Re: Updated Invitation: Linked Life Data @ Mon 2013-05-13 11:00 - 12:00 (HCLS)

Hi All,

Please find attached the minutes from today's call.

Two important points for the next meeting:
start getting agreement for the language constructs used for each property
Could everyone put their preference in as comments to the spreadsheet
Next two calls will be on Tuesdays instead of the Monday slot

Flexibility of the URIs for each level means you have several entry points. Could have contradictions in the metadata at the different levels. Idea would be to limit the metadata in the unversioned part to minimal data that would not change over time.

For a relational database accessible through D2R the description would be a SQL versioned dataset with an accessibility protocol of SPARQL. Service points to the versioned/formatted dataset that they expose.
