Spatial Web: Concepts of Space from AI
- a video presentation -

Abstract:  

Artificial intelligence motivates new interpretations of space and time.  AI computation includes spaces of extraordinarily large number of dimensions.  AI operates on knowledge instantiated in databases and associated computations for enormous graph data structures.   IEEE P2874 Spatial Web Protocol, Architecture and Governance Working Group [1] is developing these concepts including reference to OGC standards.  This talk explains the Spatial Web's concepts of space, time, domains, agents, identity, activities, and contracts.  The first law of geography is applied to high dimensional and graph knowledge spaces.  The power of location to determine context and permissions is described.  The draft Spatial Web standards references ISO and OGC standards, including Coordinate Reference Systems, DGGS, Sensor Web and SensorThings, CityGML, and GeoPose.  The Spatial Web draft standard includes applications ranging from: indoor warehouses with autonomous robots; to global scale economic markets for greenhouse gases mediated by AI agents.  The Spatial Web applies the laws and technology of geography to AI agents working in this expanded hyperspace.
