Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Chairs,

This is both a notification that the Spatial Data on the Web Working
Group charter [1] is hereby extended until 30 September 2017 and a Call
for Review of a proposed charter for the Spatial Data on the Web
Interest Group, set to replace the Working Group once it has closed:

   https://w3c.github.io/sdw/jwoc/

[...]

The Spatial Data on the Web Working Group has issued the Time Ontology
in OWL Candidate Recommendation [2] in June 2017 and the Semantic Sensor
Network Ontology Candidate Recommendation [3] in July 2017, and
requested additional time to finalize implementation reports for these
specifications and meet CR exit criteria before requesting Proposed
Recommendation. The group, a joint collaboration between W3C and the
Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), will also publish a final version of
its Spatial Data on the Web Best Practices [4] document following an
internal review at OGC. No substantive changes are expected in any of
these documents.

More information about the Spatial Data on the Web Working Group can be
found on its home page [5].

The new Spatial Data on the Web Interest Group is to succeed the Spatial
Data on the Web Working Group after the WG's closure, to:
- develop and maintain vocabularies and best practices that encourage
better sharing of spatial data on the Web;
- identify areas where standards should be developed jointly by both W3C
and OGC.

The Spatial Data on the Web IG is scoped to realize the W3C side of the
Joint W3C/OGC Organizing Committee (JWOC).

The proposed Team effort for this group is 0.1 FTE.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact
Francois Daoust, Working Group Staff Contact and proposed Interest Group
Staff Contact, at fd@w3.org.

The Working Group charter extension follows section 6.2.5 of the W3C
Process Document:

The Interest Group charter review follows section 5 of the W3C Process

Thank you,

For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director,
