kcoyle: jaroslav is still intending to cover action #50
21:15:57 [PWinstanley]
... andrea - Action 59?
21:16:24 [PWinstanley]
AndreaPerego: I am still on the case, hope to get completion in the next couple of weeks
21:16:55 [PWinstanley]
roba: Mine can be marked as done
21:17:38 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: Rob, please can you say what is going on in OGC (open geospatial consortium) that's relevant
21:19:02 [PWinstanley]
roba: OGC specialises in spatio-temporal matters. I have a role as OGC staff member supporting knowledge management, and we are interested in describing relationships between our specifications, their versions and their profiles. I'm building a linked data environment to describe this
21:19:34 [PWinstanley]
...Because it is early days I have freedom in choices and have decided to link it to DXWG activity stream
21:19:57 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: on our home page we have related docs/vocabs. If there is anything related please link it there
21:20:21 [PWinstanley]
roba: I plan to share a model for describing profiles.

Just to note that OGC has also a group working on DCAT for geo metadata - already included in the list of stakeholders that have been contacted for the UCR doc.
21:21:25 [PWinstanley]
Makx: Do you want to look at the EC ADMS schema - a DCAT-based schema for profiles and schemas.

ack roba
21:23:37 [PWinstanley]
roba: while I've been working on requirements I'm happy to slot in with wider activity - the namespace must relate to a body that OGC has liaison with already, but it can be brought through this group to do that
21:23:58 [PWinstanley]
...Gathering prior art would be a good starting point
21:24:07 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: does this become a use case?
21:24:32 [PWinstanley]
roba: I think it might be covered by existing generic UC, but we might need a more specific one.
21:25:05 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: add it as a github issue to allow discussion before we firm up the action on this
21:25:10 [PWinstanley]
TOPIC: co-chair
21:25:43 [PWinstanley]

kcoyle: we determined that DCAT meetings will be on Wednesdays, 20:00 UTC
21:27:30 [kcoyle]
ack alejandra
21:28:26 [PWinstanley]
alejandra: After we made this decision Andrea updated his availability and it doesn't include this time. We will start with the decided time and review depending on attendance
21:29:09 [PWinstanley]
AndreaPerego: I changed the timeslot when the poll was extended. The Wednesday 20:00 will be difficult for me
21:29:32 [PWinstanley]
...If I'm the only one affected then just go ahead without me
21:30:59 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: we need to know who is going to call the meeting. Use of webex is through Dave Raggett - but if you are using other things then that's fine. Use the IRC and Zakim to facilitate getting a record of the meeting
21:31:09 [PWinstanley]
...There needs to be a public record
21:31:33 [PWinstanley]
SimonCox: Do you want me to do it?
21:31:37 [PWinstanley]

What about the IRC channel to be used? #dxwg-dcat?
21:32:54 [alejandra]
so, use the same channel as now
21:32:57 [PWinstanley]

21:33:59 [PWinstanley]
SimonCox: I will contact Dave Raggett and sort arrangements
21:34:34 [RubenVerborgh]
q+ to ask whether Profiles group includes content negotiation
21:34:37 [PWinstanley]

q?
21:35:26 [PWinstanley]

RubenVerborgh, you wanted to ask whether Profiles group includes content negotiation
21:36:23 [PWinstanley]
RubenVerborgh: the last email was about splitting profiles into guidance and content negotiation - what does the group cover
21:36:39 [antoine]
q+
21:36:50 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: separate groups for each deliverable - so how do we want to split
21:36:54 [annette_g]
q+
21:37:45 [PWinstanley]
...Did you see the note after antoine posted to suggest that the content negotiation could be independent and be covered before the profiles
21:38:22 [roba]
q+
21:38:30 [kcoyle]
q?
21:38:38 [PWinstanley]
... RubenVerborgh and LarsG can proceed without waiting for others
21:38:55 [PWinstanley]
..The profiles should be renamed to profile guidance
21:39:14 [PWinstanley]
RubenVerborgh: There should be an invitation email
21:39:36 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: most of those interested in profiles were interested in guidance.
21:39:48 [roba]
I intend to implement profile negotiation.. so will join that group.

21:42:19 [PWinstanley]
annette_g: We might want to start out together and split into subgroups later
21:42:51 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: that is what we were trying to do on the content page. It was clear that there were different parallel paths that were not meeting
21:43:41 [PWinstanley]
annette_g: the first joint meeting should discuss the broad definition and then determine the commonality that allows the content negotiation people to push ahead

ack roba
21:44:27 [PWinstanley]
roba: I support this.
21:45:10 [PWinstanley]
... Also at least 3 of us are modelling profiles, so this needs to be done in plenary so that we have an agreed formalism as a starting point
21:45:11 [kcoyle]
ack antoine
21:45:38 [PWinstanley]
antoine: I was suggesting for cross-fertilisation, as I don't think we can get an agreement in just one meeting
21:45:53 [annette_g]
+1 to antoine
21:46:08 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: Rob mentioned a plenary. Would it make sense to have this discussed in a general meeting?

ack roba
21:46:51 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: I am willing for us to do that if that is what the group wants
21:47:07 [PWinstanley]
roba: I think we should ask the question
21:47:26 [PWinstanley]
... are we in a position to parallelise activities, or not?
21:47:58 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: I fear we will have to come up with more than one term - one for ConNeg, and another for guidance
21:47:59 [antoine]
q+
21:48:06 [kcoyle]
ack antoine
21:48:08 [roba]
-1 for different term - +1 to formalise model so we can see if it is the same
21:48:14 [AndreaPerego]
q+
21:48:26 [PWinstanley]
antoine: does the charter allow us to split definitions in the final specs?
21:48:33 [roba]
q+
21:49:13 [kcoyle]
q?
21:49:16 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: the charter uses 'application profile' for both, but we could decide on a macro-level and a more specialised version. I've talked to Phil Archer who said we can refine the terms as we need
21:49:53 [PWinstanley]
AndreaPerego: looking at the profiles use cases, we are using the word two ways -
21:50:32 [PWinstanley]
... We need to align with the terminology we use in the UCR otherwise it will be challenging for readers
21:50:40 [kcoyle]
q?
21:50:40 [SimonCox]
q+ process clarification - how will we track and tag requirements?
21:50:41 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: we need a way of distinguishing them
21:50:47 [kcoyle]

ack roba
21:52:00 [PWinstanley]
roba: at this stage we cannot make a call if they are different or not. If there are strong reasons for general and special views then that's OK, but we should not prejudge and we should do the work. Life would be simpler if they were the same thing (though different aspects)
21:52:20 [kcoyle]

s/using the word two ways/using the word more than two ways/
21:52:23 [PWinstanley]
... The ISO definition seems to be broad enough to handle all
21:52:52 [PWinstanley]
SimonCox: I am concerned that we are getting into material that should be covered in subgroup.
21:52:58 [antoine]
+1 with roba : in general I'm rather optimistic that we can get an agreement. I just think it will be super hard to do it quickly, and without first draft specs under our eyes.
21:54:20 [PWinstanley]
...I am concerned too about process - I started work on DCAT but had problems finding all documentation. In the last meeting we agreed to focus on github, yet we still have UCR in an HTML doc. We need to sort requirements to deliverables and this is challenging with the HTML doc esp as we agree to use github
21:55:09 [PWinstanley]
...The subgroups will benefit from a clarification of process. I have started by suggesting to group leads that we convert the UCR into github
21:55:25 [roba]
q+
21:55:45 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: we agreed that we work on the documents in github, but not all our work will take place this way (e.g. google spreadsheet)
21:56:09 [kcoyle]
ack roba
21:56:21 [PWinstanley]
SimonCox: we are creating work by using too many tools and not using github as it can be used
21:57:13 [alejandra]
+q
21:57:40 [PWinstanley]
roba: I dont disagree with Simon, but it would be good to chat to Jaroslav to see if the conversion can be automated. Doing it by hand would be too lengthy. We need to explore potential for scripting the parsing
21:57:57 [PWinstanley]
... I will go with whatever we decide
21:58:11 [PWinstanley]
kcoyle: roba will you check with Jaroslav?
21:58:19 [SimonCox]
It is easy to generate a list of github issues tagged as 'requirement' for a single deliverable - e.g. https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues?q=label%3Arequirement+label%3Adcat
21:58:30 [PWinstanley]
