Dear all, The call to discuss work on DCAT and the closely related EU work on ADMS has just ended. Minutes are on the wiki at [1] as normal. I can only apologise for not being able to tell you even now which of Martin Kaltenböck or Martín Álvarez was on the phone as not everyone wished to speak. Also, I only booked 10 ports on Zakim which meant that some people were unable to dial in - we were over subscribed to the meeting and Zakim was already over booked :-( Key points of the meeting: Subject to approval by the GLD Chairs, John Erickson and I will create a first public working draft of the DCAT specification, either just before or shortly after Christmas (note - in order to be published before Christmas it would need to beat the publishing moratorium which begins Monday 16th so after Christmas may be more realistic but we'll give it a shot). We also plan to create a document from the use cases that are collected on the wiki. Substantial work has already gone into producing DCAT so, although there is certainly room for comment, we can realistically hope to make reasonably rapid progress through the W3C Process. In particular, it is noteworthy that the UK and ES governments, as well as OKFN and others, are using DCAT so that Candidate Recommendation should be easy (famous last words). Publication of the FPWD of DCAT would aid the process that is producing ADMS for the EU - a method of describing data catalogue assets that will use DCAT. By showing that DCAT is on the W3C Process, ADMS is better placed to seek member state endorsement of the re-use of its classes and properties to encode the conceptual model [2]. Hope this is helpful and is in line with the wishes of the group as a whole. No doubt you'll shout in my general direction otherwise. Phil.
