Meeting minutes

deliverables

elianaP: we should be >close< in having everything ready
… nick would like to initiate the submission for wide review for each document next thursday
… so I'm asking everyone to take any necessary steps so that they feel confident in the documents -> mainly that they indicate the main areas of work
… haven't heard back from compact syntax grp, will probably have to drop back to a note

task force updates

elianaP: core, sparql, node expr

HolgerK: no specific updates

<AndyS> Don't we have phase one docs in WR already?

HolgerK: documents are basically ready

elianaP: profiles?

ajnelson-nist: we did have a meeting last week but not a lot has changed in our status of the document and its readiness for wide review since the last meeting
… outline is done, we have a lot of examples to fill in

elianaP: SHACL UI?

bergos: we have a PR for the intro that's almost ready to be merged
… we have other PRs that we will discuss tmrw
… we have all the sections there (some of which arent filled yet)

elianaP: rules?

AndyS: we have a couple of PRs in progress
… some of which are necessary before we can say we've got any kind of coverage
… waiting on approvals on that
… we're missing the RDF representation, but got the shapes and definitions

elianaP: no text is fine as long as the intention behind the section is somewhat clear

simonstey: will review!

elianaP: will skip compact syntax

w3c/data-shapes#576

ajnelson-nist: as HolgerK said, it's not the best thing to do
… will discuss next week or drop it altogether
