McCool: would like to see everybody is on the same page for the f2f prep

vF2F schedule

McCool: overlaps with the Discovery call

WebEx info

McCool: during the vF2F, the discovery discussion will be held 30mins earlier

vF2F agenda

McCool: LinkSmart directory service update by Farshid

Farshid: can talk about pagination as well

McCool: implication for directories
... distributed/recursive discovery services
... interesting issue if a query can return JSON in structures
... if we use partial TD template approach, anything is optional
... query possibly returns fragments of TDs
... there is discussion on dynamic TDs
... if the directory modifies the TDs, we need to think about security portions as well
... so ideally, the directory should not change the TDs

Farshid: instead of modifying the TD itself, adding something

McCool: the TD itself is stored, and some metadata can be used

Farshid: replied on the GH issue as well

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-discovery/issues/18

Farshid: will have some proposal on that

Andrea: could we include streaming information as well?
... mentioned RDF summarization the other day

McCool: Farshid is planning to add some description in his slides

Andrea: we could support queries inside JSON-LD

McCool: you could indicate various packages

Andrea: need to specify which type of query at the top

McCool: do you create some URL to be shared?
... need to have some design discussion as well
... we need to organize the discussion
... I'll go through the design policy document
... could we do your slides by Thursday, Farshid?

Farshid: will do

McCool: btw, there is a template for slides on the wot-marketing repo

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/tree/mmccool-pres-template/presentations

Kaz: btw, there was related discussion during the TD call on June 12 as well
... so I think it would be great to have joint discussion about "dynamic TD, discovery and security"

McCool: personally think it would be better for TDs to be static

Kaz: agree

McCool: (adds "Signing TDs" to the security slot on Monday)
... note that there will be joint discussion with the DID guys as well

Farshid: btw, why do we need dynamic TDs?
... probably we could use Scripting APIs for the dynamic purposes

Kaz: agree
... so I asked for concrete use cases :)

Farshid: regarding the data format, the user should be able to choose the expected format

McCool: yeah, on the other hand we need to avoid possible problems like infinite loop, etc.
... btw, how/where to put the slides?

Kaz: several ways including the GitHub repo

McCool: right
... the PRESENTATIONS area on the wot GH repo

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot/tree/master/PRESENTATIONS/2020-06-online-f2f

<McCool> use a file name like "2020-06-22-Discovery-Farshid.{ppt,pdf}"

McCool: would be better to follow some policy for the file name like above

Farshid: will send my draft to you by email first

McCool: ok
... would suggest the filename to be "yyyy-mm-dd-Session-Name.{ppt,pdf}"
... please make a pullrequest once it's fixed
... and I'll merge it
