1.    Project Description:

I15 (ISO19115 Metadata) Extension Package of CS-W ebRIM Profile 1.0 SWG

1.    Key Activities.
The DWG will focus on the following activities:
1.    Reviewing the current LandXML schema and determining how best to continue to support the existing users and engage with them.
2.    Assessing the current industry support for the LandXML schema and whether multiple, incompatible versions of the schema have evolved.
3.    Investigating how to best incorporate LandXML into the OGC standards framework, including identifying places where there may be common elements in existing standards such as CityGML.
4.    Investigating the possibility of moving the LandXML schema into LandGML.

Mobile device users who require map/geospatial application services and operate in disconnected or limited network connectivity environments are challenged by not having open, available geospatial data to support these applications.  Further challenging mobile device users are the limited storage available and the likelihood that each map/geospatial application will require its own potentially proprietary geospatial data store.  These separate application-specific data stores may contain the same geospatial data, wasting the limited storage available, and requiring custom applications for data translation, replication, and synchronization to enable different map/geospatial applications to shar
