DNM

This CG, useful or not?

Arnaud: I get info I wouldn't get any other way, so I find it useful

ivan: When I was Activity lead it was useful for me
... it was not always easy to find a specific topic to discuss
... now in a different situation
... not really part of this any more

phila: Why no call in the DPub Activity

ivan: We only have one group (plus annotations)
... not a lot to coordinate
... if we get more then yes, we may want to set uo a CG
... what did come up in discussion, not with the chairs, but with AC Reps (publishers etc)
... they'd like to have some sort of a group that looks at the strategic level
... what should be happening in the Activity
... maybe Arnaud is both
... it's not a Coordination Group, it's a driving committee...

phila: Sounds like Soeren, Sebastian and Kerstin here

ivan: Hmm... in DPub it would be different kinds of people, more business focused

Soeren: I'm at Fraunhofer as well as at the Uni. So I think I have some impact from that area
... but I think we could strengthen the stakeholder involvement. They'd be too far fron the IT dept. to come to this call
... they're more users of tech than leaders

ivan: I agree, yes. Not easy to find those people
... if I look at Cambridge Semantics - we know some people v well. But they have some more on business side of same group who we don't know

Sebastian: I think the call is quite good as it provides info at the right level. I'm also in this bridging people - what kind of standardisation is goinbg on wrt data
... there is a group of people interested in these topics
... industries, integrators etc.
... MarkLogic, SWC etc.
... so for me it's usefeul

Kerstin: For me it's an opportunity for updates on what's happening on Web of Data
... trying to be connected in HCLS etc.

Infrastructure, SEMANTiCS

Sebastian: Idea is to have a workshop at SEMANTiCS on infrastructure and standards - infrastructure helped by standards
... so maybe Shapes work -> validators as part of the stack
... want to explore relationship between the two. topic will evolve as we develop the workshop ideas

Arnaud: I see the relationship between the two but it's not my thing.
... Market pressure means that standards are seen as taking too long
... we have a whole group working on LD, and yet it hasn't taken over IBM and there are sceptics
... so always interested in discussions around insights into the market.

Soeren: What I feel in Germany now - there's a great push towards Industrie 4.0; linking machiens and shop floors
... is there something at W3C on this?

Soeren: I was thinking about sensors on the manufacturing floor
... and I think LD and W3C can help there
... I think they use a lot of proprietary methods. If you have hundreds of robots from diff manufacturers/open standards you need more

VREs

Kerstin: I've not come across that

More concerned with IMI. OpenPhacts, SemWeb comes up more and more

LDP extension

Arnaud: LDP initially chartered to June 2014 (3 years)
... we weren't done, asked for extension until now. Managed to publish main spec at PR
... LDP Paging spec split out from that main spec is now at CR
... so what's next?
... plenty more to do
... developed the wish list... => new charter? But people weren't sure what the priorities were.
... multiple discussions... wait another 6 months and see what happens... lead to request for a further 6 month experiment
... also asking to host a workshop to ask the community about what the priorities are
... Now have LD Patch format to incrementally update data

phila: Do you agree with Sandro that this is really about Web Apps
... Social Web WG is looking at LDP for their protocol
... we might see what they would need.
... we could wait and see what their requirements are

Date Next Meeting

Next meeting will be 4 February
