<kjetilk> http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData

nxt: linked data got lots of cimmitments

commitments even

<kjetilk> http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/FOAFWhitelisting

foaf whitelisting as well

<kjetilk> http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/MediaWidgets

<kjetilk> http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/HistoryBookForTomorrow

the 4 projects just pasted by kjetilk have commitments

<leobard> question asked: what should we do now given the projects at hand?

ivan: asks for kjetil's next step plans

<leobard> kjetilk: the data projects are promising

kjetilk: try to make projects proceed somehow, maybe give some exposure already

susie: maybe the rest of the group could have a look at the list and collect some comments wrt chance to being successful etc

<leobard> susie: next week we can select which project we support

ivan: linked data seems to have the largest impact, but may not really match the idea of convincing outsiders, as its more data oriented, not really app-focused

<leobard> ivan: the "linking open data" project's value is only for semantic web geeks.

<LeeF> +1 to ivan's take on the projects

ivan: on the other hand: an excellent project that may be a prerequisite for other ones

<leobard> ivan: we want to have several projects we give publicity

<leobard> ivan: not only one or two projects

<wing> nice, kjetilk

kjetilk: agrees with ivan that his project is, without being biased, is more useful for the showing side
... ;)

susie: there will probably a list of several projects (not just one)

*be* a list of

<kjetilk> +1

scribe: adds a personal suggestion wrt to the community projects
... that the group creates some sort of voting
... maybe anonymously

<kjetilk> +1 for trusting Susie

susie: maybe just send it to her and she will put it in a spreadsheet
... general agreement

PaulaP: whether voting is one-per-person only

susie: any input should be welcome

Info gathering

leobard: not much progress on infogathering, but looks pretty done for the first step
... will update the wiki pages and pings the list for a review

<Zakim> kjetilk, you wanted to say that I might not be here next week

Ivan and Kjetilk will probably not be available next week

Survey

Karen ad wing on enterprise survey, candidates for use cases

scribe: not much news, but positive feedback from within w3c so far

(if I got that right)

Use cases

susie pinged several companies (pfizer?, agfa, ) for use case (or case studies?) examples

agfa's jos de roo has already written some things

<leobard> susie: we received a use case description, but it was too scientific

scribe: could use that as a starting point
... not response from DigitalHarbour yet
... ora lassila responded for nokia
... there is a project within nokia, but he'll have to forward the request
... BT
... EPA
... work that could be useful, would be interested
... in general: pretty positive feedback

scribe: wants to make sure that the ourput is going to be tailored to groups like CIOs, CTOs, etc
