Logistics
Meeting schedule
McCool: we have two slots
… there are pros and cons
<Song> Sorry to correct, AB not BoD. :) kaz
McCool: maybe we could move this one hour later, for example
Kaz: if we can move that call, we can consider that as an additional candidate
Koster: ok by me
Kaz: we should ask the other people's opinions
Koster: any problems, all?
… one single slot would be better
Linda: one hour earlier / later would be ok
Mizushima: slots around this time is ok
<Song> I also prefer to night time, +/- 1hr works
Toumura: one-hour later than this slot is ok
Kaz: what about you, Raul
Raul: good
Kaz: I'll ask Daihei about his availability
Koster: good
GitHub
Koster: Kaz proposes to create a GitHub repo
… should we have wiki also?
Kaz: would suggest we simply use GitHub only :)
McCool: easier to use only one MD notation :)
Koster: ok
<Linda> +1 for github
Koster: would make sense
ACTION: kaz to create a GitHub repo for smart cities IG
Any other logistics issue?
(none)
Quick review of IG Charter
<kaz> IG Charter
Kaz: shares screen with the IG Charter and walks through
… we may need to add some liaison groups
… for example spatial data
… the biggest issue is we are 6 months late in the process
… the biggest question is how to create a web based platform for smart city digital twins
<kaz> Scope Summary
<kaz>
Identification of stakeholders from the industries, countries/cities
and communities to involve in the group's discussion
<kaz>
Survey on the existing technologies and standards for Smart Cities,
e.g., possible building blocks of Digital Twin Framework and standardized
Vocabularies for Smart Cities
<kaz>
Best Practices on what kind of technologies to be applied to what kind
of Smart Cities applications, e.g., WoT, Automotive, Geospatial, VR/AR, Speech
and Semantic Web to be applied to improved accessibility, visitor guidance
and energy management
<kaz>
Use cases and requirements for Smart Cities
Discussion
McCool: the scope is quite broad, what is the priority
McCool: we should prioritize other W3C activities
… also think about gaps, what is gaps
Kaz: right
… let's discuss which group to start with first then
Koster: Spatial Data
McCool: RDF-Star
… maybe we don't need to handle it ourselves in the end but we can look into their work
… note that different groups tackle different approaches
… need to understand how linked data is handled by them
Kaz: maybe we can use the GitHub repo to continue our research for those topics
McCool: we can use GitHub Issues mechanism for that purpose
Koster: ok
… we can start with creating GitHub Issues to initiate discussion
Kaz: once I've created a GitHub repo, you can create an Issue, McCool :)
McCool: and invite people to do so as well
Liaisons
McCool: organizations working on smart cities in general
… not necessarily an SDO
… intersection with the Web would narrow the scope later
… there are three bubbles here
… 1. Smart Cities
… 2. Web
… 3. Digital Twins
Koster: right
… given the success of ETSI around NGSI-LD
… some of the groups working on smart cities would make sense
… like a group of Matter
Existing resources
McCool: should have resources.md to gather information
… short summary of the topics
Koster: yeah
Kaz: shall I do that?
McCool: good
… we should invite people to review it
… also we can talk about our priority as well
Koster: like the NGSI-LD guys
McCool: right
… how to deal with geolocation information is important
Kaz: right
… we can ask Linda for help :)
Koster: that would be a good place for the discussion
Deliverables?
McCool: can talk about our deliverables?
Koster: good question
* Survey on the existing technologies and standards for Smart Cities (Technology Landscape) * Best Practices on what technologies, e.g., WoT, Automotive, Geospatial, VR/AR, Speech and Semantic Web, to be applied for what kind of Smart Cities applications, e.g., improved accessibility, visitor guidance and energy management. * Use cases and requirements for Smart Cities
McCool: according to the Charter, the deliverables are as above
Lieven: meet a requirement or not
… meet a feature also
… what about prediction, cross-domain integration, etc.
… once formulate the requirements, should analyze possible gaps with potential standards
McCool: good point
… e.g., WoT is organizing user stories
… analyzing the purpose of the task
Lieven: would support that
<McCool> suggest user story approach, As an X I need Y in order to Z. Z is purpose, can also be a task (e.g. in order to make decisions based on data).
<McCool> X is stakeholder, Y is feature (e.g. property graphs)
Kaz: another topics is possible Team Report about Smart Cities
… I can generate some document based on the Charter
… and I believe it would be useful for our IG discussion as well
Next meeting
Koster: next week
… will update the agenda on the GitHub repo
