DCAT

<olyerickson> -1 to knowing anything

<sandro> issue-8?

<trackbot> ISSUE-8 -- add a property to distinguish direct and indirect access of dcat:Distribution -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/track/issues/8

<sandro> issue-9?

<trackbot> ISSUE-9 -- dcat:Distribution and its subclasses are unnecessary -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/track/issues/9

olyerickson: reminds that we can close the issue or turn it to action if we feel so
... or for some examination needed...

<bhyland> olyerickson: We have a number of issues that have been "raised" but some number of them should be moved to "open" or "closed", or other suitable status.

<sandro> issue-7?

<trackbot> ISSUE-7 -- Drop dcat:accessUrl, use the URI of the dcat:Download resource instead -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/track/issues/7

martin: issue 7 is ok to be closed

<olyerickson> +1 to closing issue-7

<martin> Closing the issue without actions

sandro: we need to see if PhilA is ok with closing this issue-7

<sandro> sandro: So, if ISSUE-7 was originally raised by Ed Summers, let's have someone get back to him and see if he still cares, etc.

subtopic: issue-9

<sandro> issue-9?

<trackbot> ISSUE-9 -- dcat:Distribution and its subclasses are unnecessary -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/track/issues/9

olyerickson: this model allows for multiple model distribution... give extensibility mechanism

Sandro: to send an email to Ed Summers at LoC

<bhyland> Ed Summers at Library of Congress

olyerickson to send finally an email to Ed Summers at Library of Congress to invite them to the group or for feedback

olyerickson: issue-9 is a non issue..

martin: agree to simplify the vocab...

<olyerickson> So @martin says simplify, @olyerickson says keep it "complicated" (as it)

<olyerickson> correction: martin says "simple enough"

<olyerickson> I will present "concensus" to Ed Summers

George: have also consensus with PhilA to close the issue

<bhyland> ack

bhyland: there is a housekeeping to do from the last request for FPWD

<olyerickson> +1 to not being down in the details...

byland: how actually to change date in doc spec in mercurial

Update and discussion on approved FPWD transition status of GLD products (Bernadette)

sandro: the date are to negociated with the webmaster of W3C

<sandro> respec config.js

DaveReynolds: in config.js you have the date

<sandro> http://www.w3.org/2005/08/01-transitions-about

<Biplav> I have one small announcement which can be done at the end.

DaveReynolds: summarize the discussion about DQ

<bhyland> @DaveReynolds, thanks for telling me location of .js file to touch. Done :-)

DaveReynolds: how to motivate the issue in the UC document...

<bhyland> @tinagheen, let's discuss CD announcement time permitting on today's call.

<bhyland> @davereynolds, well said. Thanks.

DaveReynolds: we are unclear now about the UC documents distinction (high-level vs technical level)

Use cases vs. Specifications vs. Best Practices docs discussion

<cgueret> hello

bhyland: Some portion of our work are coming from previous work...
... if we have some experts to check UC docs , it will be appreciated

<olyerickson> I *think* I'm hearing that use cases are critical, but they must be relevant and there must be champions/responsible parties

DaveReynolds: we should concentrate on the high level UC docs..and use the tracker for more details

<olyerickson> I agree DaveReynolds' suggested approach

+1 to DaveReynolds approach

Community Directory

tinagheen: CD could be distributed to the Organization?

bhyland: we have a tracker on the CD, based on the feedback received after the 2F2F..
... will push it and could be distributed to any organization...

AAAI Workshop called "Semantic Cities": http://research.ihost.com/semanticcities12/index.html

<bhyland> tinagheen: Would like to see Community Directory pushed forward with the various FPWDs.

Announcements

biplav: organizing a workshop on semanticcities
...URL: http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/meeting/2012-03-15

<bhyland> Biplav: I am organizing a workshop at AAAI-12 called Semantic Cities. I mentioned it in our GLD calls as well. I wanted to send this request to you earlier but somehow missed.

<bhyland> The idea of the workshop is to discuss open data and how semantics can provide a foundation to facilitate high-value analytics. See: http://research.ihost.com/semanticcities12/index.html

s/http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/meeting/2012-03-15/http://research.ihost.com/semanticcities12/index.html

<bhyland> @biplav - suggest you connect with Dan Melton from Code for America who does a lot of city based open government publishing… not necessarily promoting W3C standards per se, but someone I feel we should be liaising with ...

<Biplav> Thanks for the guidance.

DaveReynolds: BP doc revision....

@biplav thanks for the announcement

<bhyland> The model I'd like to see is this BP doc, see http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/REC-mwabp-20101214

bhyland: BP doc wants to make it looks like this http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/REC-mwabp-20101214/
... she is re-estructuring the document.. maybe for this sunday it could be ready for internal review

<mhausenblas> Michael: Looking at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-gld-wg/2012Mar/0058.html and the other Transition Requests - wondering where we are … still not published?

<olyerickson> +1 to following MWABP but remember it is about apps, ours isn't

<Zakim> mhausenblas, you wanted to ask about status of FPWD

bhyland: the status of FPWD--still coming for next week

<bhyland> The Status of the 4 vocab FPWD for transition has been approved by Thomas Roessler with caveats to fix up the publication date & SOTD ...

<bhyland> I'm going to email the editors with request to fix up but we are nearly there!

<rreck> bye

<olyerickson> Thanks George for chairing today!

<bhyland> @george - thank you for chairing.

<martin> bye, thanks

@sandro: I will have some problems having attendees ..see : http://www.w3.org/2012/03/22-gld-minutes.html (maybe because Zakim was invited too late?)
