<JohnGoodwin> +1 but only just read them...was there last week
RESOLUTION: Minutes of last meeting accepted

Subtopic: Community Directory Summary
bhyland: Good start for F2F in August
<olyerickson> @scarven minutes should be "accepted as amended" (re: DanGilman added to attendees)
bhyland: Cleaned up the requirements
<bhyland> http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Community_Directory_Requirements
bhyland: Moved some of the
content to a new page for a new set of requirements for a
community directory. All are encouraged to update.
... If you need a login to http://directory.3roundstones.net
let me know.
<rreck> email you and sandro to request editorial capability?
<sandro> just bhyland
bhyland: Add/modify company name
or add project info. Let's get this going w/ better
information.
... It would be nice 52 entries because we have that many
members in this WG
sandro: Can anyone add info about any other company/project?
bhyland: I prefer to add own information, but stubs are welcome
sandro: Let's identify stubs and then work forward from there. Sort of like a good TODO
<GeraldSteeman> +1 on stub idea
<MikePendleton> what user name/password should we be using to edit entries in the Community Directory?
bhyland: We can use a CNAME for
http://directory.3roundstones.net
to make it look like a W3, that'd be fine.
... There are some useful/neat features for the community
directory data. Minor reflection of the reality.
... e.g., who provides ontology development
JohnGoodwin: Did you mean we need to provide credentials for the login? Which role do I use to add info?
<bhyland> That is John Erickson (olyerickson) speaking from RPI
olyerickson: It'd be great to let 3rd parties to update the community data
<JohnGoodwin> csarven - was that aimed at the other John?
bhyland: Agreed. Wiki way of
updating would be better. Lowering the barrier.
... Please update the requirements as you see fit. AND I will
threaten you in the future! (guaranteed)
...: p
<olyerickson> +1 to adding LOL's about GLD community members ;)
bhyland: Let's make sure to document all the exciting cases out there. And get the word out for the work we are doing.
Subtopic: Best Practices
<bhyland> http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Best_Practices_Discussion_Summary
olyerickson: I can talk about my
questions regarding Provenance
... Trying to understand (or group consensus) where Provenance
info should go.
<rreck> when i use provenance, it is ultimately help me determine how well i know something
olyerickson: Technical aspect of
vocabularies.. this might be easy for us because W3C Provenance
WG has done good work that we can work with
... Any comments?
<bhyland> Per olyerickson's email 27-Sept-2011:
<bhyland> Because our mission is to provide "best practices" guidance, I would
<bhyland> argue there are both vocabulary "policy" components
<bhyland> * Vocabulary, for obvious reasons: the options available for binding
<bhyland> provenance data to GLD
<bhyland> * Policy (for lack of a better term) that guides stakeholders in
<bhyland> making decisions about what provenance is, its implications, how to
<bhyland> generate it
<JohnGoodwin> http://open-biomed.sourceforge.net/opmv/ns.html
JohnGoodwin: I've not done any work on this, but I know some people from data.gov.uk
olyerickson: Where do we talk about this exactly?
JohnGoodwin: We know what's done, but where do we talk about the stuff that we are trying to create for Provenance in GLD WG.
<JohnGoodwin> wrong John ;)
olyerickson: Part of our discussion should be guided from high level stand point and the ..
bhyland: People will look at both the actual standard as well as what the GLD WG recommends.
<rreck> you should and here's how sounds like a great approach
<olyerickson> +1 to "You shoulds" in "Best Practices," "here's how" in "Std Vocabs"
bhyland: GLD WG would merely point at existing docs/groups elsewhere
<olyerickson> "pragmantic provenance" in "Best Practices"
olyerickson: Sounds good
bhyland: Do we have anyone from the vocab group that would like to touch on that?
<rreck> i missed it too
<gatemezi> I suggest to have a telecon with all the vocab group to plan the work
<rreck> +1 vocab telecon
<rreck> i didnt receive the email either, but would be interested
DanGilman: Sent an email to the list, but it may have not made it
<rreck> lurker
<annew> Anne just tried to join on zakim ekiga sip
<annew> I am muted
<annew> Hey watch it!
<rreck> annew: im chatting you in the other window
<bhyland> Workshop at Open Government Data Camp, see http://www.w3.org/blog/SW/
bhyland: This is our WG Keynote, hence, you are invited to give your input/insights/feelings about the WG's progress. Lot's of people there.
JohnGoodwin: I can send some slides
<bhyland> JohnGoodwin: Have something called UK Location Programme, within that a LD working group including Ordnance Survey & others.
<olyerickson> @bhyland RPI can provide slide material on LOGD, IOGDS ("Int'l Catalog") and/or Instance Hub if you wish
JohnGoodwin: UK Location Programme, roughly speaking group of gov bodies for location agenda.. and within that we have agencies e.g., environment (publishes water quality.. linked to ordanenace survey)
<olyerickson> doh!
<bhyland> RE: SemTech London - per JohnGoodwin most of the good talks were from government, including Bart van Leeuwen/Amsterdam Fire Dept, Jenny and John Sheridan on National Archives ...
<olyerickson> RE #SemTechBiz, LDodd's preso on data quality (vs billions of triples) was good/useful
<annew> rreck: just loaded this sip voip software. unfamiliar with it. and don't' see a private chat
<gatemezi> @olyerickson: can we have a pointer of that preso?
<olyerickson> Yep looking...just a sec...
<gatemezi> TIA
bhyland: Let's document what's going on out there. Email me or use the wiki.
<olyerickson> Leigh Dodds preso: http://www.slideshare.net/ldodds/the-rdf-report-card-beyond-the-triple-count
<olyerickson> that's @ldodds (talis) "beyond the triple count"
bhyland: Anyone else attended London SemTechBiz?
<bhyland> olyerickson: Leigh's point is that it isn't about a high triple count, it is about making data useful to consumers, whomever they may be.
olyerickson: We should pay attention to what Kassabi folks are saying because it is about making data more consumable as opposed to having a pile of random data
<gatemezi> I think that data that can not derive "knowledge" is useless...
sandro: Public is public
sandro: Who knows about schema.org?
<olyerickson> +10 to hearing about it
sandro: schema.org is an effort
between GYM.
... yahoo called it SearchMonkey, Google uses RichSnippets..
so, now there is schema.org, which is a common vocab for a much
larger domain.
... Not necessarily talking about how it will be used but how
people should make their data available.
... Sooooort of close to W3C's standards.
... Tried to get all towards the same goal
<olyerickson> FYI, "GYM" is Google-Bing (aka Google/Yahoo!/Microsoft)
sandro: SemWeb people were afraid
of the big search engines would take over.. even though this
was just a discussion.
... It touches on Gov vocabs, but just on people.. not
sufficient. Will have to look more closely.
bhyland: sandro, can you talk about Facebook?
sandro: Facebook didn't show
up.
... They are doing their Open Graph Protocol, and not
coordinating with the schema.org as far as we know
<olyerickson> This group may be interested in http://schema.rdfs.org/ , a "...complementary effort by people from the Linked Data community to support Schema.org deployment and usage with a special focus on Linked Data..."
<olyerickson> +1 to Schema.org being a vote for simple/easy-to-adopt structured data
<olyerickson> +1 to OGP (facebook) *also* being about simple/easy-to-adopt structured data...
<annew> +1 great project to get involved in Sandro
bhyland: Please do your homework i.e., community directory (details entered). We'll make it easier to update.
<olyerickson> Re Datacube, yes
??: Did we discuss DataCube in the past?
<olyerickson> We had a DataCube preso a few weeks ago
<bhyland> The Data Cube was discussed & presented at the F2F in June.
<olyerickson> They are in the minutes
<bhyland> Let's plan to have another discussion at the Jan 2012 F2F.
bhyland: Important to bump our
activity on the vocabs
... Participation is key here
<gatemezi> @bhyland: as editor, you can plan a telecon
<olyerickson> +1 to adjourning...
Thanks
