Subject: [x3d-public] X3D Earth Requirements Workshop call for participation [Colleagues: we're pleased to announce the following endeavor. Broad redistribution welcome, .pdf announcement attached.] Call For Participation X3D Earth Requirements Workshop Requirements, Capabilities, Challenges, Partnerships and Next Steps Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey California USA 14-15 November 2006 Summary of X3D Earth goals. Web3D Consortium members are preparing to build a standards-based X3D Earth usable by governments, industry, scientists, academia and the general public. X3D mappings of world terrain, cartography and imagery will be made available for use in any scene, making it easy to geospatially reference and share X3D models. Open standards, the Web architecture, XML languages and open protocols will be used throughout. Both commercial and open-source software codebases will be able to utilize these best practices and contribute to these shared assets. Workshop goal. Participants will identify and prioritize the technical requirements, available capabilities, open challenges and strategic partnerships needed for a Web3D working group to execute this ambitious project. Emphasis will be placed on extensibly adapting existing resources and cooperating to achieve shared goals, especially with other open geospatial organisations and standards. Workshop results will document participant contributions, next-step activities and goal milestones. Submission requirements for attendance. Prospective participants are requested to submit a brief abstract discussing why they should attend. Prior to the workshop, all attendees must provide a 2-4 page summary and short slideset regarding their area of interest, so that all participants can contribute to achieving our "big picture" goals. Whitepaper topics include following issues: . Strategic goals statement for community or domain of interest . Requirements for X3D Earth technical architecture and shared implementations . Assets already available: datasets and datastreams, software, hardware, labor, etc. . Access and intellectual property rights (IPR) restrictions . Unresolved challenges and open questions that still need to be addressed Participation in this workshop is open to all interested stakeholders whose input abstracts are accepted. Each workshop participant will be able to present a summary of their goal requirements, available assets and continuing efforts. Ongoing participation in subsequent X3D Earth Working Group activities will only be available to institutional and professional members of the Web3D Consortium. Workshop agenda. This is a fast-paced, action-oriented workshop requiring participant preparation. . Day 1: Conference attendee briefings o X3D Earth overview, mission statement, and Web3D working group process (1 hour) o Participants each present their stakeholder issues. (10 minutes each, plus questions) . Day 2: Building consensus (diff/merge bashing and matchup!) o Breakout groups compare/contrast/merge sets of goals, assets and challenges o Full group review of all proposed recommendations and goal outcomes o Proposed initial calendar, plan of actions and milestones Dates of interest. . October 20: 1-page abstract submission deadline . November 1: Notification of acceptance . November 7: Whitepaper, slideset submission due to permit participant review . November 14-15: X3D Earth Requirement Workshop in Monterey Organizers.
