Proposed: ok to remove labels that were only inherited from UCs

TOPIC: 4.1 Methodology for DCAT revision: principles
21:41:56 [alejandra]
I created the labels for all the classes referenced in the DCAT vocabulary (https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/): https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/labels
21:42:52 [alejandra]
foaf:Person and foaf:Organization
21:43:46 [Stijn_Goedertier_AIV]
SimonCox: The original design principles about how to construct the DCAT vocabulary, included strong dependencies with DC-TERMS and less strong on SKOS, and weaker on FOAF. No other vocubularies.
21:44:46 [alejandra]
just adding to the minutes what I said before: last week I shared my screen and we went through Github looking at the issues, labels, Pull Request and review process
21:45:01 [alejandra]
we agreed that the Pull Request needs further discussion

21:45:18 [Stijn_Goedertier_AIV]
SimonCox: There is no relationship with PROV in the current DCAT, now there is an opportunity (or risk) to satisfy some of the requirements with a more formal alignment with PROV.

+1 that we need the explicit distinction of entities and activities in dcat
21:47:34 [Stijn_Goedertier_AIV]
NicholasCar: From his experience this would not cause problems. It may be needed to state explicitly that a dcat:Dataset is not a temporal thing.
21:47:35 [alejandra]
+1 to the comment and there are requirements related to the temporal aspects

q?
21:49:35 [Stijn_Goedertier_AIV]
AndreaPerego: He is unsure to explicitly include subclassing in DCAT. We could followg the approach taken in RDF-DataCube, where no sub-classing of prov:Entity is needed.
21:50:41 [SimonCox]
ack NicholasCar
21:50:41 [Stijn_Goedertier_AIV]
AndreaPerego: One of the successes of DCAT is that its semantics were loose. Not binding dcat with strong axioms makes it more broadly usable.

21:54:23 [Stijn_Goedertier_AIV]

q?
21:57:34 [Stijn_Goedertier_AIV]
AndreaPerego: I agree there already are domain/range restrictions. And we already have problems with it. For example, dcat:contactPoint is linked to vCard:Kind, which cannot be linked directly to an organisation.
21:57:59 [Stijn_Goedertier_AIV]
AndreaPerego: rather than using OWL, we could use other means such as SHACL
21:58:46 [AndreaPerego]
q+ to ask if we can briefly discuss this comment of mine: https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/76#issuecomment-359124922
21:58:46 [Stijn_Goedertier_AIV]
SimonCox: happy to have had some time to open this discussion
21:59:06 [NicholasCar]
Use of SHACL would introduce further commitment, not just to an ontology but to an ontology+system
22:00:02 [AndreaPerego]
Agreed. But this might be required to ensure a consistent use of PROV and facilitate interoperability.
