20:29:08 [riccardoAlbertoni]
annette_g: I wonder how difficult is for people to read the two types
20:29:36 [riccardoAlbertoni]
pchampin: I think this should not impact much, I need to doublecheck
20:30:24 [riccardoAlbertoni]
pchampin: when you put a number in JSONLD is canonilize in the e notation, and that is part of the problem
20:31:40 [riccardoAlbertoni]

20:36:10 [annette_g]
annette_g: we need to provide some guidance for how to let users know how a checksum was calculated. Could we add a property that is the URL of a description of how it was calculated?
20:36:59 [Caroline_]
riccardoAlbertoni: I think we should point to possible solutions, but the DCAT it is not a Best Practice document. It could be risky to provide it. I am not sure we are in the position to have a deep discussion about it and

annette_g: a checksum is absolutely no use if it is not calculated in the same way each time. I don't believe we can offer a property that is a checksum without dealing with this issue.
20:41:42 [Caroline_]
riccardoAlbertoni: I think we need a document about the security and integrity to provide guidance
20:41:42 [pchampin]
q+
20:41:53 [Caroline_]
... I don't think it is only a DCAT problem
20:42:09 [Caroline_]
... I agree we must acknowledge that the integrity of metadata is included
20:42:35 [Caroline_]
... at the same time, the solution that is been required is at the same level of DWBP, which is more transversal
20:42:57 [annette_g]
q+
20:43:17 [Caroline_]
... I don't think we are in the position to do it, since the recommendation is to make a DCAT standard, not best practices

pchampin: the standards are going to be complementary

annette_g: I think it is hard to get people to adopt the verifiable credentials
20:45:27 [riccardoAlbertoni]
annette_g: one concern is that adopting verifiable credential can be a barrier to the adoption of checksum
20:45:36 [Caroline_]
scribe: riccardoAlbertoni
20:47:22 [riccardoAlbertoni]
pchampin: the way they define thing is very general, verifiable credential require jsonld, i can simpatize with your worrying, but at least it is something we can point at
20:48:10 [riccardoAlbertoni]
pchampin: I am wary to trying to come up with owr own naive solution
20:48:22 [riccardoAlbertoni]
annette_g: no one wants that
20:49:50 [annette_g]
annette_g: I wouldn't want us to limit the utility of the checksum property to those who are using json-ld or verifiable credentials.
20:50:25 [annette_g]
... If we use a URL, that can be used to link to any method of generating the checksum. What's important is that we enable people to indicate this aspect of the checksum.
20:50:47 [annette_g]
...I don't think the checksum proposal is complete enough for real world use without this.

riccardoAlbertoni: I wonder if we need to put this as a requirement for other groups
20:52:24 [Caroline_]
... if I understand annette_g concerns, what we are doing is not covering all that DCAT need to address
20:53:07 [Caroline_]
... perhaps instead of doing a wide solution we could see the missing parts
20:53:27 [Caroline_]
... which requirements of other groups could contribute
20:53:58 [Caroline_]
... for instance, in the case of RDF, there is another group working on it. So we could put our requirements

annette_g: you are not comparing the same things
20:55:18 [Caroline_]
... we trying to ensure that what we are downloading is accurate
20:55:36 [Caroline_]
