Process 2020 was answering questions about the ways to show the current version of a standard that is in active development 20:16:01 ... where there are no requirements to demonstrate implementation. The only illustration being WG consensus. 20:16:41 ... At the other end of the spectrum there are existing recommendations that need small changes/corrections without having to wait a year or more to effect change 20:17:35 ... P2020 allows this. It requires the WG to work out what they want and then to pick the type/s of mode/s that work best for them 20:18:14 ... There are not the same constraints on timing. 20:19:12 ... Standards can be fixed in time, with periods of a specific version being in effect. 20:20:05 ... Although P2020 is active, it is not active (yet) for all WG - this administrative step will take place in November. 20:21:37 ... In the new world the royalty-free commitment will be secured from the point of CR Snapshot and PWD1, rather than from the publication of the Rec 20:21:51 alejandra has joined #dxwg 20:22:01 ... Management of DCAT is up to the group to decide 20:23:27 scribenick: AndreaPerego 20:24:15 plh: About DCAT, in case it is used by some gov agency, maybe it would be better to stick to the old path. 20:24:40 ... Usually, they are more confortable when they have a specific version to link to. 20:25:34 ... But this is not the case, then you can go for the other option - a living document. 20:26:19 ... So, what do you want? 20:26:53 PWinstanley: Thanks, plh . Actually, this is something to be brought to the broad group. 20:27:24 ... I think for DXWG it depends on which deliverable we are talking about. 20:29:33 plh: In case the group decides to stick to the old REC path for some deliverable, now the procedure is simpler. 20:29:58 q+ 20:30:22 ack AndreaPerego 20:30:34 present+ 20:32:08 AndreaPerego: thanks plh for the explanation. If we have a living doc that can be changed at any time, the community of users (e.g gov agencies for DCAT) might prefer the previous approach where there are defined releases. Is there any policy to follow to use a living doc but to prevent breaks? 20:32:29 plh: it is up to the WG to sort out a working approach for this 20:32:48 ... the WG needs to evaluate, and connect with its user community 20:33:13 AndreaPerego: Are there any policies to be followed for living documents, e.g., ensuring backward compatibility to prevent existing implementations from being broken? 20:33:20 +q 20:33:24 ack riccardoAlbertoni 20:33:30 plh: No, it is up to the WG to decide. 20:33:57 riccardoAlbertoni: living standards have a publication structure 20:34:42 ... if in e.g. DCAT we have a new part, is the PWD a way to get feedback? 20:35:05 s/AndreaPerego: Are there any policies to be followed for living documents, e.g., ensuring backward compatibility to prevent existing implementations from being broken?// 20:35:06 ... or are we forced to work at the level of CR Snapshot? 20:35:13 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 20:35:13 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/10/06-dxwg-minutes.html AndreaPerego 20:36:01 s/plh: No, it is up to the WG to decide.// 20:36:04 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 20:36:04 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/10/06-dxwg-minutes.html AndreaPerego 20:36:12 plh: CR Draft can be published - it just requires a WG decision. The CR Snapshot can only be made not less than every 6 months 20:36:12 scribenick: PWinstanley 20:36:14 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 20:36:14 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/10/06-dxwg-minutes.html AndreaPerego 20:37:03 ... new features can only be added if authorised to do so when getting permission to publish the propsed recommendation 20:37:15 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 20:37:15 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/10/06-dxwg-minutes.html AndreaPerego 20:37:16 ... which is not the case for DCAT 20:37:57 ... once the PR authorises it then the authority is for ever 20:39:18 ... When there are proposed changes, there will be a call for exclusion and AC review so that they can become normative 20:39:34 https://w3c.github.io/tr-design/p2020mockup/rec-6.2.11.3.html 20:39:54 ... this is a sample of one that contains proposed changes 20:40:25 ... The style is still open to change - the key is to ensure that the proposed changes are easily identified 20:41:02 ... If you don't want to do all of that, then the CR Snapshot is the route to take 20:41:22 ... These choices are not mutually exclusive 20:41:58 ... The key is to ensure that the user community understands the process and the status of the product/s 20:42:35 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 20:42:35 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/10/06-dxwg-minutes.html AndreaPerego 20:42:42 q+ 20:42:47 ack AndreaPerego 20:43:21 AndreaPerego: we may want to discuss versioning to update alejandra 20:43:27 +q 20:43:33 ack riccardoAlbertoni 20:43:34 topic: DCAT 20:43:38 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 20:43:38 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/10/06-dxwg-minutes.html AndreaPerego 20:43:46 https://w3c.github.io/dxwg/dcat/#dataset-versions 20:43:56 riccardoAlbertoni: the decision to merge changes related to versioning - see link. s10 has been updated 20:44:45 ... the rationale is to show the summary of what is a very wide discussion and guides people to contribute to that discussion 20:45:16 ... there is an agreement on the solution 20:45:53 ... but there is a need for more discussion on issue #1251 20:46:01 ... and #868 20:47:51 AndreaPerego: the extended version of the versioning section includes preliminary considerations in 3 sections. version information and resource lifecycle are not problematic. There is a consensus. Version types, on the other hand, is more problematic 20:48:13 ... we have not solved this as the definition is community-specific 20:49:03 ... There is github discussion on the use of FRBR - it has a rich model. 20:49:57 ... by publishing at this stage we are looking to stimulate feedback from the group 20:51:01 alejandra: I think defining version types is useul in giving us a route to showing relationships between versions 20:51:35 ... I also want to mention that there is a UN Data Forum recorded session where I promoted DCAT 20:52:22 ... this forum will take place online - 20:52:28 https://unstats.un.org/unsd/undataforum/index.html 20:52:40 https://unstats.un.org/unsd/undataforum/index.html 20:52:50 yes, that's it 20:53:27 alejandra: my talk was about bridging between statistical and scientific data 20:53:49 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 20:53:49 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/10/06-dxwg-minutes.html AndreaPerego 20:54:46 s/useul/useful 20:55:18 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 20:55:18 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/10/06-dxwg-minutes.html alejandra 20:56:14 Thanks all, have a good night! 20:56:26 Thanks, bye bye! 20:56:30 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 20:56:30 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/10/06-dxwg-minutes.html AndreaPerego
