Minutes

1. Recent activity

   • issue#686 - The versions have been updated to latest and seem to work. Please continue to monitor and re-open the issue if it reappears.
   • issue#661 - Adds correct @type strings to the JSON-LD serialization.

2. Open PRs

   • PR#44 - Breaks down fedora tests and makes them parallel.
   • PR#13 - Adds two new Ansible modules for interacting with Karaf.

3. In addition to this PR#13, there exists one additional issue for claw-playbook. After that, claw-vagrant will be deprecated.

   Danny - We might have a sprint to continue to develop the claw-playbook to support other OS or configurations.

4. Towards first release!

   Adam - What would be included in the first release?

   Danny - Once we have the derivative generation completed we can consider doing a release (1.0). RDF Mapping UI is not 100% necessary, but would be good to have.

   Adam - One compromise might be to get a library of RDF mapping. Because UI can take a lot of LOE.

   Danny - In addition to RDF mapping, we would need fields/content types.

5. Content Types

   Danny - There are simple content types that we can create relatively fast. There are other content types such as compound objects.

   Rosie - Are you still planning to make use of PCDM’s ordering proxies for those complex ordered objects you mentioned?

   Danny - Possibly yes. Re-ordering can be a performance hit, but that operation does not get used that often. However, that is the motivation behind PCDM’s ordering proxies.

6. PCDM

   Adam - Is there any way to verify if something is PCDM?

   Danny - You can selectively use PCDM. There is no kit to verify PCDM compliance. We would like READ/WRITE compatibility.

   Adam - PCDM is not an abstraction from implementation, rather an abstraction demanding an implementation.

   Danny - We may have to iterate to get to a working implementation.

7. Wikidata

   Rosie - Wikidata is a linked data of Wikipedia content. Wikidata has reference to verify each property. Also, properties can be attached to properties! Example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q467027

   Adam - Wikidata technology comes from DBPedia. Also, infobox templates are structured data. Are you pointing to this to develop similar features in CLAW?

   Rosie - Yes. Metadata Interest Group is interested in qualified statements.

   Adam - They may be using named graph. Named graphs is like having quads instead of triples. Additional info: https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-rdf11-concepts-20140225/#section-dataset.

   Adam - If Wikidata uses RdfReification then that would be difficult to implement.

   Danny - CLAW does not use named graph right now.

8. Snapshot builds

   Jon Green - We talked about doing snapshot releases to handle claw-playbook issues.

   Danny - Yes, we should do that.
