Ege: Any remarks?
… minutes look good. Approved.

Binding Templates

Registry

<kaz> Binding Issue 143 - "Protocol Binding" vs. "Binding Template"

<EgeKorkan> w3c/wot-binding-templates#143 (comment)

Ege: Discussion on naming
… people had different opinions
… Koster said option 3 is acceptable too

Cristiano: I am okay moving forward
… let's go with number 3

<EgeKorkan> Selected Option: "3. nothing: WoT X Binding -> WoT Bindings Registry"

Ege: We still need to agree on the definition of other documents

Ege: The proposed definitions are
… WoT X Binding
… WoT Bindings Registry
… Binding Instance
… WoT Bindings Registry Requirements

(Ege lists related resources on the GitHub comments)

Ege: do we need any other concepts?

Kaz: I'm OK with the list as the starting point
… but we should record this as a dedicated MD file also

Ege: yeah, would be included in HTML in the end
… (visits the "Terminology" section from the WoT Architecture spec)
… various definitions here as well

Kaz: tx
… then we can update the list via Pullrequest once we have copied it to a MD :)

Ege: right

(some more discussion)

<Ege updating issue 143 collecting comments and information>
… see output here: w3c/wot-binding-templates#143 (comment)

<cris> +1 looking good

<kaz> wot-binding-templates-registry/requirements.md

Ege: Let's go to supporting documents
… WoT X Binding Summary: a document that summarizes the binding with an abstract, examples, ...
… WoT X Binding JSON Schema: allows validating the elements added by the WoT X Binding
… WoT X Binding JSON-LD Context: a machine-readable document that defines all the terms to be used in a binding instance, which allows the terms to be dereferenced by a JSON-LD parser

Cristiano: RDF vs OWL?

Ege: right, we might want to split human-readable vs machine-readable
… X Vocabulary Document: a human-readable version
… X Vocabulary in RDF: a machine-readable RDF document

Cristiano: Mention dependencies between the 2 afore mentioned documents?

Ege: Yes, we should mention that all documents should be synchronized
… will move content from w3c/wot-binding-templates#143 (comment) to Markdown

Ege: BTW, Kaz needs to change the repo names .. without "templates"

<EgeKorkan> proposal: The Task Force agrees to change the name of the proposed registry from "WoT Binding Templates Registry" to "WoT Bindings Registry". The newly created repository should be changed to "w3c/wot-bindings-registry"

RESOLUTION: The Task Force agrees to change the name of the proposed registry from "WoT Binding Templates Registry" to "WoT Bindings Registry". The newly created repository should be changed to "w3c/wot-bindings-registry"

Kaz: "binding" or "bindings" ?

Ege: The latter
… GitHub should handle re-direction

Requirements document

Ege: PR 427, w3c/wot-binding-templates#427
… we should delete beforehands...
… CA gave it's okay
… merging

Ege: the rest of the issues have been moved

[adjourned]
