[sdw] Updates to the Spatial Data on the Web Best Practice NOTE (#1179)

6a6d74 has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/sdw:

== Updates to the Spatial Data on the Web Best Practice NOTE ==
Discussion at the teleconf (Thu 25 Jun 2020) concluded that we should recharter as a Working Group scoped to update the Best Practice NOTE (and potentially other stuff).

Clara Boyd (Ordnance Survey) supported by the IG as the new lead editor.

ACTION: Jeremy, Linda, and Clara (with support from Ted) to begin working on a new WG Charter.

My notes from the teleconf below. Official minutes [here](https://www.w3.org/2020/06/25-sdw-minutes.html).

(Ed & RobS)
Discussion about ethics of location sharing - “here be dragons”
(Clemens)
General conclusion: structure and content mostly good
… only needs updates
… especially examples (some don’t work any more | HTTP 404)
… plus new examples
… additional topics:
… OGC API work - update the API chapter and “what’s wrong with SDIs”
… there’s a very heavy RDF bias in the Relationships section; mostly the OGC APIs use “web linking”
… increasing use of “tile” concepts (noting the work in OGC to standardise the conceptual model and the tiles API) - there is practice in this space, even if not yet standardised
… dynamic CRS etc. (relating to BP8)
(Bill)
… DCAT version 2 (and potential to feed into ongoing DCAT discussions)
… schema.org updates - there’s been lots of implementation in this space
… linking spatial and non-spatial data - this is much easier with OGC API
… JSON LD 1.1 makes it much easier to use with GeoJSON - this is a prime candidate for how examples can be updated
(RobA)
… FAIR Principles
… more than just DCAT; people are sharing data in ad-hoc ways (e.g. PDF docs); there’s lots of work to improve with ad-hoc data sharing [to improve (re-)usability of that data] using profiles and JSON-LD
… most people do JSON-LD poorly thanks to the tooling; the @context files are often huge
… best practice around modularity of @context files (separation of concerns), registering profiles (for re-use), and linked data descriptions of profiles
