Re: [sdw] TPAC Breakout: Video metadata for moving objects & sensors on the web (#1194)

> **Background**
> 
> 
> 
> Emerging markets in 'mobile video devices' such as dashcams, drones, body-worn video and smartphones are increasing consumer demand for geotagged video on the web and especially with access to moving objects, e.g. distance & speed for vehicles, and sensor data, e.g. heart rate for fitness users.
> 
> 
> 
> Web browser integration of timed video metadata enables users to easily access and share their data with the online community and makes geotagged videos accessible to web search engines in a common format. [OGC Testbed-16 Full Motion Video to Moving Features task](https://portal.ogc.org/files/?artifact_id=91644#PartFMV) has highlighted benefits of exporting embedded (in-band) metadata to a separate, linked (out-of-band) file for web access using [Web Video Map Tracks (WebVMT)](https://w3c.github.io/sdw/proposals/geotagging/webvmt/), including the need for a web API for moving objects & sensors.

> 
> **Objectives**
> 
> 
> 
> The goal is to draft a justified list of properties for inclusion in a web API which is designed for accessing moving objects & sensors in a browser and suitable for 'mobile video devices.'

> Please add relevant comments to the following issues which will be used to capture feedback by Friday 23 October 2020:
> 
> * Data [Apprehended](https://github.com/webvmt/community-group/issues/1) with video;
> 
> * Data [interpolation](https://github.com/webvmt/community-group/issues/2) between samples;
> 
> * Data [attributes](https://github.com/webvmt/community-group/issues/3) for moving objects & sensors;
> 
> 
> 
> These issues will form the basis of discussion and the conclusions agreed at the breakout meeting in the week 26-30 October 2020.
