Fwd: Doodle Poll to restart ConnegP and Profiles sub-Groups

Dear all,

I think I mentioned this work in the Dataset Exchange WG before.

I believe that this notion of profile, and furthermore of profile-based 
content-negociation, can be useful for RDF 1.2, especially if we want to 
support different levels of conformance and/or new features in the future.

This notion of profile might be slightly different from the one that the 
DXWG is primarily targetting, but the generalization seems relevant.

Do not hesitate to fill-in the doodle if you are interested.

Dear DXWG participants

The time has come to restart working groups on the 
Content-Negotiation-by-Profile (ConnegP) and PROF vocabularies.

This has been overdue for a time and the specification editors have been 
busy, however some of that background work has borne fruit - the OGC 
will publish a formal profile of DCAT: GeoDCAT - and potentially a set 
of subsidiary profiles for specific spatio-temporal data set patterns. 
Formalisation using PROF may require some discussion regarding best 
practices and guidance, and the sub-working group can support any such 
communities.

The OGC has also started publication of a suite of OpenAPI standards, 
with functionality that can be mapped to the ConnegP "Query String 
Argument" abstract requirement. External interest in the ConnegP 
functionality has also grown, with queries from a number of 
organisations and working groups. Restarting the working group provides 
an opportunity to review these opportunities and determine the pathway 
forward.

In the meantime PROF has been used heavily in operationalising data 
transformation and validation pipelines for managing knowledge graphs 
and validating examples in specifications. At this stage no significant 
updates to PROF are planned, but the working group can allow for 
discussion of concrete issues, and maintenance of the associated "roles" 
vocabulary which was always intended to be extensible.

I have created a Doodle Poll to find a time that can support the editors 
and the interested parties from europe so far, however we can explore 
multiple or alternate time slots if required for active (implementing) 
participants in other time zones.
