RDF, XML, JSON-LD, .... (see slides) 09:20:04 plh: Often data is consumed software to software, without a user involved. 09:22:05 plh: Technical Needs: 09:22:25 plh: 1. Maintain the current platform. 2. Improve. 3. Expand the scope. 09:23:20 plh: e.g. we had Geolocation, which was fairly stable. Improvements were made but not adopted by all browser agents. 09:23:52 plh: SVG is used widely, but specification not maintained. 09:28:11 plh: expanding into new areas of need. e.g. epub user agents, VR/immersive, and internet connected cars. 09:29:53 and who is the user? the car owner, or the car driver?

Expectations 5 years ago differ significantly from today. Automobiles resemble an IOT device todays. 09:44:20 plh: Work in progress on a strategy for automotive. Education needs to be done in the automotive industry. 09:44:23 +1 plh 09:44:47 plh: There is a parallel to the media industry. 15 years ago there was a need to inform what the web is. 09:45:17 plh: thus, education first before producing technology. 09:45:53 wendyreid has joined #techroad 09:46:23 plh: Mobile devices were divergent for some time until the iPhone 09:46:26 ack tantek 09:46:27 tantek, you wanted to respond to hadleybeeman 09:46:40 tantek: In reply to hadleybeeman: 09:47:09 q+ to ask about the web application "gap" 09:48:34 tantek: We've relied on individuals and Tim as director to resist doing 'the bad things'. The Vision document and taskforce are the transition. 09:48:38 q+ to ask if we should have a member-visible or public risk analysis of new roadmap items 09:48:48 tantek: As a member based organization, we can use the vision document / group, but it will still rely on individuals. 09:48:58 tantek: Regarding Automotive: 09:49:05 https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/ 09:49:11 tantek: Mozilla research 09:49:53 tantek: While browsers as user agents have prioritized users' privacy and data the automotive industry hasn't. 09:50:04 ack dezell 09:50:05 dezell, you wanted to ask about the web application "gap" 09:51:06 dezell: we have been reaching out to automotive manufacturers to evangelize the value of prioritizing these things. 09:51:24 dezell: 2nd question: 09:51:35 https://github.com/w3c/ping/blob/main/summaries/PING-minutes-20230907.md#1-consent-handling-in-the-context-of-the-w3c-auto-wg-viss-spec-with-guests-from-the-w3c-auto-wg 09:52:31 dezell: Been a fan of Web Applications. They are often better fit vs other application platforms. 09:53:25 dezell: But there are a group of developers who eschew a web app vs native app because there is something they need that CSS(etc) can't do. 09:53:27 ack nigel 09:53:27 nigel, you wanted to ask if we should have a member-visible or public risk analysis of new roadmap items 09:53:44 dezell: Perhaps we can better identify a layer etc to address that. 09:54:14 nigel: When threat analysis is done, how visible is it to members and the public? 09:54:34 plh: There is a mixture. It depends on how problematic the situation is. 09:54:39 Tomofumi has joined #techroad 09:55:22 plh: EME (encrypted media extensions). Lots of discussion about working in this space.
