[sdw] How can WoT use geospatial standards? (#1367)

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

== How can WoT use geospatial standards? ==
Back on 21-Jul-2022, Michael McCool asked to help him and his WG understand how Web of Things (WoT) can use existing geospatial standards to meet their needs, and also to determine where the gaps are. See Michael slides [here](https://github.com/w3c/wot/blob/main/PRESENTATIONS/2022-07-WoT-SDW-McCool.pdf).

WoT has a number of applications that are "geospatial" - including Building Information Management (BIM) and Smart Cities. Future requirements will likely include Digital Twins and, consequently, have even more reliance on geospatial. WoT planned to discuss use cases and requirements at TPAC this week also.

In terms of requirements for geospatial standards, WoT is mostly interested in leveraging modular ontologies for geospatial / geolocation. On 21-Jul we had some discussion on fitness for purpose of GeoSPARQL, Geopose, etc. Also, we noted how IETF's JSON-Path doesn't include generic javascript, which improves run-time safety but means it's difficult to extend, say, with distance calculations. More assessment / thinking was needed.

Where gaps are identified, WoT plans to create work items in their new Charter, with the work itself starting early next year. WoT hope to finalise their charter pretty soon, so we need to provide input ASAP.

Please provide feedback by responding to this issue.
