Automotive and Web Platform Business Group LBS work
Goals
- Create specifications about LBS, including Data Format Specification, Client API Specification, and Service Specification.
- Create conformance tests to cover new specifications that get defined.
- Provide use cases and other reports to identify additional needed standards work and to drive successful automotive web deployments.
Scope of Work
The IVI-LBS domain cover basic features:
- Basic navigation:
- Navigation Core, including Location Input, Route Calculation, Route Guidance.
- Map Viewer, including Map Rendering and View Control
- Basic extensions:
- Point Of Interest (POI), providing a POI Search interface with a content access module mechanism allowing to extend the search to external data sources.
- Traffic Info, providing a Traffic Incidents Service.
- Geocoding, enrich geographic coordinates with a description of the location and vice versa

Specifications
The group will develop three Specifications for IVI LBS:
- LBS Data Format, which might be available for IVI LBS. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the LBS Client API and LBS Service Specification.
- LBS Client API, which is WebIDL-based API.
- LBS Service Specification, which is websocket-based API.
The Contributor License Agreement (CLA) Patent section does apply to Specifications.
Test Suites
High-quality, comprehensive and automated test suites are important interoperability drivers. The group will endeavor to create test suites for each specification it releases. Test Code will be contributed under a 3 clause BSD License. The Contributor License Agreement (CLA) Patent section does not apply to test suites.
Non-normative Reports
Since participants will reflect diverse interests within the automotive ecosystem, the group plans to document a variety of (non-normative) use cases and other reports. These may serve as input to other W3C (or non- W3C) groups to indicate capabilities that need to be standardized. The Contributor License Agreement (CLA) Patent section does not apply to these non-normative reports.
