Re: Retrospective review: August focus days

SDW IG folks,

> Note that the teleconference about the [OGC Tech-Trends] is scheduled for next week: 14-Aug.

My day/week runs a little later, so here is my update to prepare for telecon.
Gobe, Greg and I worked on method for commenting as the IG discussed in June.
Listed below is a draft agenda for the telecon.

OGC Tech Trends: "Spatial data on the web”

Aug 14 Tue, 11:00 AM EDT   
Global Time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=SDW+IG+Tech+Trends+telecon&iso=20180814T11&p1=263&ah=1

Draft Agenda
OGC Tech Trends process
Quick reminder of the process and current state overall
See attached figure - a better version for public page is being developed.
Tech Trends on GitHub including how to comment
Based on SDWIG discussion in Ft Collins we have revised the process for comments.
Each Trend has a link to an Issues page.  Public comments are invited as issues; moderation of issues will result in updates to Trends.
"Spatial data on the web” category of tech trends
Currently 6 issues listed in this category: https://github.com/opengeospatial/OGC-Technology-Trends/blob/master/chapter-05.adoc <https://github.com/opengeospatial/OGC-Technology-Trends/blob/master/chapter-05.adoc>
For example: "Web Scale Programming" trend
Trend description: https://github.com/opengeospatial/OGC-Technology-Trends/blob/master/OtherTrends/WebTrends.adoc <https://github.com/opengeospatial/OGC-Technology-Trends/blob/master/OtherTrends/WebTrends.adoc> 
Issue for Trend: https://github.com/opengeospatial/OGC-Technology-Trends/issues/33 <https://github.com/opengeospatial/OGC-Technology-Trends/issues/33> 
Other topics as desired

This is the week before the OGC TC meeting in Stuttgart - we're hoping that these focus days will enable us to hit the ground running and take best advantage of the OGC TC meeting.

This stems from the discussion about CityJSON / CityGML. Please give your thoughts - we'd like to be able to present a SDW IG position on this at the Stuttgart OGC TC meeting in 2nd-week of September.

We now have a new placeholder [Project for proposals](https://github.com/w3c/sdw/projects/15 <https://github.com/w3c/sdw/projects/15>) - imaginatively called `Proposals`. Here you'll find [Issue #1067](https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1067 <https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1067>) for "360-day calendar" and [Issue #1068](https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1068 <https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1068>) for "Dicing or partitioning ontology for RDF Data Cube".

> * WebVMT and MapML are keen to run breakout sessions. Linda and Jeremy will set up a conference call with Rob and Peter, plus Francois, to discuss the approach, stakeholders and intended outcomes.
> * CRS negotiation / Profile negotiation (stimulated from a discussion about MapML) is a shared concern with the Data Exchange Working Group (DXWG); we'll make sure to catch up at TPAC to discuss this further.
> * We will also aim to catch up with the Linked Building Data Community Group - in particular to share info on 3D geometry serialisations (3D-tiles) - Josh: any update here?
> * Opportunity to canvas wider support for the Statistical data on the Web activity
> * Opportunity to look at accessibility concerns for Web-mapping

Linda invites feedback via [Issue #1065](https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1065 <https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1065>). Thank you to Scott for getting the ball rolling.

> Linda has also created a list of the OGC standards that are "not yet friendly enough". The intent is to share this with the OGC Architecture Board (OAB) to help drive discussion about evolution of OGC standards. Linda will share an initial draft with the OAB during the Stuttgart OGC TC meeting to see if the list, plus rationale for each item on the list, is being provided in a way that is helpful for OAB's discussion. Feedback on the list and associated rationale is requested via [Issue #1057](https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1057 <https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1057>). Thank you to Clemens, Scott and Peter for your comments. More feedback requested please!

There is also a discussion about use of HTTP headers to enable such negotiation, but Peter [notes](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdwig/2018Aug/0002.html <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdwig/2018Aug/0002.html>) that use of HTTP headers are a challenge for MapML as currently specified.
