The slot 2 meeting participants agreed to have one single slot on
Monday one hour later than the original slot 1 call (=chaging t 6am

So we'd like to hold the call at 9am Eastern on March 17 for the next

* 1pm UK (will be 2pm in April)
* 2pm Europe (will be 3pm in April)

… regarding smart city topic, expecting this IG as a bridge for
the existing SDOs and standards around smart cities
(Koster joins and we do quick intro again)
Koster: science and engineering background
… IoT and Digital Twins
… created digital twin-based building automation systems
Kaz: Michael is the Chair of this IG
… also co-Chair of the WoT-WG/IG
Daihei: would like to work on new areas for publishing, and
interested in smart cities and digital twins

Kunihiko: Kunihik Toumura from Hitachi
… working for WoT around Architecture and Discovery
… would like to see the gaps between the existing standards and
the current situation around smart cities
Logistics
Meeting schedule
Kaz: there was a proposal to move the Monday slot one hour
later
… to accommodate Pacific/Asia guys also
… but would that be feasible?
Daihei: the question is if we could make some slot for each
area
… slot 1 is 5 or 6 am in California on Monday
… if the other participants are OK, I can join that slot
Hiroki: technically, both would be OK
… but morning would be better, though
Kunihiko: also OK with the both slots
Kaz: thank you all!
… sorry about the inconvenience but would be great if we could
have one specific slot
… Koster, would it be OK by you too?
Koster: yeah, fine by me
… we can proceed with the direction then
RESOLUTION: Slot 2 participants are OK to have one single slot
on Monday at 11pm JST
GitHub
Koster: we'd like to use GitHub repo to manage agenda and
resources

… anyone has any issue about that?
(no problems)
Kaz: ok
… I'll create a repo
Koster: any other considerations around logistics?
(none)
Charter
[12]IG Web-based Digital Twins for Smart Cities Interest Group
Charter
[12] https://www.w3.org/2024/06/smart-cities/
Kaz: (reviewing the charter document)
Kaz: the charter started early in the year but we started the
discussion at TPAC
[ Koster is the chair and Kaz is the team contact ]
Kaz: The work is to identify stakeholders across industry,
survey technologies, and determine best practices
<kaz> Scope Summary:
<kaz> Identification of stakeholders from the industries,
countries/cities and communities to involve in the group's
discussion
<kaz> Survey on the existing technologies and standards for
Smart Cities, e.g., possible building blocks of Digital Twin
Framework and standardized Vocabularies for Smart Cities
<kaz> Best Practices on what kind of technologies to be applied
to what kind of Smart Cities applications, e.g., WoT,
Automotive, Geospatial, VR/AR, Speech and Semantic Web to be
applied to improved accessibility, visitor guidance and energy
management
<kaz> Use cases and requirements for Smart Cities
Kaz: The deliverables are structured around these areas
<kaz> Deliverables:
<kaz> Survey on the existing technologies and standards for
Smart Cities (Technology Landscape)
<kaz> Best Practices on what technologies, e.g., WoT,
Automotive, Geospatial, VR/AR, Speech and Semantic Web, to be
applied for what kind of Smart Cities applications, e.g.,
improved accessibility, visitor guidance and energy management.
<kaz> Use cases and requirements for Smart Cities
Kaz: (reviews the list of related groups and liaisons)
Kaz: what are you opinions about other deliverables?
Hiroki: We should add the Media Contents Japan CG
Kaz: we can add more deliverables later
Next steps
Koster: what are the next steps?
Kaz: let's update the lists of the stakeholders on GitHub
… also start to invite key stakeholders to our calls
Koster: sounds good
… in addition to the official IG deliverables, we're expected
to generate a Team Report around smart cities
Kaz: right
… I'd like to generate some short whitepaper about smart cities
based on the Charter
Koster: ok
… then last night, McCool proposed we collect resources on
GitHub
Kaz: right
… I can generate some template MD for that purpose
Koster: the "resources" should include the list of stakeholders
… survey on the existing standards, etc.
… then plan and prioritize our "deliverables"
… what else at the moment?
Kaz: yeah, let's start with those initial points
Koster: ok. we can find what our gaps are later
… regarding our liaisons, we should clarify the scope of each
liaison
… for example, geolocation data is very important
… good area to work with OGC and SDW WG
… smart city topics is very broad
… ISO, IEC and JTC1, e.g., SC41 have made progress
… we've got liaison (via WoT) with ETSI/FIWARE
… property graphs from NGSI-LD
… good to know about their latest situation
… so making actual contacts with them and invite them to our
calls would make sense
Kaz: we can talk with Torbjorn Larin who works for both the
Nordic Chapter CG and JTC1
Koster: right
… we should consider system developers also
Kaz: yeah, I have contacts from Takenaka, etc.
Koster: working on smart buildings?
Kaz: right
Koster: what about ECHONET?
Kaz: these days they're working on electric power grid also
Koster: energy management is important
… could involve energy power companies also
… so we have liaison targets and will have a list of them on
GitHub
… any other suggestions?
Kaz: we can generate another document about existing documents
… e.g., Mozilla's document about data governance and security
Koster: yeah
Kaz: will generate several template MDs for those topics
Hiroki: would propose we work on gap analysis too
… wondering about the scope of the survey
… survey first and then gap analysis
Koster: yeah, very good point
… along with the use cases and requirements, we can do gap
analysis
AOB?
Koster: we have 2 more minutes
… any other business for today?
… the next meeting will be held in March
… we don't have many assignments so far
Kaz: after I create the GitHub repo, everybody can work hard on
the content :)
Daihei: would like to share this group's aims to the publishing
companies
… would be great to show them brief description about the IG
Koster: so-called "one pager"?
Daihei: yeah
… concise document about why people need to work on smart
cities
Kaz: let's have some more discussion about that offline
Koster: ok
… any other business before adjourned?
(none)
Koster: thank you very much for agreeing to the one single
slot!
… talk to you all in March for the next call
… please put your ideas on GitHub
[adjourned]
