<cgueret_home> hi
cygri: skos extensions and DDI (??) discussion
<George_> http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/ISO_Extensions_to_SKOS
* DDI -> std used in social sciences etc for data collection
* how to represent classfications systems in RDF
* some concerns re: expressivity of SKOS
<ZacharyWhitley> DDI = Data Documentation Initiative
* example: some specification systems require multiple "levels" : sectors, sub-sectors, etc; other similar examples
* group looked at properties/classes that could me added to skos to capure this info
* group came up with small number of things that, if added, would allow SKOS to capture a large number of things
<George_> http://www.ddialliance.org/
<George_> http://www.iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=20057
<George_> the turtle file is visible here - http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/ISO_Extensions_to_SKOS
* created: short report, TTL file with extensions (not published), currently email discussions on how to proceed
* effect would be: publishers and maintainers of high-end classification systems would be willing to publish in RDF
<bkaempgen> +q
george -> actual proposed TTL is above ("ISO_Extensions...")
Q: What list is discussionon A: it's currently "private"
?? is working with MS student on related problem, would be useful to participate
??+1 notes that some of this discussion will be happening on "Open Gov Vocab Mailing List"
?? is Benedict (nick???)
??+1 is Cory (nick????)
<bhyland> NB: The Open Gov Vocab mailing list of which you speak is a US only effort. I encourage broadening to the GLD WG if appropriate.
<bkaempgen> bkaempgen is Benedikt
<bkaempgen> +q
cygri: concern, will cuirrent ad hoc discussion participants need to sign up to a particular list?
<bhyland> Would the caller from Washington DC (aadd) and country code +91 please tell zakim who you are. TIA
* protecting inb0xes
<bkaempgen> maybe discuss on publishing-statistical-data@googlegroups.com ?
<Biplav> +91 => Biplav (India's country code); Sorry for slippery fingers with RC chat software.
cygri: Q: how to delineate between "GLD WG stuff" and other stuff
Suggestion: Use Usenet principles: if it becomes noise, create a new list...
Could the people having the party please mute???
George: look at "vacbulary page"
* what is the "list of things" that should be on the vocab list
POINT OF ORDER: George,are you looking ast a page?
George is looking at: http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Vocabulary_Discussion_Summary
<boris> http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Vocabulary_Discussion_Summary
<bhyland> We are talking about http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Vocabulary_Discussion_Summary
<BartvanLeeuwen> +q
Volunteers to discuss Vocabs on http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Vocabulary_Discussion_Summary
Q (bhyland): How to add?
A (George): Now, edit via wiki (for now)
-1 to spec writing tools
hg is an epic fail in certain other WGs
1 to Wiki unil we have issues
;)
<Biplav> I have a question - is "data retention" terms relevant for Vocabularies? Tax data, health records.
Missing from current list of Vocab: Provenance...
BartvanLeeuwen: how to express events in tiome
BartvanLeeuwen will edit wiki himself
<John> happy to update GeoSpatial section
Others in WG should edit wiki, add vocabs they think are "important"
olyerickson will add Prov-related
Top-level link to W3C "PROV" WG http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/Main_Page
cygri: Look at (our) charter, it is pretty clear on what is expected
* Minimum: look at each area, make sure we're "covered" by existing vocab work (or not)
<bhyland> +1 to cygri's understanding of what the WG charter suggests vis a vis vocabs. Keep it simple but useful IMO.
* In areas where there currently aren't W3C or other vocabs in use, make recommendations or highlight the concern
<boris> +1 to cygri
george: GLD Vocab "Summary" page
is laid out based on Charter requirements
... Q: If something is NOT in charter, is it then out of
scope?
sandro: Chairs can
determine/adjust scope but...
... RE "recommendations," cannot exceed charter
... "cookbook" vs "recommendation"
george: Status of Cookbook?
<sandro> sandro: we can put advice about anything in the cookbook, but for full-force standards (W3C Recommendations) we need to stick to the charter.
bhyland/boris/michael: Cookbook Status
bhyland: "seed material" is material from LGD book (SPringer, in press)
<BartvanLeeuwen> +q
* in cookbook, approx. 15 vocabs req'd for use in gov't
bhyland: to add vocab in "cookbook" to wiki
<scribe> ACTION: bhyland to add vocab in "cookbook" to wiki [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/10/06-gld-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-11 - Add vocab in "cookbook" to wiki [on Bernadette Hyland - due 2011-10-13].
?? Q; private/public participation
<GeraldSteeman> There are US govt challenges
* in/out of charter
?? is "Biplav Srivastava"
<cygri> Biplav, charter is here: http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/charter
<sandro> I can imagine this (incentives) COULD be a kind of strategy listed in the Directory....
<GeraldSteeman> http://www.nasa.gov/topics/technology/centennial/index.html as an aero challenge
<bhyland> ACTION-11 is for bhyland to add content for all "7 steps" including vocabulary summary for government.
<George_> ack http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/ISO_Extensions_to_SKOS
Bart: Q: Participating in Linked Data Cookbook effort; no clue how to contribute
<BartvanLeeuwen> -q
george: talk to bhyland
bhyland is "yeast" for thecookbook (who's the sugar?)
george: In the context of the "Five Areas", is there anything obviously missing that needs to be dded
* for example: Vcard? FOAF?
Cory (??): Fundamental units?
<gatemezi> Maybe also legislation?
Sandro: units are out-of-scope
<sandro> http://schema.org/Person
<sandro> (another option)
Sandro: Another contender is Schema.org (see above)
There's a difference between "practical" vs "technically possible" ...
cygri: Don't forget about DCMI
<George_> out of scope - licensing, units, time - possible cookbook topics?
+1 to DCMI (shoudk be a default)
<GeraldSteeman> +1 DCMI
bhyland: suggest all in common use with guidance, esp. w.r.t. in'l requirements
bkaempgen: Are specific use cases required?
<cygri> bkaempgen++
<BartvanLeeuwen> +1 for use cases
<gatemezi> Q: is it a way to check "w3c good standing work?
<cygri> 100% agree with George
George: GLD can "collect" potentially useful vocabs
<bhyland> George: Would like to see the Vocabulary deliverables specify clear guidance for the 4 sub-deliverables so gov't has clear guidelines (to reduce ambiguity).
