Sapporo update
             Discussion on candidate best practices for BP document
             5-6 non-regular people, one new face offered testing
             and implementation
             Significant offer of resources
             (name not known)
             <jtandy> [17]http://w3c.github.io/sdw/bp/
             <ChrisLittle> * was it Tanagi-san?
             1. Linking data
             2. publishing with clear semantics
             3. anabling discovery
             4. assignment of identifiers
             5. large datasets
             not addressed: exposing through APIs
             not discussed - spatial, observations
             (also help from data on the web best practice group)
             OPPORTUNITY! control our scope
             drop topics that are general as they are already under
             control in dwwg
             incl. discovery, assignment of identifiers
             Cite solutions from DWBP where they have a scope that
             matches SDWWG requirements and expectations
             e.g.
             1. publishing data with clear semantics - focus on
             semantics of spatial relationships
             2. enabling discovery, 3. linking data - Ed not
             enamoured of current SDIs - catalog ... service
             endpoint ... query endpoint - this is NOT 'data on the
             web'
             <billroberts> +1 to Ed's reported opinion. I generally
             lose the will to live before finding anything useful
             from INSPIRE
             can't trawl endpiints, leverage links - have to
            http://w3c.github.io/sdw/bp/

             *query*
             Browsing not supported.
             <BartvanLeeuwen> +1
             (this was consensus in meeting)
             <kerry> +1
             <Linda> +1
             what is this catalogue thing?
             <kerry> +q?
             <kerry> -q?
             frans: reduce scope will have big impact on BP
             document
             SImonCOx: clarify distinction being made between
             catalogues and search-engines
             Kerry: it was findability
             <ChrisLittle> +1 to Simon's comment
             things being harvested into catalogue/index need to be
             more link rich and support finding atomic items, not
             just datasets
             <AndreaPerego>
             [18]http://geodcat-ap.semic.eu:8890/api/
             andrea: geodcat-ap - has API for CSW
             convert from ISO 19115/19139 -> RDF/RDFa
             optimise what is exposed through catalogues
             can embed metadata in HTML pages, more findable
             but not enough links!
             findable but still not _linked_
             <frans> Yes, promoting assigning URIs to things will
             be a big step forward
             simon: Capabilities response needs to include links,
             not lists!
             <jtandy> +1 to AndreaPerego 's comment
             billroberts: difficult to link to a specific item
             ... want boundary of Edinburgh, not shapefile of all
             LGA boundaries
             <ChrisLittle> +1 to granularity
             <frans> In favour of INSPIRE: it has semantics that
             are harmonized in Europe. Quite an achievement!
             <Zakim> BartvanLeeuwen, you wanted to explain about
             the bug in your ear at TPAC
             (THat looks like a strong requirement)
             <jtandy> also +1 to getting the granularity of linking
             right
             Bartvanleeuwen: ? spatial properties should be links ?
             Bart: need adapter to expose existing services (WFS)
             as linked data
             ... started work in context of Dutch fire services
             ... demo later this month?
             Jeremy: timbl keen that we cover OpenStreetMap
             <frans> Do we have a liaison with OSM?
             <ChrisLittle> +1 to OSM UC
             OSM - great adoption, must be doing something right
             <kerry>
             [19]https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/BP_Theme_-_BP
             s_to_hand_over_to_other_WGs_in_W3C_or_OGC
             SImon: tools?
             <frans> Or a contact with linkedgeodata.org (which is
             based on OSM)?
             <jtandy> @frans ... no liaison yet - but I think we
             can chase up some links to those orgs
             Kerry: proposed new item, joint not w DWWP group
             Hadley Beeman, Dan Brickley
             <frans> They will be glad to hear TimBL supports their
             efforts

future work plan
             Kerry: main Wiki page updated w updated workplan

             iverables
             <frans> I am not screaming
             BP to be published December
             <ChrisLittle> OGC WGs can issue drafts easily
             <jtandy> SimonCox: OGC working drafts are just posted
             to pending documents - no review period
             QUestion around how OGC can publish 'public working
             drafts'
             and how fast
             <Zakim> jtandy, you wanted to note about proximity
             between BP FPWD and OGC TC
             <ChrisLittle> +1 to simon corrcting Jermey
             OGC TC in Sydney week commencing 30 November
             <jtandy> SimonCox: can you reverse the order of
             starting Time and SSN work?
             Future meetings will consider SSN, Time for half of
             meeting
             alternating weeks, approx.
             Coverage deliverable - work to start in March

UCR document
             <billroberts> can we add a hopefully very brief item
             to today's agenda: confirmation of date/location of
             next F2F?
             6-8 February meeting at Geonovum, on Best Practices
             <billroberts> 6/7 Feb is Sat/Sun - that's ok for me,
             but just to check no mistake?
             <Linda> It's 8 - 10, right?
             3-day meeting (lined up with local linked-data
             meeting)
             8-10 February meeting at Geonovum, on Best Practices
             scribe: and other topics for SDWWG
             OGC TC in SYdney - report to GeoSemantics domain
             working group
             <jtandy> (the final day of the next F2F, 10th Feb,
             should include interactions with the Linked Data
             community to validate our work so far)
             1/2 hour
             will proceed with regular teleconference anyway (7am
             Sydney time)
             <frans>
             [21]https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/17)
             Motion: issue 17 - medium resolution global grid?
             <frans> PROPOSAL: The candidate requirement "It should
             be possible to represent a medium resolution global
             grid, e.g. 90m raster data across the globe." will not
             be included in the UCR document.
             -1
             sorry - +1
             <ChrisLittle> +1 not include
             <jtandy> +1 ... not include this requirement

             [22]https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/27
             RESOLUTION: No 90m global grid
             <frans> PROPOSAL: Add a note to the description of the
             "Coverage in Linked Data" deliverable in the UCR
             document: "The OGC is currently working on refinements
             of ISO 19123 (in particular, the OGC Coverage
             Implementation Schema 1.1), which could result in
             specifications that allow a higher level of
             interoperability of implementations. The Working Group
             will also consider these forthcoming standards."
             Motion: issue 27 - add note that new OGC work is in
             scope
             <ChrisLittle> +1
             (can't change charter, but can point it out in UCR
             document)
            https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/17)

             <jtandy> +0
             <Zakim> jtandy, you wanted to talk about F2F
             Jeremy: OGC CIS is too closely coupled to GML
             approach?
             <ChrisLittle> +1 to looser rather than tighter
             coupling
             Jeremy: must avoid close coupling with implementation
             choice.
             <jtandy> +1 to considering them
             RESOLUTION: can consider new OGC work
             on coverage implementations
             Next meeting: 2015-11-11
             <BartvanLeeuwen> thx bye
