FPWDs

PWinstanley: discussion on email on both drafts have taken place

roba: have been following this feedback; lots of it constructive; a few substantive issues
… but mainly inconsistencies in wording (as per Makx)
… suggest going through these over the next week

PWinstanley: prof-negotiation first

roba: can have an improved doc for next week

PWinstanley: need a little more time?

roba: that's my reading

<Jaroslav_Pullmann> Comments on CONNEG: https://‌lists.w3.org/‌Archives/‌Public/‌public-dxwg-wg/‌2018Nov/‌0400.html

Jaroslav_Pullmann: was busy this week and sent comments just before meeting

<Jaroslav_Pullmann> Profile ontology comments: https://‌lists.w3.org/‌Archives/‌Public/‌public-dxwg-wg/‌2018Nov/‌0402.html

Jaroslav_Pullmann: +1 for fpwd, but there are notes to be looked at

PWinstanley: no show-stopper? jaro: yes, right

Jaroslav_Pullmann: some definitions, some context and ambiguous statements

alejandra: thanking the editors; the lesson learned is that we should have done public working drafts more often

<roba> +1

alejandra: rob mentioned issues that Makx raised. for content negotiation things are ok
… for ontology, need to have github issues so that they can be included in the document so people know we are aware of them
… then people can make comments on github

antoine: have a comment on both - we've given feedback and comments; I will not object to publication but also give a few more days
… to editors so they can make changes
… suggest a moratorium on feedback

alejandra: I agree that we should close comments that go into document, but people should make comments at any time
… set end to comments that will go into the document

antoine: I understand Alejandra's point and agree, but we should be easy on the editors

PWinstanley: one possibility: agree to go forward with prof neg FPWD giving editors 4 more days on cleanup
… to group: do you think we can make the decision now, so that by next week's meeting it is done?
… assuming it passes pubrules
… don't want another week of decision-making
… just needs polishing, no show-stoppers, and leave that to the discretion of the editors

Proposed: Agree Prof Neg goes to FPWD with proviso that editors take on board comments made by this meeting time today

<Makx> +1

<Jaroslav_Pullmann> +1

<antoine> +1

<AndreaPerego> +1

<SimonCox> +1

PWinstanley: assume that working with dsr they will complete pub rules work etc.

<alejandra> +1

<ncar> +1

<DaveBrowning> +1

<roba> +1

PWinstanley: also have +1 from Riccardo and Lars (in email)

<PWinstanley> note there is +1 from Lars and Riccardo

Resolved: Agree Prof Neg goes to FPWD with proviso that editors take on board comments made by this meeting time today

<AndreaPerego> Riccardo +1: https://‌lists.w3.org/‌Archives/‌Public/‌public-dxwg-wg/‌2018Nov/‌0389.html

PWinstanley: Now discuss profOnt -same questions and issues

<roba> https://‌joinup.ec.europa.eu/‌release/‌dcat-ap/‌11

roba: distinction between the thing and its distribution, like the DCAT-AP -

<AndreaPerego> Lars +1: https://‌lists.w3.org/‌Archives/‌Public/‌public-dxwg-wg/‌2018Nov/‌0380.html

roba: issue is what to call a distribution in a profile
… various suggestions - resource descriptor, rules, etc. Other ideas?
… there are lots of things that aren't rules (documentation, guidance)
… need a name for the class

<alejandra> what about ProfileImplementation?

Makx: why not call it a distribution?

<AndreaPerego> +1 to Makx

roba: two issues: 1-debate about information equivalence for distributions, and in profiles they are not equivalent

<alejandra> -1 to distribution

roba: 2-resources like guidance documents do not feel like distributions of a profile

<ncar> -1 to Resource Descriptor == Distribution (it's not a distribution of the Profile)

<roba> +1 to it being an issue and run with as is..

PWinstanley: problem with nomenclature could be a waste of time now - can the document indicate that we don't have a set term yet?

<ncar> I can create an issue for this and place it in the doc

PWinstanley: allows us to move on

<AndreaPerego> alejandra, ncar, I think this is one of the issue to be sorted out, but for 2PWD.

<roba> * too quiet Jaro ?

Jaroslav_Pullmann: similar concern; profiles are not same as datasets
… sentences were hard to read because dense; need to do some rewording. Is a profile a profile of a standard or of data?

<roba> profile "constrains" one or more standards

antoine: This would be one of my main comments; we used distribution as one possible word for naming

<AndreaPerego> +1 to antoine

antoine: this issue will require more discussion than we can do before FPWD - make note in document and move on

<Zakim> AndreaPerego, you wanted to suggest we focus first on the decision on whether PROF should go out as FPWD

<ncar> Isseu for Resource descriptor class naming created and flagged as 2PWD: https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌issues/‌573

AndreaPerego: same comment; first decide on FPWD

<roba> I raised it as the most substantive non-editorial issue

alejandra: don't want to stop FPWD but ResourceDescriptor is too confusing; it would be better to change to Implementation

<ncar> I will put isse 573 in the doc

alejandra: but ok to go with putting a very obvious issue so that we make it obvious

<antoine> for the record the two words we've used in the post-its at F2F were Distribution and Publication

Makx: current text of the document is confusing, but we will get questions that come from the way it is written

PWinstanley: can we take a few days to clean up some bits of the document

<alejandra> great ncar - maybe we should move to issue 573 the comments under about the name that are in the issue https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌issues/‌404

Makx: the main problem is the use of the word "resource" throughout the document, meaning different things in different sections
… maybe editors can fix that over the next few days

PWinstanley: do you think this needs so much work that it needs to come back for a separate vote?

Makx: No
… I can help over the next few days. The intention of the document is good, but word "resource" confusing

<Makx> +1

PWinstanley: propose: FPWD with proviso that Makx and editors clear up issues used until this meeting time by Friday

ncar: May not be able to do all of the issues because there are a lot

PWinstanley: do we get help from Makx and bring it back next Tuesday

ncar: best help would be pull requests transcribing the comments in email

PWinstanley: could you vote +1 by email by next Tuesday?

Makx: out Sunday through Thurs

roba: nick and I could split it up, each taking one document
… overhead of putting all comments through as an issue is too much; better to work through comments and making changes
… make them into issues if we can't resolve them
… use issues for major changes

alejandra: What are the changes that are absolutely necessary?

PWinstanley: makx says confusion about resource

roba: changed names many times, and thus used 'resource' because we haven't firm names
… taking that on board is worthwhile; need to be more consistent

PWinstanley: we can propose to allow editors to work on it; for Makx to work with them regarding 'resource'
… to have draft by the end of the week
… if satisfies editors and makx we can move it through to FPWD

proposed: agree to move profiles ontology to FPWD with proviso that Makx's issue relating to terms is addressed, and that editors make other changes relating to readability

<Makx> don't need proviso

proposal: agree to move profiles ontology to FPWD and the editors make changes relating to readability

<Makx> +1

agree to move profiles ontology to FPWD after the editors make changes relating to readability & consistency by end of this week

PWinstanley: we all know about soliciting feedback, etc.

UCR

<Zakim> AndreaPerego, you wanted to make a suggestion on the next steps and publication frequency

AndreaPerego: about profile ontology - next steps and publication frequency. We have many issues to address, many dependencies
… at F2F Jeremy talked about having "sprint publications" each with a few issues
… suggest that we can decide a small set of issues to solve for the next WD

PWinstanley: make that a slot at the next meeting

Jaroslav_Pullmann: UCR changes are fine, but some groupings could be reconsidered
… still have question whether conneg requirements will remain separate

antoine: we have tried to include requirements as approved in the G-Doc, and to restructure of the profiles section

<Jaroslav_Pullmann> Link to Antoine's reworking of profile requirements: https://‌rawgit.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌aisaac-ucr_profile_requirements/‌ucr/‌index.html#ProfileRequirements

antoine: just received email; think that all requirements should be in UCR document

antoine: Jaro and I will need to have a discussion first; will bring back to plenary, hopefully next week

PWinstanley: time to talk about implementation reports? email from Andrea

AndreaPerego: suggest that we find a space under WG wiki (or github) for implementation reports
… this is required for recommendation track
… this doesn't get updated after group ends

ncar: shacl keeps an updated list of implementations

AndreaPerego: let's have a page with a list of implementations that can link to implementations

<Makx> Thanks all, and bye

<AndreaPerego> Thanks, bye bye

<alejandra> thanks all! bye

<PWinstanley> bye

<Jaroslav_Pullmann> thanks!

<ncar> thanks, bye
