Spatial Data on the Web Working Group

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/w3c/sdw

This is the repository for the Spatial Data on the Web Working Group, a collaborative project between W3C and OGC.

The repo is used for developing editors drafts of the Working Group's deliverables and related resources.

Please note that the Working Group follows in the footsteps of the Spatial Data on the Web Interest Group and the Spatial Data on the Web Working Group, and some of the material in this repository was initially developed and published by these predecessors.
