I took a second pass. trying to work out which ones are more broadly accepted. 12:08:33 CSV ftw ;) 12:08:35 ... I made a table 12:09:05 ericstephan: Jeremy also made some comments - all of these are in the table 12:09:38 ericstephan: Tim made some last minute changes/additions as well 12:09:55 ... also in the e-mail exchange there were further considerations 12:10:15 ... I was looking for ones that we blanket accept and which ones may not be so universally accepted 12:10:30 ... david was looking for requires that can be merged. Jeremy did the same 12:10:54 ... Ivan brought some interesting comments. Should we be looking for blanket acceptance or should we try and categorise the ones we have 12:11:13 JeniT, behind jumbrich is Jürgen Umbrich from WU Vienna 12:11:13 ... then we began talking about whether res should be mandatory or optional 12:11:14 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-csv-wg/2014Apr/0110.html and thread 12:11:41 ericstephan: Then, Jeni said that mandatory reqs mean that any implementation would need to do all of them 12:12:01 ... JeniT said these are just reqs from the use cases and we should keep it at that level 12:12:09 ... I think we can iterate on these questions 12:12:34 ... how do we vote on the reqs? By groups? By individual reqs in a telecon or e-mail? 12:13:08 JeniT: In terms of process, I'd like to operate by consensus. Votes are only useful to highlight those that need furtehr discussion 12:13:31 JeniT: I suggest if we have a list of those that are in and these are out - then people can raise objections 12:13:41 .. we just then worry about ones that people think are in the wrong bucket 12:13:49 s/../.../ 12:14:12 JeniT: I managed to go through them before the call. Would it be better for me to give feedback here or on the list 12:14:28 ericstephan: Might better on the list so we get more people involved 12:14:37 JeniT: OK, I'll do that. There are a few where I have ideas 12:14:55 ... some look like reqs for the tabular data model - maybe that's a category 12:15:41 JeniT: I think it's good to have reqs for each of the docs. 12:15:53 JeniT: I'll try and write an e-mail about all that 12:16:08 ... really good work. Thank you Eric and the other editors 12:16:14 ericstephan: So do we let this roll for another week? 12:16:23 ... and then see if we can come to consensus? 12:16:44 JeniT: I suggests that we come back next week with the reqs organised in buckets in the doc and ask for approavl of that 12:17:08 ... and if we need discussion then we can do it after that. We;re hoping for another publicatiin in about 3 weeks' time 12:17:12 q+ 12:17:16 ack PhilA 12:17:18 ack 12:17:44 q+ 12:18:31 PhilA: I'm half way through wriitng my use case 12:18:34 ack ericstephan 12:18:37 ... going from metadata to data 12:18:44 ... I'll have it on the wiki this week 12:19:13 -JeniT 12:19:22 ericstephan: I did add some new use cases to our git, the one from Jacob. So we have two or three more UCs beyond Phil's that need to be added 12:19:35 +[IPcaller] 12:20:32 JeniT: And Eric, you're going to add HL7 as well - I know there are more to add 12:20:44 ericstephan: I expect to have them all added this week. 12:20:51 JeniT: Anythign else from anyone? 12:21:01 topic: Generating RDF 12:21:15 AndyS: The 3 of us met - me, Ivan and Gregg. 12:21:22 ... I think we got a clear picture of what we want to do. 12:21:42 ... there will be an explicit phase around cleaning data so it more accurately conforms to the tab data model 12:21:50 s/Jacob/Yakov/ 12:21:52 ... then basic mapping like this col is an integer 12:22:06 .. then a template-driven transformation which may be purely string to string 12:22:25 ... thought we'd add more content around that 12:22:32 -jumbrich 12:22:36 ... good focus for the work for the foreseeable future 12:22:43 JeniT: On the cleaning data front... 12:22:50 +??P14 12:22:52 ... I thinkwe tackled that a little in the model development 12:22:59 zakim, ??P14 is me 12:22:59 +jumbrich; got it 12:23:04 http://w3c.github.io/csvw/syntax/#parsing 12:23:06 ... there's a section of parsing files into the tab data model 12:23:11 ... that's not an RDF thing 12:23:19 ... it's needed for any kind of understanding for tab data 12:23:31 ... we also had some push back on that section/work 12:23:55 ... at W3C level as it's not part of our charter to define parsing of tab data so I'd focus on the latetr portions of what you're talking about 12:24:14 AndyS: We're not planning on writing anything about cleaning, just that you need to know the model 12:24:34 ... getting your character set right etc. is not part of this - we'll start after that 12:24:42 ... what we need is a formal def of the Tabular Data Model 12:24:50 ... is that in this doc or somewhere else/ 12:25:08 http://w3c.github.io/csvw/syntax/#annotated-tabular-data-model 12:25:08 JeniT: In what way is the def of the Core Tab Data model and annotated def not clear? 12:25:26 AndyS: I'd like it to say that a table is a sequence of rows etc. More precise definition 12:25:57 ... think we need a more textual description. at the moment it says 'data is held in a table' but doesn't say what a table is 12:26:14 JeniT: Would you be prepared to add yourself as an editor and then add any formal defs that are needed 12:26:38 AndyS: I think that's the best place for that def. I thinkw e could write the def and then worry about which doc it goes in 12:27:02 JeniT: I think it would be good if you could include that in the model doc for now - and we can think about audience etc. afterwards 12:27:14 AndyS: Might be better to split some of the more discursive stuff from the formal 12:27:20 JeniT: Are you willing to do that? 12:27:24 AndyS: Yes, if I can find the time 12:27:56 JeniT: I'm happy to put in the work, but I don't see a prob with the informality - clearly you do so can you fix it pls? 12:28:18 AndyS: One other thing... Gregg is travelling a lot in the coming weeks which will slow us down a little 12:28:29 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-csv-wg/2014Apr/0084.html 12:28:38 JeniT: After last week I was asked to write a bit more about... 12:28:42 ... (see mail) 12:29:08 JeniT: My feeling was that most of us are on the same page in terms of how we want to pitch things 12:29:28 ... but AndyS may hve more to say? 12:29:48 AndyS: There's nothing in there I felt was wrong 12:29:57 ... the devil is in the detail - what's a 2 or a 3 12:30:09 ... different ecosystems put diff spin on things 12:30:32 ... in publishing, assumption is that XSLT is available. Not so much in JSON- centric 12:30:45 ... we'll see how far we get with the templating approach 12:30:57 ... I suspect that's where the bulk of the work will be 12:31:13 ... we should be able to make valuable input for JSON and XML 12:31:31 ... some things like stops and starts don't apply to RDF etc. 12:31:42 JeniT: Anything else to raise on RDF mapping? 12:31:55 rrsagent, make logs public 12:31:58 http://w3c.github.io/csvw/syntax/ 12:32:02 topic: Tabular Data Model 12:32:21 JeniT: I've not made the progress I was hoping to make on whether we support embedding of metadata 12:32:47 ... I'm not sure that any of the UCs highlight that as a req and it may add complexity where it isn't necessary 12:33:22 ... so I'm thinking of writing to the WG to get agreement that, apart from col heading, all metadata is in a separate file 12:33:38 JeniT: Again, my aim is to have a new version of the model doc in 3 weeks' time 12:33:45 topic: Metadata Vocabulary 12:33:47 http://w3c.github.io/csvw/metadata/ 12:33:57 JeniT: This morning I published an Editor's Draft... 12:34:21 ... it takes the JSON package and JSCON schema from OKF et al and turning it into W3C style but without really editing the content 12:34:29 ... there's a little bit of motiviation in the intro 12:34:34 http://w3c.github.io/csvw/metadata/#introduction 12:34:46 ... showing the kind of thing we're aiming for, whay metadata is important 12:34:54 s/whay/why/ 12:35:07 ... I've got some issues I want to take to Rufus anad have proper discussion here next week 12:35:19 ... one thing it highlights is the need for a separate data definition 12:35:39 ... and annotations at individual cell and row level - this isn't handled at all in data Pacakaging 12:35:49 ... so there is some progress on this 12:35:59 JeniT: Any questions/issues? 12:36:17 JeniT: OAB? 12:37:15 Thank you! 12:37:22 -JeniT 12:37:26 -PhilA_ 12:37:27 -ericstephan 12:37:30 -jumbrich 12:37:31 -AndyS 12:37:31 DATA_CSVWG()8:00AM has ended 12:37:31 Attendees were ericstephan, +1.410.764.aaaa, PhilA_, JeniT, AndyS, jumbrich 12:37:32 OK, we'll call it a day there 12:37:38 jumbrich has left #csvw 12:37:38 trackbot, end meeeting 12:37:38 Sorry, PhilA, I don't understand 'trackbot, end meeeting'.
