Thanks a lot for taking notes, Michael McCool!
As confirmed during the call, we'll hold our monthly call on the
fourth Monday of the month to avoid the conflict with the Nordic
Smart Cities CG meeting.
BTW, I'm very sorry but apparently both I and Koster were a bit
confused during the call, and actually April 2025 has only four
Mondays (=7, 14, 21 and 28). So the next meeting will be *April 28*
instead of April 21.
I'll send an updated Calendar out to the group for to make sure.
Thanks,
Kazuyuki

Logistics
Koster: any cancellations we know of coming up?
Kaz: was conflict with Nordic CG on third monday of the month,
so propose shifting this meeting to fourth month
… would like to confirm
McCool: I think you need to send an email for that, too
Kaz: did, so should do it again
McCool: next week DST will be done, finally
Koster: note April will have five Mondays, also
Kaz: should be April 21 :)

Koster: (scans minutes, summarizes main points)
Koster: discussed logistics, including repo, deliverables
… reviewed charter
… resolution to create a repo, that has now been done
… for requirements, user story format suggested

Koster: this was more Asia-friendly timeslot
… however, we agreed going forward to combine meetings
… we have to generate a Team Report
McCool: is there a deadline for the Team Report/
Kaz: end of charter, July 2026, but good question; not tight,
but we could define some milestones
Koster: can put it in the agenda for now; may also want to
consider a White Paper
Kaz: I can create an initial schedule.md in the repo
Koster: ok, sure
ACTION: Kaz to create a schedule page on GitHub
Koster: convergence of grid; also saw this topic show up in
meeting with Nordic CG
… converges with smart building topic, energy use, etc.
Koster: gap analysis would be useful
Koster: one pager
Koster: any update to the minutes? If not, I would like to
propose we adopt and publish them.
Koster: ... no objections heard.
Koster: not sure where we put things like the gap document
McCool: suggest chairs should review the minutes before the
meeting and add such things to the agenda
GitHub updates and resources
McCool: resources page:
… [12]https://github.com/w3c/smart-cities/blob/main/
resources.md
[12] https://github.com/w3c/smart-cities/blob/main/resources.md
Koster: list of relevant W3C and other groups
Koster: need to consider interoperability, e.g. for
geolocation, datasets, etc; also privacy principles
McCool: need to better organize this; very long. Prioritize,
group by categories?
Kaz: right. this big list was copied from the IG Charter, and
we should think about priority categories first, then which
group to be included in which category next
McCool: digital twin would be another category
… would require sensor data, etc.
… probably we need to clarify use cases as well
McCool: suggest we focus on digital twins, generate use cases,
use that to prioritize
Kaz: may also be useful to look at external organizations first
McCool: starting with digital twin concept, we need to thing
about what kind of "modelling" we need
… e.g. geospatial data, relationships and entities (aka LD),
time series and numerical data (e.g. IoT sensor data)
… and what "web" is used for e.g. visualization (webGPU, vector
graphics, etc)
Kaz: right. reminded me of the great session about SVG Map for
evacuation purposes during the AC2024 in Hiroshima.
Koster: issues like IoT interfaces, ontologies, etc.
McCool: I think we need a short list of high-level categories,
maybe 5 or so, and organize things under that
Koster: what about standards?
McCool: SDOs work on lots of things, we should cite specific
standards, not orgs...
Kaz: could create another md file for technology categories
… could think about which SDO is working on which categories
McCool: makes sense
Koster: good place to start
<kaz> [13]technology-categories.md
[13] https://github.com/w3c/smart-cities/blob/main/technology-categories.md
Koster: as mm said, we need to pick a small number of "focus
areas"
McCool: suggest we brainstorm right now in the PR, then people
can comment offline
McCool: suggest create a PR so we can comment and propose
updates
[14]PR 1 - Update technology-categories.md
[14] https://github.com/w3c/smart-cities/pull/1
Kaz: let's continue the discussion on GitHub using the PR 1
above
… then we can talk about that during the next call
[adjourned]
