IMHO, there is one big source of data (and applications) of interest to 
W3C and OGC that we have not really discussed in detail in the sdw group 
and these are data related to movement, e.g., trajectories, paths, 
moving objects, and so forth. Applications range from transportation, 
tourism, migration, location-based services, travelblogs, to wildlife 
tracking. I would love to see them on the agenda, e.g., to define an 
ontology for them. Well, and of course the SSN Primer.
