Re: [Talk-ca] W3C Maps on the Web workshop

[Pierre Béland via Talk-ca]

Bonjour Peter,
Il vaut mieux à mon avis s'adresser à la liste OSM internationale pour un tel 
sujet. Pour pouvoir discuter, il est facile de s'inscrire avec adresse de 
courriel sur https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk et éventuellement de 
paramétrer pour ne pas recevoir toutes les discussions.

En plus des responsables des pages web du site OSM, divers groupes sont 
susceptibles de s'intéresser à un tel sujet, par exemple équipe du style Carto 
et développeurs de diverses applications de géovisualisation.

Dear Open Street Map community,
 
  
 
I apologize if this email gets duplicated. I sent it once without joining the 
list.  Please ignore a second version if it gets released.
 
  
 
My name is Peter Rushforth, and I’m with the Canada Centre for Mapping and 
Earth Observation, at Natural Resources Canada (a Canadian government 
department).  We are planning a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) workshop on 
maps in the Web platform (specifically HTML), together with the W3C and the 
Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).  The workshop will be collocated with the OGC 
Technical Committee meeting, June 15-17 2020 in Montreal, Quebec.
 
  
 
I am sending this email to see if Open Street Map (especially the Web client 
development teams) might be interested in being invited to participate (by 
presenting a short position paper, in person) in this workshop on the concept 
of better integrating mapping into the Web platform standards, and if so, how 
does Open Street Map see this.  Even if you believe that the Web platform 
standards are already good enough for mapping, it might be worthwhile staking 
that out as a position. If you are interested, though, we would certainly 
welcome OSM to also be part of the program committee.
 
  
 
The objective of the workshop will be to start the conversation between the 
geospatial (and geospatial standards) and Web platform communities, about how 
Web standards could better serve the needs of Web mapping and most especially 
users of Web maps and the Web in general.
 
  
 
Some topics of potential interest include:
 
  

   - a native map viewer, similar to that provided for video content
   - standards for how such a map widget might integrate with map services and 
APIs
   - accessibility of browser maps
   - privacy of user location information
   - security of browser-based maps
   - Integration / relationship of maps and location with other browser APIs, 
e.g. geo-video, geolocation API, forms, SVG
   - crawling, indexing and searching map information
   - standardized browser elements and APIs
   - CSS styling of maps and map features
   - Map feature creation / input forms
   - federated map services with linking - aka the Web
 
  
 
Mostly the agenda will be driven by position papers, and what organizations 
like yours want to discuss.  If OSM is interested in sending one or two people 
to present a position, please reply directly to me, and I will ensure that you 
/ they are invited. 
 
  
 
  
 
Cheers,
 
Peter
