Discussion Items

Time Item Who Notes
2030 Intro JA Call for Patents
- None known
Roll Call
- Attendees recorded in minutes
2037 Attribution in Ontologies KJ - Seems like every predicate is attributed, which seems like overkill and potentially causes issues with people racing to commit
- Discussion in group: let’s use a rolled up whole of standard attribution and leave it at that. This mimics the paper based standards, and other standard standards practice. (Actions 1 and 2)
2048 Pull Requests All - https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/78 adds a continuous integration process that validates our TTL files, and provides a landing page for them using pyLODE. We would preferably use asciidoctor to create the ontology. (Action 3)
- https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/72 (Action 4)
- https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/57 (Action 5)
- https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/52 (Action 6)
2122 Issues All - https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/12: TH has put together https://github.com/situx/proj4rdf for a related project, and recommended it in the issue.
- Question about geof:buffer (and other functions with ogc:geomLiteral, … -> ogc:geomLiteral). Expectation from users in that output subclass will match input subclass for geomLiteral. Not expected to test other subclasses, but the standard doesn’t currently make a change in geomLiteral subclass non-compliant.
- Can we get a list of reviews to TH for the GeoSPARQL Benchmark. (Action 7)
