last week started w. license issues

Ivan got us legal advice from W3C

Leo talked w. Rigo Wenning re. license advice

got some feedback from people re. data sources and licenses to use

Leo will forward this info to the list

CC license is what people want

"gather info now, let's visualise afterwards"

will continue info-gathering as it is, providing all the data about SemWeb in RDF

as a 2nd step we work on annotating, filtering and cleaning this data, and visualising it

can even make a new task force for this task

Susie: what a data format will be finished

Leo: we need time. not so many edits on data formats page

great if someone could make a good HowTo on the wiki

on info gathering and formats to use, Leo?

<leobard> http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/InfoGathering/DataVocabulary

kidehen: do we need a text on the wiki saying "here's the guide for publishing the data"?

yes

definitive statement how to contribute data to this effort

<kidehen> kidehen: agrees to do how-to contribute RDF Data to Info Gathering effort

leobard published a URL fo the wiki page, need some editors for it

kidehen will start the edits on it

others can / should join

Logos

bengee gives an overview

<bengee> http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/Misc/LogoIdeas

#9 and #10 are variations of what was decided the last call

#9 by Kingsley with a lighter font

discussion

Susie: #9 and #10 are nice. good progress.

uldis: #6 stands out more than #10

Susie: maybe have 2 different options to use according to what background they are on

ivan: has bengee tried to reduce #10 to smaller versions like we had for #6

small versions is what one will use on many pages. how does that look w. #10

<scribe> ACTION: bengie to make smaller versions of #10 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/04/04-sweo-minutes.html#action02]

ivan more in favor of #10. more appealing for esthetics.

nice progress, need to get the small size and then we're done

Misc

please let know if you can make it to F2F at the end of this month

FAQ - please look it over and provide comments

discussion of any other business

wing - putting together a presentation for ...

ivan - arranging to meet up with ...

<wing> yue pan in china

next Tue is a monthly Cambridge area SemWeb meetup

if you are in the area, that's a good event to participate in

<wing> wing - presentation for SICoP

Susie tells about the case studies

couple of pages, to help CEO and CIO see how to make use of the Semantic Web

F2F is to get all of us together in one room, focused to do SWEO work

ivan: experience when meeting w. industries is - they want to see some kind of proof that somebody is already using this technology for making money

until now no such a list, Ivan has some pointers which are in presentations here and there

having clear use cases, signed by companies themselves is an important thing to answer these questions

they will be public documents

http://www.icwsm.org/blog/index.html

1st International Conf. on Weblogs and Social Media

a conference to keep an eye on. there are things how this area can benefit from the SemWeb and structured data, but more outreach needed

community projects summary

Thalia project (-> http://esw.w3.org/topic/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData/THALIATestbed)

within Linking OpenData project will inject RDF/OWL

will have a generic testbed for RDF / SemWeb tech.

another project ...

financial data

kidehen: if you can put project names in IRC

ontology to query financial and economic data

those 2 efforts have come in to a particular project

Karen is trying to build contact with different financial institutions via W3C

would be good if kidehen help in making these contacts

send all this information to Karen

we need not only a creation of ontology but a use case where it is used

kidehen: the particular case is describing creation of ontology

ivan: a use case is a step further - that an institution is already using this data

kidehen: the delay between an ontology and creation of instance data will be very short

will revisit this next week

XBRL
