Tuesday 21:00 is the most voted, but overlaps with the plenary

21: 00 UTC

Other options are Wed 21:00 UTC or Wed 22:00 UTC

where Wed 21:00 UTC doesn't guarantee DaveBrowning attending every week

and Wed 22:00 UTC having Andrea and Riccardo with 'if need be'

DaveBrowning: we'll try to sort out my conflict

DaveBrowning: let's go for 21:00 UTC on Wednesdays

<Makx> yes

thanks

Action: Makx to review https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌pull/‌459 by this evening

<trackbot> Sorry, but no Tracker is associated with this channel.

close 2nd PWD PR: https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌pull/‌436

as the 2nd PWD has been published, I propose to close the PR now

the branch will remain open

<Makx> where is the 2PWD? I can't find it. Did we agree which message to send and where?

but we don't need to have the PR open anymore

and it shouldn't be merged

2nd PWD is here: https://‌www.w3.org/‌TR/‌vocab-dcat-2/

we agreed on the plenary that we need to publicise it

Introductory message and Spanish translation available in the wiki

<DaveBrowning> https://‌www.w3.org/‌2017/‌dxwg/‌wiki/‌DCAT_revision_-_public_working_drafts#Spanish_translation

We agreed in closing the 2nd PWD PR

F2F4 preparation

<DaveBrowning> https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Arequirement+label%3Adcat

DaveBrowning: there needs to be guidance on the consequences of different decisions
… how we respond to the collection of requirements about versioning
… what to include in the normative and not normative part
… maybe the focus could be on informative recommendations

alejandra: Ideally, we should provide more normative details if possible, but the time constraints are a problem

PWinstanley: difficulty will be in interoperability if different organisations propose their own solutions

PWinstanley: we should identify the issues that people should not do in certain ways

DaveBrowning: if we had more time, we could do a good job, but not so sure for the end of the year

PWinstanley: finding out with Dave R and Philippe L about how much time we've got

DaveBrowning: question about subsets is another area where we are using subsets and distributions that are informationally equivalent

<PWinstanley> This is from Philippe "You can also use our milestones calculator as well. https://‌w3c.github.io/‌spec-releases/‌milestones/ For example, if you were to publish the Recommendation on June 27, your latest day to publish the Candidate Recommendation would be April 11: https://‌w3c.github.io/‌spec-releases/‌milestones/?rec=2019-06-27"

DaveBrowning: issue about expressivity... we haven't acknowledge the need to have relationships between distributions other than the parent
… master dataset and subdatasets, so that the subdatasets have distributions
… this ensures that the distributions are informationally equivalent

alejandra: we can recommend this representation as the 'proper' way
… so that distributions are informationally equivalent
