This is where the PoI use cases catalog will be maintained

Logistics: containers, ports, ships, planes,

Healthcare: patients, physicians, hospitals, asset monitoring, asset management (hospital),

Public Safety, Disaster management, Emergency management, first responders, infrastructure, perception of safety (Open 311 standard)

User Stories

1.1 As a LOGISTICS COORDINATOR, I need a way to define the unloading locations the delivery vehicles will use

1.2 As a LOGISTICS COORDINATOR, I need to be able to define the access routes to and from the site and share with logistics operators

5.1 As an EMERGENCY RESPONDER, I need to know the best possible or prioritized route to the incident

  • As a government agency, I want to publish spatial information of different types/themes as points with a set of generic attributes, so that the information can be easily used and viewed on a map. (source: Koen De Baets)

  • As an emergency planner of a city, I need to know which childcare facilities are within a perimeter of the affected area in case of a calamity (source: Koen De Baets)

  • As a master builder, I need poi’s of different types to create a tool for local authorities to support a more sustainable and better use of space (source: Koen De Baets)

  • As a …, I want to search interesting places by name/address (source: Koen De Baets)

  • As a …, I want to know all interesting places (eg sport and tourist accommodation) within a certain radius of my location (source: Koen De Baets)

As a health care company, I need to aggregate the many attributes (location, medication availability, hours of operation) of the hospitals in xxx region to ensure access for my 'users'.

To do: Integrate or discuss how to include in user stories and use cases the concept of "CONFLATION" (definition: aggregation of data sets from many different sources)

Capabilities Users Need

What is it that the users need to achieve their goals (above)?

The goal of this section/process is to have a common (generic) set of capabilities that can be used by a wide variety of users and use cases.

User Requirements

This is where we can capture the detailed requirements.

December 7: Contributed by Nazih Fino: Navigation/public safety use case: AR escape route (evacuation) providing directions based on orientation and position.

Matt: seen examples presented (Sisi's team) showing first responders to enter and navigate safely in a building. Inverse of the evacuation use case.

Alex: MUDDY SWG is working on definition for underground data. A lot of information that use cases will be needing will be defined in the MUDDY spec. Initial draft spec is under development based on one use case: excavation.

What do you need to know about what's in the ground when excavating? A: utilities (gas, electric, etc) Not just currently active infrastructure, but also dormant or expired assets.

Will start with sparse data set, but the idea is to allow people to share data in a coherent manner.

Chuck: back in 911, data was stovepiped or not available to first responders.

Alex: initial testing is happening in NYC. In UK, we have profile of the new version in NUAR (new underground Apparatus Register)

Chuck: need to make sure that we do not create stovepipes. the MUDDI data has to interact with BIM and POI and everything else.

Christine asks if there's a user "story" that we can include?

A POI SWG member should join the MUDDI SWG to cross-pollinate. Nazih Fino volunteers

Q: Is a buried gas line a POI? A: a segment is a POI

EV Charging Stations: Parts of the energy grid Q: does one need to have POI describe the entire energy grid or only the connection point to which the EV charging station is attached? Matt: are we talking about a POI as the point with which we interact with a system or are we trying to describe data without interaction potential?

If we approach the question as the interaction/connection point as the POI, we don't need to have defined the entire grip.

How does POI connect with Digital Twin concepts and standards? Does a Digital Twin have a huge number of POIs?

Alex: are we over complicating? Should we not be looking for examples of POI, then collating them into themes, then looking at where the themes come from? Are we trying to identify the "master" use case too early? Have a wide Troll of what people would like to see as POI, items that are recognized as POI, then classify them into themes, identify the master use case.

Joetta Kreck: I work for Army Geospatial Center. New to this work (POI SWG). One of the use cases we have is simplified situation awareness. We have complex data models. Sometimes a challenge to get down to user level. Sometimes people need positional validation. I think I'm "here" and this is what's around me.

Looking at it from the other side: what are the things a community needs to collect and those become POIs. Earlier question: how you interact with POI (what things are PoI?), could be anything, dependent on user community requirements. In terms of looking (macro level: power grid) but if looking from a different perspective: plugs and outlets. So, many levels, build in an element of extensibility while keeping simplicity.

Nazih: Time, in the case of emergency, a POI could be an open space, but later (another point in time) it could be another type of space.

Chuck: Underlying foundation of the POI standard is under development.

Christine: For the Indoor Navigation and First Responders' use cases, please check this NIST engineering report https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/TechnicalNotes/NIST.TN.1648.pdf

A POI could also be a moving object, which brings in a whole other set of geometries.

Matt: raises a whole other raft of issues.

Chuck: Let's generate a transcript from recording and extract useful bits.
