<h2 id="other-wgs">Relationship with Other W3C Work</h2>
|
|
<p>As listed in the <a href="#charter">Geolocation Working Group
|
|
Charter</a>, it is expected that we will be interacting with the following
|
|
W3C Working Groups.</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
|
|
<dt><a href="/2005/MWI/BPWG/">Mobile Web Initiative Best
|
|
Practices Working Group</a></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The Mobile Web Initiative Best Practices Working Group is
|
|
responsible for developing best practices for the Web that support
|
|
an appropriate user experience on mobile devices. It is expected
|
|
that these experiences would benefit from a standardized
|
|
Geolocation interface. </dd>

<dt><a href="/2008/webapps/">Web Applications Working
|
|
Group</a></dt>
|
|
|

<dd>The Web Applications Working Group is responsible for core Web
|
|
APIs, and thus may provide valuable feedback on our documents. We
|
|
also expect an overlap in members with this WG.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><a href="/International/core/">Internationalization Core
|
|
Working Group</a></dt>

expect might need review and addressing.</dd>
|
|

<dt><a href="/2006/WSC/">Web Security Context Working Group</a></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The Web Security Context Working Group establishes practices
|
|
for secure and usable information on the Web. Given the privacy
|
|
and security concerns around location information, the Geolocation
|
|
Working Group will be requesting feedback from the Web Security
|
|
Context Working Group on a regular basis.</dd>

<dt><a href="/MarkUp/CoordGroup/">Hypertext Coordination

Hypertext Coordination Group.</dd>
|

<dt><a href="/WAI/">Web Accessibility Initiative</a></dt>
|
|
<dd>The Geolocation Working Group expects to work directly with
|

the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Working Group to
|

ensure that any accessibility implications inherent to this work
|
|
have been taken into account and addressed.</dd>

<dt><a href="/2001/sw/interest/">Semantic Web Interest

ultimately handed over to <a
