Intro to "CSV on the web"
danbri: work at Google on schema.org
... get data into the google knowledge graph
... do contact chairs/team by email
... core focus is tabular data
... and now found, interpreted
... "CSV" key for practically grounded work
... rel to RDF
... maybe as data model for metadata
... and maybe as target as data conversion
... use cases, running code drive WG
... unbounded tasks - need to here for a finite time.
... so address real work => use cases and scenarios as problems
to solve
introductions/group

<konstant> +1 Googledocs
danbri: scribe gets to pick tech
<dceolin> +1 Googledocs
danbri: volunteer for next week?

... confusing?
... googledocs means multi auths for multiple places (google,
W3C, github)
andys: linking of minutes to agendas etc
danbri: IRC remains
andys: experiences?
ivan: some
<EricStephan> +q
EricStephan: good for side discussions. No timeline in gdocs.
(and record of whose here in auto minutes?)
jenit: use gdocs and works well at ODI
<danbri> perhaps doc-centric collab works best for things like
google docs, piratepad; but generally minuting here?
jenit: IRC anyway ... so maybe tend to use IRC.
danbri: scribe next week?
<danbri> next week's scribe; eric stephan
danbri: thanks to ericstephen
... wiki - but don't chnage agenda without letting the chairs
know

... then use to drive the WG work
<JeniT> /me zakim, [IPcaller] is me
<adamretter> nope still cant hear Jeni
<adamretter> im looking forward to the impersonations!
jeniT: use case and requirements
... tools to be built - root in real things and real needs
<danbri> [audio clear now]
<adamretter> yes
jeniT: use cases for what people want to do with data on the
web
... e.g. produce in Excel, load into R, validate, ...
... make as specific as possible
... narrative use case // example datasets // existing tools //
existing proposals
... from good to bad "CSV"
... survey tools and limitations/assumptions they have
... so what breaks if we do XYZ
... collect info on existing work for adding info to CSVs -
some in charter already
<JeniT> [35]https://www.w3.org/2013/csvw/wiki/Main_Page
[35] https://www.w3.org/2013/csvw/wiki/Main_Page
jeniT: links to 4 areas

project-oriented pages
<adamretter> I dont think I have permission to edit Wiki pages,
should I be able to?
<adamretter> JeniT: yes i did
danbri: suggest ideal are real world situation, real data we
can sample, tooling pref open source, add pages to wiki as

[37] https://pinboard.in/u:danbri/t:csv
jenit: any tools used with CSV - can be user facing, can be
libraries or cmd line
jtandy: much use of CSV - now adding semantics sensor network -
lack of tooling
... can fill in some areas now
jenit: please add what you have - esp use cases and concrete
... reference to data is good
jtandy: have linked CVS proposal comments for requirements
jenit: pls everyone do 1+ use case
ivan: pls send email on new UC
<EricStephan> Ivan can you direct me to a scribe
tutorial/background?
<ivan> ack
<Zakim> AndyS, you wanted to ask about email list use
jenit: email for tech discussions - public archives - good for
timezone issues
jtandy: F2F1?
jenit: will talk to danbri and come up with suggestions
<EricStephan> Good to meet everyone
<danbri> thanks all!
