There will be agendas adn minutes 20:11:26 Thanks Phila, I have finished the registration. 20:11:28 kerry: Coverages was getting close - billroberts? 20:11:49 billroberts: Yes, we haven't fixed it yet. I've got some responses that I'll summarise tomorrow. 20:12:22 ... Main problem is that we have people in both China, Aus, USA and Europe... so it means *someone" is bound to miss out. May need to alternate times 20:12:49 billroberts: Current plan is to propose an alternating time 20:13:05 kerry: I recommend against that, you have alternating times and alternating weeks, that's hard 20:13:14 billroberts: The alternative is to tell someone they can't take part. 20:13:22 ... We'll go on continents 20:13:32 kerry: If I can't join, I can't join 20:14:01 kerry: try and get the editors there - they're the most critical. 20:14:10 kerry: Having said that, we have the same problem with SSN 20:14:17 kerry: How's time going. 20:14:56 ChrisLittle: I failed to e-mail Simon to get the first slot. I haven't thought muchy as I'm rushing off to Washington shortly 20:15:15 kerry: SSN Doodle poll still to be filled in by some gfolks, including an editor 20:15:26 SSN may be Th 8pm UTC 20:15:30 s/muchy/much 20:16:19 kerry: Please fill in the Doodle poll as soon as possible. Please be generous with your availability - 3 slots may not be enough. 20:16:59 kerry: Plan is that all those meetings take place next week so there won't be a call at this time next week. 20:17:01 q+ 20:17:09 ack phila 20:17:47 phila: So this call only happens every 2 weeks now so that the other TFs can meet in between. 20:17:56 Topic: CEO-LD meeting 20:17:59 topic: CEO-LD meeting report (Phila) 20:18:07 yep 20:18:12 scribenick:billroberts 20:18:24 scribe: billroberts 20:18:41 jtandy, billroberts, denise mackenzie, maik reichert visited Beijing to discuss CEO-LD 20:18:49 'Coverages and earth observations in linked data' 20:19:09 a small amount of funding from the UK government to prmote UK-China collaboration to allow meetings to take place 20:19:35 University of Reading (Jon Blower and Maik Reichert) have done some very promising work on representing coverage data in JSON 'CoverageJSON' 20:19:59 * jeremy now going to Korea 20:20:09 q+ kerry 20:20:11 The meeting led to 3 Chinese organisations to commit to developing demos with reprsenting coverage in JSON 20:20:34 the resulting data can be presented in the browser using prototype software from U of Reading 20:21:00 We made good progress 20:21:19 kerry: has a group of final year software engineering students interested in working in this space 20:21:31 ...they are just getting started this week. 20:21:40 q+ 20:21:53 ack k 20:22:01 kerry: is very keen to participate in coverage calls and to keep in close touch, in order to liaise with the students and make best use of their time, skills and enthusiasm 20:22:19 kerry: planning to use the DGGS 20:22:28 so backend might be different to that used by Reading 20:22:56 phila: will keep kerry informed on outputs from CEO-LD. There are things the students could do which would be very helpful 20:23:18 kerry: has asked the students to look at RDF Data Cube, which would be quite a different approach to that used by Reading 20:23:40 phila: note that the RDF Data Cube approach is very verbose so may not work for large coverage data 20:24:15 ack c 20:24:17 phila: want to take the RDF Data Cube's notion of pre-defined slices to help with subsetting of coverage data. Should be fairly easy particularly for gridded data 20:24:18 q? 20:24:49 chrislittle: has discussed this with jtandy and will raise it with OGC next week. Will raise in WCS SWIG 20:25:15 ...data cube may need enhancing. A 'slice' could be too much. Actually want a 'dice'. 20:25:25 s/SWIG/SWG 20:25:32 ...can request an n-dimensional 'tile' 20:25:40 ...have started looking at it but not got very far yet 20:25:42 q? 20:25:50 phila: that's it for the Beijing meeting 20:25:50 scribe: phila 20:25:53 scribe: phila 20:25:56 scribeNick: phila 20:26:08 topic: Feedback from Data on the Web Best Practices 20:26:08 Topic: Data on the Web BP 20:26:20 kerry: Thanks to the members of that WG for joining us 20:26:24 and me... 20:26:26 thank you! 20:26:29 And laufer 20:26:35 and Newton 20:27:10 kerry: Can you lead this bit Linda? 20:27:22 Linda: Not too prepared but I can step in... 20:27:26 topic: Feedback from Data on the Web Best Practices 20:27:40 ... I was looking through the minutes from last time. The topics that we wanted to discuss more were mostly around APIs 20:27:52 q? 20:27:54 ... What to write about that and maybe also something about the DQV 20:28:12 Linda: And there was something more about identifiers, but I'm not sure why. 20:28:21 ... I'd like to hear from DWBP on these 20:28:30 q+ 20:28:42 ack b 20:28:47 ack BernadetteLoscio 20:28:51 BernadetteLoscio: 20:29:07 BernadetteLoscio: WE had some discussions about APIs and made some changes in the GH doc 20:29:34 http://w3c.github.io/dwbp/bp.html#dataAccess 20:29:40 BernadetteLoscio: One of our worries is the intesection between the BPs. 20:29:56 http://w3c.github.io/dwbp/bp.html#documentYourAPI 20:29:57 ... No 25 says document your APIs which is related to SDW 29 that says APIs should be self decribing 20:30:23 ... They seem to be more generic, so we were thinking - if the BP that we have is enough for you, or what change should we make? 20:30:34 ... Or should we add a new one to incorprate your needs 20:31:40 BernadetteLoscio: Our 26 is similar to your 28 20:31:49 Linda: Looking 20:32:07 ... Our 28 says you should have a convenience API that allows users to ask basic questions - make simple queries 20:32:16 ... because APIs tailored to a simple goal 20:32:27 BernadetteLoscio: I think we don't have this kind of detail 20:32:39 no , we don't have that in dwbp 20:32:59 ... What we were discussing, for e.g., this notion of data granularity isn't clear for us. Is that the same as subsetting data? 20:33:05 Linda: Yes, making a subset of the data 20:33:17 BernadetteLoscio: How do you see this? 20:33:24 q? 20:33:43 *the line is noisy 20:34:13 Linda: I think that some of the content that we have in SDW on APIs is more detailed. It's up to you how much of our content you'd like to use. 20:34:21 ... I know that JT offered to worm with you on that 20:34:41 s/worm/work/ 20:34:48 *it's better now 20:35:27 q+ 20:35:35 * the panting dog is back on audio 20:35:41 ack an 20:36:08 annette_g: There are some things that we're thinking about changing in DWBP. Maybe we can make those changes and then let you know 20:36:17 ... Then SDW can decide whether you want to keep it. 20:36:39 ... We looked at your self documentation info. We might say that self-documenting is a way to do that. 20:36:50 ... And we may offer something on subsetting 20:36:59 ... We can make those changes and then you can take a look 20:37:21 Linda: That sounds like a good approach to me 20:37:39 ... If you make some changes, then please let us know, especially Jeremy, Payam and me 20:37:50 ... If you're adding more content on APIs then we can lose some of ours 20:38:09 *I don't hear any sound 20:38:31 q+ 20:38:51 ack b 20:38:59 ack BernadetteLoscio 20:39:01 BernadetteLoscio: I talked about the identifiers section at the end of the meeting 20:39:23 ... I was reading the SDW doc. You have some BPs for identifiers that are similar or that cover things that we don't cover 20:39:51 ... And I was wondering ... what I'm worried about is that we have BPs that are similar in 2 different documents. Maybe we're going to have a common audience 20:40:46 ... I think for e.g. you haev BP1 on gloablly unique identifiers and we have BP11 on persistent IDs for datasets. We don't have anything like your BP2 20:41:04 ... So is there a way for us to refer to your doc? Can we cooperate more closely? 20:41:13 q+ 20:41:13 ... For e.g. BP2 is not specifically spatial 20:41:14 q? 20:41:14 (we are without numbering in our BPs for while, so, for now, its easier to see the index on this page: http://w3c.github.io/dwbp/bp-status.html ) 20:41:21 ack Linda 20:41:51 Linda: What we tried to do in SDW is that it's an extension of DWBP 20:41:58 ... We want to avoid having similar BPs. 20:42:28 ... What we have is a first draft. There are thing there that I don't think are specifically spatial, so if we can move some of our BPs to your doc, that makes sense to me 20:42:31 q+ 20:42:37 s/haev/have/g 20:42:39 BernadetteLoscio: Thank you 20:42:47 Linda: Then we'd have to discuss which ones. 20:43:02 BernadetteLoscio: I think we have to have this discussion in our WG too of course. It woujld be good to align them. 20:43:25 BernadetteLoscio: We discussed this in our WG - how our BPs can be extended in specific domains anda SDW will be one of those. 20:43:37 Linda: That's interesting as we're alreadyt doing and we can describe how to do it.# 20:43:38 ack kerry 20:43:54 q+ 20:43:58 Linda: So at the moment, when we think there's an overlap, we make a reference to you 20:44:03 ack an 20:44:06 ack annette_g 20:44:18 q+ 20:44:18 q? 20:44:25 annette_g: I was just going to say that SDW has used references, that's fine - I don't think we need to do anythign spedcial with that 20:44:28 ack BernadetteLoscio 20:44:45 s/anythign spedcial/anything special/g 20:44:53 BernadetteLoscio: I was saying that the idea of using references is all right but they have some BPs that we don't haev but that maybe we shuold have 20:44:55 annette_g: +1 20:45:06 BernadetteLoscio: The ones they have shoujld be more specific 20:45:13 annette_g: Sounds like everyone agrees with that 20:45:18 s/shoujld/should/g 20:45:19 q+ to makea boring process comment 20:45:29 ack phila 20:45:29 phila, you wanted to makea boring process comment 20:47:06 ok... i understand 20:47:31 q+ 20:47:38 ack BernadetteLoscio 20:47:40 phila: 20:48:23 Talked about need for implementation evidnce requirements in DWBP and the fact that SDW is a joint Wg with OGC which *may* have an effect - certaunly we need to be aware of it if moving content 20:48:47 BernadetteLoscio: Did you find a gap in our doc about linking data? 20:49:22 Linda: hard for me to answer as Jeremy wrote that. It says that it extends your BP. It talks about linking at data level, you ytalk about dataset level 20:49:24 q+ 20:49:32 ack phila 20:49:33 ack phila 20:50:09 q+ 20:50:24 phila: That sounds like the BP I wrote needs more work 20:51:04 BernadetteLoscio: Not sure we havae one about link creation 20:51:36 action: phila To look at data item linking cf SDW BP on this topic and see if more needs to be done 20:51:37 Created ACTION-148 - Look at data item linking cf sdw bp on this topic and see if more needs to be done [on Phil Archer - due 2016-03-09]. 20:51:55 BernadetteLoscio: We dodn't talk about links because we dodn't want to be biased to RDF 20:51:58 ack AndreaPerego 20:52:00 ack annette_g 20:52:01 ack an 20:52:19 annette_g: Were SDW thinking about hypermedia APIs for that or something else? 20:52:30 Linda: I don't have that in my mind 20:52:44 q? 20:52:51 q+ 20:53:06 ChrisLittle: A lot of spatial data is complex, lots of objects in a box anbd you want to pick those out. That's not really hypermedia 20:53:28 annette_g: We've been adding a little more about hypermedia APIs and we are trying to say mnore about that 20:53:29 ack BernadetteLoscio 20:53:39 q+ 20:54:05 ChrisLittle: I don't think we've talked about streaming at all. If we do then we would get into hypermedia 20:54:38 annette_g: Our discussion isn't about streaming, it's about an API that returns links as well as data 20:54:44 q- 20:54:44 ack a 20:55:47 kerry: There was one more topic that, about data quality. Is there sometehign we can do about that. Do we need anotehr meeting? 20:56:05 BernadetteLoscio: I think it's better to meet about that separately with those editors (who aren't here) 20:56:23 q+ 20:56:30 Linda: I could get involved with that. We have to make some recommendations about precision and accuracy and I think the DQV could help us with that. 20:57:48 action: phila to put Linda in touch with Antoine and Riccardo 20:57:48 Created ACTION-149 - Put linda in touch with antoine and riccardo [on Phil Archer - due 2016-03-09]. 20:58:00 Topic: next meetings 20:58:15 kerry: No joint meeting next week, but the sub groups should meet 20:58:35 ... Ed and I will try and join those calls 20:59:01 kerry: We can use this IRC channel and the agendas and minutes can go in the same system as we use for the group. 20:59:16 ... The meetings are open to all, they're just specialised to SDW. 20:59:20 +1 to kerry re minutes irc etc 20:59:50 kerry: Any more comments? 20:59:55 bye 20:59:57 ok thanks, bye 20:59:58 bye, and thanks! 20:59:59 bye 21:00:00 ...
