| 2047 | Current Work | JA | Worked through a review of Github Project Iteration 1 using screen sharing |
| 2050 | Open Issues | All | - Issue #40 was Closed because we have added the TTL version to the repo and are using that to edit the standard - PR https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/1 has achieved 2 approvals, and as agreed by the SWG has been accepted into the version 1.1 draft. - Issue https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/56 is likely to be closed soon since it’s substantially answered. A new Issue has been been raised (https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/67) to source the RIF rules for Profile 1.0. - Issue #7 is awaiting approval of https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/58, and then this is ready for review.
