Dear all, As I hope you'll have seen, we recently launched a new Spatial Data on the Web Working Group [1]. We (W3C) are collaborating closely with our sister standards body, the Open Geospatial Consortium, so that the standards we produce will be jointly published by both OGC and W3C. In a nutshell, the idea is to make GIS and LOD work together more easily. The WG is collecting use cases very rapidly [2] - this WG is being very productive very quickly. But we need your help. The conversation and the use cases so far are much more heavily weighted towards the world of OGC and GIS than Linked Data. If you work with spatial data (including non-geo uses such as in life sciences) and do so in a Linked Data framework, if you use LD to integrate disparate data sources and link them to a location etc. then please let us have your use cases. Ideally of course you join the WG, but if you can't so that, we'd like to hear your use cases via the public-sdw-comments@w3.org. Obviously use cases that cover areas not already covered are the ones we're most hoping for. Decisions are made by those who turn up... and we really want you to turn up! Thanks Phil.
