W3C Workshop on Maps for the Web

[sideshowbarker]

Seeking horizontal and general review of workshop proposal.

CfP: https://maps4html.github.io/Maps4HTML-Workshop-2020/call-for-participation

This is a planned three-day Maps for the Web workshop, June 15-17, 2020 in Montreal to “bring together people to establish a common vision of how the Web platform could evolve to support accessible maps and spatial information”.

We hope to announce the Call for Participation before the end of February.

National Resources Canada and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) are hosting.

The plan is for two days of presentation and discussions, followed by one day of “hands-on hacking”.

A few of the key proposed topics include:

• adding standard support in the HTML language and web platform (and in browsers) for displaying maps and interacting with them — analogous to the existing support that HTML and the web platform have for displaying video content and interacting with it (the HTML
• CSS styling of maps and map features
• semantic rendering of spatial “things” to support spatial accessibility
• federated map services with linking

https://maps4html.github.io/ has more info about the related Maps for HTML effort, which is formalized at the W3C so far as a Community Group at https://www.w3.org/community/maps4html/ and very active GitHub org at https://github.com/Maps4HTML that holds a number of different repos.

Thanks! I filed Issues Maps4HTML/Maps4HTML-Workshop-2020#10 Maps4HTML/Maps4HTML-Workshop-2020#11 with questions based on privacy and security reviews. I'll add "review completed" tags when those issues are addressed.
