to Layar" -- I have those POIs, but I may not be displaying them. To me that's not any different than a POI that's on a building over there that's occluded by a building over there.
10:27:43 [matt_]
ahill2: I don't see it as any different than things popping in there.
10:27:57 [matt_]
Thomas: 99% of the time they'll be preloaded, there is a lot of precaching and displaying later.
10:28:25 [matt_]
ahill2: You're interests, your context at the moment, those things all determine context that determine which POIs are in my browser currently.
10:28:58 [matt_]
danbri: If this room has a POI, there's a URI to it.
10:29:05 [matt_]
Thomas: QR code could be the link.

ACTION: danbri to summarize URIs in QR codes to POIWG group
10:29:36 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-41 - Summarize URIs in QR codes to POIWG group [on Dan Brickley - due 2011-04-06].
10:29:51 [matt_]
ahill2: In my mind our spec at the moment could work for a QR code with linkage to some data.
10:30:16 [matt_]
ahill2: I could imagine a QR code being the equivalent of a pen being recognized.
10:30:34 [matt_]
Thomas: There's also the case where the QR code could contain the POI itself, QR codes don't have to be links.
10:30:35 [ahill2]
ahill2 has joined #poiwg
10:31:23 [matt_]
ahill2: Practically what is happening? I see a QR code, it's got a URL, I get back a POI. It needs to be linked to something physical, maybe it's a marker to track, or the QR code itself, or four inches from the phone. That's the POI, the QR code is a specific means to encode the URL and there's a separation there.
10:31:50 [matt_]
Thomas: I am seeing a scenario where the QR code decodes to a link which has a POI which then may link to the 3D model.
10:32:06 [matt_]
Thomas: But the QR code could be just the POI itself and go directly to the 3D model.
10:32:29 [JonathanJ]
QR code can encode in other many information bytes.
10:32:34 [matt_]
ahill2: I see that you want to be pragmatic about the links followed etc, but I'm not sure that's what we need to accomodate in our charge.
10:32:43 [matt_]
Thomas: Perhaps not specifically, but it would be nice.
10:33:01 [matt_]
Thomas: We're talking a minimal spec and lots of optionals. Maybe the small thing could be in a QR code.
10:33:39 [matt_]
ahill2: In our lab we worked with markers for ever, and now they're totally out. We recognize full-on images, which doesn't have any data encoded in those images. I could imagine that some day if we did push for QR codes that people would laugh at us in the future.
10:34:01 [matt_]
Thomas: I see advantages to not having the data require a separate lookup.
10:34:11 [matt_]
ahill2: I think no one here wants to create a byzantine set of links.
10:35:40 [matt_]
ahill2: We've had a lot of discussion but no consensus.
10:36:13 [JonathanJ]
we need raise issues
10:36:16 [matt_]
ahill2: I think we can resolve that our POI standard that we've put forward accommodates many different scenarios.
10:36:48 [matt_]
ahill2: Whether it handles triggers, image recognition, etc. I've resolved in my mind that we haven't excluded any of those things. We haven't excluded any representations too, like COLLADA models, or HTML.
10:37:14 [matt_]
ahill2: I think that's valuable, as someone always pipes up on something like this and then we have the discussion again. I don't think we should have to do this conversation again.
10:37:23 [danbri]
do we agree? "...that there are lots of ways of identifying relevant POI descriptions, including GPS, QR Codes, image recognition (of specific things, of types of thing, of places, people, RFIDs.

Thomas: It's a fair point that we don't want to go into the logic too much.

Thomas: If you make a web page you don't have to code the functionality of a link. Metaphorically we're working on the equivalent of that, right?

10:41:18 [matt_]

10:41:36 [matt_]
cperey: Because the OMA folks said specifically say they're considering doing an AR data format.

10:42:39 [JonathanJ]
"AR data format" can include anything
10:42:47 [matt__]
ahill2: I'd be hesitant to say it's an "AR data format".
10:42:57 [matt__]
Ronald: There's a reason there's a Core data format.
10:43:18 [matt__]

11:47:58 [cperey]
POI must--> can have a time primitive
11:48:11 [cperey]
Alex: could be time when business is opened and closed
11:48:24 [cperey]
Alex: that is relegated to metadata, not the primary function of POI
11:48:37 [cperey]
Alex: time when this POI was created. This falls in provenance
11:49:00 [cperey]
Alex: time that this thing came into existence.
11:49:15 [cperey]
Alex: it's not obvious that every POI needs to come into existence and left
11:50:13 [cperey]
Thomas: if you say that something exists in this range of time, you are saying that we will move the user forward and backward in time

Time Span has a beginning and an end

ALex: that's about the extent that we need to define
11:51:22 [cperey]
Thomas: suggestion that we have one more, ideally, time stamp of the last time the data was updated.
11:51:36 [cperey]
Thomas: it is useful for the client to know if they need to download it again or not
11:51:39 [cperey]
Expiration date
11:51:48 [cperey]
Thomas: it is a form of time which is userful
11:51:52 [cperey]
MOdification time
11:52:07 [cperey]
Ronald: might be better to put this in the metadata primitive
11:52:12 [matt__]
[[what about recurring time sets? (e.g. open hours) or relative times? (a store has open hours relative to the hours of the mall it is in)]]
11:52:25 [cperey]
Alex: this is where the conversation has gotten baroque
11:52:33 [cperey]
lots of attributes you might want to stamp
11:52:41 [cperey]
Alex: le'ts say some linked data has a date stamp
11:53:09 [cperey]
THomas: technical level it is only necessity to have this type of time stamp in the linked data
11:53:19 [cperey]
Alex: how many links are we limiting a POI to?
11:53:40 [cperey]
Thomas: thinking it was One
11:53:40 [cperey]
THomas: if it is more than one, it could be a time stamp per linked data
11:54:02 [cperey]
Alex: we ask for header, pull out o fheader, say no I don't want the data. Ct short the request, inspect the header
11:54:16 [cperey]
Thomas: COLLADA, X3D don't have those types of headers, may be wrong on that
11:54:31 [cperey]
Alex: is that our scope? to provide mechanism for lInk data to provide an expiration data
11:55:03 [cperey]
Ronald: don't think so. I'm not sure it is valualbe. Adds too much complexity. In Layar we have.... to all the links (do they all need modificaiton time stamp)
11:55:10 [cperey]
in our concept they are all linked to the same POI
11:55:40 [cperey]
Thomas: i don't want clients to constantly update/download big files to see if it has been updated recently or not
11:55:49 [cperey]
Matt: HTML has this distinction
11:55:55 [cperey]
Matt: it gets messy
11:55:58 [fons]
s/valualbe/valuable
11:56:08 [cperey]
We need a data modification
11:56:24 [fons]
s/modificaiton/modification
11:56:26 [cperey]
Ronald: in Layar definition, we have a single modificaation time and that it applies to all the data
11:56:51 [cperey]
Alex: concerned that utility might be limited. People might over-ride it. Head did not really capture what we wanted

rrsagent, draft minutes
11:57:18 [RRSAgent]
I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2011/03/30-poiwg-minutes.html JonathanJ
11:57:19 [cperey]
Thomas: adamant that either it is possible to do this without time stamp, if it can't be done, it has to be there
11:57:29 [cperey]
Thomas: if not possible to do in header, it HAS to be in POI
11:57:38 [cperey]
this could cause huge problems down the road.
11:58:04 [cperey]
Alex: that's a good argument for time modification time stamp, time span, time of applicability, could have a beginning and end
11:58:38 [cperey]
Matt: when this is being served over HTTP, these headers.... and any other transport mechanism must similarly
11:58:51 [danbri]
(ok i've requested a poiwg repo for testcases etc to be added at http://dvcs.w3.org/hg ... time to read the Mercurial manual...)
11:59:39 [cperey]
Alex: if other POI query other links, they want to be able to send a time stamp to you to relect how recently the underlying digital object has been updated
11:59:48 [matt__]
matt: Basically, I think we should say "if you are transporting POIs over HTTP, you should be setting these X,Y, Z headers with the appropriate values. Other transport mechanisms should likewise provide such information."
12:00:10 [cperey]
If I got a POI and it indiciated that something has been changed, then it is my responsibility to go through and check each and to identify which elements have been updated
12:00:41 [cperey]
Alex: save the consumers of this data having to go through the subsegments and check this "manually"
12:00:52 [cperey]
Jacques: this is a basic feature of collaborative AR
12:01:02 [cperey]
Alex: can you please expand or give an example?
12:01:29 [cperey]
Jacques: for exmple, for guidance application, someoene is outside, blind person, and you are looking in VR on a map, and you want to change some audio POI
12:01:42 [cperey]
Jacques: so you need to know when the audio POI can be changed
12:01:55 [cperey]
Alex: there's just me
12:02:20 [cperey]
Jacques: the expert is remote
12:02:25 [cperey]
the person in teh field
12:02:40 [cperey]
Jacqes: you can change the content of a POI
12:03:11 [cperey]
Alex: there's a POI, and we want a way to indicate that the user (remote person changed the POI) that the content has changed
12:03:21 [cperey]
the browser needs to know that the content has changed
12:03:31 [cperey]
Alex: the POI has changed, how does the browser find out about it?
12:03:42 [cperey]
Thomas: this is a pull or push thing. This is web page expiration.
12:03:57 [cperey]
Thomas: if you are using a different protocol, it is not for us to decide which protocol i sused.
12:04:06 [JonathanJ]
I think it seems like POI trigger, or POI pushing
12:04:15 [cperey]
Thomas: any additional downloads are the result, not the ....
12:04:27 [cperey]
the information about the delivery of the POI goes OUTSIDE of the POI itself
12:04:39 [cperey]
It's in the envelope
12:05:03 [cperey]
Thomas: if can is virtual. and the person decides to move it. Change the POI location. It would not change the mesh of the can.
12:05:24 [cperey]
So therefore the client would not be redownloading it, it would download the POI data but not the attached model
12:05:34 [cperey]
Ronald: we are talking aout the modificaiton time
12:05:54 [cperey]
Alex: we have the POI. The model has changed teh same. Location has been updated. Does the POI modification time change?
12:06:11 [cperey]
Alex: the POI is in the local agent. Either I need to poll it or it needs to be pushed to me
12:06:15 [cperey]
Which?
12:06:31 [cperey]
Thomas: you don't need to transmit the update time
12:06:49 [cperey]
Thomas: just needs to communicate that the .... has been updated
12:07:22 [cperey]
Alex: look at a POI and knowing when it was updated sounds fine, but...
12:07:40 [cperey]
The header may be a way to do this.
12:07:49 [cperey]
the client may need to check to make sure if it has been updated

+1 for alex
12:09:58 [cperey]
Thomas: if it can't be done in the header, there's not another solution than to have it in the POI recommendation
12:10:10 [cperey]
Alex: reluctant to shoe horn this into the POI spec
12:10:22 [cperey]
Ronald: do we really want to have changeable mesh models
12:10:45 [cperey]
Thomas: most of these things will be fairly static. Meshes will probably be the same
12:11:10 [cperey]
Thomas: update time stamp is a simple solution
12:11:34 [cperey]
Alex: the problem is that it is a Macro, it is global to th POI, but not specific to what part of it changed, so it doesn't really solve the problem
12:11:43 [cperey]
Thomas; you need one orientation per link
12:11:51 [cperey]
Alex: no, I argue that you don't need that
12:12:20 [cperey]
Alex: if there are multiple link, and oriented differently, but the base the frame of reference from which they are, that's what a single orientation accomplishes
12:12:32 [cperey]
Alex: it sets down a frame of reference. It's not the billboarding
12:12:51 [cperey]
Alex: it is that a single point in space... arbirtarily given is not adequate
12:12:54 [Luca]
etag or any metatagit's better to understand i something has changed insted of timestamp that can't be unique for all the client
12:13:22 [cperey]
Alex: a discussion about time for POI, needs to be very specific. What is it about POI that need time?

Alex: what is inherent to POI?
12:13:45 [Luca]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_ETag
12:13:54 [cperey]
ALex: a time that this POI applies, whatever that means, that time period is really the need for the POI
12:14:07 [cperey]
In agreement that we should at least have that one
12:15:08 [cperey]
Alex: this is where have to decide what we do now. Do we hunt around for time specs?
12:15:21 [cperey]
Thomas: time span.... what time zone is it specified in?

that's a reasonable place to go
12:17:23 [cperey]
Alex: do they have/ does this spec have a beginning and end

12:23:51 [matt_]
danbri: What else might you want to know? Health inspections? Kosher?
12:23:57 [matt_]
ahill2: Yes, sure, let's throw it into our examples.
12:24:08 [matt_]
Thomas: 2. A historical church that used to exist and is now destroyed.
12:24:57 [matt_]
ahill2: 3. A congregation that was at a church for a period of time. The physical building may have it's own POI, but the type of church might only be there for a period of time.
12:25:18 [matt_]
danbri: Maybe people are exploring their roots.
12:25:25 [danbri]
rrsagent, pointer?
12:25:25 [RRSAgent]
See http://www.w3.org/2011/03/30-poiwg-irc#T12-25-25
12:25:33 [matt_]
cperey: Maybe a timestamp around when a member of the congregation can be trusted or not.
12:25:43 [matt_]
Thomas: This might be linked data from the POI to the person, rather than inline.
12:25:47 [matt_]
ahill2: Agree on that.
12:26:10 [matt_]
ahill2: Is a person a POI? It's really hard for me to make a good argument that people are not points of interest.
12:26:31 [matt_]
Ronald: If that cup of coffee is a POI and I'm not, I'll be offended!
12:26:35 [matt_]
[[general agreement]]
12:27:11 [matt_]
cperey: The congregant, the congregation and the space in which they all may be are all distinct.
12:27:42 [matt_]
ahill2: In the last f2f the major concern about these things were that if we do this we'll have to describes everything and anything.
12:29:19 [matt_]
martinL: 4. Football stadium that is open on Mondays and sometimes Wednesdays.
12:29:31 [matt_]
Thomas: I think at some level of complexity it becomes a manual process.
12:29:33 [danbri]
for recurring events, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar#Events_.28VEVENT.29
12:29:57 [matt_]
martinL: I wouldn't say we want to get too complex, but we then need to have multiple time elements.
12:30:06 [matt_]
Ronald: If we can multiple POI times then we're there.
12:30:37 [matt_]
cperey: What about a church that adds wings?
12:30:43 [matt_]
Thomas: I'd argue that's a different POI.
12:30:54 [matt_]
martinL: I think it should be one of the examples, you might have one POI with a time slider.
12:31:47 [matt_]
ahill2: If I am driving down the street, I see the church, not the sub POIs, the altar, toilet, etc. I'm interested in the church, now and I'm sliding through time and these things become obvious and apparent.

12:32:30 [matt_]
Thomas: The specs for times seem pretty good.
12:32:35 [matt_]
ahill2: We don't have the spec for it yet from us.
12:33:54 [matt_]
Ronald: If we're talking about existence then a single time span is sufficient. The other use cases where it's opening hours and things that change, then that's different.
12:34:00 [matt_]
cperey: Should it be in the spec?
12:34:41 [matt_]
ahill2: In practical use for these things a time span is something you can include then if you don't include it it's right now and permanent.
12:34:57 [matt_]
ahill2: If you have one time span, then you could imagine that being a situation where you could see two of them.
12:35:13 [matt_]
ahill2: If two time spans get delivered with a POI, there's just two time spans, what would it break? There's not a parent/child relationship.
12:35:21 [matt_]
Thomas: So you'd treat them as an or relationship?
12:35:52 [matt_]
ahill2: Talk of "will that hot dog stand be there?" is really about future things and not real time.
12:36:10 [matt_]
Thomas: Do we have a proposed format.

s/format./format?/
12:36:33 [matt_]
ahill2: I think we can look at what's here and figure it out.
12:36:41 [matt_]
cperey: And then apply it to the use cases.
12:37:07 [matt_]
ahill2: We're going to have a POI time, we've got a fundamental unit of time. It doesn't describe a duration.
12:37:18 [matt_]

12:41:52 [matt__]
ahill2: KML breaks some of these apart too. Not necessarily embedded.
12:42:16 [matt__]
Thomas: Merely having a date span then you have the possibility of history through multiple POIs. Assign them to different dates with same location.
12:42:46 [matt__]
ahill2: You can use a POI to do that, or not. Or you could have metadata to do it in one POI. You don't have to use it either way.

ahill2: If I remodel my house, it's still my house. Some people are not going to like the idea that it's a different POI.
12:45:23 [matt__]
ahill2: If POIs have URIs, then people are going to want to have a stable URI to describe the building.
12:45:31 [matt__]
ahill2: Your proposed solution does not solve everything.
12:45:50 [matt__]
Thomas: Yours would have multiple time stamps that seems more complex than new POIs.
12:46:37 [matt__]
matt: I think there are use cases for both. If you want a historical slider, you include multiple time stamps, and if you want a canonical representation of the house now, then you don't put in multiple timestamps.
12:47:03 [matt__]
ahill2: Thomas you're also assuming that the model has to be tied to the POI. There could be a separation, could be from a different database, different metadata.
12:47:07 [matt__]
Thomas: They'd be different POIs then.
12:47:12 [matt__]
ahill2: I think this is semantics.

12:48:34 [danbri]

ahill2: There was some convention for mutation of points.
12:49:04 [matt__]
martinL: Essentially we're talking about the visualization changes over time.
12:49:12 [matt__]
martinL: We have the data and the visualizations are different.
12:49:35 [matt__]
Thomas: No. I see this as the same as CSS and HTML. DIfferent things sent to different clients based on specs or whatever criteria.
12:49:48 [matt__]
Thomas: If you've got data associated with it, that too is a piece of data.
12:50:22 [matt__]
Thomas: My instinct is different POIs with different time spans.
12:50:41 [matt__]
ahill2: The spec will let both work.
12:50:57 [matt__]
Thomas: Then you have to be prepared to spec out multiple timespans. Is that ok?
12:50:58 [matt__]
ahill2: Yes.
12:51:07 [matt__]
Ronald: Didn't we agree that the history is outside of the spec?
12:51:17 [matt__]
ahill2: Yes, but we're using different history means here.
12:52:59 [matt__]
matt: We've been talking about these primitives as a building block that can be used in different ways.

13:55:31 [matt_]
Topic: Category Primitive
13:55:35 [Ronald]
christine: we talked about categories before, and the general thinking was
13:56:02 [Ronald]
cperey: IETF and ? have done a lot of work on documenting not just places of interest
13:56:12 [Ronald]
cperey: they have their own structure for categories
13:56:35 [Ronald]
cperey: governments and international bodies have their own category systems, hierarchical systems, beautiful systems
13:56:41 [ahill2]
http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/geopriv/charter/
13:56:52 [Ronald]
cperey: it is unlikely that we as an organization pick one system
13:57:03 [Ronald]

cperey: there are experts out there, but not at our table. Henning has not replied and does not seem interested
13:57:42 [Ronald]
thomas: is category going to be a required field

ahill: no
13:57:59 [Ronald]
ahill: it is not required, but in most cases it is valueable
13:58:08 [matt_]
PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Category primitive is NOT required
13:58:28 [Ronald]
ahill: I can imagine a character string "category", but it is not going to solve the problem. For example we might need to support multiple categories
13:58:46 [Ronald]
ahill: we might need to make our own category, and people can choose to ignore
13:58:59 [Ronald]
cperey: but it is better to reuse existing category systems
13:59:07 [Ronald]
thomas: it could just be a link
13:59:10 [Ronald]
cperey: exactly
13:59:33 [Ronald]
thomas: a POI needs to be able to have multiple categories and these categories should be URIs
14:00:06 [matt_]
PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Category primitive is NOT required. Category can be identified by a URI. POIs can have more than one category.
14:00:30 [Ronald]
cperey: if we just specify it this way, we don't need to invite an expert to come talk to us... it is an implementation detail

martinL: I suggest we break up location via geospatial from other means of location
14:56:52 [matt_]
cperey: I believe his proposal is to ask if there's a benefit to drawing a distinction between geospatially fixed locations and others.
14:56:59 [matt_]
Ronald: I think it will help clarify the specification.
14:57:10 [matt_]
Ronald: The "location primitive can be there but it can be anything" is kind of hard to understand.
14:57:34 [matt_]
ahill2: We had discussion of expiration times and timestamps, etc. Isn't there some sort of implication that when people just get coordinates it's not changing?
14:57:39 [matt_]
Thomas: No, they can be relative coordinates.
14:58:31 [matt_]
Ronald: I agree on the dynamic vs fixed location. If it's lat/lng relative to earth that's one thing then there's non geo relative things.
14:58:43 [matt_]
martinL: A split between the fixed and the visual AR. Say it is separate.
14:59:02 [matt_]
martinL: You get the geo POI, it has a location, it can change, it has a location that people understand.
14:59:12 [matt_]
martinL: Detecting that a pen isn't really a location per se.
14:59:50 [matt_]
ahill2: The way we've been discussing it so far is that the description of how to find it is "location", which could be relative to WGS84 or some other set of location attributes.
15:00:18 [matt_]
cperey: Fixed and dynamic works pretty well.
15:00:27 [matt_]
Ronald: Both geospatial and not are fixed and dynamic.
15:00:38 [matt_]
Ronald: You can have a fixed building that can also be recognized by image.
15:00:59 [matt_]
Ronald: Could be two buildings that look the same and they are different POIs because of location.
15:01:18 [matt_]
bertine: What's the benefit of specifying fixed AND non-fixed locations?
15:02:03 [matt__]
matt__ has joined #poiwg
15:02:08 [matt__]
ahill2: If I have an image based way of recognizing a building, say I have coordinates, then my label appears over the building. But a visual recognition might be more accurate. Both inputs are helping us place the content, but are not necessarily separate POIs
15:02:39 [matt__]
Ronald: We need to find a way to clarify this so that not everyone who comes to this gets overwhelmed.
15:03:02 [matt__]
Ronald: Might it be better to have Location renamed as Anchor primitive?

15:04:47 [matt__]
Thomas: Could we have a field that specifies what it's relative to?
15:04:56 [matt__]
ahill2: I think we agree on that, how it's going to come in is TBD.
15:05:22 [matt__]
bertine: What is the benefit of distinguishing between fixed and non-fixed locations.
15:05:38 [matt__]
ahill2: I need to be convinced of this.
15:05:46 [matt__]
Thomas: I think this is vaguely related to the update stuff.
15:06:16 [matt__]
cperey: If you know it's fixed geospatial, you are still searching a large database, but not everything on the planet.
15:06:30 [matt__]
bertine: But saying it's a blue object also narrows it down. Or a category.
15:06:46 [matt__]

15:10:17 [matt__]

15:10:31 [matt__]
ahill2: We'd be making an assumption that there would be a listing or a display of text.

ahill2: Last time we went down this people started suggesting we develop a string primitive.
15:26:10 [matt__]
ahill2: What is best practice for the following: some XML that is a character string, but I want to say what language and character set that thing is in?
15:26:18 [matt__]
danbri: The whole document is in one character set.
15:26:33 [matt__]
danbri: Each document is in only one character encoding.
15:26:57 [matt__]
danbri: Then XML lang has a controlled set of values, e.g. it's romanized Arabic.
15:27:08 [matt__]
matt: And that xml:lang can appear on any particular element in the document.
15:27:47 [matt__]
Thomas: There could be a single POI that is sent to a client and if it's just that one POI being sent then you probably want the character set to be specified if it's not the default.
15:28:16 [matt__]
danbri: If you've got a database, you've probably sanitized it to some charset. If someone comes along requesting another charset, then it depends on the protocol.
15:28:33 [matt__]
Thomas: If a description is written in a specific character set then the client should know that.
15:29:02 [matt__]
danbri: What charset to expect might be needed, but not what it originally was expressed in.
15:29:28 [matt__]
ahill2: The concern was that there are different names and these databases in the world will have a bunch of names. How does a POI send that across?
15:29:43 [matt__]
ahill2: Those database folks have to store them. The point is, is there a value in sending across multiple names?
15:30:00 [matt__]
ahill2: Do I have all the POIs on my device? Or is that a search problem?

15:33:33 [matt_]

15:37:11 [matt_]
Thomas: Is the description the same as something that appears in visual annotation? or are they two separate fields?
15:37:23 [matt_]

15:37:26 [matt_]
Thomas: Then there is nothing.
15:37:50 [matt_]
ahill2_: There's a POI there, that is just a location?
15:38:07 [matt_]
danbri: If we're talking about say two rooms that are identical, but one has a QR code thats sufficie --
15:38:37 [matt_]
ahill2_: I think we're going the wrong way there. If you have a POI and the name, description, etc are optional and there's nothing but a location there what happens?
15:38:42 [matt_]
ahill2_: This happens quite a lot actually.
15:38:53 [matt_]
danbri: It could be a breadcrumb from something else.
15:39:07 [matt_]
ahill2_: This is the center of the room, and the rest of my augmentation is relative to that.
15:39:39 [matt_]
ahill2_: It's establishing a location -- sure it could be argued that it's not a "point of interest", but we'll get into that tomorrow.
15:39:49 [matt_]
Thomas: We could say it requires either a location or ID.
15:40:34 [matt_]
matt: Couldn't the ID be the URI that when dereferenced is the POI?
15:40:38 [matt_]
Thomas: Assuming there's only one.
15:40:55 [matt_]
bertine: There's an invisible object with a set of coordinates and within that there are relative coordinates, then you don't need an ID.
15:41:11 [matt_]

ahill2_: We're talking about frames of reference here.
15:46:31 [matt_]
Thomas: My feeling is that it shouldn't be hierarchy based.

Thomas: If it is relative it shouldn't have to be in a hierarchy form to do that.
15:46:54 [matt_]
ahill2_: Yes, shouldn't be required for it to be hierarchical.
15:47:12 [matt_]
bertine: The only reason we brought it up was whether all things have an ID?
15:47:23 [matt_]
bertine: Do you have a hierarchical relationship or an ID for the POI?
