What should be in the charter?
Scope
the Geo Data on the Web Working Group will focus specifically on Web technologies. Where relevant, it will promote Linked Data using the 5 Stars of Linked Data paradigm, but this will not be to the exclusion of other technologies.
Out-of-Scope
The Geo Data on the Web Working Group will not develop any geospatial or map rendering technologies.
Deliverables
types of deliverables (under w3c process)
notes and recommendations
these need to be:
achievable (realistic) and what the community wants
what is a priority Now and Next?
Use Cases and Requirements (Note)
Geo Data on the Web Best Practices (Recommendation)
Time Ontology in OWL (Recommendation)
Semantic Sensor Network Vocabulary (Recommendation)
Coverage in Linked Data (Recommendation)
any gaps? *
* remembering the list of "things already being done elsewhere"
Use Cases and Requirements (Note)
Geo Data on the Web Best Practices (Recommendation)
This could include:
1. an agreed spatial ontology conformant to the ISO 19107 abstract model and based on existing available ontologies such as GeoSPARQL, NeoGeo and the ISA Core Location vocabulary;
2. advice on use of URIs as identifiers in GI systems;
3. advice on providing different levels of metadata for different usage scenarios (from broad sweep metadata to metadata about individual coordinates in a polygon).
4. develop advice on/define RESTful APIs to return data in a variety of formats including those defined elsewhere, such as GeoJSON, GeoJSON-LD and TopoJSON.
