Hello all,
One thing I might suggest is having an etherpad for group meetings,
with the intention of cleaning up the syntax and then cross-posting to a
github repo wiki page
[which says Markdown [or ReStructuredText], with Markdown working in issues
and issue comments]
* https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/Sites-that-run-Etherpad-Lite
*
https://wrdrd.com/docs/consulting/team-building#six-patterns-of-collaboration
* https://github.com/rdfjs/rdfjs.org
* W3C RDFJS Community Group
* README
* https://github.com/rdfjs/rdfjs.org/wiki/Meetings
* https://text.allmende.io/p/rdfjs # etherpad-lite simple replay
* Text Template for meetings and e.g. collaborative minutes
*
https://wrdrd.com/docs/consulting/software-development#digital-stand-up-meeting
The low UI overhead and plaintext of etherpad-lite are great with Turtle
.ttl / TriG .trig RDF syntaxes.
RDFa is the schema.org source language:
* https://schema.org/version/latest/
* https://schema.org/docs/schema_org_rdfa.html
*
https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/blob/sdo-phobos/data/releases/2.2/schema.rdfa
*
https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/blob/master/data/sdo-creativework-examples.txt
* sdo-course-examples.txt
Mostly a layperson. Way back in 2007, I wrote a BeautifulSoup parser for
the local course catalog and later implemented hCalendar and iCal, and it
just sat; now, the templates are probably different, so the parser probably
doesn't match; and RDFa/JSON-LD would be less brittle (more
maintainably-useful from a data-consumer perspective). My goal had been to
determine a path through prerequisites (and cross-listed graduate courses).
In order to [re-]-define and load tasks into (yet another] GTD tool from
each of my course syllabi, in 2008, I created a syllabus parser syntax for
defining e.g. readings, assignments, exams with pyparsing, but was not yet
aware of / enthused about TTL, RDFa.
My experience with real-world RDFS and OWL is a bit limited; mostly
practical. I believe we are lacking in locally-taught semantic web
curricula here in the midwestern USA, in general; which is fine, because
where better to learn about the web than the web.

* model schema.org/RDFS/OWL extension/vocabulary/ontology
* generate classes and properties
* reduce (pair, deduplicate, cluster, find categorical
intersections)
* clarify (need, use cases, justification, norms)
* organize (-> ordered RDFa )

* build consensus
* schemaorg/schemaorg#195 lists a number of potential
implementors
* Techniques:
* Could we just edit schema-course-extension.rdfa.html5.html,
or are our modeling tools (e.g. Protege) not doing the work for us?
* Tools:
* email
* browser
* local text editor w/ git and syntax highlighting
* live doc editor
* RDFa validation, RDFS validation
* [ ] BLD: where are the 'make test' and 'make build' for schema
extensions?
