Minutes from last week are posted.

<antoine> http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/minutes/2010/11/11-lld-minutes.html

Nobody has objections

RESOLUTION: Accept minutes of last week

<antoine> http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/RunningAgenda

We have entered our agenda into a wiki-page as the agenda is very long

We have a new member: Alex Constantin

<antoine> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-lld/2010Nov/0064.html

Alex: at University of Manchester
... building a live topic ontology of computer science using the conference management system
... interested in extracting semantic data from bodies of knowledge

Antoine welcomes Alex

Use cases

Antoine: We have a running action to volunteer for a cluster

<antoine> ACTION: People who were not at the face-to-face meeting volunteer to join a cluster [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/28-lld-minutes.html#action03] [DONE]

Six clusters

Antoine asks if a representative from one cluster volunteers for next week

<rsinger> next week is the thanksgiving holiday in the US, btw

<emma> not ready, sorry...

<edsu> yeah, i'm not going to be in channel next week

... discussion can be informal; nothing needs to be polished
... have to discuss clusters to meet deadline at end of december

edsu: exchanged emails about citation cluster for today; not ready yet
... confused about what we are supposed to be discussing when talking about cluster

<kcoyle> i'm not clear about that either

Antoine: Focussing on issues in the cluster could be subject of discussion.
... what we want to resolve with the use cases
... find general goals in the use cases

<antoine> http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Goals

Antoine: extract a list of generic goals from the use cases

<antoine> http://obd.jisc.ac.uk/navigate

Antoine: JISC link: find scenarios for library linked data
... we are aiming at something similar: scenarios and use cases

<kcoyle> i also like that they present it in a grid -- it's easy to understand

koyle: find goals and link back to use cases
... their goals are more specific than ours

Antoine: Need more discussion on that

jodi: compare jisc cases with ours; refine them

<jodi> (refine both ours and potentially theirs)

<Zakim> emma, you wanted to comment on scenarios

emma: use cases should become more abstract scenarios

<kcoyle> +1

<jeff_> +1

emma: then they can be part of the report
... have one or two scenarios per cluster

<edsu> +1

<Asaf> +1 re UC abstraction.

ACTION: Antoine to ask Monica to lead discussion about JISC use cases [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/11/18-lld-minutes.html#action03]

Antoine: need shepherds for a few use cases
... who will volunteer : need 2 shepherds
... 1. Bridging OWL and UML

Jeff: it is not really a use case, more a way of thinking about it
... it can be on its own wiki page, but not as a use case

TomB: alternative proposal: let Jeff shepherd his own use case

<Zakim> TomB, you wanted to propose that we bend rules and let Jeff shepherd the OWL and UML use case

Jeff: thats okay

<Zakim> emma, you wanted to ask if it fits a cluster

Jeff: Could be part of vocabulary alignment

<marcia> I think that is a good idea

<marcia> +Jeff

<marcia> I think it is a higher level, abstract approach

<marcia> to vocabulary alignment

ACTION: Antoine to put use case Bridging OWL and UML to Vocabulary Alignment [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/11/18-lld-minutes.html#action04]

<emma> Action 4 done (just moved it on http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Use_Cases)

Antoine:2. Use case: Academic documents: volunteers?

Andras volunteers

Antoine: in which cluster should the UC be moved?

ACTION: People who didn't attend the face‑to‑face should volunteer to shepherd a new use case ‑‑ i.e., the cases marked "needs shepherd" in --DONE [DONE] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/11/18-lld-minutes.html#action05]

TOPICS

Antoine: do we want to keep track of all discussions in relation to Topics
... should we link between topics and discussions on the list or is it too much work?

TomB: we have a lot of valuable discussion on the list, but we should keep an eye on our goals
... discussions should be boiled down to a statement of the problem; summarize the state of discussion and solution
... link to thread in mailing list
... our final report should be more general than the specifics of the discussion

<kcoyle> agree

TomB: summary of discussions and leave details on mailing list

Jeff: example: VIAF modelling choices; discussion helped in thinking about it
... importance of consensus in modelling choices

<emma> ... someone will have to explain the result & how the decision was made

<emma> Jeff: I'm willing to write a document

Emma: keeping track of discussion: linking from Wiki pages could be done on the fly, not later

TomB: propose to summarize discussions in one or two paragraphs that could be used in report
... as examples of the dialogs that need to be made

<Asaf> I think the VIAF dilemmas (polylemma?) are and would remain typical for implementations of LLD in the coming couple of years.

Jeff: agrees

ACTION: Jeff to write one or two paragraphs on VIAF design discussions [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/11/18-lld-minutes.html#action06]

<emma> I suggest that when we spot sth relevant, we link it from the corresponding topic page on the wiki

<kcoyle> i agree with tomB that we need to keep our eye on our specific goals

<jodi> emma++

<jodi> kcoyle: agreed -- our time is getting short

Antoine: if someone finds a relevant thread to associate to a topic, please link to topic

<emma> kcoyle++

<kcoyle> ok

<antoine> ACTION: GordonD and Antoine to study use cases that relate to vocabulary merging use case [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/minutes/2010/10/24-lld-minutes.html#action01] [CONTINUES]

Jeff would like feedback on it

Antoine: point from the topic to the discussion

<marcia> +Jeff

<digikim> jeff_: I'll take a look at the issue of URIs, might have some comments based on our experiences in Finland

<kcoyle> i don't remember that...

Antoine: has this been captured in the F2F outcomes?

Emma: Yes, has been captured
... and distributed

ACTION: for each use case champion: on the Vocabularies page, link to each URL use case that uses it [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/minutes/2010/10/23‑lld‑minutes.html#action01] [CONTINUES]

F2F after SWIB in Cologne

Joachim has send an email and asked who will attend the meeting

scribe: at the moment: eight participants
... should work out an agenda what to discuss
... maybe: where are open ends?

Antoine: will be an informal meeting
... don't need a formal agenda

<Asaf> +1

People who shall participate at SWIB please stay on after the teleconference to discuss meeting

TomB: proposes that Zakim be reserved for informal meeting

<Zakim> TomB, you wanted to propose that Zakim be reserved for the informal meeting for purposes of scribing
