Re: Feb focus week

Hi Linda, SDWIGers,

Last week I attended a W3C Web of Things Face-to-Face meeting in Princeton, NJ, USA representing OGC.
https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/wiki/F2F_meeting,_28_January-2_February_2019,_Princeton,_NJ,_USA <https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/wiki/F2F_meeting,_28_January-2_February_2019,_Princeton,_NJ,_USA>

The W3C WoT contacts were primarily:
Michael McCool michael.mccool@intel.com <mailto:michael.mccool@intel.com>  - one of the WoT Chairs
Sebastian Kaebisch  sebastian.kaebisch@siemens.com <mailto:sebastian.kaebisch@siemens.com> - editor of the TD spec and perhaps other WoT docs.
Kazuyuki  "Kaz”  Ashimura  ashimura@w3.org <mailto:ashimura@w3.org> - W3C staff

The presentation I made is available here:  https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/82673 <https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/82673> 
370MB file with more information than I displayed in the room.  Many hidden slides.  Several embedded videos.
The presentation included several topics from SDW.

Listed below are these topics that we might coordinate on going forward.
- Add Location to the Thing Description (TD)
- Model “Observation” as an WOT “action” 
- Datastream
- WoT binding template for SensorThings
- Compliance test

Regards,
George





++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

- Add Location to the Thing Description (TD) Context
 An simple element for the location of the thing could be added easily.  
 The default could be a point location.
 The W3C/OGC Spatial Data on the Web Best Practice can be used to add a location element
 https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-bp/#bp-spatialdata <https://www.w3.org/TR/sdw-bp/#bp-spatialdata> 

- Model an “Observation” as an WOT “action” 
 The WoT TD defines things has having Properties, Actions, Events
 An Observation is the "act of measuring or otherwise determining the value of a property” in particular regarding sensing and sampling.
 This is defined in the OGC Observations and Measurement Abstract Spec (which is identical to ISO 19156)
 http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=41579 <http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=41579> 

- Datastream
 SensorThings defines a “datastream” as a key concept.
 In SensorThings a Thing may have zero-to-many Datastreams.
 A Datastream is a collection of Observations grouped by the same ObservedProperty and Sensor.
  http://docs.opengeospatial.org/is/15-078r6/15-078r6.html#28 <http://docs.opengeospatial.org/is/15-078r6/15-078r6.html#28> 
 The SensorThings datastream could be considered for reuse in WoT steaming applications.

- WoT binding template for SensorThings
 The Web of Things defines a “Binding Template” to enable extensibility to other protocols.
 A Binding Template could be developed to make the SensorThings API/protocol accessible to Things supporting WoT.

- Compliance test
 There were several questions about the OGC Compliance Test facility.
 A compliance test has been define for SensorThings.
 The OGC TEAM Test engine is open source and available for reuse and extension.

Our intention is to iterate on the content of all three documents based on feedback and issues, moving towards final reports.  The objective is to get collaboration not only from the geospatial community, who we’ve worked with through the OGC testbed process, but also from the Web standards community.
