eparsons: going through agenda
<eparsons> https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Patent_Call
eparsons: patent call
<frans> overview of recent changes in the UC&R document: http://w3c.github.io/sdw/UseCases/SDWUseCasesAndRequirements.html#SPWD-TPWD
frans: UC&R
introduction
... some changes to requirements have been made
<frans> https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/products/1
frans: 6 possible upcoming
changes
... other subgroups should be aware of these new
requirements
eparsons: are there any requirements we can close now?
frans: more that people are aware of them
kerry: let's work through the list of requirements
frans: issue-75
<phila> issue-75?
<trackbot> issue-75 -- quality metadata out of scope? -- open
<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/75
frans: quality for each set of data point may be needed
kerry: quality indicators can be modelled in SSN
<Zakim> jtandy, you wanted to ask if the requirement is a little more generic ...
kerry: SSN will be linked to
Coverage which is one requirement
... in my opinion, it is out of scope here
jtandy: data acquisition may be another use case where you attach metadata to a data point
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to talk about DQV
jtandy: i have not seen a common
practice how to attach metadata to the data point
... for example, someone says the flood water has come to their
house. it would be useful to see metadata attached to
that.
... attach metadata to a dataset record
kerry: it is a pattern, not an ontological requirement
phila: I don't think it is out of
scope
... we don't have to do it ourselves, other working groups have
done that
<phila> DQV
phila: it is in scope, it is important to talk about accuracy and precision. It is important for the editors for those deliverables to include examples how to use it.
<Zakim> ericP, you wanted to say that clinical sometimes relegate uncertainty to extensibility mechanisms have lots include stuff like at-least or at-most in the core
billrobe_: identify individual data points might be a requirement too.
ericP: clinical domain, where it was very important to talk about quality of data
eparsons: we could close issue-75 by saying it is in scope
frans: do we have a
crowd-sourcing use case?
... use case to attach metadata not for datasets, but for
individual data points
RESOLUTION: Issue-75 is in scope, close issue-75.
<BartvanLeeuwen> +1
<eparsons> +1
frans: make it a requirement for best practices, potentially also for SSN
+1
frans: Issue-70
<phila> close issue-75
<trackbot> Closed issue-75.
<phila> issue-70?
<trackbot> issue-70 -- Add a requirement for avoiding coordinate transformations? -- open
<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/70
https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/70
frans: I don't think anyone is opposed to this requirement
eparsons: can we talk about the
wording
... putting a huge effort on the publishers, realistically we
don't project data to multiple coordinate reference systems
ByronCinNZ: default CRS should be the fall back
<frans> proposed requirement: *Requirement: *Data consumers should be helped in avoiding coordinate
<frans> transformations when spatial data from multiple sources are combined.
billrobe_: in practice we talk about 2 CRS covering 99% of the use cases
<Zakim> jtandy, you wanted to suggest that we're missing a best practice for publishing in multiple formats and representations?
billrobe_: the publisher taking work of the user is a good thing
jtandy: if you publish in the CRS
of your national agencies requirement, look at your audience
and decide if you can publish in multiple CRSs, e.g. your
national and mercator
... if you can afford it, do it
eparsons: finesse the wording
here. publish in multiple CRS to meet your user
requirements
... e.g. if you are in Britain, publish in British national
grid and another one
frans: we need to keep the
requirement phrased as a requirement, not to propose a
solution
... one solution is to publish data using multiple CRS, but we
should not include that in the requirement
<phila> phila: Notes BWBP 14 https://www.w3.org/TR/dwbp/#MultipleFormats
<phila> phila: As many users as possible will be able to use the data without first having to transform it into their preferred format.
kerry: the publishers are our
users as well. We should make the life easy for both.
... how to we identify the CRS and is there a default CRS?
<Zakim> jtandy, you wanted to agree with Frans
jtandy: there is never to be a
default CRS
... we can't make a reference to a coordinate without a
CRS!
phila: best practice 14 from
dwbp
... as many people as possible will be able to use the data
without transforming it
https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/CR-dwbp-20160830/#MultipleFormats
ericP: encouraged to publish in
standard format is always a good best practice
... if there is a publisher who does not use the standard
format, a third party can come along and do the
transformation
eparsons: can we close that
issue?
... pass it on to the best practices requirements
<phila> PROPOSED: Close issue-70 that we need to pass this on to BP to handle, encouraging publishers' need to meet broadest possible community
<AndreaPerego> +1
<eparsons> +1
RESOLUTION: Close issue-70 that we need to pass this on to BP to handle, encouraging publishers' need to meet broadest possible community
<ByronCinNZ> +1
<AZ> +1

<phila> close issue-70
<trackbot> Closed issue-70.
<phila> issue-74?
<trackbot> issue-74 -- That uom and precision and accuracy should be covered in ucr and bp (and respected in other deliverables too) -- open
<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/74
frans: issue-74
... current proposal is to have unit of measurements should
always be included in observations
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to dig into "unit of measurements should always be included in observations"
phila: dwbp, uom should be included, but not in the string, but as a separate attribute
danbri: in schema.org we have
some workarounds
... space between $ and price, but it is not a best practice as
such
eparsons: wouldn't the uom not be part of the metadata of the dataset
kerry: it is very particular kind of metadata. If you have spatial data and you don't have the uom, it is useless. So it is essential metadata.
<AndreaPerego> There's an example in DQV on the use of UoMs for data accuracy and precision: https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dqv/#ExpressDatasetAccuracyPrecision
<phila> PROPOSED: That it is q requirement to have UoM included
<eparsons> +1
<BartvanLeeuwen> +1
<jtandy> +1
<Linda> +1
<billrobe_> +1
+1
<AndreaPerego> +1
<ByronCinNZ> +1
RESOLUTION: That it is a requirement to have UoM included, close issue-74
<kerry> +1
<phila> close issue-74
<trackbot> Closed issue-74.
<frans> issue 74 proposal 1: We expand CRS definition requirement a bit to make it clear that a CRS definition should include an indication of UoM. For instance:
<frans> "There should be a recommended way of referencing a Coordinate Reference System (CRS) with a HTTP URI, and to get useful data about the CRS when that URI is dereferenced. The CRS data should include the unit of measurement of the CRS."
<frans> issue 74 proposal 2: We add a new requirement:
<frans> "The use of precision that matches uncertainty in coordinate data should be facilitated and encouraged"
issue-76?
<trackbot> issue-76 -- New requirement for multiple CRSs? -- open
<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/76
<phila> issue-76?
<trackbot> issue-76 -- New requirement for multiple CRSs? -- open
<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/76
jtandy: there is no requirement to have multiple CRSs, but data should be accessible, which could be multiple CRSs
kerry: it is same as issue-70
<ericP> issue-70
<trackbot> issue-70 -- Add a requirement for avoiding coordinate transformations? -- closed
<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/70
jtandy: geojson does not support
multiple representations of the same data
... so you split data out in different representations
ericP: 70 says to minimise
transformations, 76 is a solution to that
... rephrase 76 to make it a requirement
frans: to publish multiple CRS can have different reasons, i.e. to follow standards, not just to make it easier for users
<kerry> +1 to eric's comment -- make sure issue 70 is just phrased right
eparsons: close 76 and it is 70, but rephrased
frans: publishing in multiple CRS is already a practice, but they don't know what the best practice is
<phila> PROPOSED: Issue-76 is close enough to issue-70 that we can cover it in the way we closed 70, although there is a difference in perspective
eparsons: close enough, they will both be covered in best practices document
<phila> PROPOSED: There are cases where there is a requirement for more than one CRS, so we can close issue-76

<scribe> scribenick: kerry
<RaulGarciaCastro> I’ll come back after lunch
<ByronCinNZ> Yes
<jtandy> BTW: the summary of SDW bps is here - http://w3c.github.io/sdw/bp/#bp-summary
<jtandy> agenda for the BP session is here https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Meetings:F2F4#Monday
jtandy: topic: best
practice
... we don't have time to cover all 17 issues. please help to
priorities
... thankyou for all the expert opinion so far -- but tricky to
distil into workable bps
... linda nad I have bben working hard on this but it is harder
than we expected
... abd we have less time to devote going forward
... we can still do edit and style and steer and rank, but we
need WG members to own sections of the doc (a BP)
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to talk about engagement
jtandy: think of this as you can volunteer for a BP topic
phila: people read the doc
getting close to publication , as i have on the plane
here
... see kadvice from bernadette
bernadette: one person read the
whole doc at a very late point and made a *lot* of comments
which were helpful but took a long time to process
... it is really important if people read the details before
the last minute ..
... we had text that had been there right through that then got
questioned right at the end.
... we had to have meetings on specific points that were
raised, the doc got much better
... but it is important to read t he details asap is better
jtandy: and specific targeted meetins with the person raising the issue
bernadette: also good was f2f to foucs
jtandy: and you got the WG to comment on particular BPs, but it all comes in a rush at the end
phila: in theory we need to every thing finalised right now -- time is running out
jtandy: until 12:30 need to shake
down best practices -- which are the least clear and/or most
important?
... linda is preparing a tally -- which has top priority to
nominate of the 17?
clemens: bp 1, bp 7, a missing one on using complex iso models and how to translate to rdf json and others -- how do we advise data publishers on this?
ClemensPortele: is there a simple solution? Needed for inspire.
billrobe_: 4, 7, 8
eparsons: 4, 7 ,14
BartvanLeeuwen: 4,7,14
AndreaPerego: terminology: spatial thing, features, and its effect on the draft ontology
<eparsons> Note hadleybeeman
s/spaatial/spatial/
AndreaPerego: 7
frans: 8 and 9
Linda: 4, 7, 8
jtandy: 9 (fuzzy boundaries),, 7, something on crowdsourcing
<Linda> any voters on webex?
hadleybeeman: process question: are you planning implementations?
jtandy: we plan to point to implementations in the wild -- but we may have trouble finding some
hadleybeeman: are you separating existing form not yet existing?
jtandy: we expect to indicate that -- things will not be "proper best practices" if not implemented in the wild
ByronCinNZ: 3, 4, 9 but if we are doing 3 anyway i vote for formats (8)
<ByronCinNZ> Yes 8
AZ: 7
jtandy: so we will do top 4.
Linda: 7, 4, 8, 9
jtandy: 20 minutes on each
<jtandy> http://w3c.github.io/sdw/bp/#globally-unique-ids
<phila> BP7
jtandy: pls read the bp for
number 7 now
... there is also a meeting thread
<jtandy> see email summary for BP 7: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdw-wg/2016Aug/0139.html
<jtandy> ahh - that was the top of the thread ... I'm finding the summary now
<jtandy> summary = https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdw-wg/2016Sep/0096.html
eparsons: need some context, e.g.
explaining that now you need to publish stuff at a finer
granularity that you are used to
... when we publish we need that every thing/feature/atomoc
piece needs an identifier
<jtandy> http://w3c.github.io/sdw/bp/#how-to-use
jtandy: I was trying to to unpack
that conecept here http://w3c.github.io/sdw/bp/#how-to-use
... so here's your starting point
<ByronCinNZ> Lost audio
[phone dropped out ... messing around trying to fix]
<ByronCinNZ> Thanks
<jtandy> and the identifiers context is provided here: http://w3c.github.io/sdw/bp/#what-r-u-talking-about
<AZ> audio back
<ByronCinNZ> Cheers
jtandy: ... in irs is link to what are u talking about -- context for identifying -- is that the context we need?
eparsons: yes, but we need bits
of it restated again within the relevant bp presenation: this
will be very new for SDI audience although old hat for web
people
... will laso apply to other BPs where a fundamental change is
recommended
<Zakim> ClemensPortele, you wanted to talk about "Reuse identifiers when you can"
ClemensPortele: reuse identifiers when you can -- how is this going to work?
e.g using dppedia or geonames for the uir, but i want to publish something else -- if you retirve the uri you will not come to my information that i am publishing
s/iur/uri/
ClemensPortele: so my publishing will still be dark becuase noone will come to it
Linda: responding to ed -- is the
"why" section of bp not good enough?
... e.g. BP 7 starts with heading "Why". What is missing?
eparsons: the granularity in particular, not just and enpoint for a wfs, but every object there
Linda: so if you are used to using wfs -- this is how it is different
eparsons: addressed to particular users -- highlght how this is going to be different for you.
jtandy: examples will help with this
billrobe_: on ClemensPortele
point about identifiers,
... it depends on your data model and say you are doing
datacube you do want someeone else's identifier so that you can
interoperate
... one very useful case is the n-ary relations wheret ehe
place is the object of the statement
<danbri> hmm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smeaton%27s_Tower "Smeaton's Tower is the third and most notable Eddystone Lighthouse." -> https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3995634 50°21'51.8"N, 4°8'30.5"W vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddystone_Lighthouse -> https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q546122 50°10'48"N, 4°16'12"W
ByronCinNZ: in realtion to data on the we bp, in our case we need the spatial things themselves
jtandy: dwbp has 2 cases, , thes second is item-level
phila: adwbp a lot of the
examples use it as well
... noone is going to store full uris as a waste of space -- it
may not be stored as a uri but must be translatable to one
easily
ericP: could be a relative URI so properly managed
AndreaPerego: responding to phila , in geospatial catalogues we have unique uids, these can be added to a base uri, is this ok?
<Zakim> danbri, you wanted to ask about syntax (e.g. json-ld would allow foo:bar qualified names, other contexts allow gzip, ...)
danbri: what syntax ? can have
different abbreviations depending on sytax
... can rely on storage tool
<danbri> another e.g. if you're in an XHTML regime you could use entities; in JSON-LD qnames or however JSON-LD calls qualified names.
eparsons: so the best approach is syntax-specific, but the general idea is the same and we need to force the issue
jtandy: content we are heading
the right direction
... billrobe_ what are you specific issues?
billrobe_: BP mostly covers it ... item 3 "stable identifiers" is a complex modelling problem to decide if it does change (e.g. boundaries change and sometimes that is critical) but this is covered in bp as it is
BartvanLeeuwen: agree with clemes becuase need a uri that resolves to what I want to say about it, and the way I want it resolved
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to panic a little
AZ: bp 7 is very important but i do not have a specific concern
Linda: we discussed indirect identifiers in mailing list which was almost resolved and should go here
phila: want to hear from dan,
erric, hadley on this
... you do not want to use a goenames uri as the subject in
your rdf?
ClemensPortele: yes, but not necessarily rdf -- i want my representation to be the target of resolultion
phila: ok, so you don't want
geonames to be the response -- so should we recomment
owl:sameas?
... can we use owl:sameAs?
... so maybe 3 people all point to anne frank's house
AndreaPerego: the point is also about provenance to know who is saying what, maybe this solves that
<Zakim> danbri, you wanted to discuss owl:sameAs being a very strong claim
ericP: don't want sameas as as it
is not the same thing just in the same place
... want to addreess use case of a location and you need to
make a decision -- you invent more predicates
danbri: what eric just said
... sameas is almost like swearing
... e.g. whiioch poland? and smeaton's tower is it hte same as
edystone lighthouse?
phila: but there is aconnection and we want that reoirded
<AndreaPerego> Wonder whether rdfs:seeAlso could to the job instead of owl:sameAs?
eparsons: so anne franks house in my database (BP 14 and 15) linking my datababse of houses in amsterdam with bart's database of fires in amsterdam
<danbri> seeAlso is pretty weak, owl:sameAs is super strong, there are things also like skos mappings that sit along the spectrum between those
eparsons: I need to say that I have a consistent uri within my database (reuse is elsewhere)
hadleybeeman: but "reuse identifiers" is in here!
ClemensPortele: we have a different understanding of reuse
<eparsons> kerry : duty to create predicate "sameplace"
<ericP> kerry: i believe it is our duty to construct a predicate that captures samePlaceAs
ClemensPortele: bp 14 is establishing the links,, and that is different from...
<frans> sameplace could be one of the spatial relationships we need to have defined
ClemensPortele: we shouln't just look at OWL e.g. geosjson, e.g. scheam.org sameAs
eparsons: call for wap of scribes
phila: please read DWBP best practice 10 as it contradicts us
hadleybeeman: yes!
<phila> scribe: phila
<scribe> scribeNick: phila
hadleybeeman: If I understand you correctly, people are asying that they don't want to use other people's identifiers because you want to make your own statements about things
BartvanLeeuwen: One of the issues
we have is, are we too RDF-centric
... If you put a spatial thing on a map, and people want to
click it, then people can find out more.
... I want to create a page that says Anne Frank's house is on
fire that it has interesting shutters etc.
hadleybeeman: But you're saying you want an ID for the fire at Anne Frank's House
jtandy: So Bart describes an incident that happens and Ed is describing the shutters..
hadleybeeman: Draws diagram of
the house, its fire and its shutters
... But they're both about the same place
<ByronCinNZ> Yes I am here
hadleybeeman: You need diff IDs for the incident and the shutters but they're both about the same thing and for that we say use the same URI
billrobe_: Agrees with
hadleybeeman and gives example. Also, we're not only in the RDF
world, so the majrity of use cases work well with using some
definitive ID for Anne Frank's House
... I can deliver my info about Amsterdam as HTML and
RDF...
<hadleybeeman> Or CSV
<Zakim> ericP, you wanted to say that reuse identifiers is always great. also complicated, also worth reminding people, but creating the abstract relationships ducks the controversy.
jtandy: And then maybe use schema:sameAs
ericP: Some perspective... every
BP in every environment says use URIs as IDs but the zeroth law
is don't lie
... A little bit of ontology that allows you to say 'same
location as' - people get to reuse IDs there. They're not
encouraged to reuse IDs where they shouldn't
... Also get to avoid complex conversations...
... Coming up with hard and fast rules about saying two
incidents are the same is very hard
... You don't want to get into worrying about why two things
are the same
ahaller2: Eric said what I wanted to say. Same location as is the only predicate we need.
ClemensPortele: I'm worried about
this strong 'same'. Many things in a map will have IDs, and
finding 'the canonical identifier' is nigh on impossible and no
one will do it.
... A more relaxed linkage is good
jtandy: I think we're concluding
that we need a more relaxed relationship for this. Maybe this
is a missing BP
... We're saying that if you want to relate two things as being
in the same place, we should show how to do it without
necessarily using the same ID.
eparsons: I think that's BP 14 or 15, not 7
<danbri> proposal: https://gist.github.com/danbri/12cbbdb26cfa25a5bc6ac2060788766f (too long for IRC :)
frans: Spatial same as - in spatial data, we talk about spatial things and geometries. You have a well established system for saying geometries are the same
<kerry> +1 to frans remark
frans: Maybe we need a set of relationships for spatial things
jtandy: So the predicate that Kerry suggested... some sort of geometric calculus?
kerry: No, some sort of (non-computable) spatial relations.
<Zakim> hadleybeeman, you wanted to ask if "best practice" (vs normative spec) allows for this kind of fuzziness already
kerry: You know we talked about backlinks? This is where I think it's relevant
hadleybeeman: I hear you discussing this BP and it sounds as if you agree but you're looking for edge cases where it doesn't work. Does this being a Note help to allow some fuzziness?
jtandy: In GeoSPARQL - OGC is creating an ontology for this
hadleybeeman: Butr you're writing BPs which doesn't need to be as precise as a Rec
kerry: I don't think they're edge cases, they're normal
BernadetteLoscio: When you're talking about datasets and the items within them, the item is Anne Frank's house? Not stuff within it?
jtandy: Anne Frank's house could have a point, 2 or 3 D polygon
[More discussion of IDs for Anne Frank's House]

-> http://sws.geonames.org/6618987/ Anne Frank's House
<danbri> "Search engines should receive a metadata response to a HTTP GET when dereferencing the link target URI." … what is a link target URI?
billrobe_: We spent a lot of time
talking about creating precise machine readable data about
things that, AFAIK, search engines are ignoring.
... schema.org might be a route to providing something useful
for search?
... Is there sometehing already in place that we can use in our
BPs?
jtandy: We've suggested that
schema.org provides a vocab that helps search engines index
things like schema:Place
... Does that help search engines answer questions like find
coffee shops near here?
danbri: Potentially
... schema.org works because it sits on top of what was in
place already.
... RDF tried to build a parallel Web that ignored the existing
billions of pages.
... If you express your data in schema.org, there's no
guarantee it'll be used.
... I don't understand what a link target URI is?
jtandy: For a URL, if you defref
a URL, you should get back an HTML page that might have
embedded data
... but the granularity might change. You want a URL for
everything in a WFS
ClemensPortele: That exists already
jtandy: But it's not crawlable
danbri: A lot of sites used to
hide things behind HTTP POST
... I think the same thing happened around SDIs - things are
hidden. You need to make a Web page, make sure robots.txt
doesn't exclude it etc.
... Don't treat it as a special universe.
billrobe_: Makes sense, but it's not often practiced.
danbri: Content negotiation is a tricky one. Se Web loves it
ericP: JSON likes it
... It's a problem if the data is too large
ClemensPortele: In the Geonovum
test, what we did was what we said here. We ctreated an HTML
paghe for every resource that we had and included schema.org in
that.
... the tricky part
... theoretically it's a BP, in the real world it's not
exploited.
... We could't really argue that it made a big impact
... If we look at reviews, it's definitely a BP. But not really
for everything.
ByronCinNZ: I feel like it's
tryiung to say too much
... There's a lot in there that I find contentious-ish. A BP on
fail metadata, well that's about keeping metadata up to
date.
... Maybe it could be more succicnt. What actually is the
point?
... Some BPs have really good examples
... could be more direct and more usable.
<danbri> for Google's use, see also https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/local-businesses (opening hours oriented), https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/events (events…)
frans: Should this BP not simply
say, make HTML models of the data you provide?
... It you at least make HTML pages you've made progress on
making your data search engine searchable.
... The other thing is linkage between the thing and the
metadata
... I imagine a SE requests a page, looks for links and then
follows those links
... What's required is a link from the data to the metadata and
then links within that. Maybe to subsets and other subsets
<Zakim> danbri, you wanted to discuss w3c instruments
<ericP> [media-types] Review request for application/geo+json-seq media type registration
Linda: Like a sitemap
ClemensPortele: But sitemaps are
limited to 25K links
... We had 8 million addresses
Linda: It can be paged
danbri: Is the word 'Best'
correct. W3C likes to attract people to try out new stuff. It
seems a lot of what we're talking about is new.
... I spend a lot of time trying to get people to make use of
schema.org data.
... If all we can write is BPs then we're limited. If we can
say emerging practice we perhaps can go further
eparsons: There's a heirarchy of BPs. There are simple things you can do, like exposing what's behind your WFS. Next step is to create HTML pages, next step is to add in structured data
<ericP> i believe hierarchies like this are expressed on coffee mugs
eparsons: i.e. take a stepwise approach. BPs can be incremental.
<Zakim> jtandy, you wanted to ask "is something _on the web_ if search engines can't see it?"
<danbri> I was just reviewing https://www.w3.org/TR/mwabp/ Mobile Web Application Best Practices (2010). A lot of it is both precise and has survived the test of time. It updates even earlier work, https://www.w3.org/blog/BPWG/2010/12/14/mobile_web_application_best_practices_is_2 from https://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/ (2008). Earliest I can find is https://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-mobile-bp-20051017/
jtandy: Is it on the web only if search engines can't see it? They only look at webpages
danbri: Nope, images, etc.
jtandy: Is the BP more along the lines of creating a human readable page and then maybe a structured version
eparsons: WxS isn't on the Web, it's on the dark Web
jtandy: If we want our data to be on the Web, people should be able to find it with a normal browser. Better still using some structured data as well (schema.org)
<Zakim> hadleybeeman, you wanted to talk about how this works for browser standards
jtandy: if we can encourage people to do that then the SEs might start to use it.
<eparsons> zakim close queue
jtandy: I think we've made progress with BP4, yes
phila: It's consistent with DWBP's advice on making (meta)data human and machine readable
-> http://w3c.github.io/sdw/bp/#describe-geometry BP8
jtandy: Proposes to take 60 mins
for lunch
... Then we can pick up BP8
... Rather than try and rush it in 8 mins
hadleybeeman: On Best/Emerging practices...
<eparsons> Lunch at 12:30 - will be back at 13:30
hadleybeeman: We've been
discussing this a lot in the TAG and whether W3C is where
standards are created or ratified
... What the HTML Web Browser world is that for any new idea,
they want it hammered out in a Community Group.
... They'll form a group within the Web Incubator Community
Group
... So that by the time it's in a WG it's already in the
wild
... Then WGs aren't working from scratch
[Discussion around future work, life of the WG etc.]
Discussion of difference between OGC and W3C in terms of end of work for WGs. OGC's carry on indefinitely, even in dormant, W3C has to start again
danbri: Can it transition to a CG
phila: Yes of course
<eparsons> Lunchtime everyone
[Adjourned for lunch]
<eparsons> Slowly returning from lunch...
<jtandy> so ... we're just restarting ...
<jtandy> in the room we've decided to try to complete the discussion on BP7 about "indirect identification" ... see summary of email thread at https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdw-wg/2016Sep/0096.html
<eparsons> Webex back I hope - can you hear us ByronCinNZ ?
<ByronCinNZ> Yes
<eparsons> Perfect thx
<ByronCinNZ> Will be jumping over to Orlando shortly for the DCAT metadata OGC. Will return after
<jtandy> for ref, see http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-webarch-20041215/#indirect-identification
<billroberts> scribe:billroberts
<scribe> scribenick:billroberts
<DanhLePhuoc> pressent+ DanhLePhuoc
jtandy: summarises the ideas of
'Indirect Identification' based on the link above
... do people recognise this practice as useful and something
that happens a lot?
<eparsons> billroberts Has not experienced any issues with indirect identification
<eparsons> billroberts metadata solves Last updated problem
danbri: schema.org has a vocabulary that is quite agnostic. You could use that rigorously in terms of differentiating identifiers and documents about them
<Zakim> danbri, you wanted to say two things: forcing thing vs page-about-it distinction everywhere comes with costs (for publishers and consumers); muddling up things with their
danbri: but you can also use it
'scruffily', using a web page about say Brad Pitt as a way of
referring to Brad Pitt
... it was found to be hard to get the idea of distinguising
web address and identifier to developers. It would be possible
if there was a distinct benefit, but that probably isn't hte
case. There isn't the incentive at the moment
... there is a cost to enforcing the distinction, and there is
a cost to mixing them up. So you have to weigh up the pros and
cons
<roba> hi - joined via webex but its behaving differently - not hearing anything and it offering a video session, no mic mute option.
jtandy: can we say that it's common practice to conflate the identifier and the document, and that's ok?
eparsons: we can say it's common practice for sure
kerry: but should we endorse it?
phila: it becomes a problem to
use an indirect reference, if you use it in the wrong way
... eg to say the mountain is 374kb, but if you are saying
something sensible in that context, then it causes no
problems
... this is a widely used approach and it generally doesnt'
cause problems
AndreaPerego: if your use case doesn't need the distinction, then don't do it
<danbri> All I was going to say: at this relatively early stage, when a given thing doesn't have a lot of machine readable Web descriptions, strict separation of thing-vs-description identifier is overkill. But once we have more adoption it may prove increasingly valuable.
<eparsons> billroberts depends upon context - relies on human - but thats ok
<phila> billroberts: We're agreeing that it depends on context and we're relying on the human operator to apply that context
<roba> q
<DanhLePhuoc> +q
frans: we can probably assume that people won't generally be confused about spatial things - i.e. they won't think it's a document
ClemensPortele: but we then may need to distinguish Spatial Thing and Feature?
kerry: how do we convey to a user of the data what we mean by a URI?
roba: one use case is citing an
object. In that case you want an identifier for the thing, not
a representation of it. If the data provider wants his
representation to be cited, then you might have to make the
distinction
... one possible way to do that is the URI redirection
approach.
jtandy: do you mean something like a 303 redirect to a WFS endpoint?
roba: doesn't matter too much
what you redirect to, you can just use the test on whether it
is redirected or not
... it's like referencing a geometry not a feature
jtandy: tries to summarise and play back Rob's point. If you do redirect, you've separated out the thing and the representation
roba: not quite as strong as
that.
... if it doesn't redirect, you could tell that the URL is not
safe to be an identifier
jtandy: how much context do we need? how to express it?
roba: one approach is to get the context by dereferencing it, but I don't think we can say that is a best practice
jtandy: so, as Dan says, we're all blundering around
DanhLePhuoc: a data snippet can
be valid and useful without having an http URI
... so could use non-http identifiers (URNs eg)
jtandy: I think we want to recommend HTTP identifiers, even if they don't resolve on the web
DanhLePhuoc: using identifiers that are not HTTP means that you don't have the cost of setting up a web server to allow dereferencing
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to talk about dumb strings
phila: URIs should be treated as dumb strings, you can't infer any meaning from them
<eparsons> billroberts redirects not practical for mass market users
kerry: also uncomfortable about using the redirect behaviour as a way of inferring context
roba: I think that's ok, but a best practice should be to use redirects. If you are using a representation URL you need to be clear it's not an identifier
jtandy: trying to summarise - you shouldn't be obliged to separate identifier and document, unless you see a good reason to do so
roba: a good reason to do so is to make it clear to users
jtandy: will park the discussion on Spatial Thing and Feature
BartvanLeeuwen: we're working for
emergency services in cross-border or cross-discipline
contexts
... there is more and more spatial data being shared between
these partners in ad hoc ways
... For example, water boards collaborating with fire
departments on flood evacuation plans
... The water board is opening up its SDI for the fire
department
... For example the fire department comes across information
about a critical section of a dike (i.e. high risk of a
flood)
... misinterpretation between the two organisations of what was
meant by 'critical'. Water board had a different idea to the
fire department
... [Bart shows a GIS WFS system with attributes of objects on
the map]
... so we suggest having a rdf:seeAlso attribute on all WFS
systems, to link to a place to store more information
... Fire department is happy with an extra column in their
system, but don't want to worry about supporting all kinds of
formats
... following the seeAlso link goes to a Linked Data page about
the thing, which in turn can link to definitions of concepts
and other terminology
... so this is a simple and generic way of linking a WFS to a
Linked Data representation of the objects
... We use standard linked data principles for dereferencing
the URIs to get data
... Example showing a map of an incident, with icons to
represent different situations, (eg a flaming icon to indicate
a fire)
... this approach allows icons to be connected to definitions
of what they mean
... and makes it possible to swap in different sets of icons
for the same meaning, to make it familiar to someone from a
different organisation
... From the opposite perspective, there is currently no
standard way to link from the Linked Data representation to the
feature on the map
ClemensPortele: there could be just a WFS request that returns the feature
BartvanLeeuwen: Jeremy and I have discussed this as a possible best practice
jtandy: so in essence, you are
supplementing an existing SDI by putting one column in the
database that links to a Linked Data representation, where all
the semantic integration can take place - but you can still
display it on a map
... beautiful in its simplicity
... (1) (maybe controversial) web mapping is explicitly out of
scope - is this web mapping?
consensus: no this isn't web mapping, it's about linkability
jtandy: (2) I'm minded of
discussions back in Amersfoort, where billroberts mentioned
some hybrid approaches using triple stores alongside other
things
... Bart's work seems a similar kind of thing
<roba> re embedding a link, of course the issue is whether the uri should be for a specific information resource or for an id which should dereference :-) There's your use case to consider
<Zakim> danbri, you wanted to say yay
jtandy: this seems to fit under the heading of data access - different ways of getting to the info
danbri: many examples that we were talking about earlier were very sparse, so not much benefit for the effort. This seems much more obviously beneficial as you can link together lots of things all at once
frans: can understand the perspective of the water boards on not wanting to do lots of work on detailed definition. But there is software that makes setting up a WFS pretty easy. If people act on our BPs then maybe publishing the supporting data will be easy in future too
Linda: thinking about how to fit
this into the document. Is this a new BP, or a possible
approach to implementing an existing BP?
... could maybe fit in BP11 about convenience APIs?
eparsons: this is more about the linkability best practice
roba: although I couldn't see the
demo, I think I got the idea: this is a general use case of
embedding a link to information about an object in another
context
... so what kind of link do you embed in your data? a link to
an identifier or another resource?
... probably need a standard practice here so that people know
what to expect. It should probably be the identifier
... in that case the identifier can then link to various
representations. Otherwise the implementer has to make a choice
of which kind of representation to link to
phila: points out that in Bart's example, there is both information about the thing and information about the document about the thing. So this example makes the distinction between thing and representation
ClemensPortele: this example is mainly about easy data access. In QGIS you just have a string about the attribute. In the LD version, you can link off to definitions of the terminology
<roba> do you want t force all WFS to use exactly the same set of choices as to how to link to different resources and additional information - or make that the URI dereferencing practice?
ClemensPortele: it doesn't
naturally fit in one of the existing best practices
... not sure if it's 'best' or 'common' or 'emerging'
<roba> best does not imply common, but if common works its probably "best". Where "common" is missing or doesnt meet identified needs best is closer to "good"
billroberts: I think it probably fits into our existing best practices on linkability and on making links
ClemensPortele: it's important to make it self-descriptive
Linda: maybe there is a DWBP we could link to
phila: point of process. Is there anything proprietary in Bart's work?
BartvanLeeuwen: no
<roba> its obviously about linkability - and if the practice link is to something via a URI that dereferences to a document that provides metadata, then it meets several BP cases
BartvanLeeuwen: would like documentation of which attribute to use for this, to try to make it more standardised
jtandy: different applications
might require different data models
... so not sure we should specify always rdf:seeAlso or
whatever
<BernadetteLoscio> I think is this one: https://www.w3.org/TR/dwbp/#ChooseRightFormalizationLevel
eparsons: this is good because you don't need to do anything difficult but has many benefits
<ClemensPortele> scribe: ClemensPortele
<scribe> scribenick: ClemensPortele
jtandy: next topics: General BP issues, Narrative, Plan for next draft
jtandy: not writing BPs for
managers, but for those doing the work
... are we meeting the needs?
frans: No. Related to BP on geometry, etc. Many options to choose from, but no real guidance how to do things
jtandy: agrees, we don't say how
to make the choice
... Unlikely there is a single choice that fits everywhere.
Example: GeoJSON.
... Struggles how to introduce the questions to ask yourself in
the BP text.
frans: Can we also identify the characteristics a good format has?
jtandy: Probably difficult, depends on the perspective and use case. Support for one or multiple CRS is an example.
eparsons: We may be meeting the
needs of the wrong partitioners, ie. the GIS community, less
the "Web community"
... distinguish implementation recommendations / options based
on the specific needs
... what meets the 99% of the cases, let's make that the
default
Linda: are Web developers still in the audience, not so clear from the current text
(yes they are)
ByronCinNZ: A couple of things
that may be missing:
... wider meaning of spatial beyond geospatial (but not really
addressed in the text)
... clarify gaps that are relevant for bridging between SDI and
Web developer community, e.g. spatial accuracy depending on the
CRS/projection
jtandy: I.e., provide more help on how to pick the right datum/projection?
ByronCinNZ: Yes
jtandy: Any similar topics?
eparsons: Publish a raster or vector data?
billroberts: responds to frans
"what is a good format" question: what will likely be used. So
probably providing multiple options, e.g. GeoJSON for Leaflet
and Shapefile for their GIS
... publish once, use many times
frans: happy to read in the
current BP to focus on the use of the data and keep the users
in mind
... points to limited choice of data types, which is currently
missing for geometry
... we should work towards a single way of expressing
geometry
... Also, current text is too much about geospatial data, less
useful for use cases like architecture / BIM etc.
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to pick up on non-geo spatial
phila: content depends on contributors. Asks Chris from the BIM domain ...
Chis(?): Welcomes guidance. CRS guidance relevant and different CRSs will be used (e.g. inside the building). There are open questions how to do this best.
phila: Probably GeoFencing group did not consider the case where the CRS changes between two different polygons.
BartvanLeeuwen: Have we outreached to the "Web developer" community and asked them, if it is useful what we are doing?
phila: Trying to reach as many people and communities as possible
eparsons: Yes, what we do depends on the people who turn up
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to talk about this evening http://www.meetup.com/GeeksIn-Lisbon/events/233972259/
dmckenzie: We need to identify and contact the communities where we want feedback. Can use OGC communications channels.
<phila> Dev Meetup this evening
phila: that might have been an opportunity to pitch our work and get feedback
dmckenzie: many of these will be very regional, so hard to cover this broadly
billroberts: the extra day at Amersfoort may be a good example to follow
dmckenzie: OGC University DWG may
be a channel for outreach
... or other DWGs that link to larger communities
<eparsons> coffee break until 14:50
<eparsons> coffee break until 15:50 sorry
jtandy: you can use Linked Data in many representations, not just using RDF
frans: since SDWBP is an extension of DWBP, how is DWBP?
<ByronCinNZ> audio please. Sounds like an interesting conversation
jtandy: not heavy, but many of the examples use RDF
kerry: use of link type registry is one example that can help as it is general
jtandy: yes, publish semantics in
the registry of IANA
... temporal relationships there is a proposal discussed with
Simon Cox
... spatial relationships - there has been no feedback on which
of the options to use
... on topology, direction, distance
<kerry> +1 in principle
(general agreement)
<AndreaPerego> IANA Link Relations: http://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/
Linda: but we need to agree on the list
AndreaPerego: have checked, if anything is there?
jtandy: Yes, nothing there
AndreaPerego: May introduce overhead on the publisher side. But has advantage that it can also be used directly in HTML
jtandy: Whatever we do, there will be some burden on the publisher, currently it simply is just no option that a publisher could use
AndreaPerego: maybe the profile link relation could be an option
kerry: it is important to capture the more informal spatial relationships that are used on the social level
<AndreaPerego> Definition of the "profile" link relation (from IANA registry): "Identifying that a resource representation conforms to a certain profile, without affecting the non-profile semantics of the resource representation."
kerry: ie the topological ones
are not the most important ones
... focus on those that are used in common language
frans: why do we want to "kick the RDF habit"?
<ByronCinNZ> audio please
jtandy: if we focus on RDF people would quickly conclude the document does not apply to them
Linda: we have a link to the Linked Data BP this document becomes very RDF centric
<roba> using RDF is a practice - perhaps best for some things but not the only option.
jtandy: two schools of people, a)
Linked Data must use RDF and b) takes a more relaxed position.
Like the BP document...
... Need to use examples that are based on other approaches,
GML, GeoJSON, maybe OData, etc
<Zakim> AndreaPerego, you wanted to comment on Fransis's point
AndreaPerego: Just to say that link relations are already used in HTML documents, e.g., to link to stylesheets. So, this makes it easier to use them to express also other relationships.
BartvanLeeuwen: Mention of RDF is a religious thing. People reject something just based on the reference to RDF
BernadetteLoscio: DWBP had similar discussion. Introduction has discussion of the relationship and avoid specific focus. But many examples are in ttl.
<Zakim> danbri, you wanted to discuss RDF
danbri: Have used RDF in other groups, but without making a big fuss about it
<jtandy> BP doc tries to present no bias to RDF here: http://w3c.github.io/sdw/bp/#linked-data
frans: having other examples is a good idea and the Linked Data text should state that it is not abut RDF
jtandy: Chapter 7 already does this, see link above
billroberts: you want web identifiers and you want linking, then you are nearly at RDF
<eparsons> ClemensPortele : RDF point was mine - current draft better
eparsons: Both the GIS and Web developer communities consider RDF a "nasty beast". So not highlighting RDF will help communicating the BP
jtandy: general consensus and
going in the right direction
... how can we address kerrys point about the spatial
relations. Can someone propose a list of spatial
relationships?
phila: can we just register the ones from GeoSPARQL?
jtandy: Which of the three
sets?
... and these are only the topological ones
eparsons: The directional and distance related ones are more of a challenge
kerry: Some of them are context dependent (near/far)
<Zakim> ericP, you wanted to ask about wikipedia infoboxes
ericP: could the wikipedia boxes provide any insight?
(possibly)
jtandy: is there a link to more information?
<kerry> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Geography_infobox_templates
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to talk about IANA Links don't need to be in a W3C standard, and to ask DanBri whether he can help
phila: topological ones could
easily be added by contacting IANA / Mark Nottingham to add
them
... for the others, is there something that we can point
to?
danbri: we could also add them to schema.org
phila: how widely implemented are the relationships?
eparsons: typically widely implemented by GIS, so we would need to analyse what has been implemented in tools
<Zakim> billroberts, you wanted to ask about progress on relating things to geometry
<ericP> +1 to dim[B(a)∩I(b)]=1&<arg(x∨x_) ˚͜˚
jtandy: and how do we identify the directional / distance-related ones? any sources to use as a basis?
billroberts: related to the work
on the spatial ontology
... can schema.org help?
danbri: there are existing properties that relate objects to geometries
PROPOSED: submit topological GeoSPARQL Simple Feature relations to the IANA link relation registry.
frans: there could a difference between the spatial relation of spatial things or their geometries
eparsons: the topological ones
depend on the existence of geometries
... ... the topological ones are always computable from the
geometries
ericP: and how about the more fuzzy relationships
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to talk about Young's Calculus
DanhLePhuoc: (sorry, I missed that)
phila: if we have the list of well-defined relationships for topo ones, should we do this for the temporal ones (Allan's calculus), too?
<DanhLePhuoc> there is some relationship can be calculate without geometric information, for instance, located in, part of, can be computed via transitive reasoning
jtandy: I can make topologial assertions without geometry.
<danbri> phila, see "We don't nitpic about whether they're alive, dead, real, or imaginary. " in http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_Person
eparsons: but you cannot prove them
kerry: the informal ones are more valuable to the formal ones
<eparsons> +1 tp both
<Zakim> danbri, you wanted to mention 'equals'
danbri: only one seems only useful in a mathematical sense (equal), the others also make sense in a colloquial sense
<Zakim> kerry, you wanted to mention https://jena.apache.org/documentation/query/spatial-query.html
jtandy: It would be a well-defined topic to make a proposal for the link relations. Any volunteers?
phila: where to put, in
schema.org, W3C space? Should it also go to the BP, too?
... IANA wants to reference something stable
<Zakim> ericP, you wanted to propose email
ericP: simplest could be an email to the mailing list
kerry: this might be a starting point: https://jena.apache.org/documentation/query/spatial-query.html
<Linda> And schema.org has https://schema.org/containedInPlace I saw
<RaulGarciaCastro> scribe:RaulGarciaCastro
jtandy: we want to include:
computable relationships and assertive relations (not
necessarily based on computations)
... … who can take the lead for doing that?
eparsons: what has to be done?
jtandy: name + description
<phila> An excellent example of a namespace document
eparsons: I take the lead
<ericP> An adequate example of a namespace document
jtandy: there is no best practice for these relationships; there is a gap there
<ericP> (though it does introduce some convention for properties of a class)
jtandy: … could this be part of the namespaces work?
(yes)
jtandy: how to use spatial relationships for uncertain boundaries? There is a common practice to do it
<eparsons> action eparsons to work with chairs to define spatial relations namespace document
<trackbot> Created ACTION-198 - Work with chairs to define spatial relations namespace document [on Ed Parsons - due 2016-09-26].
kerry: we can handle it talking
about fuzzy relationships
... … and I don’t even need to knwo the geometry
eparsons: sometimes there are things with no geometry associated
roba: relationships depend on the use case; we need a mechanism to specify what you need in your context
frans: if we relax the relationships to things without geometry, anyone can make a statement about anything
<Zakim> ericP, you wanted to ask if time management mechanisms can be used here
ericP: you should expect people acting in good faith (a trust issue)
jtandy: some expert should help
me with the examples of spatial relationships
... bill, what are your thoughts about producing statistical
data?
AndreaPerego: When are we talking about SpatialThing vs Feature?
eparsons: let’s plan now with everyone here
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to ask BernadetteLoscio and newton their thoughts on the usefulness of the running example
phila: Is narrative important?
BernadetteLoscio: The running example was useful, even if in some cases it was difficult to come up with it
jtandy: We were thinking on a
flooding example, but it is complex
... … I don’t expect the best practices to be used alone, but
with other documents
eparsons: Maybe we could reduce the scope in the narrative?
jtandy: Some answers that the narrative is supposed to answer are already answered in the document
frans: How about using the narrative in the examples to give coherence? Right now it is separated
eparsons: Maybe we can prioritize
the best practices
... … trying to include everything makes things complex
billroberts: have been trying to
find population statistics and examples, and this raised a
number of questions that can be performed (e.g., is the
population data in machine-readable form?)
... … this can give hints to data publishers
ClemensPortele: If you remove the narrative and put it into the examples it may not be so convincing
jtandy: how do we plan net steps? (will think on the narrative for tomorrow)
Linda: how far is the current document for the next working draft?
<Zakim> phila, you wanted to be annoying
<kerry> +1 it has moved a lot from previous version
<eparsons> +1
phila: The document is already
very good; please publish it as soon as possible
... … feel free to take things out
... … right now it is more than expected
eparsons: publishing it is the way of getting more people involved
phila: get what you got in a published document (even with open issues) in a week or two
jtandy: Pending things: update the glossary with missing definitions (anyone?), bibliography, open issues, changelog…
phila: I will help with the document (formatting, language, etc.)
<danbri> http://pending.webschemas.org/GeospatialGeometry (based on https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/blob/sdo-callisto/data/ext/pending/issue-1375.rdfa (based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DE-9IM )). Various 'deliberate mistakes' included to check if anyone reads it.
AndreaPerego: Do we need the notion of a spatial thing? Not in every case we need to differentiate between real thing, geometry, etc.
<roba> josh lieberman was working on an abstract spatial ontology - i think we need this to be a lightweight core
<roba> ...updating geosparql may end up with something too complex ?
<Zakim> danbri, you wanted to re-iterate SpatialThing was from a random chat
jtandy: In the document we already state that a spatial thing can be different things
danbri: the origin came due to trying to adopt CYC
AndreaPerego: And people have used it since then
danbri: We can still change it
jtandy: The concept of spatial
thing for representing things with extent is good for us
... the GeoSPARQL ontology is being refactored
... … anyway, review the document to see if the current use of
the term makes you happy
Linda: we have reviewed the document
jtandy: Ensure that the glossary
is consistent with the wiki (anyone?)
... … it is just a compilation thing, no need to write new
content
<BernadetteLoscio> https://www.w3.org/TR/dwbp/#requirements
<danbri> re basic geo ns, it came from a https://www.w3.org/wiki/ScheduledTopicChat meeting. https://www.w3.org/wiki/GeoInfo which has 404 cyc reference -> http://www.cyc.com/cycdoc/vocab/geography-vocab.html - earlier version, https://web.archive.org/web/20070203153714/http://cyc.com/cycdoc/vocab/geography-vocab.html
<phila> BP cross ref
<danbri> so yes, SpatialThing came via Cyc, e.g. #$SpatialThing-Localized
<danbri> http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjpUZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA
newton: I made a script to build the cross-reference table for our best practices document; I can help with this document
<eparsons> Action billrobe_ to check Glossary for completeness
<trackbot> Error finding 'billrobe_'. You can review and register nicknames at <http://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/users>.
<Zakim> danbri, you wanted to confirm SpatialThing was indeed Cyc-inspired, see http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjpUZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA (also to report
danbri: went through the wikipedia infoboxes for relationships properties and there are proposals in schema.org; but nothing has been assessed by experts
jtandy: Regarding bibliography, proper references in ReSpec must be found (in yellow)
phila: I can manage that
<phila> ACTION: phila to help improve the bibliography for the BP doc [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/09/19-sdw-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-199 - Help improve the bibliography for the bp doc [on Phil Archer - due 2016-09-26].
<Zakim> kerry, you wanted to talk about tomorrow agenda before we leave
phila: I can help in placing the icons for the benefits
jtandy: we will try to have a
stable release in two weeks from Wednesday (15th October) so it
