RESOLUTION: Accept previous minutes

F2F in Cologne

Antoine: Small, informal mtg in Cologne

<antoine>

Antoine: Talked about topics of incubator group
... and future outcomes of the group
... perhaps it would be best to distribute a written report

Tomb: let's discuss the issue of terminology
... but first attend to current agenda items
... maybe in next calls we establish shared terminology

antoine: met for 4 hours

tomb: should we continue with agenda and distribute notes by another method

JISC Open Bibliographic Data Guide

antoine: participants believe it best to conduct conversation via email
... and only later talk about specific items on calls

tomb: discuss in future calls
... keep placemarker for future calls

CITATION CLUSTER

<kai> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MhYl8Iz8raHA0M7jnHrzwiC_MmXnDM4aNG2ymVCz9rM/edit?hl=en&authkey=CKzY3YQH

kai: problems defining what was expected from cluster
... would like feedback from group
... began by defining a citation
... based on use cases, concluded needed a broader definition than just something bibliograrphic
... discussed scope of cluster
... citing, citations, citation format, link/cite difference, and backlinks in scope
... out of scope: defining new citation representations
... also identified citation granularity as relevant
... level 1 is a basic string in the text of a publication
... level 2 is a structured citation
... level 3 actually linked citation
... identified a few additional use cases
... ability to register agreeement/disagreement with citation
... and jumping to cited resource are two examples

<markva> this appears to overlap with Goals and Scenario (emma's suggestion)

kai: next step is to extract requirements from these added use cases.
... provided a section detailing existing technologies and vocabularies that may be helpful moving forward
... also identified new questions that may need to be addressed

TomB: good start. I see a definition of citations in the scope of linked data. What is the function of a citation in linked data and how can that function be achieved (uris are one way)?
... What other ways might there be to identify citations in a linked data environment?
... I would expect citation cluster to frame the problem of what is a citation in a LD context and then look at use cases to determine the ways and methods that are employed to address problem.

kai: I'd like to take a step back and ask what we hope to achieve with the documents we're producing about the clusters

<markva> +1

kai: We certainly need our own definition for citations in linked data

TomB: It is important to start with defining a citation in light of linked data adn then go on to explore how that is manifested in the use cases
... Why work in the Google Docs enviro versus XG wiki?

<edsu> better for live editing ...

TomB: Technical reason or a desire not to show work-in-progress

<jeff_> better for simultaneous collaborative editing

kai: We'll be moving to Wiki soon.

edsu: Thanks kai for thorough description of our work to-date. TomB, I hear your concerns. In my mind, LD is a technology and one that can be used to represent citations. But, w/o knowing what a citation is in the absence of technology, we can't identify the needs for LD.

<TomB> +1 to define citations generically before saying what they mean in the linked data context

markva: Lots of interesting material. procedural question: If you merge into Wiki, will it break into different sections?
... What is the structure of the document we're all working toward based on the clusters.

<antoine> I think the 'extracted use cases' are indeed Emma's 'scenarios'

TomB: Could be useful to have a scaffolding of subsections, with idea that for final report we cut out superfluous sub-headings

markva: I don't know if I understand. We only have structure for use cases.

TomB: Let's not worry about establishing a formal template for the cluster reports right now.

<markva> ZAKIM< MUTE ME

TomB: INclined to let groups develop a structure best-suited to their findings
... Let's get it on paper and then determine areas of overlap and streamlined organization

edsu: I want to echo Mark's points.
... If there is a specific goal for hte group, it would help the groups focus their work.

<antoine> +1

<pmurray> I agree with edsu; more structure would have been helpful for our conversation.

edsu: Otherwise, the disparity in the resulting documents might require a great deal of massaging in the end.

antoine: I agree fully with Ed.

<edsu> +1

<edsu> :-)

<kai> +1, but maybe we should have the presentation of a very different cluster first to see the differences and similarities.

TomB: Believes groups need some latitude in creating their reports.
... But, perhaps, we could work to identify 3 or 4 headings that might be shared across all the groups.
... Is this a reasonable compromise. We don't lose time defining a template, but we do determine a few headings that apply across all the clusters.

<pmurray> I agree, if it can be done at this point.

edsu: I think this would be useful, especially if we can identify the 3 or 4 headings quickly

<markva> +1

edsu: This would help to provide some guidance to the others.

<antoine> +q

TomB: nearing the end. Anything else?

antoine: I have two headings: I like hte relevant technologies/vocabularies section.

what was teh other?

<kai> Extracted Use Cases / Scenarios, however we name it

antoine: for a third, I like the background definitions. Such as, in the citation example, where what a citation is defined - the intoductory section
... the second was the extracted use cases / scenarios section

edsu: Kai, Peter, and I can rework the document to fit the proposed headings

<edsu> i have 1) Background 2) Topic in the Context of Linked Data 3) Scenarios (Extracted Use Cases) 4) Relevant Technologies Vocabularies

<scribe> ACTION: Citation cluster group to place Google Docs document into XG Wiki [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/12/02-lld-minutes.html#action01]

<edsu> markva: would be interested to hear if this fits how you've been thinking about it

PAUL WALK'S TOOL AND ANALYSIS

TomB: Must this remain on the agenda?
... I propose we remove it otherwise.

<Asaf_> +1

<edsu> +1

<scribe> ACTION: Remove PAUL WALK'S TOOL AND ANALYSIS from Agenda [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/12/02-lld-minutes.html#action02]

DRAFT OUTLINE FOR FINAL REPORT

<antoine>

antoine: Two primary topics for the draft that we think we're missing, related to education and outreach
... firstly, wanted to emphasize opportunities of LD for libraries and other users. We need some scenarios demonstrating _why_ a library would want to do LD
... a type of benefits section at the front of report
... targeting library managers/administrators
... secondly, education. Guenther was interested in what the curricula for training or what the qualifications a library professional would need for LD
... Guenther is going to establish a Wiki page for this.

<pmurray> That is huge, and important.

TomB: Propose we put an intro section into the report outline with and Education section

<markva> bye

<danbri> yay, my first LLD call. all of 13 minutes!

<digikim> thanks

<TomB> ACTION: Antoine to add "LOD curriculum" into "recommendations" section of Outline, and benefits into an Introduction [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/12/02-lld-minutes.html#action03]
