Meeting

Event details

Date:
Eastern Daylight Time
Status:
Confirmed
Repeats:
every 4 weeks on Thursday, starting from 2021-12-09, until 2023-07-20
Groups:
Spatial Data on the Web Working Group ( View calendar)
Participants:
Sebastian Käbisch, Michael McCool, Kunihiko Toumura

Session objectives:
(a) Define the geolocation deliverables for next WoT WG charter (2023 onwards). A starting list is here [1]. Use cases will guide what kind of geolocation data we might need.
… Do we need velocity? Maybe, the use case is transportation or robotics.
… Do we need to identify topology? Maybe, if we are talking Building Information Management systems.
… Do we need to worry about visibility from given viewpoints? Maybe, if the use case is AR.

(b) Agree schedule for routine checkpoint joint sessions and date of next meeting. Ongoing coordination is needed to ensure that WoT leverage existing geospatial standards and avoid creating new - especially around vocabularies/ontologies.

WoT gaps and future work are listed here [2].

WoT WG view is that GeoPose (limited to orientation?) and GeoSPARQL (missing a wat to access actual geolocation data in a consistent way?) don't cover all the use cases.

Looking forward to seeing you. Jeremy and Linda
(SDW-WG co-chairs)

[1]: Geospatial deliverables may include the following

  1. Geospatial discovery mechanisms (e.g. finding Things near a certain location)
  2. Geospatial data encoding standards, for both metadata (Thing Descriptions) and dynamic data (here is a proposal, but it is only an outline): https://github.com/w3c/wot-discovery/blob/main/proposals/geolocation.md; may be necessary to enable 1.
  3. Geospatial use cases (e.g. logistics, Smart City infrastructure management, etc.). We have a set of use cases here, https://github.com/w3c/wot-usecases, and recently did a review of gaps here, https://github.com/w3c/wot-usecases/blob/main/USE-CASES/coverage.csv, and it was clear that accounting for location is one of our biggest gaps.

[2]: Gaps and Future Work:
• GIS Integration
o Geospatial data and discovery
• Data Management
o Digital Twins and shadows
o Event notifications
o Historical data
• Security
o Key provisioning and onboarding
o Secure LAN access
o Proxy services
o Access control and ad-hoc sharing
o MUDS
• Accessibility
o Sensory modality mapping
o Textual/descriptive interfaces
o Service location
o Mobility services
• Advanced Use Cases
o Transportation
o Logistics
o Distributed energy management
o AR visualization
o Analytics integration e.g. for health and safety monitoring

Agenda

The meeting focuses on a discussion starter about how the SDW-WG and Web of Things WG might collaborate for WoT Geospatial

Agenda:

  • Introduction of WoT Geospatial plans by Michael McCool
  • Discussion
  • Planning for inter-WG coordination
  • AoB
