Unsure of wiki 12:16:55 ... is it repository per deliverable? Is the implementation report a deliverable, or a dependency? 12:17:25 RiccardoAlbertoni: The implementation report was not a separate deliverable. It should be in the same repo with DCAT 12:18:22 ... let's discuss who takes ownership of the repo migration 12:19:43 ... It makes sense that Simon gets admin permission and replicates what has been done elsewhere, RiccardoAlbertoni will take up missing items 12:20:03 Simon: Then the moved DCAT resources should be removed from the original repo? 12:20:19 RiccardoAlbertoni: This should be discussed at the WG plenary meeting 12:21:26 ... created a couple of issues regarding RDF representation management and things that would help in future maintenance of the repo 12:22:19 Simon: Will proceed with the move of the DCAT directory to the new repo 12:22:39 action to simon Will proceed with the move of the DCAT directory to the new repo 12:23:07 ACTION: Simon to move the directory 12:23:23 Zakim, next item 12:23:23 agendum 2 -- Maintenance Scope vs. Versioning Policy -- taken up [from RiccardoAlbertoni] 12:24:04 RiccardoAlbertoni: Tried to use issue labels for Classes of change 12:24:28 ... Classes 1 and 2 can be published in the current REC upon voting in the WG 12:24:44 action: simon to https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#revising-rec 12:25:15 actions? 12:25:26 rrsagent, drop action 2 12:25:32 s/action: simon to https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#revising-rec// 12:25:49 https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#revising-rec 12:27:11 RiccardoAlbertoni: Different kinds of recommendation revisions 12:27:19 ... in the W3C process 12:28:40 ... we need to decide whether we are going to deliver a new REC or not 12:29:23 ... for minor changes, we maintain the list of current editors, for new features and substantial changes (class 4 and 3) we may remove editors of the previous version 12:29:50 Simon: only periferally involved in DCATv3 12:30:11 ... not really up to speed with the scope and scale of the work to be done with DCAT 12:30:26 ... was this presented at the WG plenary? 12:31:19 RiccardoAlbertoni: We have many issues, most of them reformulation, explanation, guidance improvement 12:31:39 ... already requests for new properties though 12:32:05 ... e.g. the new dcat:datasetSeries property, which is probably easy 12:32:36 ... for that, we do not need to collect an actual use, it may be enough to just say it makes sense to have it 12:32:53 ... Jakub had some ideas about machine readability of DCAT 12:33:14 ... might be substantial change or feature 12:39:21 Jakub described what is missing in the DCAT REC from the machine-processability point of view - machine-readable representation of the DCAT REC as a whole, perhaps using PROF vocaulary, and machine readable representation of profiles of terms from other vocabularies in the context of DCAT 12:39:48 RiccardoAlbertoni: Jakub should open an issue on this and explain 12:40:44 ... every new feature in REC requires independent implementations 12:41:20 ACTION: Jakub open issue on what could be done for improving machine readablity of DCAT 12:42:34 RiccardoAlbertoni: we are not 100% sure we will deliver DCAT4 12:43:04 ... it is a difficult process 12:43:43 Simon: we also considered a living standard, but that is hard to do for W3C 12:44:05 RiccardoAlbertoni: Next actions are to finish the repo transfer, so that we can start working 12:44:34 ... class1 and class2 issue resolutions could be merged, class3 and class4 should not be merged 12:44:47 ... we need to decide about providing a new DCAT release or not before that 12:45:26 rrsagent, draft minutes 12:45:28 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2026/09/11-dx-dcat-minutes.html Jakub 12:46:36 RiccardoAlbertoni: This is the first time we are not starting with a new deliverable, which is more straightforward than having the options now 12:46:43 actions? 12:46:59 Zakim, next item 12:46:59 agendum 3 -- RDF Automated Maintenance (https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1639) -- taken up [from RiccardoAlbertoni] 12:48:14 RiccardoAlbertoni: experimenting with gh actions for automatic generation of RDF representations in other formats. Goal is to keep the diff to minimum. 12:48:28 ... goal is to change only RDF Turtle file, generate the others 12:48:44 s/file/files 12:49:39 ... let's take it step by step, first work on smaller issues 12:49:45 ... integrate Echidna later 12:50:08 Simon: There is experience in the SSN ontology, just got it working 12:51:12 RiccardoAlbertoni: Maybe we could first integrate with Echidna? Every merged PR going into the working draft could be dangerous 12:52:09 Simon: merged about 30 PRs in the SSN ontology, feedback gets back quickly. But there was a policy decision early in the process that merging in the main branch requires 2 positive reviews 12:52:54 ... when the reviews took a long time, it was frustrating. 12:53:45 ... the review process reduced the number of small merges. 12:54:36 RiccardoAlbertoni: alternatively, we could have a side-branch for quick publication, and keep the main branch as an editor draft 12:55:06 ... so only once more changes are reviewed, they get to the main branch, in a more controlled way 12:55:41 ... we already have the 2-review requirement in place 12:56:48 Simon: Is the main branch gh-pages? 12:57:12 RiccardoAlbertoni: now yes, gh-pages 12:57:49 agenda? 12:58:30 zakim, next item 12:58:30 agendum 4 -- Priority Issues for Discussion - Versioning in DCAT 3: Omit PAV subproperty definition (https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1632) -- taken up [from RiccardoAlbertoni] 13:01:29 rrsagent, draft minutes 13:01:30 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2026/09/11-dx-dcat-minutes.html Jakub 13:01:41 rrsagent, draft minutes 13:01:43 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2026/09/11-dx-dcat-minutes.html RiccardoAlbertoni 13:02:10 Zakim, take up agendum 3 13:02:10 agendum 3 -- RDF Automated Maintenance (https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1639) -- taken up [from RiccardoAlbertoni] 13:02:13 rrsagent, draft minutes 13:02:14 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2026/09/11-dx-dcat-minutes.html Jakub 13:03:36 Jakub has left #dx-dcat
