  • Attendees confirmed vocally
2015 Run through actions All
  • TH: Fix [#463](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/463)
    • TH: PR 470 ready for review
    • NC: Thought he already fixed it
    • [fixed] Merged PR [#470](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/470)
  • TH: Complete work on GeoSPARQL 1.1 Function URIs do not resolve in vocprez · Issue [#264](https://github.com/opengeospatial/NamingAuthority/issues/264)
    • Unresolved issue with namespaces: Need one for parameters, Need one for outputs
    • PR [#469](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/469)
      • TH: Will add a namespace for parameters and add a namespace for outputs
      • PREFIX geofo:
    • NC: a bit too much RDF if everything is a vocabulary (required for vocprez rendering).
    • Good to define everything in the data but we don’t necessarily need to render everything.
    • Tell Gobe to only render functions vocab - don’t worry about sub elements.
  • NC: Respond to [#451](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/451): Closed
  • JA: Chat to NC about [#249](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/249)
    • NC: They should show us what JSON serialization they want so that we can evaluate it. They want a pure RDF serialization without a microformat for geometry
    • NC to respond to the issue.
  • Misc topics:
    • NC: Continuous Integration is building static vocabs and OGC NA is also rendering them - we should let OGC NA render them instead of us.
      • NC will create a diagram and OGC NA will render artifacts
      • OGC NA wants confirmation that they have rendered all the things
      • TH: would still be good to render development versions of vocabs.
    • NC: Could have published 1.1 spec document but all the other assets are preventing the release. Much longer checklist for release now.
    • NC: Issue [#430](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/430): Consider qualified geometries
      • Should GeoSPARQL introduce the properties for qualification?
      • TH: issue was that the proposal was too general
      • NC: thinks it’s not general enough

Run through PRs All
  • Run through PRs:
    • [#466](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/466) TH to fix small errors from review
    • [#469](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/469)
      • TH to add outputs namespace
      • Do we need to update SHACL?
      • Waiting for Paul to take a look
    • [#488](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/488), [#489](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/489), [#485](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/485), [#487](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/487): Example links wrong in ontology file (wrong annex), [#486](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/pull/486): Consistent capitalization

Run through issues All
  • [#494](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/494) Should use wording suggestion in issue
  • [#492](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/492) Some typos
  • [#490](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/490) Need to make suggested corrections
  • [#474](https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogc-geosparql/issues/474)NC: disagree that we should use turtle prefixes instead of SPARQL style.
