<br>
Dear Open Street Map community,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I apologize if you are seeing this email for a second time. I sent it<br>
originally to the talk-ca list, and I was advised that this list might<br>
be more appropriate.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
My name is Peter Rushforth, and I’m with the Canada Centre for Mapping<br>
and Earth Observation, at Natural Resources Canada (a Canadian<br>
government department). We are planning a World Wide Web Consortium<br>
(W3C) workshop on maps in the Web platform (specifically HTML),<br>
together with the W3C and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The<br>
workshop will be collocated with the OGC Technical Committee meeting,<br>
June 15-17 2020 in Montreal, Quebec.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am sending this email to see if Open Street Map (especially the Web<br>
client development teams) might be interested in being invited to<br>
participate (by presenting a short position paper, in person) in this<br>
workshop on the concept of better integrating mapping into the Web<br>
platform standards, and if so, how does Open Street Map see this.<br>
Even if you believe that the Web platform standards are already good<br>
enough for mapping, it might be worthwhile staking that out as a<br>
position. If you are interested, though, we would certainly welcome<br>
OSM to also be part of the program committee.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The objective of the workshop will be to start the conversation<br>
between the geospatial (and geospatial standards) and Web platform<br>
communities, about how Web standards could better serve the needs of<br>
Web mapping and most especially users of Web maps and the Web in<br>
general.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Some topics of potential interest include:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
a native map viewer, similar to that provided for video content<br>
standards for how such a map widget might integrate with map services and APIs<br>
accessibility of browser maps<br>
privacy of user location information<br>
security of browser-based maps<br>
Integration / relationship of maps and location with other browser<br>
APIs, e.g. geo-video, geolocation API, forms, SVG<br>
crawling, indexing and searching map information<br>
standardized browser elements and APIs<br>
CSS styling of maps and map features<br>
Map feature creation / input forms<br>
federated map services with linking - aka the Web<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Mostly the agenda will be driven by position papers, and what<br>
organizations like yours want to discuss. If OSM is interested in<br>
sending one or two people to present a position, please reply directly<br>
to me, and I will ensure that you / they are invited.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Peter<br>
