TPAC 2025

elianaP: TPAC will be in Japan this year, and happen in november

caribou: TPAC is the annual all-group meeting. It's an opportunity to meet other working groups.
… It's organized over a week. Working groups usually choose either Monday-Tuesday or Thursday-Friday as the two days they want to meet.
… The Wednesday is the 'T' of TPAC, the technical day, where there are breakouts on all kinds of topics.
… You can learn things about what's done in other groups,
… hybrid is actually quite nice, with the cameras tracking who's speaking
… will be in Kobe; the question is whether we want to meet there; we need to give the organizers an update by end of this week
… will the RDF working group meet there?

TallTed?

TallTed: I believe we are planning to meet, I won't be there physically though

elianaP: are there people interested in attending?

jeswr: I'll be there, as ISWC is happening the week before in Nara

ajnelson-nist: is there a list of all the active groups at W3C right now?

<TallTed> lists of active groups -- https://www.w3.org/groups/

<caribou> https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/

caribou: If you look at them, they are quite recent, so working groups tend to wait until the deadline to answer.
… So, we don't know for sure which groups we are able to meet with unless we talk to their chairs directly.
… we might also have community groups there. Interest groups and community groups can also request some time, but usually not the whole two days that working groups require.

elianaP: I'm not sure if there are any other groups, other than the RDF group, that we should be interfacing with in November. I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

David: There are also updates on SPARQL, right? Is that somehow covered in the RDF group already, or...?

caribou: I think so. It's the RDF and SPARQL Working Group, so it's included in their charter. This is the same group.

ajnelson-nist: If you wanted to think about groups using SHACL, there is the Dataset Exchange Working Group.

ajnelson-nist: A U.S. Government adaptation of DCAT uses SHACL, but I don't know if the DCAT3 non-US version uses SHACL directly.

caribou: I'm not sure about the Dataset Exchange Working Group because their charter is expiring. I'm unaware of their renewal status.

simonstey: all meetings happening now at 2pm CEST

<caribou> Agendabot does not know how to scrape agendas from a GH page, it seems

<TallTed> yeah. it did a better job not long ago. I just wanted RRSAgent to pick up the link. next time I'll `i/...` which doesn't trigger agendabot.

<caribou> you can use the -> syntax as well
