Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Copyright (c) 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.5 OGC Geography Markup Language (GML) XML-based language for encoding geographic information to be stored and transported over the Internet GML serves as a modeling language for geographic systems as well as an open interchange format for geographic transactions on the Internet. GML defines both the geometry and properties of objects that comprise geographic information. Used in UK, US, Germany, Canada, New Zealand, Holland, Hong Kong, Google

GML and IETF PIDF Location Object (LO) Presence Information Data Format (RFC 4119) –The PIDF LO RFC extends PIDF to allow the encapsulation of location information within a presence document. –(PIDF) is a common presence data format for CPP-compliant presence protocols, allowing presence information to be transferred across CPP- compliant protocol boundaries without modification, with attendant benefits for security and performance. Why? –Without this standard, cannot provide sufficient Presence Service GeoPriv Working Group in IETF developing a GML GeoShape Application Schema for use in internet standards. –Approved as OGC Best Practices paper, December 2006 Now a mandatory requirement for expressing location in a variety of internet standards

Use of GML by OASIS There is now a GML Oasis Application Schema for use in a variety of OASIS standards. This application schema was developed by OGC staff and members and submitted to OASIS. –Is now being used in HAVE –Is now being used in EDXL-RM –Both CAP and EDXL-DE revisions will incorporate this work.

OGC ® “Indoor Spatial Awareness” Project –Indoor Navigation, Simulations, Applications –Funded by the ministry of transport of South Korea –Partners  Ki-Joune Li, Pusan National Univ., Korea  Jiyeong Lee, Univ. of Seoul, Korea  Mike Worboys, Univ. of Maine, USA  Christian S. Jensen, Aalborg Univ., Denmark –Research goals at TU Berlin:  Creation of a space model that integrates the notions of Euclidean space and cellular space as well as space + activity  Development of a data model comprising both 3D topography (of buildings) and the spatial characteristics of all sensors  Mapping to an exchange format: IndoorML  Thanks to Claus Nagel, Thomas Kolbe, and Thomas Becker for the slides

OGC ® IndoorML –IndoorML is a data model and exchange format for the representation of the indoor navigation aspects  GML3 application schema –IndoorML provides well-defined interfaces to connect semantic models of topographic indoor space  Complementary to existing standards like CityGML and IFC  Not restricted to 3D models  e.g., Open Floor Plan –Current research  Extension to outer space  e.g., GDF, OpenStreetMap  Mapping of IndoorML to existing systems and vice versa

OGC ® Current approaches for indoor models  3D connectivity graph  3D building model –3D connectivity graph  Geometric route network derived from topographic model of indoor space  Further aspects of fixed navigation context are modeled as a set of homogenous attributes for nodes/edges –Single graph structure is inflexible wrt.  Changes in configuration, e.g. topography or localization infrastructure  Support of additional navigation contexts, e.g. further modes of locomotion –Example: Approach used in OWS-6

OGC ® Multilayered Space Model Sensor characteristics, e.g. Wi-Fi cells (coverage area) Building topography (rooms, doors, floors, etc) Logical space, e.g. security zone (restricting access to some rooms) Partitioning of indoor space according to different space concepts

OGC ® Context Handling for Navigation Scenarios Selection Selection of layers according to the context of navigation –Mode of locomotion –Logical constraints –Capabilities of end-user device –... Returns a subsetting of the multilayered graph DB storage of precomputed multilayered graph
