    <phila> scribeNick: Kjanowic

    Is anybody willing to model actuation in SSN

    <ahaller2> Kjanowic: I volunteered, but we had other
    conversations in between

    <ahaller2> Kjanowic: until next telco

    <Zakim> Kerry, you wanted to remark I think maxime did that
    yesterday

    kjanowic to draft SSN axioms on Actuators and Actuation for
    next week

    Kerry: can kjanowic look into the proposal of Maxime?

    kjanowic: yes

    ahaller2: yes, let's see what else is out there

    yes

Create Options for the modelling of Results/Values in SOSA and SSN
[17]https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/90 (create Action
Item)

      [17] https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/90

    Ahaller2: a lot of discussion of how to model values and
    results n SOSA and SSN
    ... Danh willlook into the results/values issue and coordinate
    with kjanowic

    Danh: Yes, I will do so and review the material and work with
    kjanowic. I will create a wikipage as overview.

    Ahaller2: In general using wikipages for all these subtasks
    would be good.

3. Create Options for the modelling of Processes/Procedures in SOSA
and SSN [21]https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/89 (create
Action Item)

      [21] https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/89

    Ahaller2: we changed back and forth between processes and
    procedures.

    <kerry> sorry folks -- lost all power to house

    Ahaller2: what we currently have currently is a procedure as
    the description of workflows, e.g. like recipe.
    ... I can look into this

    <ahaller2> ACTION: Armin Create to create options for the
    modelling of Processes/Procedures in SOSA and SSN

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-265 - Create to create options for
    the modelling of processes/procedures in sosa and ssn
    [24]https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/89 (create
    action item) [on Armin Haller - due 2017-02-14].

      [24] https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/89

    <Zakim> kerry, you wanted to ask for current topic

    Ahaller2: we are currently assigning action items

    <ahaller2> Create Options for alignment on Platform class
    (create Action Item)

Create Options for alignment on Platform class (create Action Item)

    Ahaller2: we had many discussions around the concept of a
    platform.

    <ahaller2>
    [25]https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Proposals_for_rewritin
    g_SSN

      [25] https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Proposals_for_rewriting_SSN

    Ahaller2: one such proposal was by kerry.

    kerry: that was really only an example
    ... the point I was trying to make was the style, not the
    concrete example
    ... I think we lost a bit of that original proposal made by
    kjanowic at the very beginning

    Ahaller2: about namespaces?

    kerry: the example I gave works in both ways

    Ahaller2: not sure what you mean?

    SimonCox: Kerry, have you looked at the work we did before on
    that?

    Kerry: bidirectional interoperability is lost now from kjanowic
    original proposal
    ... we probably gave up on horizontal by now but the proposal
    as such is still valid

    Ahaller2: please let us get back to ‘platform’
    ... namespaces will be discussed next week

    Kerry: not about namespaces

    Ahaller2: we want to discuss ‘platform’ now

    let's get back on topic guys....

    Ahaller2: we looked at architecture last week, but we got stuck
    at namespaces. We will discuss this next time.

    lets get back to the topic and also note that other people are
    on the call

    Kerry talks about properties of her suggested approach

    <roba> its when restrictions change semantics, rather than
    axiomitize them that this gets messy

    Kerry: I have a well worked proposal for platform

    <kerry> no!!!!

    ahaller2: kerry, so please tell us about your platform idea

    kerry, please lets get less emotional

    <ahaller2>
    [26]https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Proposals_for_rewritin
    g_SSN

      [26] https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Proposals_for_rewriting_SSN

    ahaller2: we already agreed on the fact that ssn will import
    sosa

    <rtroncy> Can someone summarize what is the exact issue with
    the definition of a "Platform" ? (regardless where this term
    will be defined or refined)

    Ahaller2: please look at the proposal and just extract the
    platform part.

    rtroncy has a question and I believe it is important

    there are more people on this call...

    Kerry: it is all already there
    ... should I do a change list

    ahaller2: make a wiki/example for platform only

    <ahaller2> Kjanowic: if we look at the mapping, the SSN
    definition for Platform is more generic

    <ahaller2> Kjanowic: SOSA should be more generic in its
    annotation

    <ahaller2> Kjanowic: axiomatically they are equivalent

    rtroncy: kjanowic answered the question [difficult to
    understand...]

    <kerry> issue-88?

    <trackbot> issue-88 -- Why is a sosa-core platofrm completely
    different to an ssn:platform? -- open

    <trackbot> [27]http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/88

      [27] http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/88

    kjanowic was tring to answer rtroncy question

    <rtroncy> I also asked whether the problem was not described in
    issue-88?

    <rtroncy> It seems so ...

    Ahaller2: can you make one wikipage just for ssn and sosa
    platform without the general architecture, just the platform.

    <ahaller2> ACTION: Kerry to Create change list for alignment on
    Platform class in a seperate wiki page [recorded in
    [28]http://www.w3.org/2017/02/07-sdwssn-minutes.html#action04]

      [28] http://www.w3.org/2017/02/07-sdwssn-minutes.html#action04]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-266 - Create change list for
    alignment on platform class in a seperate wiki page [on Kerry
    Taylor - due 2017-02-14].

    Ahaller2: next topic o&m alignment

Vote on how to use annotation properties for examples in SOSA/SSN

    Ahaller2: let us briefly talk about annotation properties for
    examples in SOSA/SSN
    ... idea was to split definition and example.

    <ahaller2> Option 1: Use skos:example in SOSA/SSN and declare
    it an owl annotation property

    Ahaller2: this is especially important for sosa due to less
    axioms

    <ahaller2> Option 2: Define our own annotation property -- e.g.
    sosa/ssn:example

    ahaller: please vote on option 1

    <ahaller2> Proposed: Use skos:example in SOSA/SSN and declare
    it an owl annotation property

    <rtroncy2> +1

    <DanhLePhuoc> +1

    <SimonCox> +1

    <RaulGarciaCastro> +1

    +1

    <laurent_oz> 0

    <ahaller2> +1

    <kerry> +1 subject to not importing skos

    <roba> +1

    <ScottSimmons> +1

    Ahaller2: do we want to import skos?

    <rtroncy2> There is no need to import

    <ahaller2> Option: Import or not import SKOS?

    <SimonCox> -1 no import of skos

    <RaulGarciaCastro> -1

    kjanowic: if we only use skos:example there is not need to
    import

    <ahaller2> PROPOSE: If skos:example is the only class/property
    in either SSN or SOSA we do not import SKOS

    +1

    <phila> +1

    <kerry> +1

    <rtroncy2> +1

    <ahaller2> +1

    <RaulGarciaCastro> +1

    <roba> +1

    <DanhLePhuoc> +1

    <ScottSimmons> +1

    <phila> I see no reason to import SKOS

    <laurent_oz> no import (but more general concern about the
    compatibility of reuse of schema.org meta-model and use of skos
    (e.g. like in RDF data cube)

    <SimonCox> +1 - I would extend to any SKOS annotation property

    <ahaller2> Kjanowic: what about multiple examples?

    <SimonCox> i.e. I would say would could use any SKOS annotation
    property without importing SKOS

    <ScottSimmons> I must leave the meeting, if things come down to
    close votes, SimonCox has my proxy

    <phila> +1 SimonCox

    +1 SimonCox

    laurent_oz: [too much noise]

    <rtroncy2> Raphael: yes, we could make multiple occurrences of
    skos:example but I would like to remind that they are just
    annotation properties and as such, there could be redundancy in
    the information.

    SimonCox: the way you posed the issue was limited to only
    skos:example. If we talk about annotation properties, we have
    no problem anyway. We can use any of the skos annotation
    properties withou the need to import.

    <rtroncy2> Raphael: I would therefore just use one occurrence
    of the property even if it gathers multiple examples in the
    literal

    ahaller2: let us make this another agenda item

    Kerry: we should have multiple skos:example triples when needed

    <ahaller2> PROPOSE: use multiple skos:example annotation
    properties where necessary

    I am also in favor of multiple examples being possible

    <roba> +1 for all annotations : i think its consistency
    requirement - we need to follow the same pattern - so i think
    the vote implies the default position is we should treat all
    skos annotations the same way

    <SimonCox> +1

    <ahaller2> +1

    +1

    <DanhLePhuoc> +1

    <rtroncy2> 0

    <kerry> +1

    <laurent_oz> +1 to multiple examples (but also keen on having
    other resources to learn from outside the ontology)

    <RaulGarciaCastro> +1

    <roba> +1

O&M alignment options as of Simon's email in response to ACTION-255
(and proposal to invite Simon as editor to solve this and other
issues)

    Ahaller2: let us move to O&M alignment

    SimonCox: I did this on github but just posted the text in an
    email so that you can all look at it.

    <ahaller2> SimonCox: email to the list Tue, 7 Feb 2017 21:36:29
    +0000

    SimonCox: there is an officially endorsed version of how to
    convert from UML to URLs (by ISO)

    <SimonCox>
    [29]https://github.com/ISO-TC211/GOM/tree/master/isotc211_GOM_h
    armonizedOntology/19156/2011

      [29] 
https://github.com/ISO-TC211/GOM/tree/master/isotc211_GOM_harmonizedOntology/19156/2011

    SimonCox: my proposal is to use those URIs for the alignment
    ... this enables us to express the alignment in a pretty
    compact way and not just text

    <kerry> simon, did you mean alignment from sosa to ssn as you
    said?

    SimonCox: the question really is whether the official ISO URIs
    are suitable to denote the UML classes and properties.
    ... would this become normative or not.
    ... om-lite could also be added as note

    <Zakim> kerry, you wanted to coment on what an O&M alignment
    looks like

    <DanhLePhuoc> +q

    SimonCox both SOSA and SSN

    Kerry: I get the URL idea but this is really ugly.
    ... Alternative is to use the OGC O&M specs and do any
    alignment to O&M by text

    SimonCox: the OWL you get from the automatic conversion is ugly
    but I am not suggesting that. I am focusing on the nice side
    effect of minting URLs and those are defined in a standard and
    are canonical.

    <laurent_oz> 1: tried to derive graphics out of the ISO .ttl
    (result not very good) 2. am now looking at the published UML -
    found that here was also "implementation" packages in it 3.
    questions to Simon: are there plan to publish O&M in this
    branch of HMMG (this could be the best source to derive OWL
    from).

    <laurent_oz> Also: they are official URIs but very badly
    defined (need some tidying)

    Roba: the alignment is a separate document. It is my
    understanding that it does not effect SSN or SOSA axioms

    simoncox: no, same document
    ... but yes, this does not change sosa/ssn

    <ahaller2> ahaller2

    Roba: the intention is just to use the URIs?

    <ahaller2> ahaller2: it is not a vote yet on if it is normative
    or non-normative

    <laurent_oz> ... e.g. when I say tidying, I mean tracking the
    official prefixes and removing the ones which have number at
    the end.

    simonCox: yes, that is the idea

    Roba: last comment. Skos notations could be used here.
    ... SKOS notation not annotation.
    ... I am just saying that this is an option.

    <SimonCox> laurent_oz: don't intend to do anything with the
    prefixes. Use the official ISO URIs

    <Zakim> kerry, you wanted to cjeck thatthose uris are
    resolvable

    kjanowic: simon's proposal is to establish formal relations
    between the URIs and classes and properties in SOSA/SSN

    Kerry: These URIs are not resolvable.

    <laurent_oz> Simon, sometimes a nice prefix is used in some
    places and a different one is used elsewhere: my idea is to use
    the most recognisable one (so that in the future if we have a
    better OWL version it will use the same prefixes (likely) and
    so our work will not be lost.

    kerry: fine with me but may be a problem for ssn

    laurent_oz: I tried to look into this and visualize it but that
    was not easy. Do we know what is on the horizon for O&M?

    SimonCox: this is a persistent standard in its own right.

    <ahaller2> kerry: was pointing out the non-resolving of URIs
    may be an issue for W3C, check with Phila

    laurent_oz: not all of them are easily readable URLs

    <ahaller2> URIs are restricted to
    [30]https://github.com/ISO-TC211/GOM/tree/master/isotc211_GOM_h
    armonizedOntology/19156/2011, is this correct, Simon?

      [30] 
https://github.com/ISO-TC211/GOM/tree/master/isotc211_GOM_harmonizedOntology/19156/2011,

    <roba> Agree with Simon regarding the appropriateness of the
    URI, and there is a bigger question about OGC/ISO definitions
    space- alignment with specref may provide a good solution here
    IMHO

Proposed time slots for extended phone conference mid-February

    Ahaller2: last topic for having longer meetings, e.g., some
    time in Feb.
    ... I will prepare a doodle.
    ... this is just about mappings, i.e., alignment. nothing more

    bye bye

    <kerry> bye!

    <RaulGarciaCastro> Bye

    <DanhLePhuoc> bye bye
