riccardoAlbertoni: Next PR

<riccardoAlbertoni> https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/1508

riccardoAlbertoni: There are some open questions - used of multiple instances of dcterms:modified and URI for W3C.
… In DCAT we recommend using dcterms:modified only once. Shoudl we follow this approach here?

AndreaPerego: The question is whether it is useful to have all the modification dates or just the latest.

riccardoAlbertoni: There may be use cases for that, and I don't see much harm in keeping more than one - but maybe not all.
… For instance, we can just keep only the modification date since we started working on DCAT3.
… What do you think?

proposed: we keep only the modification dates starting from the first draft of DCAT3

riccardoAlbertoni: The other issue about the URI for W3C.
… We can just use the home page of W3C.

proposed: as the URI we use the URL of the W3C homepage

riccardoAlbertoni: I'll take care of updating the PR accordingly.

riccardoAlbertoni: Next PR

<riccardoAlbertoni> https://services.w3.org/htmldiff?doc1=https://w3c.github.io/dxwg/dcat/&doc2=https://raw.githack.com/w3c/dxwg/issue-1536/dcat/index.html#Property:dataset_spatial_resolution

riccardoAlbertoni: This PR is about changing the datatype for spatial resolution.

AndreaPerego: I see some discussion happening in the issue that triggered this PR: https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1536
… I have the impression that this is just an implementation-related issue, and I am not sure it should be addressed in DCAT - maybe we can add a note on that.
… Eventually, the datatypes we specify are meant to indicate as exactly as possible which are the expected values. Implementation-wise, they can be changed depending on the requirements.

riccardoAlbertoni: Let's try to keep as it is and change the usage note to explain that compatible datatypes can be used.

AndreaPerego: Fine with me.

riccardoAlbertoni: Any objections.

DaveBrowning: No objections.

nobu_ogura: No objections.

AOB

riccardoAlbertoni: About the next meeting, let's skip it, and move it to January.
… Let's say, Jan, 10th.

<riccardoAlbertoni> proposed: next DCAT submeeting on Jan, 10th.

riccardoAlbertoni: The file above ^^ summarises the open issues.
… If you can choose the issues with no assignee you can deal with, that would be great.

AndreaPerego: About the implementation report, do we have an idea when we have to deliver it?

riccardoAlbertoni: This will be next year.
