Linda: I wanted to first do a
debrief from TPAC, attended a few sessions, from Geospatial
perspective
... Web of Things session was interested, new work on discovery
and profiles, use cases
... they want to collaborate with us and agreed we should do
some follow up and coordination. they have clear need on
geospatial standards
<brinkwoman> https://github.com/w3c/wot/issues/939
Linda: we will have a joint
meeting sometime soon. they prefer github issues to mailing
lists
... I'll be in touch with them on when we can have this
meeting. they would like to do this sometime this year
... another interesting breakout session was about SmartCities.
quite a few people from Asia there
... they have formed a new Interest Group and also want to
coordinate, encouraged them to connect with OGC as well
<brinkwoman> group-smart-city-stakeholders@w3.org
Linda: they will be having a
workshop soon and asked me to be on their program committee but
perhaps we can find a candidate with more SmartCities
background
... if anyone is interested please let me know, I will reach
out within OGC as well
... another interesting breakout session was Maps4HTML. they
had some interesting takeaways, in particular around
accessibility
... I see Peter is here and can tell us more
Peter: we held that session to
present summary of the workshop we held
... we had a number of position statements, papers and
presentations on current state of maps on the web. panel on
government data providers...
... a sizeable amount of the workshop was focused on digital
and physical world accessibility, some with Augmented Reality
slant
... of course I presented on the proposal from the Maps4HTML
Community Group, Amelia on our use cases
[iteration on other presentation/session see also https://www.w3.org/2020/maps/agenda]
Peter: there were conflicting
opinions on standardizing within browsers, some feel HTML, CSS,
SVG and JavaScript suffice while others do want better
standards
... we went into the MapML proposal, Boucoup's
analysis...
... government data providers were proponents of improving
mapping on the web via standards
... variety of presentations on accessibility (a11y) including
indoor maps
<brinkwoman> https://maps4html.org/Maps4HTML-Workshop-2020/agenda
Peter: please see the agenda
which has links to all the slides, position papers and
recordings
... we need ways to represent features or points of interest
plus way to standardize indoor maps for navigation
Linda: about map accessibility
take aways, that may be an area this group can provide
guidance
... do you feel the Accessibility community would be willing to
collaborate with SDW group?
Peter: I do
<RobSmith> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdwig/2020Nov/0009.html
Rob: I wrote a summary of this
session and sent to the mailing list
... there was broad agreement on attributes for APIs for moving
objects
... distance, heading, speed and description...
... we also discussed indoor mapping, privacy
... informed people of the Responsible Use effort of ours
... I added conclusions to github issue
<eparsons_> https://www.w3.org/2020/10/TPAC/breakout-schedule.html#ResGeo
Ed: suspect a few people on this
call were also this session
... we had a number of new voices including someone from Apple
on their practices
... we intend to reach out to some of the people to encourage
their contribution to our document
... nothing radical came out but we are still looking for
feedback
... we want input from COVID related data measures in
place
... we hope to have a better first cut of the document in a
week or so for review
https://w3c.github.io/sdw/responsible-use/
Ed: this will just be a starting
point as we expect it will prompt further dicussions
... not sure yet what type of document this will be yet (Best
Practices, Guidelines, Note)
Linda: as to type of document, depends on what we want
Ed: not a normative document, my guess would be Note or Best Practice
Linda: you could publish as a Note as you say, have series of draft iterations as we did with Spatial Data on the Web Best Practices
Ed: initially yes more a Note and hope to have broader discussion and evolve as you say
Linda: I'll review how we have positioned it within the current draft charter
Clara: revision is in early
stages in github but welcome input and review
... we will start holding regular meetings, let me know if
you're interested
... currently more a review of existing document, identifying
sections that need attention
<billroberts> @Clara I would be interested in joining meetings and making a contribution of some sort to the updated version
Ed: happy to help
Linda: we polled people on a previous call about interest in participating, I'll find that think Bill and Clemens were among them as am I
Clara: I'll put something together soon and send to the list
Clemens: I have been relatively
quiet due to being overloaded but did a review and created a
list of things worth addressing and shared that with Clara
previously
... will be able to help but unsure how much time I can
commit
Bill: also time limited but very interested in contributing
<eparsons_> +1 to joint session
<MichaelGordon> +1 to joint session too
<billroberts> +1 for a joint session too
<PeterR> +1 two birds, one stone
Linda: the next virtual OGC meeting coincides with when we would hold our next group call, seems worth joint session with Geosemantics
Ted: how about the joint session with WoT then too, open to OGC community?
Linda: what do you think Scott?
Scott: schedule is pretty full but some things shifting around and could have the week before
Linda: I like idea of two separate sessions
Scott: you can use one of the short time slots
Linda: any other business?
... we were efficient today and have time...
