<Souri> s/too will at/too will be at/

adrian: meeting cancelled for next week

Proposal for next week's discussion 3

ktk: anyone oppose to remove the needs discussion for all four?

andys: we could remove needs discussion from 187

gkellog: there are some issues..I dont know that we need to tag them on this particular issue
… but in terms of what is the expected behavior of implementations faced with these explicit versions...

<gb> #187

ktk: but then we could say remove it here and follow up

gkellog: I think its probably better to do that, move things forward and sort of stepping up a little biut higher and then we can deal with that later

ora: that sounds good

<AndyS> My action from last week is w3c/rdf-concepts#202 -- will be a PR when 187 is merged.

<gb> Issue 202 Version labels for RDF profiles. (by afs) [spec:enhancement]

ktk: I seein the minutes and please oppose if you disagree that the map the annotation syntax (issue #128) conclusion is close this issue and create a new one

andys: overtaken by the issue an idea of concepts about what labels we have

ktk: and it could be closed. its a correct interpretation 135

gkellog: ..confusion still about if the basic profile is officially called the basic profile

ktk: we leave them on top and we would do a reosolution as a first task in two weeks

<TallTed> s/ nnotation/ annotation/

ktk: leave 135 and 70 open the first two
… i see next one wasd also discussed what properties can or should link to triple terms

ora: cant remember exactly what we did decide..

gkellog: my understanding now is that there are no normative requirements on properties linking to triple terms
… it all comes out of the semantics..

ora: we can do an action. we can close this.

<gb> Cannot create action. Validation failed. Maybe <person> is not a valid user for w3c/rdf-star-wg?

ACTION: ora to write a non-normative description (in "what's new") about what properties can or should link to triple terms

<gb> Created action #159

ora: what else do we want to discuss next time?

gkellogg: turtle 89 which is absolute IRI without a base IRI
… theres been some confusion going back to at least RDF 1.1.
… what it means to use a full form of an IRI...
… we use to call it an absolute IRI
… i think we need to discuss this issue sooner rather than later since it affects tests that have been open for some time...

andys: i think we can remove the need discussion label on sparql update 42
… it might turn into a needs discussion...

ktk: ok, but not right now. good. done.

ora: rdf concepts 170
… and rdf* wg group 130. are those really the same issue?
… should we discuss together?
… i think they should be discussed together

ktk: so 170 and 130

andys: the probably do go together but they are not the same

<TallTed> w3c/rdf-concepts#170

<gb> Issue 170 Decide names and namespace for constituent properties of classic triple terms (by niklasl) [needs discussion]

<TallTed> w3c/rdf-star-wg#130

<gb> Issue 130 vocabulary to refer to the individual nodes in a triple term (by rat10) [needs discussion]

tl: your talking about vocabulary to refer to individual notes in a triple term

ora: thats the 130

ktk: we have roughly four topics

ora: hopefully first two dispatch quickly

ktk: if we really still have time can go back to the list

Review of open actions, available at 4

ora: moving on

enrico8: no update on my action
… sorry

Review of pull requests, available at 5

ora: pull requests....
… anybody want to discuss these editorial

gkellogg: the first one that shows up...i think we decided to close

ktk: i was confused to why this is still open

gkellogg: i think theres been pushback...might require chair response

ora: ....the one where we dont want to use uppercase on those specific things if its a non-normative section?

pfps: theres a slew of these...have concept changes...
… it would be nice to have changes marked correctly...
… im going through and changing them some of myself and putting questions ...

gkellogg: 191 uses both editorial and enhancement. so its really should be one or the other

pfps: im looking at 195 which essentially changes..

andys: 194 and 198 have unresolved discussion so they are not ready to merge

gkellogg: this related to whether a prefix is an IRI

andys: yeah

gkellogg: better for Pierre to take charge of these things..

<ktk> 1?

ora: what about 187?

andys: proceed as a normal PR.

ktk: 173....no feed back

ora: what about #42?

<gb> MERGED Pull Request 42 Systems and Acronyms originally in the wiki. (by gkellogg)

ora: 47? seems like a usability related...

andys: ...something has to be done for them. I dont think it works...

<pfps> have to go now

ora: i feel like we should merge these and if someone complains....open an issue for that

ktk: who would merge them?

andys: i dont think merging actually helps us much in this case...

<TallTed> for contrast checking: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/

ktk: i see one more issue. the one in sparql federated query
… ted requested some changes...

tallted: have not reviewed this specifically.... i will have to look and see.
