Minutes

Jan-15

McCool: as already mentioned, I don't have much time this year...

… there is a new PR also
… (goes though the minutes)
… any objections for the minutes?

(none)

approved

Archive old agendas

McCool: will do later

HTML for ontology

PR 537

PR 537 - Expand rdfs:comments in Discovery ontology

McCool: added actual content for the HTML?

Jan: yes

McCool: let's review it
… (goes through the changes one by one)

changes

McCool: would like to merge this PR and try another iteration
… wondering about the style...

Jan: that's the result of the tool based on the TTL file

McCool: (looks into the TTL instead)

changes in the TTL file

McCool: think we need a couple of iterations
… and would be better to have a rendered version

HTML preview of the PR changes

Kaz: we can use HTML Preview for that purpose as above

McCool: good to know

Kaz: I'm OK with merging this PR itself as the first iteration

(merged)

<McCool> related Issue 533 - Update HTML for Discovery ontology

<McCool> tick off third box: comments filled in

PR 536

PR 536 - Render changelog in discovery ontology from RDF

McCool: some branch conflicts
… do you want to fix them, Jan?

Jan: will do

HTML preview for discovery-ontology.html

(Jan has updated it)

updated HTML preview

McCool: still no introduction

Jan: updates on metadata
… this is a mocked version now
… still checking the content locally

Kaz: we still need further discussion about version management policy within the WG, but maybe we could call the initial placeholder "0.0.0" instead of "1.0.0", couldn't we?

McCool: or we can use tentative versions for a while
… and then change it to official versions after clarifying the versioning policy

Jan: (describe rederOntology.js)

McCool: should we change the version to "0.0.0" as suggested?

Kaz: or if this is a Alpha/Beta kind of test version, we could add "a" or "b" to the version number instead

McCool: like "1.0.0-a2"
… meaning Alpha 2 version for "1.0.0"
… technically we've already published a "1.0.0" version for DID repository application
… don't want to change the version number which has been already published

Jan: in that case, should the main branch be "1.0.0"?

McCool: hmm
… let's see the ones which are already published again...

discovery/v1/ontology/discovery-otology.ttl

McCool: maybe we could create a "7-resources" under wot-discovery/publication to see how to handle the proposed changes

Jan: makes sense

<McCool> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/w3c/wot-discovery/main/publication/6-resources/ontology/discovery-ontology.ttl

Kaz: using the "publication" area under wot-discovery would be confusing because it's not related to spec publication itself
… so would be better to have a "draft" area under the wot-resources repository instead

McCool: yeah
… something like wot-resources/discovery/Alpha
… or draft
… anyway, still need to fix this PR itself

Jan: yeah

McCool: then discuss this next week

Jan: ok

Kaz: another comment on the PR
… regarding the tool generating the HTML from TTL, we should collaborate with the TD TF

McCool: right

DID registry

<McCool> DID PR 486 - Add WotThing and WotDirectory service types

McCool: will update the PR and then ping the DID guys
… btw, wondering about domain and range for ontology

new Issue 541 - Add domain and range to ontology

Use Cases and Requirements

<McCool> Issue 534 - Link Work Items to Requirements in UC&R document

Kaz: each smaller PR from Discovery TF has been merged
… but we still need to clarify the whole process for Use Cases
… then need to talk about how to deal with further feedback from TFs including Discovery

Mizushima: agree
… as Kaz mentioned, we need to clarify the whole process for Use Cases first
… then need to clarify how to deal with feedback from TFs

McCool: exactly
