Introductions

<Luc_> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-prov-wg/2011Apr/0001.html

luc: asking people to introduce themselves on the mailing list
... you can also edit your wiki page at the W3C

carl: carl reed, chief technology officer of the open geospatial consortium

carlOGC: provenance is a huge issue in geospatial info

thanks carl

carlOGC: a number of different working groups of the consortium

danielgarijo: phd student, involved in the provenance incubator group and the dublin core group
... interested in provenance for news and how this group integrates with dublin core

Ed-UOA: research fellow at University of Aberdeen

<iker> sorry, but i'm having problems with the sound, ask me and I will introduce through IRC

Ed-UOA: interested of provenance related to digital social research and linked open data

David Corser: also from aberdeen,

frew: James Frew professor from UCSB, transparent acquisition of provenance and use in earth sciences

<iker> linkatu.net

iker: working on semantic web technologies, applying these technologies to health care and life sciences

jcheney: james cheney at University of Edinburgh, provenance and databases and integrating this research into larger applications. most likely to be involved in formal semantics

deliverable time table

<jorn> http://www.w3.org/2011/01/prov-wg-charter.html

luc: not going to go through the whole charter
... the first working draft after 6 months
... after 9 months mechanisms to access/query provenance
... very close succession of deliverables
... reason is because of the W3C approval process
... aware that there is a lot of work towards the beginning of the working group activity
... questions about the timetable?

<Luc_> Scribe: Luc_

Paul: organize work in 4 task forces
... introduction, and then see who is interested in what
... 1. model task force
... 2. provenance access and query task force
... 3. Connection task force
... how to reach to other communities
... 4. Implementation and test cases task force
... need two implementations, how do we know we've got it right? (test cases)
... People can be part of many task forces

questions?

<DanielGarijo> +q

Daniel: how are task forces going to communicate?

Paul: all communications on same mailing list, same wiki, same weekly teleconference

<DanielGarijo> -q

Jun: are task forces going to run in parallel?

Paul: yes
... they will work on different things

<jcheney> +q

James: there is a lot of work that was compiled in the incubator, we should put a link to that
... we need more concrete things to do
... making sure that everybody is on the same page

<jorn> http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/XGR-prov-20101214/ ?

<scribe> ACTION: pgroth to make link to incubator group work [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/04/28-prov-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1 - Make link to incubator group work [on Paul Groth - due 2011-05-05].

<jcheney> http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/

Paulo: how can we work in parallel without having a model yet?
... do we have full agreement on terms?

Paul: that's the work of the model task force

<DanielGarijo> didn't we compile a set of terms to "start with" for the model force?

Paul: we want to get this discussion going asap

Paulo: start model TF first, others after

<DanielGarijo> +1

Paul: reaching out to other communities can also start immediately

Paulo: great if we can enumerate things that can go in parallel

Satya: breakdown in tasks would also be desirable

Jim McCusker: start with a base vocabulary, which is not model, but can help express queries

Simon: have you mapped deliverables to TF?

Paul: fairly direct mapping, but not final yet
... can you indicate (non binding) what you are interest in?
