CSV on the Web Working Group Teleconference

<trackbot> Date: 23 September 2015

<jtandy> hi- just finishing another call ... 2 or 3 mins

<gkellogg> Do we have JenI today?

hi. running late - with you in 2min

yes when i get there!

<JeniT> it’s ok

<JeniT> jtandy: I promise I will deliver my commitments against mid October

<JeniT> jenit: I have started work on the Primer

<JeniT> gkellogg: the number tests are in, and they’re awaiting review & merge

<JeniT> https://github.com/w3c/csvw/pull/740

<JeniT> gkellogg: there are some things that might require discussion there

<JeniT> … I’m also aiming to integrate the date/time min/max values, which I expect to do in the next week

<JeniT> … the HTML note is also on my plate, and I’m hoping danbri will help with that

ack

<JeniT> ivan: the deadline for that Note is Feb

<JeniT> … it’s not urgent

<scribe> scribenick: danbri

jtandy: regarding Primer, reporting back on conv w/ Simon Cox about units of measure. He has published on list to say that adding something to primer about units of measure for scaled numbers, + a mentiion in docs, would be enough

i.e. editorial changes only

<JeniT> https://github.com/w3c/csvw/issues/741

ivan: also mentioned in github

jenit: looks like editorial change on the model doc

jtandy: model doc is the right place; people are most likely to expect units of measure there

ivan: do we want to have an actual label for the primer?

jenit: that would be useful
... given that I'm on the Primer, shall I take action for change to the model doc, to keep them in sync? I might ask for help on the text specifics. Mention of 3 options, Gregg outlined two.

jtandy: other one is Data Cube
... Simon would probably review if asked

jenit: only other issue to discuss, thing about the decimal dot resolution

<JeniT> https://github.com/w3c/csvw/issues/742

JeniT: I believe he wants to make sure the spec says you mustn't do what the portuguese natural language apps are doing, i.e. stripping dots from numbers in a normal decimal form

… I think that we do that

… my only question is whether and how that fact should be highlighted within the doc set

gkellogg: we describe that pretty well, handling number formats

… to make sure other agents do that is outside the work of the specs

ivan: I didn't understand where he wants a change.

gkellogg will comment in the issue

jtandy: nothing stops anyone creating an impl of our specs that does it wrong

gkellogg: we have tests for that … alternate decimal formats

jenit: and for conversion into rdf / json

jtandy: conversion always comes out with what we might call the 'standard decimal notation'

aob?

ivan: what do we do w/ issues from rufus?

jenit: #722 is editorial, he may or may not work on

<JeniT> PROPOSAL: We will close remaining technical issues (#702, #712, #713, #716, #717, #720, #721) that do not have wide support in the Working Group as continuing discussion will threaten eventual success of the group

<jtandy> +1

<ivan> RESOLUTION: We will close remaining technical issues (#702, #712, #713, #716, #717, #720, #721) that do not have wide support in the Working Group as continuing discussion will threaten eventual success of the group

[discussion of implementation, pinging of contacts etc.]

ivan: not formally req'd for P.R. stage, but it would be good to know of groups using the specs

<Zakim> danbri, you wanted to ask something

jenit: let's keep meeting weekly but briefly - tests next week
