08:20:01 [ahaller2]
frans: more that people are aware of them
08:21:10 [ahaller2]

http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/75
08:22:50 [ahaller2]
frans: quality for each set of data point may be needed
08:23:02 [jtandy]

08:23:59 [phila]
q+ to talk about DQV
08:24:15 [ahaller2]
... in my opinion, it is out of scope here
08:24:37 [billrobe_]

ack next
08:25:09 [Zakim]
phila, you wanted to talk about DQV
08:25:10 [ahaller2]
... i have not seen a common practice how to attach metadata to the data point
08:25:53 [ahaller2]
... for example, someone says the flood water has come to their house. it would be useful to see metadata attached to that.
08:26:28 [ahaller2]
... attach metadata to a dataset record
08:27:07 [ahaller2]
kerry: it is a pattern, not an ontological requirement
08:27:19 [ahaller2]
phila: I don't think it is out of scope
08:27:38 [ahaller2]

billrobe_: identify individual data points might be a requirement too.
08:31:06 [ahaller2]
ericP: clinical domain, where it was very important to talk about quality of data
08:31:56 [ahaller2]
eparsons: we could close issue-75 by saying it is in scope

jtandy: if you publish in the CRS of your national agencies requirement, look at your audience and decide if you can publish in multiple CRSs, e.g. your national and mercator

08:43:26 [ahaller2]
... e.g. if you are in Britain, publish in British national grid and another one
08:43:54 [ahaller2]

I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2016/09/19-sdw-minutes.html phila
09:01:06 [frans]
issue 74 proposal 1: We expand CRS definition requirement a bit to make it clear that a CRS definition should include an indication of UoM. For instance:
09:01:06 [frans]
"There should be a recommended way of referencing a Coordinate Reference System (CRS) with a HTTP URI, and to get useful data about the CRS when that URI is dereferenced. The CRS data should include the unit of measurement of the CRS."
09:01:30 [frans]
issue 74 proposal 2: We add a new requirement:
09:01:30 [frans]
"The use of precision that matches uncertainty in coordinate data should be facilitated and encouraged"

09:07:17 [jungbin]
jungbin has joined #sdw
09:07:17 [ahaller2]
... rephrase 76 to make it a requirement
09:08:01 [ahaller2]
frans: to publish multiple CRS can have different reasons, i.e. to follow standards, not just to make it easier for users
09:08:05 [kerry]
+1 to eric's comment -- make sure issue 70 is just phrased right
09:08:22 [ahaller2]
eparsons: close 76 and it is 70, but rephrased

frans: publishing in multiple CRS is already a practice, but they don't know what the best practice is

phila: people read the doc getting close to publication , as i have on the plane here
09:41:47 [kerry]
... see kadvice from bernadette
09:42:29 [kerry]
bernadette: one person read the whole doc at a very late point and made a *lot* of comments which were helpful but took a long time to process
09:42:48 [kerry]
...it is really important if people read the details before the last minute ..
09:43:04 [kerry]
... we had text that had been there right through that then got questioned right at the end.
09:43:33 [kerry]
...we had to have meetings on specific points that were raised, the doc got much better
09:43:48 [kerry]
...but it is important to read t he details asap is better

topic: BP number 7 http://w3c.github.io/sdw/bp/#globally-unique-ids
10:04:10 [kerry]
eparsons: need some context, e.g. explaining that now you need to publish stuff at a finer granularity that you are used to
10:04:43 [kerry]
... when we publish we need that every thing/feature/atomoc piece needs an identifier

10:08:12 [Linda]
q+
10:09:00 [kerry]
eparsons: yes, but we need bits of it restated again within the relevant bp presenation: this will be very new for SDI audience although old hat for web people

ClemensPortele, you wanted to talk about "Reuse identifiers when you can"
10:10:02 [kerry]
ClemensPortele: reuse identifiers when you can -- how is this going to work?
10:10:55 [kerry]
e.g using dppedia or geonames for the uir, but i want to publish something else -- if you retirve the uri you will not come to my information that i am publishing

ClemensPortele: so my publishing will still be dark becuase noone will come to it
10:11:55 [kerry]
Linda: responding to ed -- is the "why" section of bp not good enough?
10:12:12 [kerry]
...e.g. BP 7 starts with heading "Why". What is missing?
10:12:53 [kerry]
eparsons: the granularity in particular, not just and enpoint for a wfs, but every object there
10:13:13 [kerry]
Linda: so if you are used to using wfs -- this is how it is different
10:13:40 [kerry]
eparsons: addressed to particular users -- highlght how this is going to be different for you.

billrobe_: on ClemensPortele point about identifiers,
10:14:54 [kerry]
.... it depends on your data model and say you are doing datacube you do want someeone else's identifier so that you can interoperate
10:15:10 [eparsons]

10:15:17 [kerry]
... one very useful case is the n-ary relations wheret ehe place is the object of the statement

10:16:19 [kerry]
ByronCinNZ: in realtion to data on the we bp, in our case we need the spatial things themselves
10:16:45 [kerry]
jtandy: dwbp has 2 cases, , thes second is item-level
10:17:09 [kerry]
phila: adwbp a lot of the examples use it as well
10:17:52 [kerry]

q+ to ask about syntax (e.g. json-ld would allow foo:bar qualified names, other contexts allow gzip, ...)
10:19:18 [kerry]
AndreaPerego: responding to phila , in geospatail catalogues we have unique uids, these can be added to a base uri, is this ok?
10:19:21 [eparsons]
ack next
10:19:22 [Zakim]
danbri, you wanted to ask about syntax (e.g. json-ld would allow foo:bar qualified names, other contexts allow gzip, ...)
10:19:49 [kerry]
danbri: what syntax ? can have different abbreviations depending on sytax
10:20:21 [kerry]
... can rely on storage tool
10:20:52 [danbri]
another e.g. if you're in an XHTML regime you could use entities; in JSON-LD qnames or however JSON-LD calls qualified names.
10:20:54 [kerry]
eparsons: so the best approach is syntax-specific, but the gneral idea is the same and we need to force the issue

jtandy: will park the discussion on Spatial Thing and Feature
13:23:02 [billroberts]
Topic: Bart's demonstration of linking to WFS
13:23:41 [billroberts]
BartvanLeeuwen: we're working for emergency services in cross-border or cross-discipline contexts
13:24:07 [billroberts]
...there is more and more spatial data being shared between these partners in ad hoc ways
13:24:29 [billroberts]
...For example, water boards collaborating with fire departments on flood evacuation plans
13:24:48 [billroberts]
...The water board is opening up its SDI for the fire department
13:25:20 [billroberts]
...For example the fire department comes across information about a critical section of a dike (i.e. high risk of a flood)
13:26:04 [billroberts]
...misinterpretation between the two organisations of what was meant by 'critical'. Water board had a different idea to the fire department
13:28:51 [billroberts]
...[Bart shows a GIS WFS system with attributes of objects on the map]
13:29:13 [billroberts]
...so we suggest having a rdf:seeAlso attribute on all WFS systems, to link to a place to store more information
13:29:33 [billroberts]
...Fire department is happy with an extra column in their system, but don't want to worry about supporting all kinds of formats
13:30:32 [billroberts]
...following the seeAlso link goes to a Linked Data page about the thing, which in turn can link to definitions of concepts and other terminology
13:31:09 [billroberts]
...so this is a simple and generic way of linking a WFS to a Linked Data representation of the objects
13:31:46 [billroberts]
...We use standard linked data principles for dereferencing the URIs to get data
13:31:50 [jungbin]
jungbin has joined #sdw
13:33:07 [billroberts]
...Example showing a map of an incident, with icons to represent different situations, (eg a flaming icon to indicate a fire)
13:33:22 [billroberts]
...this approach allows icons to be connected to definitions of what they mean
13:34:11 [billroberts]
...and makes it possible to swap in different sets of icons for the same meaning, to make it familiar to someone from a different organisation
13:34:21 [sangchul]
sangchul has joined #sdw
13:35:33 [billroberts]
... From the opposite perspective, there is currently no standard way to link from the Linked Data representation to the feature on the map
13:35:51 [billroberts]
ClemensPortele: there could be just a WFS request that returns the feature

13:36:18 [billroberts]
BartvanLeeuwen: Jeremy and I have discussed this as a possible best practice
13:37:00 [billroberts]
jtandy: so in essence, you are supplementing an existing SDI by putting one column in the database that links to a Linked Data representation, where all the semantic integration can take place - but you can still display it on a map

jtandy: beautiful in its simplicity

...so what kind of link do you embed in your data? a link to an identifier or another resource?
13:48:44 [billroberts]
roba: probably need a standard practice here so that people know what to expect. It should probably be the identifier
13:49:00 [billroberts]
q?
13:50:44 [billroberts]
roba: in that case the identifier can then link to various representations. Otherwise the implementer has to make a choice of which kind of representation to link to
13:53:41 [eparsons]
ack next
13:53:51 [billroberts]
phila: points out that in Bart's example, there is both information about the thing and information about the document about the thing. So this example makes the distinction between thing and representation
13:54:50 [billroberts]
ClemensPortele: this example is mainly about easy data access. In QGIS you just have a string about the attribute. In the LD version, you can link off to definitions of the terminology
13:54:50 [roba]
do you want t force all WFS to use exactly the same set of choices as to how to link to different resources and additional information - or make that the URI dereferencing practice?
13:55:29 [billroberts]
ClemensPortele: it doesn't naturally fit in one of the existing best practices
