Publication Request, Spatial Data on the Web UCR (NOTE)

This is a publication request for an updated NOTE, the Spatial Data on 
the Web Use Cases & Requirements

It is dependent on a final green light from OGC which is expected next 
week but publication should not happen until this has been received 
since it is a joint publication by both W3C and OGC. I will send 
notification as soon as it's available.

Document URI

Description/HP news
===================

This is an update of the extensive use cases and requirements gathered 
by the Spatial Data on the Web Working Group, a collaboration between 
W3C and OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium). The document includes two new 
use cases and a number of clarifications that will enable the Working 
Group to make progress with its main deliverables, the first of which, a 
Best Practices document, is expected to reach First Public Working Draft 
in the new year.

Proposed publication date:
==========================

Thursday 17 December 2015

The document is already installed at the proposed URL and is PubRules 
compliant with the following notes:

- The copyright notice explicitly includes OGC since this is a joint 
publication (the sentence is verbatim the same as the currently 
published version);

- Link Checker reports problems with:
  * https://sweet.jpl.nasa.gov/
  * https://www.pdok.nl/en/node
  * http://library.wmo.int/opac/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=16300

all of which work as expected in a Web browser so these appear to be 
sites that reject HEAD requests.

Record of approval by the WG:
=============================

http://www.w3.org/2015/12/09-sdw-minutes#resolution02

There is some example code attached to one of the use cases, one snippet 
of which appeared to be encumbered by a licence but we have evidence 
from the code author that it is in the public domain

Thanks
