Program preview: Working Group sessions on Friday
Two of our Japanese sponsors,
IMES
CCC
and
KDDI
, asked us if we could provide an open session format to get in touch with the OSM community, exchange ideas and discuss with like-minded people.
If you’re interested in the following topics, you’re welcome to join these working group sessions on Friday:
16:00 to 16:30 – “New mapping standards for the web”
W3C is developing the next generation standard for SVG as
SVG 2
, and Satoru Takagi (
KDDI
) has been the driving force behind
SVG Map
and a
Tiling and Layering Module
for SVG
to be included in
SVG 2
. In short, the purpose of this web standard proposal is to make mapping a basic function of WWW.
Satoru Takagi is interested to learn more about the OSM community, to meet developers with interest in map rendering techniques and standards, and to discuss about map rendering related topics.
16:30 to 17:00 – “Indoor Positioning and Mapping”
The
IMES
(Indoor Messaging System) consortium and
Creative City Consortium
want to present their latest activities in an “
Indoor Positioning and Mapping Project
” at the Edge City,
Futako-Tamagawa
in Tokyo.
During the session the project team will explain what
IMES
is and present their indoor positioning and mapping experiences in Futako-Tamagawa, a so called
Edge City
for living, working and shopping. Beside a demonstration of IMES and how to integrate the collected data into OSM they would like to meet other OSM community members, that are active or interested in indoor mapping, and discuss about specific indoor mapping topics.
