Hi ya knygar! Don't know if we've met in person yet, did we? Sorry, don't know if this is an acronym or not. Don't know if I got your first question right - are you asking me if it is OK to move forward within an other SDO, different from W3C? Hope I got it right. Well, I think AR has a serious focus on geolocation - in fact, most of the content currently used in AR apps in the mass market is location based, with vision based components coming out only very recently (with a few exceptions). I'm specifically talking about mass market here, not showcases or research activities. Thus, I do believe that OGC and AR are a good match, and that's why I think that the OGC's expertise in shaping "location standards" is of great value to AR. AR is certainly not solely geospatial, but it plays an essential part in it. In regards to your question if there are plans to collaborate with other activities: Straight answer: yes. As an example, I am a member of the W3C POI WG (not the most active one to be honest, but I'm trying to catch up with the meetings), and I know of the activities that are going on there in regards to AR. In fact, the POI WG was meeting in Boulder, at the same time the OGC kicked off the ARML SWG, and at least 3 POI WG members also participated in the ARML SWG. I know that OMA is working on something similar, but they do not actively disclose anything yet (at least to my knowledge), so we can't really use that as a reference yet. Certainly there are other groups which have more or less influence on an AR standards discussion, and Christine Perey was saying that this is exactly the purpose of her "International AR Standards Community" to find out where the connecting points are - another community I am involved in from the very beginning, and in fact the starting point of the discussion with the OGC in regards to ARML 1.0. So, bottom line, I know that each SDO has its own set of rules on where and how other groups can interact with in-house-groups, and this sometimes causes some "political borders" - this does not only apply to the OGC, you can name other SDOs here as well (and I do understand this has various good reasons, I'm not complaining about this). The OGC SWG's goal should be to be as transparent as possible and to let other groups contribute (if they are willing to - this is something we cannot control), while still having to follow the rules set forth by the OGC. Hope that answers your questions. If I got the first question wrong, please let me know!
