LS: started assigning people to action items
... asking Roy about BCI patent policy issues

<Roy> https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20200915/

Roy: still being discussed - patent policy at W3C is complex

JS: BCI seemed willing to be cooperative with us as well

JF: +1 to Janina's recollection

<LisaSeemanKest> It makes the purpose of the element machine readable.

<LisaSeemanKest> For symbols, it makes the purpose of the symbol machine readable.

Definition of semantyics: the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. There are a number of branches and subbranches of semantics, including formal semantics, which studies the logical aspects of meaning, such as sense, reference, implication, and logical form, lexical semantics, which studies word meanings and word relations, and conceptual semantics, which studies the cognitive structure of meaning.

<LisaSeemanKest> We agree that authors are (hopefully) used to the idea that semantics

<LisaSeemanKest> relate to the purpose (role) of an element, or its other characteristics

<LisaSeemanKest> (name, state, etc.).

<LisaSeemanKest> We think our specification is part of that. For example, the purpose of

<LisaSeemanKest> this field is to get your email address, or the purpose of a link is to

<LisaSeemanKest> take you to the contact us Page.
