W3C Geospatial Incubator Group

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) announced the creation of the Geospatial Incubator Group on July 5th. The group will address "issues of location and geographical properties of resources for the Web of today and tomorrow."

Sponsors include W3C Members including the Open Geospatial Consortium, Oracle Corporation, SRI International, Stanford University, and the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute (USC ISI).

W3C Members may join and non-members may request a role as an invited expert to participate.
