RESOLUTION: Approving last meeting's minutes https://www.w3.org/2016/11/22-sdwssn-minutes

Assigning tasks on the writing of the WD http://w3c.github.io/sdw/ssn/ for December 16th deadline

Updates to SSN ontology, especially actuation, modularization (several currently written things have been superseeded by discussions now), sosa-core naming,

spec generation has been looked into; couple of issues that can be solved, either manually or hacking into the python code

kerry: not sure if all issues with specgen can be fixed, such as cardinality restrictions / multiple restrictions with the same property

classes and properties not linked in the output, difficulties with hash / slash uris

KJanowic: manual changes will be lost after regeneration; bad idea

ahaller2: will try to fix issues in the code

<KJanowic> IMHO, this has great potential for going terribly wrong.

<KJanowic> ahaller2: changing in the code would probably the better way to go

<KJanowic> I can update the intro section (which I also originally drafted)

<KJanowic> I can do the sosa parts

volunteers needed to go throught the text: such as introduction, goals

<Zakim> kerry, you wanted to suggest to armin we meet in person to go through this

KJanowic: volunteers for introduction (and possibly other parts)

<KJanowic> I volunteer to do all the SOSA related parts

ahaller: happy to rewrite modularization part, update the graph, there are no longer imports, no longer call it 'core' because it isn't

kerry: work on the dulce alignment, equivalence class axioms - need to be norminative

ahaller: will alot of the equivalent axioms point to the dulce part?

kerry: refer to the SSN classes in the old namespace; decision was made on the observation part, others need to be worked on

ahaller: if label gets changed, its no longer the same thing

ahaller2: danh and raul to work on the table (https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Mapping_Table)

<RaulGarciaCastro> It seems you cannot hear me

<RaulGarciaCastro> Yes

<kerry> claus! not that table!

my bad - which table were you referring to?

<RaulGarciaCastro> I’ve been taking a look to the usage of the SSN ontology: haven’t found many datasets using it. I have also searched for ontologies reusing SSN

<RaulGarciaCastro> I collect the analysis I’ve made and will share with the group

<RaulGarciaCastro> I’m working in the analysis of the usage of SSN (right now not on the implementation report)

<KJanowic> Claus: by the table we mean the implementation report overview table

kerry: implementation report is not in the deliverable, its a separate document

Thanks for clarification

<RaulGarciaCastro> I don’t know :)

ahaller2: Its not decided yet, others put the implementation report into the deliverable, it could be an annex

Decision on removing someValues from restriction on hasSubSystem ISSUE 85

<RaulGarciaCastro> I’m working on it; right now the problem is the lack of datasets (i.e., the coverage is low)

<kerry> issue-85 ?

<trackbot> issue-85 -- remove someValues from restriction on hassubsystem -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/85

<KJanowic> https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/actions/226

<KJanowic> Long version short, our current axiom is fine and in line with Mereology and its axiomatizations and also what DUL meant by hasPart. that said, I do not see any harm by removing the existential quantification

kerry: If the presence of the existencal restriction improves reasoning, it would be a strong reason to keep it.

<RaulGarciaCastro> +1 to removing the restriction, I don’t like forcing systems to include hasPart with themselves just to be consistent

<KJanowic> You do not enforce this

<KJanowic> for two reasons, first because of our haspart definition and second because the OWA

<RaulGarciaCastro> OK

ahaller2: Can the restrictions be moved into the DUL aligment?

<KJanowic> My point is that the forall quantification alone will not do anything. it only states that if there would be something it would be inferred to be a (sub)system. It does *not* restrict the predicate

ahaller2: Advantage would be that it makes the new SSN more lightweight

<kerry> agreed! that is the point!

KJanowic: The forall restriction does: If there would be a usage of the hasSubSystem relation to something, such as chewinggum then the chewing gum would be a system. It does not restrict the usage of hasSubSystem.

<KJanowic> Claus: the forall restriction, not the existential restriction

<KJanowic> sorry kerry for not being clear, I meant how we used the local closure in other parts of the system definition: https://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/ssnx/ssn#System

<kerry> dont park it!

<kerry> -1

<ahaller2> Vote between removing the existential restrictions on hasSubSystem or keeping the existential or removing universal and existential

<KJanowic> Too many or clauses :-)

<kerry> removing someValues from restriction on hasSubSystem ISSUE 85

<KJanowic> It is also really low priority (this may all change depending on the other changes we do)

<kerry> removing someValues from restriction on hasSubSystem ISSUE 85

<KJanowic> If kerry believes that this is a big step in usability of ssn, I am fine to go with kerry's suggestion

<ahaller2> kerry to decide on issue 85 as editor of the new SSN

<KJanowic> +1

<RaulGarciaCastro> +1

<ahaller2> +1

+1

Annotations in mapping table https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Mapping_Table

<KJanowic> Okay, I will look into this

ahaller2: There were no recent updates or comments on the annotation table. Decision in one of the last meetings to introduce our own rdfs:comments and annotations. Anyone who has objections to these annotations should raise an issue in the table.

<Zakim> kerry, you wanted to say I did edit it a bit --- marked as "(kerry)" and to say I did edit it a bit --- marked as "(kerry)" in table and to suggest that won't make the WD

Remove featureOfInterest Class? i.e., second part of Issue ISSUE 86 and observableProperty?, i.e. second part of ISSUE 87

<kerry> issue-86

<trackbot> issue-86 -- Annotation for a feature of interest --- and why do we need it at all? -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/86

<KJanowic> I would strongly be against removing the FOI class

<kerry> moved to issue-94

<kerry> issue-94?

<trackbot> issue-94 -- Why do we need the sosa-core Feature of interest class at all? -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/94

KJanowic: FeatureOfInterest class has use cases, such as for filtering by that class in a faceted browser. Also, features that have no yet observed data could already be declared as instances of that class in advance.

<KJanowic> Many reasons not to do that: APIs, faceted browsing, FOI that have not yet been sensed, creating subclasses,...

<RaulGarciaCastro> +1 to leave it

<ahaller2> +1 to KJanowic

+1 to leave it

<KJanowic> I would vote -1 on removing , i.e., +1 on leaving it in there

<ahaller2> + leaving

<ahaller2> +1 leaving

<KJanowic> +1 on leaving

<kerry> close issue-94

<trackbot> Closed issue-94.

<KJanowic> also keep observableproperty

<KJanowic> we also closed 85, right?

<ahaller2> close issue-85

<trackbot> Closed issue-85.

<KJanowic> thanks for the productive meeting, bye bye

<RaulGarciaCastro> Bye!

<ahaller2> bye, thanks

<kerry> bye!
