<Makx> ok

feedback

makx: we need better definitions

kcoyle: this is not all of the feedback
… we should look at the community comments; these are not all of the feedbacks

PWinstanley: github issues tend to be one per issue; while community issues are complex

roba: there is an active discussion around the domain of dct:format and how it is used in DCAT
… PROF followed DCAT practice
… if that's a problem, we need to deal with it

PWinstanley: Has this been acknowleged? yes

ncar: yes, brought out specific issues in github

PWinstanley: need to track what we've done so we can report to w3c

ncar: need still to finalize
… have been talking with Tom Baker
… have we actually captured their points? need to be sure

<PWinstanley> ... or is more or less satisfactory

<PWinstanley> kcoyle: the procedure is that we need to return to the people who comment and ensure that our response (the changes) either meets their needs

kcoyle: procedure is to get back to them to see if they are satisfied

PWinstanley: comments from Kam Hay Fung

ncar: initially sent an email to Lars; asked to sent to public or raise issues
… some have been addressed.

PWinstanley: how much is internal to our group and how much involved IETF?

ncar: haven't had feedback from Ruben or Herbert
… there's not specific requirement for comment from them and Lars is in contact with them to make sure we are coordinated with them
… we will need a confirmation from those working on IETF draft

PWinstanley: comments from ARDC
… mainly conneg
… is this for Lars?

roba: first round were about orientation regarding profiles
… were about profiles ontology

ncar: were clarifications, not continued issues

PWinstanley: cataloging of geo-spatial datasets is a big one for many countried

roba: a thread we need better guidance for
… need to make usage patterns more visible

<PWinstanley> ... there are general issues and we need a definitive response

<PWinstanley> kcoyle: It would be nice to get a better description of what people are needing here and what / how we should respond to that.

roba: how the documents all relate to each other
… there's an issues around design choice of profiles to follow DCAT

<PWinstanley> roba: fair point and we need to deal with them in plenary because they are about coordination between our deliverables

roba: issue around a generalized issue of a distribution
… do we regard use case of cataloging so important that we would bring metadata for cataloging into PROF

roba: I could draft a solution; would like discussion of fundamental issue - pattern in dcat relating to dct:format
… or is descriptor a proxy for thing being described
… how much we should follow the DCAT model? they could be radically different solutions

PWinstanley: DCAT work is mature; less risk to bring DCAT elements to PROF than vice-versa

alejandra: Not sure; we could lean on DCAT is already used in profiles; we need to also consider the practical terms

roba: dcat says domain of dct:format is dcat:distribution; comment from shex group is that artifact has format
… but we could force that
… if you have an RDF graph then the format is an RDF graph
… get a sense of how DCAT resolves that perspective

PWinstanley: where are we with responding to the comments from ARDC?

https://‌lists.w3.org/‌Archives/‌Public/‌public-dxwg-comments/‌2019Feb/‌0003.html

ncar: we've responded to comments; for next pwd we'll have a check to see if they've been done

PWinstanley: comments from Paul Walk
… DCMI perspective, but not offiial

ncar: there's a follow-on that we need to do

<alejandra> about dct:format and domain dcat:Distribution, it is in the DCAT spec but it is not on the RDF file (dcat.ttl) (at least I cannot find it)

ncar: goes to 3rd public working draft
… replied off-list

PWinstanley: need to do our book-keeping; moving on to issues

issues to close

https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌issues/‌5

... do later when Antoine is here

... issue #9 - ongoing

<alejandra> it is in this milestone: https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌milestone/‌17

alejandra: #45 - has been added to 2nd pwd by Lars

https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌issues/‌5

<PWinstanley> https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌issues/‌60

roba: #60 comments doesn't seem to be resolved; dcat community has not addressed that issue
… could be useful for data qube

Jaroslav_Pullmann: seems to have no resolution

alejandra: I don't think we have discussed this on a call; we could add this to the agenda
… we can bump this up

roba: fits in with recommending other vocabularies for specific jobs

alejandra: might be a case - we did discuss research data profile; not including in current milestone

roba: comment from SHACL WG

Jaroslav_Pullmann: use case that is related to requirement is broader - semantics within the data;
… dimensions of data qube could be one

not closing #60

#70 publication control

PWinstanley: rights, etc. has been dealt with

<roba> when do we close a requirement - when we can reference a solution?

Jaroslav_Pullmann: requirement related to Uc 25 - do not think there is yet a solution; how to specify usage policies on metadata itself
… ok to copy metadata but need to synchronize

PWinstanley: #174 - non-English labels and comments
… some have been added; can this be closed?

DaveBrowning: not sure we can close so we have not been consistent in updating ttl file, will need a cleanup

Makx: when looking at new properties, only in English

PWinstanley: keep as place-marker for final clean-up

ncar: have a volunteer for other languages; better when vocabulary complete

alejandra: this is just the german translation, this brings up what to do with new properties
… brings up contributions from folks not in working group

<alejandra> https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌dxwg/‌blob/‌gh-pages/‌CONTRIBUTING.md

alejandra: need ruling on how contributions from non-group members are brought in

<PWinstanley> https://‌lists.w3.org/‌Archives/‌Public/‌public-dxwg-comments/‌2019Jan/‌0001.html

<alejandra> that page mentions something but only for Pull Requests and not for contributions on the comments

PWinstanley: comments from SHACL

roba: mainly questions about expectations; needs review of wording

PWinstanley: started voting for things on github: if there are things we can vote on, please let us know
… or could be within a working group
… outcome of votes need to be recorded in minutes
… and we need to close issues with note pointing to minutes for resolution
… sprint coming up on Thursday for profgui document
… please join in

alejandra: doing another DCAT sprint - please fill in Doodle poll

<annette_g> Thanks all!
