This industry working group is governed by the Eclipse Foundation Industry Working Group Process document. You can also read more about the Eclipse Foundation.

Location Industry Working Group

The Location Industry Working Group (IWG) is a partnership between companies with a strong interest in location technologies.

Location technology is technology for tracking, analysing, and visualizing data expressing relative location measured in some dimensions.

The IWG is currently forming and is expected to formally launch Q3-2012. This date may change due to strong interest.


Initiative Goals

This IWG exists to enable organizations to:

  1. Collaborate on location related research
  2. Share costs, risks, and benefits to develop and sustain reusable commodity & innovative location technology
  3. Drive increased adoption of location technology, and adoption of reference implementation standards based technology
  4. Participate in joint marketing, events

Areas of Interest

  • Software/libraries for processing big data with location elements
  • Very high performance processing of location data
  • Building Information Modelling (BIM)
  • Evolution of the spatial database
  • Data exchange standards

Lead projects

One product of this IWG will be new projects. See a guide on creating a new project at Eclipse.

The Location IWG will provide a forge (code repository, bug tracker, build farm, etc.) for related technology. The following are projects that plan to host in this facility.

Roadmap

The following is tentative roadmap.

  • Inaugural conference call - March 2012 (Date TBD)
  • Conference call - April 2012 (Date TBD)
  • Face to face meeting - May 2012 @ Location Intelligence Conference in Washington D.C.
  • Create IWG Charter - June 2012
  • Identify inaugural chair
  • Identify initiating member(s)
  • Formal Launch - August 2012
