Hi, > 3. Do you think the deliverable list is correct? If not, what needs > changing? IMHO, there is one big source of data (and applications) of interest to W3C and OGC that we have not really discussed in detail in the sdw group and these are data related to movement, e.g., trajectories, paths, moving objects, and so forth. Applications range from transportation, tourism, migration, location-based services, travelblogs, to wildlife tracking. I would love to see them on the agenda, e.g., to define an ontology for them. Well, and of course the SSN Primer. > 2. If yes, what frequency of meeting would you expect? Weekly? > Bi-weekly? Monthly? Monthly > 1. Would you participate?
