Web of Things
W3C has recently launched the Web of Things Working Group to
develop initial standards for the Web of Things, tasked with the
goal to counter the fragmentation of the IoT; reduce the
costs of development; lessen the risks to both investors
and customers; and encourage exponential growth in the
market for IoT devices and services.

Web Privacy

social network information — and users' activity on the
Web is ubiquitously tracked.

Spatial data on the Web
From simple visualizations to
sophisticated interactive tools, there is a growing
reliance on data. Location information, or spatial data,
is often a common thread running through such data;
describing how things are positioned relative to the
Earth in terms of coordinates and/or topology.
This session is chaired by Kerry Taylor.
