Hello,

As some may already know, the OGC and the W3C have recently started a unique collaboration project, the Spatial Data on the Web Working Group (SDWWG) <https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Main_Page>. Simply put, the task of the group is to make it easier to publish and use geographical raw data on the World Wide Web. Coincidentally, standards and best practices for doing that could also be used on more closed off webs. More details about the goals of the working group can be found in the working group's charter <http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/charter>.

At the moment the working group is collecting use cases that should be a source of requirements for further work. See this page <https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Working_Use_Cases> for the current collection of use cases. Only members of the working group (OGC and W3C members can join) can directly add use cases, but of course suggestions from other interested parties are very welcome. The working group's mission is best accomplished with broad community support.

If you are unable to become a member, but still would like to contribute, you can use the e-mail list for public comments: public-sdw-comme...@w3.org <mailto:public-sdw-comme...@w3.org>. Use cases will be collected until the first of March of this year. If you have wishes or requirements without a clear use case it is still worthwhile to post them.

Regards,
Frans
