Approved. 15:13:39 ... Last week we had confusion about time because were going to cancel/hold/move... in any case I dialed in and talked to John Breslin, a new member 15:13:51 ... There are minutes from that, but I was just giving him background for the WG and IG to date 15:14:11 ... John has been involved in the w3c for a long time, linked data, lecturer at what was previoulsy DERI 15:14:19 ... Been renamed Insight Centre for Data Analytics 15:14:37 ... Don't know if he is going to participate himself, but his grad student guanyuan is joining us 15:15:01 guanyuan: Hello, I'm a first year phd student under supervision of John Breslin 15:15:04 ... Interested in social web and semantic web 15:15:15 AnnB: I believe you're interested in vocabularies? 15:15:18 guanyuan: Yes 15:15:28 Ann: You're echoing again. Badly. :>( 15:15:31 AnnB: Welcome to the group, we've been working to get guanyuan's visa so he can come to f2f in Paris 15:15:42 guanyuan: I think I can meet you there 15:15:47 AnnB: We look forward to meeting you 15:16:22 ... Lloyd just joined 15:16:40 ... {recaps guangyuan's intro for lloyd} 15:17:14 Lloyd: I'd like to meet him. I saw an email with people's names, do people have preferred linsk for research? 15:17:18 AnnB: Could add links in wiki 15:17:54 ... Unfortunately after we'd picked a new time for this meeting, Dan R said this time didn't work for him 15:18:05 ... There's no other time on the poll that would work 15:18:11 ... He can't make the meeting in Paris 15:18:26 ... elf isn't here today. He invited Jason Haag to join too, but he's not here 15:18:34 ... The other items on the agenda were from elf 15:18:39 ... So I'm not sure what to do about thme 15:18:50 ... He has a proposal to change from using tracker to github 15:18:54 ... And moving this irc channel to social 15:18:59 https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-social-interest/2015Apr/0029.html 15:19:17 ... The reason that we stayed with two irc channels is in order to have trackbot in each channel, to keep action items separate 15:19:40 ... Since we can't seem to get trackbot to work, and more people are familiar with github, my interpretation is that is why he suggested this 15:20:14 Arnaud: I understand the problem with the setup, but this is a failure from w3c to provide us with the right setup. This shouldn't cause us to change the way we work. But beyond that, if people want to use github that's fine 15:20:24 ... Github will work for issue tracking, but not really for action tracking, will it? 15:20:29 AnnB: I don't know, anyone else? 15:20:37 I don't know off the top of my head about actions 15:21:23 various people: not sure 15:21:56 AnnB: I'm trying to figure out how to use github to contact people and talk about their issues 15:22:01 ... I was really hoping elf would be here today 15:22:09 ... I guess we'll have to postpone this decision until the next call 15:22:48 https://github.com/w3c-social/social-ucr/issues 15:22:49 TOPIC: Progress on API user stories with objections 15:23:00 AnnB: We're not making much progress, we need to do more 15:23:33 ... Larry and I put stories out there, and with the comments that were any kind of concern or objection, but I'm going to need instruction on how to use github to resolve these issues 15:23:34 Me too, AnnB! I am not a github user either. 15:24:10 I'm not sure, I need to check what's currently going on with the group 15:24:17 I'm not up to speed 15:24:18 I've been trying to reach Kevin Marks by his Gmail account, but getting no response. Would love to know how to reach him via github. 15:24:31 lehawes - get Kevin on IRC 15:24:37 #indiewebcamp on freenode 15:24:56 rhiaro: Thanks, Amy! 15:25:03 AnnB: Don't see that I'm getting notifications with @ on github 15:25:07 @ does work on github 15:25:08 github: yes, can use @name to notify; and people can sign up to watch a repository 15:25:22 it depends if people have email notifications set up though 15:25:23 not everyone does 15:25:24 Is there a tutorial available directly on github? 15:25:43 AnnB, maybe your email notifications arne't on 15:25:59 AnnB: bottom line is, we need to make progress on these stories 15:26:09 AnnB, I'll look at it after the call and email you if I figure anything out! 15:26:29 AnnB: Arnaud, as chair do you have any objections to this group using the social irc channel? 15:26:37 Arnaud: I'm thinking 15:26:48 I notice there's a lot of noise in #social right now 15:26:53 notifications form things 15:27:19 Arnaud: no legal issues 15:27:30 ... I don't know that the WG would mind 15:27:38 ... For archival purposes, maybe it's not ideal 15:27:44 ... Mixing two different flows 15:27:51 ... The logger, etc 15:27:59 ... it's harder to find things afterwards 15:28:04 AnnB: yeah, I think it's harder 15:28:11 Arnaud: there's some value in separating those threads 15:28:14 I agree ^ 15:28:19 Arnaud: hesitant for this, but not objecting 15:28:27 AnnB: I'm not sure I see the benefit 15:28:49 Arnaud: as chair of the IG Ann, i recommend you escalate the issue with the w3c, to get them to sort it out 15:28:51 q+ 15:29:06 ... if the group still wants to change to use github, but we shouldn't be forced into it 15:29:09 To me, sharing the IRC channel would create better awareness of what each group is doing. Downside is aforementioned clutter. 15:29:14 AnnB: I don't think that's why elf is suggesting this 15:29:21 Arnaud: as far as I know github doens't have an action tracker 15:29:29 ... I'd rather we had our own channel with our own tracker 15:29:39 ... if we choose to use github for issue tracking as well that's reasonable 15:29:44 ... like we do in the wg 15:29:57 AnnB: We pretty much had the channel working until we moved the time 15:30:07 ... I'm not sure trackbot was ever working 15:30:11 ... I will lean on the systeam to do that 15:30:17 ... oh by the way, harry is ill 15:30:41 ... I think we're going to have to leave both of the questions, about tracker and irc, until next week 15:30:55 ... In the meantime, I'll get hold of w3c systeam to get set up properly 15:31:01 ... Any other comments about those two suggestoins? 15:31:08 EdK: I support keeping them separate 15:31:17 ... Especially if we're still trying to find a time to that works for everyone 15:31:23 ... There's a small chance we'd end up colliding meetings 15:31:40 ... Will stay well organised 15:31:58 AnnB: good point 15:32:01 ... Any others? 15:32:01 q- 15:32:26 TOPIC: Use cases with minor objections 15:32:57 AnnB: background, the social web wg is developing a social web api, and for that work, came up with 90 user stories 15:33:11 ... just describing things like ' a user posts a note and somebody comments on it' and so on 15:33:27 ... Everybody voted on them, what was important, what they would implement etc 15:33:30 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Social_API/User_stories 15:33:36 ... Stories and votes at link 15:33:46 ... And then somebody organised the stories with the way they were voted on 15:33:57 ... A small number that were entirely positive 15:34:03 ... then some that are mostly positive, and so on 15:34:09 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Social_API/Sorting_user_stories 15:34:16 ... A lot of the objections are really minor 15:34:20 ... Just about the wording 15:34:29 ... Such as, there's one about posting a comment and embedding some media 15:34:41 ... the way it's written said she posts a comment then posts a video under her comment 15:34:51 ... many objections were 'we should not specify location of video' 15:35:04 ... that's easy, it's just someone wrote it that way. 15:35:12 ... Those are the things that the wg is looking to use to figure out 15:35:20 ... We just need to go through objections and contact people 15:35:31 ... 'is this really a big deal', ask if it's okay to rewrite things slightly 15:35:46 ... wg are working hard to try to figure out other things, so this is important work that we can contribute 15:35:49 ... also it's in our charter 15:35:57 ... so we need to start working on it 15:36:04 thanks this was a helpful explanation ! 15:36:15 ... The proposal to do this in github is to take each of these issues, post them in github, and get people to talk about them there 15:36:23 ... We need more instruction on how to manage that, but that's the goal 15:36:25 ... Any questions? 15:36:29 ... or comments? 15:36:39 ... Any problems with doing that? 15:36:48 ... I'm going to take silence as ACTION 15:36:57 ... Anyone who doesn't speak is going to have to do some work! :D 15:37:14 lehawes: the issue with the ability to collaborate has been the biggest holdup 15:37:22 ... getting hold of people has been hard 15:37:27 ... if we can clear that up, we'll progress 15:37:35 AnnB: one of the things we discovered is that the indieweb people don't respond to email 15:37:45 ... varies according to the person 15:37:51 ... but for those of us who work with email it's a barrier 15:38:00 ... as we've seen, most of us on this call are new people to github, so similarly a barrier 15:38:06 ... we're trying to learn, but it's slwoed things down 15:38:13 ... we need to figure out the best way to collaborate 15:38:20 ... Any other comments about working on the user stories? 15:38:27 TOPIC: Vocabulary TF 15:38:49 AnnB: An issue from elf 15:38:51 issue-4 15:38:51 issue-4 -- management of 'living' vocabularies similar to microformats.org and schema.org -- open 15:38:51 http://www.w3.org/Social/InterestGroup/track/issues/4 15:39:02 https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialig/Vocabulary_TF#Mapping_API_User_Stories_to_Vocabulary_terms 15:39:05 ... Mapping user stories to vocabulary terms 15:39:08 ... Lloyd? 15:39:10 ... Anyone? 15:39:31 Lloyd: I'm not up to speed 15:39:56 ... My main observation about vocabularies-stories is seeing a disconnect between actual domain vocabularies vs basic vocabularies 15:40:14 ... so as we're going through the 90 stories, at least for people who are interested in vocabularies, could use more definition in the feedback process 15:40:27 ... social is general, that's fine for things like tagging a photo, but isn't going to enable collaboration for businesses to work on 15:40:48 AnnB: can you give example of vocab for businesses that is lacking? 15:40:58 Lloyd: I only preferred one story, the asparagus one 15:41:08 ... it's a marketplace, where a farmer wanted to sell asapragus 15:41:12 ... buyers, sellers, thing being sold 15:41:16 ... required a domain vocabulary 15:41:26 q+ 15:41:28 ... you need to do that with any domain 15:41:47 ... we're intuitively taking small steps, doing things like facebook instead of collaboration platform 15:41:57 ... I think the small steps can lead to something bigger 15:42:03 q+ 15:42:17 ... I'm just trying to stay focused on the fact tat bringing in a domain vocabulary is a significant piece 15:42:27 ... rather than just waving hands around it, we need to documen tit 15:42:46 AnnB: I agree, important point. I am sympathetic to wg, trying to define first step 15:42:54 ... trying to keep it manageable 15:43:04 ... probably better to get v1 out, and then grow 15:43:13 ... but I don't want to lose visibility or the concept of the larger potential 15:43:31 Lloyd: also the IG is playing a role in technology development that we're trying to really address the need with use cases, where the wg is more technical 15:43:49 ... it's our role to not just launch something that's cool, but is very usefl 15:43:58 q? 15:44:00 ... in particular, the useful and in demand thing is a less expensive way to coordinate resources 15:44:27 ... last year, I'd created types of use cases paper 15:44:38 ... I've been trying to break down the 90 stories into types 15:44:47 ... I think the marketplace doesn't have a lot of quantity, but has a lot of quality 15:45:05 ... I'ts not the be-all-end-all if domain specific vocabularies have to wait 15:45:13 ... but it's good if it can be addressed in the edits of the stories 15:45:22 Lynn: my partner bob submitted that story 15:45:29 ... we're trying to work on a vocabulary in that whole area 15:45:35 ... It seems really out of scope for this group 15:45:41 ... I've not been sure how to fit that in 15:45:59 Lloyd: I think it's out of scope because of momentum around SWAT0, created by people who are technologists 15:46:07 q+ to mention extensions to vocab 15:46:31 ... I exchanged some emails about that, really fascinating 15:46:41 s/that/asparagus user story 15:46:50 ... We have to stand up and make the case about what's important 15:47:09 AnnB: I can easily see asparagus story extrapolated to boeing vocabularies, such as want to sell a plane 15:47:31 EdK: So I have been thinking about vocabulary in the further future 15:47:39 ... I've been trying to work offline to think about federation 15:47:48 ... How vocabularies work in a decentralised social world 15:47:57 ... But since we haven't defined it yet, harder to get mind around 15:48:05 ... Yesterday, sat in on a webinar about knowledge management 15:48:12 ... Important is visualisation capabilities 15:48:39 ... An example, a map of the world that facebook did by creating a map of people and through friend relationships and locations, simply plotted that 15:48:45 ... and it drew a complete picture of the world 15:49:16 ... and it dawned on me that from a single instance social environment, especially in a business sense, things that we would need to be able to focus on, core relationships, but with a business lens 15:49:33 ... if I want to see how things are laid out in my network, what would those things be and how would I use a common vocabulary to do that 15:49:39 ... can't use a folksonomy, can't use NLP 15:49:50 ... that's where the importance of single-instance vocabulary would have to lie 15:50:04 ... If you look at new visualisation software ,that could help trigger what you want to focus on 15:50:08 ... customer buying, selling 15:50:14 AnnB: lloyd has recruiting, skills, hiring 15:50:34 EdK: I'm not an ontology expert so I wouldn't know how to organise that, but that mental model helped me think about what single instance would be beneficial in a business sense 15:50:41 ... What are the key things that I would want to visualise? 15:50:51 ... The idea of looking at the words used to construct the usecases 15:50:57 ... look at the most likely key words 15:51:01 ... maybe make them bold 15:51:07 ... then maybe italicise synonyms 15:51:14 ... put in emerging vocabulary words that would be equivalent 15:51:18 ... tying it back to user stories 15:51:29 AnnB: maybe you could copy a story to another wiki page and do a prototype 15:51:34 Okay if I type? 15:51:39 You can read for lloyd 15:51:43 q- 15:52:00 I just wanted to mention that the vocab being developed in the wg is for barebones core social interactions 15:52:07 and there's an extension mechanism for more domain specific ones 15:52:17 so specific domains can define what they need, and tie in 15:52:29 so things like marketplace, recruiting, etc 15:52:52 would not be done in the WG, but it would be possible for anyone to create their own, and still interop with the core 15:53:07 How the extension mechanism works is still under discussion 15:53:16 Does that help? 15:53:26 That seems like a prudent architecture, Amy. 15:53:26 AnnB: questions? 15:53:46 Lynn: when you say it would be possible for anyone to create thier own,what does that mean? can many people still use it? 15:53:54 It could work either way 15:54:04 There are already many public vocabs that anyone can use 15:54:11 They are published in a certain way, with discoverable documentaiton 15:54:33 AnnB: that's notes from earlier 15:55:21 AnnB: by the way, John Breslin and guangyuan are working on vocabularies for social semantic interaction, and John wrote SIOC 15:55:27 ... which is semantically interlinked online communities 15:55:36 Yes, there are many industry (domain) specific vocabularies in existence and use. Would be silly to try to recreate those when they could merely be plugged in to the social web architecture, as needed. 15:56:21 lehawes: I tink we raised this when IG was started. Trying to get a handle on what vocab TF would be doing 15:56:38 ... trying to recreate industry/domain vocabs would be wasted effort 15:56:45 ... good to plug them in on as-needed basis 15:56:58 ... Originally vocab TF would be identifying these, and making a list 15:57:09 AnnB: elf has called this out earlier 15:57:21 Issue 4: https://www.w3.org/Social/InterestGroup/track/issues/4 : management of 'living' vocabularies similar to microformats.org and schema.org 15:57:23 ... If you look at vocab TF wiki page, there are references to oter specific domains 15:57:36 ... Also raised for discussion today this issue to do with management of living vocabularies 15:57:45 ... I can't speak to this, but it's another vocab management question 15:57:55 ... Does anyone have new business? Anything for next week's agenda? 15:58:11 ... I think we need to work out how collaborate 15:58:16 ... I will make a point to get hold of systeam 15:58:23 ... Beyond that? 15:58:33 ... Anyone?? 15:59:01 Inter-group collaboration is the key issue to address, IMO. Other agenda items can't advance well until we solve that. 15:59:11 Lynn: Question, I'm wondering if it makes any sense, from watching emails, should we put some issues from tracker on the agenda? 15:59:23 AnnB: The working group spends a lot of time going through issues like this 15:59:29 ... I'm not sure which are ours, I'll make an effort to figure that out 15:59:48 Arnaud: That's a good proposal, but the best way to proceed on closing issues is when people do some prep work and come up with a proposed resolution 15:59:51 ... Then we can debate that 16:00:23 ... From that point of view, it would help the chair set up the agenda if people in the IG look at the issues, choose the ones they care about, initate a conversation to start making a proposal for resolution for an issue 16:00:37 ... The chair can monitor the issue. People can make proposals, and put them on the agenda 16:00:43 AnnB: Thanks 16:00:58 ... Any other suggestions? 16:01:11 I need to join another meeting. Thanks AnnB and everyone else! 16:01:15 ... In that case we'll end unless any last comments 16:01:17 ... or good jokes? :D 16:01:35 no problem 16:01:43 ... Everyone go look at user stories! 16:01:51 trackbot, end meeting 16:01:51 Zakim, list attendees 16:01:51 sorry, trackbot, I don't know what conference this is 16:01:59 RRSAgent, please draft minutes 16:01:59 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2015/04/15-socialig-minutes.html trackbot 16:02:00 RRSAgent, bye 16:02:00 I see no action items
