… proposes to open issue for which patterns to use going forward
… likes the prov-o pattern best

Action: DaveBrowning to open issue to fix pattern for links within rec document

schema.org alignment

<alejandra> https://‌www.w3.org/‌wiki/‌WebSchemas/‌Datasets

<riccardoAlbertoni> +1 to include the simon's with the alejandra's additions in the 2PWD

alejandra: points out that an alignment from schema.org to early DCAT is available, and should be mentioned

SimonCox: do we need to have a vote in this meeting so we can send it to plenary next week

DaveBrowning: asking what process should be?

<riccardoAlbertoni> +1 to SimonCox ( we should not miss the opportunity for external comments on issues that are open)

<AndreaPerego> +1 to go ahead with the current DCAT to schema.org mappings

<alejandra> +1

<alejandra> we still need to look at all the other issues

SimonCox: the pink issue box says 'this is provisional' so we can accept it now and still change it later

Resolved: DCAT team agrees that current schema.org alignment (PR 354) should be merged, can still be changed later

<DaveBrowning> https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌issues/‌353

byteSize

superclass for dcat:Distribution

<riccardoAlbertoni> could external commentd help in solve contradictions? in that case i would add a comment...

SimonCox: conversation nowhere near done - leave open

<alejandra> https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌issues/‌317

remove from milestone

dereferenceable identifiers

DaveBrowning: not enough work yet, need story about versioning etc, too big to resolve now, remove from milestone

<alejandra> +1

<Jaroslav_Pullmann> +1

project context

DaveBrowning: good work done, more needed, good for 2PWD, but further work will be added later

Links to DCAT 2014 RDF

DaveBrowning: DSR is comfortable with DaveBrowning proposal - links from NS page can point to updated RDF representation
… NS page needs TLC, with links to RDF for DCAT-rev
… matches W3C policy for namespace pages
… i.e. links from NS page to different versions of RDF files
… will be executed as part of 2PWD release

rootResource/manifest

DaveBrowning: no love recently ... remove from milestone

Distros in zip files

DaveBrowning: much discussion in June, but no resolution, so not ready for 2PWD

<riccardoAlbertoni> yes we should have a resolution ...
