SAZ: technical plenary meeting was interesting.
semantic web & schema.org,
... group trying to build schmea for physical accessibility, thus interesting
for the upcoming way finding symposium e.g. IBM, Apple
... Microsoft wants to contribute to the syposium. There is potential interest
from industry
... one of the leaders of the Internet of things from Siemens Germany was very
interested in the accessibility aspects. They are collecting use cases for web
of things. they want to learn about Challenges and opportunities in this area
... We need to focus not only on user interface. Furthermore we need to
address automotive industry. Mapping and visualization of wayfinding should be
addressed in a separate event
RESOLUTION: Accessibility and Way-finding, Navigation and Exploration systems Online
<sharper> Symposium 3 December 2014
Vivienne: way finding symposium: We are working
on dividing the papers on 4 sessions.
... we will follow the way of the last symposium in the way to have a
discussion format rather than a presentation
<annika> First thought about sessions is to have 4 sessions (about half an hour each) 1. user interfaces 2. data gathering 3. data format issues - theoretical papers about ontologies, taxonomies etc. 4. way-finding, annotation and integration in existing systems
Christos: in addition to what Vivienne and Annika
presented, it would be good to prepare an introduction for each paper, then
short time to present the papers.
... most papers ar focused on data gathering and formats, some papers about
user interfaces. We can ask authors about integration
... In the call we had 3 aspects, so we can divide the s one for data
gathering, data gathering accessibility, data format and taxonomies
... we will involve all authors in all sessions. The last half an hour will be
an open discussion attracting the audience to stay. We will prepare the agenda
until next Monday. 2 hours + the half hour at the end
... I am wondering if the total time of the symposium is only 2 hours. We
suggest to add half an hour at the end
SAZ: nor problem to extend the symposium. I do
not recommend to go for three hours.
... We should plan a ten minutes break in between. Experience with this kind
of organisation was good
Christos: I do not know if we will have a 10 minutes break in between or we should go for a 5 minutes break!
SAZ: The break before the open discussion session will allow people who are not any more interested to go. All others will stay. I still suggest a break after one hour
Christos: The good point is to split in two main one hour sessions and a break in between should be fine. After then two hours another break before the open discussion session
SAZ: regarding the duration we have flexibility
there, whatever you need. You can plan the break as you like. I appreciate
organizing by topic rather than by paper. We will follow then the approach as
by other symposia
... please introduce the sessions in a 5 minutes and wrap up at the end as
well in 5 minutes
... I like the prepared agenda, you do not need to give all papers the same
time, you can separate the session upon your prefences
... How does it look like with Wednesday meeting until the symposium?
SH: this is the last day Shadi will be available on Wednesday before the syposiem
Christos: no problem, we will communicate via
e-mail
... you usually provide a channel for people to ask questions / input before
the symposium?
SAZ: yes we will put the e-mail address in the
announcement. Please contact me for any question until then
... on the 03.12.2014 we have to cancel the official RDWG meeting as we will
have the syposium on that day
<shadi> "3 December 2014: Online symposium event, probably 15:00-17:00 UTC"
SH: 15:00 - 18:00 UTC

Annika: will we have an audio recording or just the transcript?
SAZ: not yet! If needed we can do it
SH: if we want to record, we should inform people before
Annika: only for the preparation of the note!
Christos: from the UM symposium it is easier to work with the transcript rather than with audio recording.
SH: it helps if you have the time to listen to
the recordings for better intelligibility
... you can do it on your own computer for personal use.
Christos: we can contact the authors afterwards to ask abouting missing pieces and confusing transcript
SAZ: if you want it, we should add it to the announcement.
Vivienne: just for personal use.
<annika> Agree with Vivienne.
SH: transcript only should be okay. May be adding recording will add additional overhead e.g. at the registration page!
Christos: may be we should try it at the next symposium!
SAZ: Do not try to cover everything in the symposium, we could discuss aspects in the group as structured discussions afterwords.
