FINAL REPORT - DRAFT

<emma> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-lld/2011May/0055.html

<scribe> ACTION: Digikim to update the transcluded version of the report by Wed Apr 13 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/minutes/2011/04/07-lld-minutes.html#action06] [DONE]

Emma: action is done

<emma> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-lld/2011May/0051.html

<scribe> ACTION: Antoine and Emmanuelle to talk about strategies for getting comments at next call [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/minutes/2011/05/19-lld-minutes.html#action15] [CONTINUES]

Antoine:there was a suggestion about using a system that allows to comment on each paragraphs

... found a system used by JISC

Kcoyle: asking about time period of review

Emma: we need to get more people in the review process
... in the group there were people involved in the edited writing.
... may need to extend to beyond the group members
... by the end of August, try to get the comments
... try to identify one or two reviewers to particular section, invite them, like a peer-review process
... suggestion on how to proceed
... extend to mid-August

Karen: thinking of more general community feedback
... what the library community thinks of this
... people will feel that they are involved.
... reading report as the general content
... Maybe we should send to a number of lists and events to get people aware
... tell people to propose to the list

<edsu> +1 # karen's suggestion to get the full report out in front of a lot of people as a draft

Karen: need to make sure they feel they are heard

Emma: need to implment a tool to be able to comment on the wiki

Karen: many people do not have account on wiki may not to bother to do that

<edsu> kcoyle: just as an aside, this #wwic (why wasn't i consulted) is a nice essay about the importance of this :) http://www.ftrain.com/wwic.html

Karen: maybe should be on the email
... send a call, telling people to put the words about the commenting in the subject line

<tbaker> +1 to handling comments on email, encouraging specific subject lines

Antoine: wonder if Karen see the system I mentioned.
... it was easy to enter
... writing next to the paragraph

<edsu> antoine: which one did you find?

*ed: http://digress.it/

Karen: something like that will be good, but maybe a bit more work

<emma> JISC using the system : http://rdtfmetadata.jiscpress.org/

Antoine: one can see other people's comments together using this tool.

Karen: Jodi replied that there are tools that help to do the reviews.

<jodi> besides digress.it, there is commentpress

<jodi> http://commentpress.com

<jodi> probably others, too

<jodi> right, http://rdtfmetadata.jiscpress.org/ is using http://digress.it

Karen: those are wordpress based ones

Emma: comments on different sections -- move on

<jodi> one concern raised (by Antoine?) was they encourage paragraph-level review, over gestalt/overall review

<jodi> antoine: sorry, I'm travelling the next 3 weeks, I can't do that.

<antoine> @jodi: me too, I understand :-)

<jodi> antoine: however, my impression is that it's just a wordpress plugin, so anybody reasonably comfortable with that would probably be able to admin

<jodi> antoine: the harder questions are sociotechnical -- where do you put it (so that it's public in the long-term, doesn't disappear)

<jodi> antoine: would be bad to mint lots of non-cool URIs! :)

ACTION: everyone to read http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Benefits#.22Library_Linked_Data.22:_Scope_of_this_report and do lightweight review [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/minutes/2011/05/19-lld-minutes.html#action04] [CONTINUES]

<emma> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-lld/2011May/0048.html

Emma: Jodi initiated the discussion

... asking for comments

Tom: reading through dataset examples ... they can also be digital resources

<kcoyle> actually, 'sound recordings' in library records can be digital

Tom: so I edited the description of them

<edsu> Tom++ # you added mp3 i guess?

<antoine> jodi: I could ask Europena, maybe...

<kcoyle> it's just that's only obvious to librarians/catalogers :-)

<scribe> -- CONTINUES

<jodi> antoine: that would be great :)

<edsu> kcoyle: books can be electronic too :)

<scribe> ACTION: Tom to ask Hideaki or Dickson to review http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Benefits [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/minutes/2011/05/19-lld-minutes.html#action06] [CONTINUES]

Tom: Time is too short for them to review it within this week. I did my review and posted the results before this call.
... invite to take a look at the section that made changes

Emma: some feedback, on broadern the general benefits of LD

Tom: oriented to URIs, emphasized on resources are made more accessible
... Karen's points on what organizations gain from LD seemed to be done mostly. Other comments?

Karen: It was not missing some content there, but there need to have more emphasis. People (like managers) may never heard about 'URI'... Maybe says "using LD technologies, you can get these, these, and these..."

... 'URI' may confuse people

... emphasis should be reversed
... changing the wording --
... open the section with what you get, not with how you get it.
... not the process.

Jeff: maybe emphasize linking

<rsinger> +1 linking

<rsinger> and also identifiers

<rsinger> other than uris

Ed: agree with Karen.
... target to managers, 'URI' might be confusing.
... later in the report to talk about how to link, not at the beginning of the report.

<kcoyle> yes, talk about identifiers, not URIs

<edsu> +1

Tom: URI is pretty central. The concept of globally unique identifiers is central; it is important for understanding other benefits.
... There could be changes of the wording.

Karen: good idea to talk about identifiers
... a little bit cross to what LD is

michael: need to be careful, though.
... the way of transforming those unique identifiers to the URIs still need work
... be careful about the wording

Emma: maybe need other suggestions.

Ed: suggest Karen to draft, change the background.

<rsinger> sam here

<rsinger> er

<rsinger> sa,e

<rsinger> gah

<antoine> :-)

Karen: will take a stand on that

Ed: Karen: position them in the way you talked about them is good

<edsu> kcoyle++ # thanks!

<scribe> ACTION: Karen to edit the Benefits section [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/minutes/2011/05/26-lld-minutes.html#action06]

<michaelp> Example for a UUID URI: urn:uuid:7673868d-231e-490d-9c4f-19288e7e668d

<ACTION: Ed to review http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Draft_Vocabularies_Datasets_Section next Tuesday for discussion on Thursday [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/minutes/2011/05/19-lld-minutes.html#action08] [CONTINUES]

Ed: need to spend more time
... In general, they are very good
... vocabularies and the links with the cases are useful
... the overview are in both documents
... the one that goes on to the report has the 'observations' which are very good
... will email more
... one question is about the distinguishing between value vocabularies and datasets

http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Draft_Vocabularies_Datasets_Section
... is it OK to think both
... summary of importance of linking. Very nice.
... Regarding how the linking is happening in the domain, maybe give example of some projects-- frameworks to help people to link things
... highlight some those projects.

<antoine> SILK (from LOD2)

scribe: will send email about them

<antoine> thanks, ed!

<jeff_> http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Draft_Vocabularies_Datasets_Section#An_inventory_of_existing_library_linked_data_resources

Jeff: about the definitions. Tried to come up with the words to explain that value vocabularies can be some kinds of datasets.

Antoine: there are some datasets can be used as value vocabularies, e.g., Freebase
... will spend sometime again to write, help the understanding

Jeff: had a point about these could be thought of datasets

Ed: might be important to emphasize that things can be fuzzy

Emma: maybe find people as targets and have them to read and review the section.

<kcoyle> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-lld/2011May/0053.html

<edsu> re: "These are classified into three main groups: metadata element sets, value vocabularies, and datasets." doesn't sound fuzzy to me

<scribe> ACTION: Karen to review http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Draft_Relevant_Technologies for next week [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/minutes/2011/05/19-lld-minutes.html#action09] [DONE]

Karen: should add some types of technologies that target to different users
... e.g., include technologies for metadata developers, not instance creators

<tbaker> Maybe add a reference to the tool Ed mentioned - "framework to help people link things"?

Jeff: some of the things Karen listed are similar to what were listed in 'tools' section.

<tbaker> Ed, do you have a link for that?

ACTION: Antoine to review http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Draft_issues_page for next week [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/minutes/2011/05/19-lld-minutes.html#action11] [DONE]

<antoine> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-lld/2011May/0072.html

Antoine: document is long, and I couldn't help reading the detail. I will send email later with comments on details.
... but I like it, really well written, the 'problems' made clear ... perhaps too clear as the tone of the section is quite negative (and for good reasons) ... especially, it does not mention that some initatives happened, even if prototypes ... and some headings and sentences are quite bold (cf. Jodi's comment) ... so the section succeeds, but it makes me feel our efforts are doomed ;-) ... there could be some words changed, to instill hope ... perhaps it would be good also to connect individual issues to individual recommendations

<kcoyle> :-)

<edsu> hope++

Karen: those of us who worked on the recommendations realized to go back to the issues too.

<tbaker> kcoyle, jodi - a good place to pick up on our next call (Draft_issues)

Emma: We have reached to the end of the hour... will leave two more reviews to discuss next time.

<jodi> tbaker: sure. I'm booked out until LOD-LAM, though

Emma: close the actions that people already reported, re: reviews

<jodi> tbaker: don't feel the need to wait for me

<emma> Still to be discussed : Recommendation section and Use case report
