Hi all, The minutes from the first POI WG meeting are available online at: http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html and as text below. The actions created are as follows: [NEW] ACTION: Andrew to post to member list a call for hosts [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action03] [NEW] ACTION: Everyone to mail Gary with terms that you'd like to see defined in the terminology wiki [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action09] [NEW] ACTION: Everyone to send a brief overview of what your objectives are for this WG [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action08] [NEW] ACTION: ggale to start terminology page on POI wiki [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action05] [NEW] ACTION: Jonathan to introduce Matt and Andy to Korean potential IEs [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action07] [NEW] ACTION: Karl to write up some 'non-AR' use cases for POI data format [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action04] [CLOSED] ACTION: Matt to describe tools [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action01] I forgot to mention during the call that you can prefix side comments that don't need to be logged with "/me". I mentioned on the call that we each have a dedicated wiki page at: http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/wiki/User:username where "username" is your username. Perhaps a good exercise to ensure we all can log in to and edit the wiki might be to update your user pages, you could copy your objectives email into it, or put whatever you want there. If you run into any problems, please let me know.

Introductions Andy: I'm Andy Braun a Director of Technology Strategy at SonyEricsson. matt: I'm the team contact for this group. I also do Voice browsing and Geolocation. Carl: I'm the CTO of the OGC. I've been working in geospatial technologies since 1969. I'm very interested in anything to do with standards around geospatial services and encodings. marengo: I'm Marco (and Luca) from Telecom Italia. We're working in research for AR technologies. Karl: I work at NavTeq, I'm part of a team that does POI systems/descriptions. I'm interested because the business supply chain for POI interchange is getting very long and that drives us down the road of shared descriptions. Ronald: I'm head of R&D at Layar. Normally Dirk, the CTO would be here as well. We're interested in POI representations and want to contribute to the standards. Vinny: Vinny and Vinod from DERI. I'm researching geospatial information in the semantic Web. We're new to the AR area, but we think linked data is important. Vinod: We're looking at how AR can benefit from linked data. cperey: Christine Perey, I helped start the W3C AR workshop in Barcelona and just organized a 2 day meeting on AR standards last week. Jacques: I'm researching a system for indoor/outdoor navigation for blind people. Gary: Working at Nokia, and prior to that at Yahoo, been working in geospatial for ten years or so. Been working on the place database available at maps.ovi.com <ggale> maps.ovi.com ... that's the one <danbri> [14]http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/ [14] http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/ danbri: Working at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. I used to work at W3C. Most of my work is around the Web of Data stuff. I edit the basic geo vocabulary and worked to organize the AR dev camp here a few months ago. <danbri> (i work at [15]http://www.vu.nl/nl/index.asp) [15] http://www.vu.nl/nl/index.asp Administrative Andy: (Sorry for the google links, I work in Google docs and it apparently embedded these within the mail) <Andy> [16]http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/ [16] http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/ -> [17]http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=45386&public=1 participants [17] http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=45386&public=1 Andy: Probably another 6-8 people who have expressed interest in joining that aren't on there. We'll have more over the next few weeks surely. ... The public email list is: public-poiwg@w3.org -- just to reiterate: all technical discussions should happen on the mailing list. These minutes will be posted to the mailing list. We can either release a draft set of minutes to the member mailing list, give folks 24 hours or so to peruse them and then push them out, or we could just push them to the public list. ... Quick show of hands? Do you want an opportunity to review the minutes before sending them out, or is it fine to send them out immediately? <Karl_> i vote for immediately <cperey> +1 <vinny> no opinion <ggale> +1 for public <Carl_Reed> +1 <Ronald> +1 for public RESOLUTION: Make minutes public immediately without review. Andy: The member only list we will only use primarily for member-only face to faces. Announcing details of the calls, etc, things we might need not be public. ... I'll put a poll out by tomorrow asking everyone to vote on a call time. I picked this one because it seemed reasonable enough for most people. I'll put a poll up with a few selections and send it to the mailing list. <Karl_> eu afternoons = NA mornings = good <Andy> ACTION: Matt to describe tools [recorded in [18]http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action01] <trackbot> Created ACTION-1 - Describe tools [on Matt Womer - due 2010-10-26]. Tools (Matt describes usage of Tracker, Zakim, and RRSAgent) ACTION-1? <trackbot> ACTION-1 -- Matt Womer to describe tools -- due 2010-10-26 -- OPEN <trackbot> [19]http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/track/actions/1 [19] http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/track/actions/1 ISSUE-1? <trackbot> ISSUE-1 does not exist close ACTION-1 <trackbot> ACTION-1 Describe tools closed <ggale> Information overload ... is all this documented online somewhere? <Zakim> matt, you wanted to say this is how queuing works <danbri> see [20]http://www.w3.org/2006/tools/wiki/Zakim_Tips and nearby [20] http://www.w3.org/2006/tools/wiki/Zakim_Tips <ggale> This is deeply cool but head has reached capacity! <danbri> -if you find useful things, the wiki is a good place to share -> [21]http://www.w3.org/Guide/ member guide [21] http://www.w3.org/Guide/ <cperey> Matt, will there be a wiki for this group? <Andy> cperey, yes i will bring up next <Andy> Or actually prior to Use case discussion matt: this group is great! -> [22]http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/wiki/Main_Page wiki [22] http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/wiki/Main_Page <Andy> [23]http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/wiki/Main_Page [23] http://www.w3.org/2010/POI/wiki/Main_Page Andy: Regarding enforcement of "Good Standing" -- I don't want to get into it, but in general if you want to participate in the WG, you should participate. I don't think we'll enforce much of it. <danbri> (imho 'good standing' is more about people making/keeping commitments (not promising too much), rather than 'not putting in enough hours') Andy: One thing I'll ask for this meeting: does the ten o'clock Boston time work well for people? If we don't have West Coast people maybe 9 am would work? <vinny> fine for vinny/vinod in ireland <cperey> +1 for Beijing <Carl> 10 AM east works best for me Andy: Earlier time is probably more convenient for Asia. <Karl_> ok for me <cperey> at 9 AM Eastern <marengo> +1 to keep this timeslot <danbri> this is ok for me <Ronald> ok for me <Matt>Unfortunately Tuesday is the only day I have packed full, but other days works for me at this time. (or any time) Andy: Feel free to put your comments in IRC, I'll review them before putting out the poll. <Karl_> frequency? <cperey> who cannot do 9 AM Eastern? <cperey> weekly Tentative Face to Face Dates <Carl> Hard for me but Raj Singh would be OK (he is in Boston) Andy: I need to square away meeting space, but at the moment, I'm looking at December 7 and 8, maybe the 9th. <vinny> where ? Andy: I'm looking at Atlanta, Georgia, US. <Karl_> 7th is bad, 8-9 is OK <cperey> what are some of the other locations you are considering? <JonathanJ> +1 8-9 Andy: Alex Hill has talked about co-hosting it at Georgia Tech. That would also let us look at some of their projects as a break from the working meeting. <Carl> I am in Sydney at OGC TC and then ISO meetings at that time cperey: Have you considered other locations? Maybe Germany or European cities? <vinny> i can organise dublin probably Andy: The only European city I have access to is Copenhagen. That's an option, but getting people to go to Scandinavia in December might be hard. <Carl> As the OGC has a great interst in POI as it relates to gazetteer, perhaps we can host an Australia/Asia ad-hoc in Sydney? cperey: Maybe others on the call can host? <ggale> I can certainly look at hosting here in Berlin <ggale> Not necessarily the first meeting though Andy: I'll put my proposal on the member list, let's have that discussion between now and the end of this week. <ggale> Is Atlanta the only option for the US? <ggale> I have a preference for the Bay Area but understand that doesn't work for everyone <Andy> ggale I could also manage San Francisco <Andy> ACTION: Andy to post to member list a call for hosts [recorded in [24]http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action02] <trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - Andy <scribe> ACTION: Andrew to post to member list a call for hosts [recorded in [25]http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action03] <trackbot> Created ACTION-2 - Post to member list a call for hosts [on Andrew Braun - due 2010-10-26]. Use case creation Andy: Last week at ISMAR Christine put together a meeting of various organizations to discuss AR standards. As a team we came up with three generic AR use cases. Thought it might be worthwhile to walk through those AR use cases. <cperey> see [26]http://www.perey.com/ARStandards/Three_Use_Cases.pdf [26] http://www.perey.com/ARStandards/Three_Use_Cases.pdf <ggale> Would also help if members state briefly on IRC what their prime objectives are for participation on the WG ... ? <ggale> Works for me <danbri> could also action people to send that as intro message before next week's call <Carl> By email OK? <Carl_Reed> Sorry - need to use correct name tag. Thanks, JonathanJ cperey: The three use cases were: 1. assisting a user through a process in the real world 2. 'social AR' in essence, though not necessarily shared. user attaches or attributes content to something in the real world 3. a system that supports bi-directional interaction between two or more users with a real-time communication component to it. <cperey> feel free to check out the other materials created Andy: Probably a good first one to walk through would be the 'Guide' use case. It's generic enough for the typical use case of overlaying a wiring diagram over an engine for maintenance work. <cperey> the content is aggregated here: [27]http://www.perey.com/ARStandardsMeetingOutputs.html [27] http://www.perey.com/ARStandardsMeetingOutputs.html Andy: the 2nd would be similar to the typical AR browser. Finding a place, investigating a POI, etc. Other thoughts on this one? Are there specific things in POI that we should include? <Carl_Reed> How familiar is this group with gazetteers? <cperey> ditto, please share Karl_: Just to state my objectives: the world is suffering a lack of shared descriptions for places of business, etc. <cperey> that was not the objective of the AR use cases we developed <ggale> Absolutely +1 Carl Karl_: There have been various attempts at it, but there hasn't been one congealed standard for it, how that helps AR is one obvious stepping stone. <danbri> for describing businesses, there is a healthy amount of [28]http://www.heppnetz.de/projects/goodrelations/ data floating around lately [28] http://www.heppnetz.de/projects/goodrelations/ ggale: That mirrors my objectives on this. In addition to working out who means what across the multitude of siloed POI data at the moment. <Carl_Reed> I will post links and information on gazetteers to the wiki. Gazetteers in a sense are a shared description of a place. The shared description are done by authorities, such as the UN or NGA Matt: We obviously have non-AR use cases, we just happened to have this stuff from the AR workshop last week. Perhaps an action to start collecting the non-ar use cases. Andy: Agreed. As Karl said POIs are important to AR. If we have a single description of business etc then we want to make sure it fits the AR use cases as well. The fact that we had some AR work done already made it a good discussion point. Karl: Between myself and Gary we can come up with the most common use cases for business listings. Facilitates search, and navigation. <ggale> Carl ... want to set up a call on this and discuss before next WG call? <ggale> Me == gary.gale@nokia.com <scribe> ACTION: Karl to write up some 'non-AR' use cases for POI data format [recorded in [29]http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action04] <trackbot> Created ACTION-3 - Write up some 'non-AR' use cases for POI data format [on Karl Seiler - due 2010-10-26]. <Karl_> karl.seiler@navteq.com <Carl_Reed> Yes, good to have POI use cases independent of AR - AR is just one class of apps that can utilize POI <cperey> +1 to Matt's suggestion <Zakim> danbri, you wanted to mention feedback from a colleague, "Why are they only doing points?" / do we literally mean lat/long *points*, or rather, entities of interest? danbri: I mentioned the group to a colleague who is doing some work on geodata in Somalia. He took a very precise reading of the word "points" -- x, y coordinates. I took it to mean entities of interest, and a signal to the world that we're starting basic and building up. ... We're going to start with things and attach properties rather than try to reinvent GML. <cperey> who is speaking? Carl? Karl: I'd love for us to discuss the scope of things we're trying to describe. One thing is locations: points, locations, geofenced things, etc. Not to be confused with places of interest, which can have multiple locations, a building that has a name, etc. <Carl_Reed> There is an ISO definition for "point" in ISO 19107. <cperey> I like that! Karl: What Gary was alluding to was what's the core-shared common set of descriptions of a business. <cperey> but an entity of interest could be a person, or a car or an object which is not fixed in space Karl_: I rankle at the word business, many of them aren't businesses. <Andy> I second Christine's point about people Gary: We need to understand a few different pieces of terminology: places, points, ??-oids. Unless we lock this down at an early stage there will be bedlam from people inferring things. <Andy> In fact this is why I think some use cases are important to see what scenarios need to be covered by the spec. <Zakim> Carl_Reed, you wanted to give brief description of gazetteer Carl: I think it might be useful to look at what's been done in gazetteer -- these have been used for quite a long time in GIS and related industries. <danbri> back in the summer I posted a list of kinda 'test cases', [30]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-poiwg/2010Aug/0031.ht ml ... list of potential 'things that we might consider POIs'; in Karl's sense, these are places (unbounded), not just locations. [30] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-poiwg/2010Aug/0031.html Carl: Also in mobile LBS. Also known as yellow pages. They're collections of entities of interest. Landmarks, cities, towns, roadcrossings, etc. They'll have some sort of coordinate to specify the location on the earth along with a set of properties. ... There are some really large gazetteers out there already. ?? maintains one with 2 million points. Many nav companies have these, may not call them gazetteers. <Andy> Karl with a K, do you have a gazetteers Carl: At OGC we're doing a standardized interface for these. <Zakim> matt, you wanted to suggest a terminology wiki page <cperey> what about the terminology which we began in Seoul? <scribe> ACTION: ggale to start terminology page on POI wiki [recorded in [31]http://www.w3.org/2010/10/19-poiwg-minutes.html#action05] <trackbot> Created ACTION-4 - Start terminology page on POI wiki [on Gary Gale - due 2010-10-26]. <cperey> what sort of terminology will be included? <Zakim> danbri, you wanted to ask re types/categories in gazetteer world <Carl_Reed> For all things geospatial, ISO TC 211 maintains a public terms and definitions application. The OGC and ISO communities have developed these terms and definitions. danbri: To what extent do gazetteers have common types, categories, etc? <Andy> cperey this may be different as it is POI while that was heavily AR Karl_: Obviously from the nav side of the business we have a number of them with tens-going-on-hundreds of millions of places in them. We really struggle with categorization. ... We have our own plus have to pay homage to NAICS and NACE standards. <danbri> "we really struggle with the issue of categorisation ... one one hand, easy to use hierarch system, on other paying homage to [missed] standards" Karl_: We've been wrestling with this for quite a while. <danbri> (btw I heard at .nl GeoNovum meeting last week that W3C SKOS is getting used more and more for code lists in Geo) <cperey> I think a terminology developed by this WG should contain concepts and terms which are useful to both <danbri> [32]http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/ [32] http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/ <danbri> replaces SIC codes <danbri> "The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy." <danbri> NACE - [33]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_classification_of_econo mic_activities_in_the_European_Community (i think :) [33] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_classification_of_economic_activities_in_the_European_Community Karl_: Categories are a key point of complexity for the challenge ahead. <cperey> +q <cperey> I would like to recommend that people review [34]https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0As8Gui74DrCDdHcyUU1WS0N Gc2V6RC13YzFCUVBaUVE&hl=en [34] https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0As8Gui74DrCDdHcyUU1WS0NGc2V6RC13YzFCUVBaUVE&hl=en <cperey> for terminology <danbri> somewhat related [35]https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=29334 [35] https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=29334 -> [36]https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0As8Gui74DrCDdHcyUU1WS0N Gc2V6RC13YzFCUVBaUVE&hl=en#gid=0 beginning of terminology [36] https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0As8Gui74DrCDdHcyUU1WS0NGc2V6RC13YzFCUVBaUVE&hl=en#gid=0 <Carl_Reed> Wikipedia info on gazetteer - good start - [37]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazetteer [37] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazetteer <danbri> Carl_Reed, perhaps for another meeting would you be able to give some background of [38]https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=29334 ? (the changereq to use SKOS for codelists in GML...) [38] https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=29334 Wrap up <cperey> +1 for discussion on the mailing list Andy: Maybe we should do an around the room, perhaps on the public mailing list makes more sense. <Carl_Reed> ISO TC 211 Terms - [39]http://www.isotc211.org/TC211_Multi-Lingual_Glossary-2010-06-06_ Published.xls [39] http://www.isotc211.org/TC211_Multi-Lingual_Glossary-2010-06-06_Published.xls Andy: Just a short intro email to describe what you're looking to get out of the group. <Ronald> +1 mailing list Andy: Anyone object to doing it on the mailing list? Speak up now. <vinny> +1 <ggale> +1 no objections Andy: No objections.
