Spatial Web Protocol, Architecture and Governance specification
- Abstract
- The Spatial Web Protocol, Architecture and Governance specification defines requirements for the interoperability and governance of cyber-physical systems at (potentially global) scale, including autonomous devices, applications, spatial content and operations. The Spatial Web merges the physical and virtual worlds, transcending geographic and national boundaries to create a global commons for expression and imagination. This convergence, enabled by decentralizing technologies, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, robots, and the Internet of Things, heralds a new era of interconnectedness. It's built on the foundations of the Internet's evolution over the past half-century, characterized by user-generated content, mobile internet, and IoT. The Spatial Web, facilitated by the Hyperspace Modeling Language (HSML), creates a seamless digital-physical reality, leveraging augmented and virtual reality and integrating common goods such as privacy, data ownership, and autonomy by design.
