Topic: Process to move SSN to Candidate Rec
20:09:18 [phila]
eparsons: Invites Armin to describe where we are.
20:09:38 [phila]
ahaller2: Apologises for the short notice.
20:09:56 [phila]
... We have had the wide review, we had several comments that we have acted upon.
20:10:16 [phila]
... We have based our Exit Criteria on the Time Ontology one
20:10:38 [phila]
... Feedback received was very positive but asked for examples so we have included several now.
20:11:00 [phila]
... These are in an appendix. Still working on them.
20:11:17 [phila]
... Had different understandings even within the group as to how to use the ontology.
20:11:34 [phila]
... We'll add these modelling approaches to the examples.
20:11:47 [phila]
... Apart from that, limited changes since the previous WD
20:11:58 [phila]
... Fixed some minor errors.
20:13:01 [phila]
... Split out the systems capabilities module. Used to have limited implementation evidence in old SSN so we have flagged it as at risk. We can make it non-normative if no evidence.
20:13:10 [ahaller2]
q?
20:13:40 [phila]
eparsons: There seems to be a lot of change going on.
20:13:53 [phila]
... How much is tidying up content and how much is significant.
20:14:19 [phila]
ahaller2: Changes in the last few minutes have been minor (hash for slash)
20:14:34 [phila]
... Making sections/sub sections etc.
20:14:35 [KJanowic]
q+
20:14:51 [phila]
ahaller2: In the last 4 weeks, very few errors. Really all about the examples.
20:15:21 [eparsons]
ack next
20:15:29 [phila]
eparsons: So the doc is stable
20:15:31 [phila]
ahaller2: Yes
20:16:11 [phila]
KJanowic: There hasn't been any work on the ontologies for weeks. We've been looking at the examples, the modules etc. Not the ontology
20:16:14 [phila]
q+
20:16:20 [eparsons]
ack next
20:17:00 [ahaller2]
q+
20:17:20 [KJanowic]
Yes, but you will see that these are examples, change logs, figures, etc
20:18:11 [tidoust]
Phil: Did you get feedback on the interleaving of SOSA and SSN?
20:18:47 [tidoust]
Armin: Not per se. There were several comments about the lack of examples, SOSA examples, but not on the presentation itself.
20:19:04 [tidoust]
... We've had lengthy discussions in the subgroup about this.
20:19:31 [tidoust]
Phil: There's a reference to SSN system way before it gets defined. Please check.

Linda: I've not been following closely, but to be clear, the last WD was on 4 May and you're saying that this new ED is not really different from the published WD.
20:20:56 [phila]
ahaller2: True.
20:21:30 [phila]
ahaller2: It feels different because the ToC looks so different, but if you do a diff on the doc, apart from the examples etc. you'll see little change.
20:21:52 [phila]
ahaller2: There were 2 errors fixed in the ontologies
20:22:08 [phila]
Linda: ReSpec is showing 2 warnings (security and HTTPS URLs)
20:22:32 [phila]
tidoust: You don't need one for this doc, I think. There isn't one in the Time Ontology either
20:22:46 [phila]
... And don't worry about the HTTPS thing - I'll fix that.
20:22:49 [eparsons]
ack next
20:23:39 [phila]
mlefranc: I'd like to say to Linda that all of the wide review, we asked people to look at the ED, so they've seen the latest version
20:25:17 [eparsons]
q?
20:25:32 [phila]
[ssn-system is mentioned in 5.2.2 but not introduced by then so needs some explanation]
20:25:47 [phila]
mlefranc: Maybe we switch the horizontal sections around
20:25:50 [phila]
ahaller2: That would do it
20:26:39 [phila]
phila: What is the current status of implementations?
20:26:52 [phila]
ahaller2: We have some at GSA, who have implemented SOSA
20:27:04 [phila]
... couple of million samples there
20:27:12 [KJanowic]
q+
20:27:26 [phila]
... Several members working on implementations. We know Siemens is implementing it too.
20:27:40 [tidoust]
q+ to mention need to have producers and consumers in implementations
20:27:42 [phila]
... we have the SSN Usage doc from earlier that needs updating
20:27:56 [phila]
... Only concern is around system capabilities
20:27:59 [KJanowic]
s/We know Siemens is /We know Siemens is looking into
20:28:01 [phila]
... hence splitting it up.

20:28:44 [Zakim]
tidoust, you wanted to mention need to have producers and consumers in implementations
20:28:53 [phila]
KJanowic: What is the time line on the implementations? Esp given the direction on producers and consumers
20:29:12 [phila]
tidoust: Yes, the Director would like to see both sides. The time line is basically end of June.
20:29:54 [phila]
... If we resolve to publish CR now, it will take a couple of weeks to arrange the Director's call. CR must be at least 4 weeks, so we would need an extension.
20:30:13 [phila]
... If we get one, it's going to be in a dormant mode, just to let the process run.

mlefranc, you wanted to ask difference with dataset

20:31:16 [joshlieberman]
joshlieberman has joined #sdw
20:31:40 [phila]
mlefranc: Can I query the meaning of producers and consumers? So if we find evidence of producers, we need to find consumers of it?
20:31:47 [phila]
tidoust: Not necessarily of the same dataset
20:32:00 [phila]
mlefranc: There are lots of ways of using it
20:32:26 [phila]
tidoust: The 3rd bullet in the exit criteria might cover this??
20:32:47 [phila]
tidoust: If it's captured there, you're fine.
20:33:13 [phila]
mlefranc: if I develop an ontology that extends SOSA/SSN, does that count as an implementation?
20:33:42 [phila]
tidoust: Where would you do that? The Director is interested in what's in public and in software.
20:34:05 [phila]
mlefranc: We've got news from IETF to create a European standard based on SSN
20:34:24 [phila]
tidoust: If it's in the pipe, that's good, even if it's not completed.
20:34:32 [ahaller2]

20:35:03 [phila]
eparsons: A consumer doesn't have to be software or a service, it can be someone extending the ontology
20:35:13 [phila]
tidoust: It has to match the criteria in the document.
20:35:32 [phila]
KJanowic: Because this is an ontology, consumers will include other ontologies.
20:35:38 [eparsons]
ack next
20:35:39 [phila]
tidoust: I don't see a problem with that.
20:36:13 [phila]
DanhLePhuoc: The WoT WG has been discussing this a lot
20:36:23 [phila]
... So does that show usage?
20:36:35 [phila]
... And it's also being looked at for iot.schema.org
20:36:57 [phila]
tidoust: The transition to Proposed Rec, the implementation should already be there.
20:37:44 [phila]
... Again, refer to the wording of the exit criteria [paraphrase]
20:38:16 [phila]
eparsons: So in terms of a vote this evening, what's the appropriate wording?

20:39:19 [mlefranc]
* @tidoust --> we will make an example specifically to address his question
20:39:33 [phila]
phila: It might be... That the Editor's draft at @@@ be published as a Candidate Recommendation subject to, switching sections 5 and 6 around

KJanowic: If we're listing what will be done, then the examples in the appendix might be improved.
20:41:12 [mlefranc]
* but this is non normative section, tidoust said yesterday we can do it
20:41:57 [phila]
tidoust: That comment came today, it's going to be addressed.
20:42:12 [phila]
phila: Is that going to lead to a change?
20:42:36 [phila]
mlefranc: There's one use case here that means one of us can write a use case to cover this.
20:42:47 [phila]
phila: So you're talking about adding another example to the appendix?
20:42:52 [phila]
mlefranc: Yep.

tidoust: Just to insist on the exit criteria once more. This is what the Director will look for - you'll have to prove it.

20:48:49 [KJanowic]
q+
20:48:57 [phila]
... No 2 classes conflate and...
20:49:13 [phila]
... and in the 3rd bullet, 2nd sub bullet... I think it's implied
20:49:37 [phila]

mlefranc: I'm not talking about modifying the exit criteria, just the way that people will understand what they say.

20:54:44 [phila]
KJanowic: Maybe this due to the technical language that we're using. We have to show implementation evidence. We're discussing how to word what is there
20:55:02 [phila]
Linda: Are you confident that we can prove implementations?
20:55:30 [phila]
ahaller2: If it's 4 for each class or property, we might need to make some non-normative
20:55:50 [phila]
Linda: Then you might want to make those bits non-normative
20:56:14 [mlefranc]
q+
20:56:23 [phila]

20:57:31 [mlefranc]
q-
20:57:43 [tidoust]
phil: If you say here are 4 consuming bits of software, and there's one class that is used only once, I doubt that would be a problem. The Director is able to make a judgement call.
