No RDF* call this week

Dear all,

unfortunately I am unavailable to chair our call this week, so I suggest 
we cancel it, and reconvene on the 5th of February.

Andy has suggested that we release a snapshot of the current spec draft 
(similar to a WG working draft), in order to trigger feedback from a 
larger community. I think it is a good idea and I wish to focus on that 
on the 5th of February.

So in the meantime, please have a look at

* Gregg's PR defining N-Triples* and N-Quads* 
(https://github.com/w3c/rdf-star/pull/87)

* The long-standing naming issue 
(https://github.com/w3c/rdf-star/issues/20) - Andy made a good point, 
IMO, proposing that RDF* be kept for Olaf's original proposal, and 
RDF-star be the more search-friendly name of our spec.

* The question I asked on the mailing list about the relation between 
SPARQL* and RDF* semantics 
(https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-star/2021Jan/0112.html). 
I guess some people got scared away by the word "semantics" in the 
subject (I don't blame you) but I think it is important to get many 
people's opinion on this -- even those who are less concerned about the 
technical details of the semantics. This would be helpful to get a 
better understanding of where we collectively want to go.

   best
