SW audience? 21:25:33 ... we should have an evaluation 21:25:49 ... we have evidence of implementations but not sure how much we have in terms of metrics 21:26:10 ... SW stack but we didn't design it in a rigourous actiomatized way 21:26:17 ... metadata descriptive library community 21:26:51 RiccardoAlbertoni: you're right, but data quality vocabulary is not highly axiomatized either 21:27:01 ... and got accepted in SWJ 21:27:19 ... many similaries can make it less interesting for the journal 21:27:21 +1 21:27:23 +q 21:27:29 ack alejandra 21:28:56 q+ 21:29:18 alejandra: I agree that we need to define the audience first and it seems to me that it should be broader than SW and indeed include the library community 21:29:21 ack AndreaPerego 21:29:35 SimonCox: DLIB but has not been publishing in the last 3 years 21:29:57 alejandra: highlight aspects on cataloguing and resource, including data services 21:30:20 AndreaPerego: agree on broader audience and emphasising on new features, also we should emphasise on interoperability 21:30:30 ... not sure if the library community as they have specific requirements 21:30:42 ... journal not limited on specific community in terms of data management 21:30:47 +q 21:30:52 ack alejandra 21:31:43 q+ 21:32:09 ack AndreaPerego 21:33:03 alejandra: perhaps CODATA journal and the Data Science Journal, as there have been special issues around FAIR data... we should continue writing if we agree on technical paper + audience broader than SW 21:33:32 AndreaPerego: we could consider Scientific Data, and we need to take into account that the most used standards are DataCite and schema.org 21:33:46 q+ 21:33:50 RiccardoAlbertoni: we need to clarify the contribution, and the writing of the paper could clarify these points 21:33:51 ack AndreaPerego 21:34:49 AndreaPerego: my personal view looking at how DCAT has been used is that DataCite was designed to support a standard way of data citation on research data, DCAT is not bound to a specific community, meaning that it can be used for scientific data and public sector information and has a broader application 21:34:59 AndreaPerego: we can emphasise on this broader application 21:35:19 RiccardoAlbertoni: one concern is schema.org as there are big players behind this metadata schema 21:35:25 q+ 21:35:53 ack AndreaPerego 21:36:28 AndreaPerego: on the schema.org topic, we can argue that it was designed to optmise and improve of index of dataset pages by search engines 21:36:42 ... DCAT as any other standard is not to replace, but has different applications 21:37:08 ... similar with other standards, DCAT is to make data interoperable 21:37:26 ... linking resources in an effective and actionable way is something that is missing 21:38:19 q+ to ask which is the open access fee for Scientific Data 21:38:28 RiccardoAlbertoni: we could follow what alejandra was suggesting, not to decide now and write up, impact is important for me 21:38:56 ... we can discuss this later 21:41:17 https://www.nature.com/sdata/about/oa 21:42:18 Topic: Open issues 21:42:22 Scope of DCAT - datasets, or digital descriptions https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1235 21:42:22 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 21:42:22 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/04/29-dxwgdcat-minutes.html AndreaPerego 21:42:37 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 21:42:37 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/04/29-dxwgdcat-minutes.html alejandra 21:43:14 RiccardoAlbertoni: discussion around DCAT not being just about data and providing patterns for cataloguing 21:43:25 +q 21:43:36 q+ 21:43:45 q- 21:43:45 ... not sure if we are ready to push for a general cataloguing vocabulary 21:43:55 ... provide examples, collect implementations 21:44:23 ... do it as a kind of proces in which we don't decide now to change the name, but suggest these inclusions on next PWD 21:44:31 ack alejandra 21:45:20 q? 21:45:24 ack SimonCox 21:46:08 alejandra: +1 to Riccardo but I think it was useful to start the discussion, we can think about the acronym later but it is important to consider the broader cataloguing patterns beyond data 21:46:25 AndreaPerego_ has joined #dxwgdcat 21:46:33 SimonCox: yes, the issue was to indicate to the community that we are considering this but I wasn't expecting to resolve this issue soon 21:47:02 +q 21:47:09 DO we need a resolution now? 21:47:39 alejandra: does this need to be resolved now? we can leave the issue open 21:47:59 RiccardoAlbertoni: I'd like to give the signal that we won't change the acronym now 21:48:44 Proposed: Consideration of the scope of DCAT - just data or also other kinds of resources - is important but cannot be resolved now. We should proceed to develop examples and use-cases, then we can later consider whether the vocabulary needs re-naming or not. 21:49:02 +1 21:49:03 +1 21:49:06 +1 21:49:07 +1 21:49:20 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 21:49:20 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/04/29-dxwgdcat-minutes.html alejandra 21:50:18 RiccardoAlbertoni: is there any volunteer to check where we should emphasise broader catalogues and provide a PR? 21:50:18 Resolved: Consideration of the scope of DCAT - just data or also other kinds of resources - is important but cannot be resolved now. We should proceed to develop examples and use-cases, then we can later consider whether the vocabulary needs re-naming or not. 21:50:27 q+ 21:50:32 ack SimonCox 21:50:32 ... otherwise we go to next point 21:50:51 SimonCox: I think that at this stage we just need to add a note in the issue referring to this resolution 21:50:52 ack alejandra 21:51:02 q? 21:51:28 is a software solution a dcat:Dataset ? https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1221 ; 21:51:33 q? 21:51:45 alejandra: +1, I don't think changes related to this are urgent, we should focus on new features or addressing other feedback 21:51:48 RRSAgent: draft minutes v2 21:51:48 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/04/29-dxwgdcat-minutes.html AndreaPerego 21:52:15 RiccardoAlbertoni: issue 1221 - discussion has reached a conclusion 21:52:30 ... PR emphasises that the dataset definition is broad 21:52:55 https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1195 21:52:56 This is the PR: https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/pull/1226 21:53:50 +1 for me to merge this PR 21:54:57 the PR was approved 21:55:06 https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1195 21:55:09 RRSAgent: draft minutes v2 21:55:09 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/04/29-dxwgdcat-minutes.html AndreaPerego 21:55:18 The notion of dataset in DCAT is broad and inclusive, with the intention of accommodating resource types arising from all communities. If someone consider something as a dataset it is a dataset for DCAT. We refrain from restricting the definition of DCAT dataset to specific communities. Our responsibility, on the contrary, to make the definition general enough to accommodate any definition of datasets that arise by quite distinct an[CUT] 21:55:42 * I haven't and was wondering the same thing 21:55:55 RiccardoAlbertoni: the issue emphasises on the different notions of dataset 21:56:54 q+ 21:57:14 ack AndreaPerego 21:57:41 AndreaPerego: we're trying to set up a common approach for data documentation 21:58:06 ... there was an initial period where we were trying to propose a definition and every time wasn' t fitting definitions of specific disciplines 21:58:16 ... so we went for the option on saying "you are the expert" 21:58:51 ... if you look at the list of things that Google dataset search documentation they give a list of things and then "anything else that looks as a dataset to you" 21:59:40 q? 21:59:45 +q 21:59:49 ack alejandra 22:00:44 the feedback points to https://github.com/heidivanparys/discussion_paper_dataset/releases/tag/v20200306 22:01:18 AndreaPerego: the notion of data is also tricky 22:01:34 ... structured data depends very much on your background 22:01:42 ... what is a unit? 22:03:03 In particular when we think of humanities! 22:05:07 action: alejandra to look at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1195 22:05:08 Created ACTION-421 - Look at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1195 [on Alejandra Gonzalez Beltran - due 2020-05-06]. 22:05:12 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 22:05:12 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/04/29-dxwgdcat-minutes.html AndreaPerego 22:05:34 RiccardoAlbertoni: are we meeting in two weeks again? 22:05:38 May 13th 22:05:40 Fine with me. 22:05:44 +1 22:06:14 RRSAgent, draft minutes v2 22:06:14 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2020/04/29-dxwgdcat-minutes.html alejandra 22:06:29 bye! 22:06:36 bye 22:28:18 riccardoAlbertoni has joined #dxwgdcat
