Re: QB4ST final issues

Thanks Bill and Francois

I agree with these final cleanups and happy for you to implement them.

FYI Am meeting today with Geoscience Australia and will discuss future
implementation plans and further trajectory through OGC and W3C processes.

Hi Francois and Rob

I have just merged an old PR that was still outstanding: https://github.co
m/w3c/sdw/pull/756

It looked fine to me, though possible that it may need a further update?

Also I looked at your re-formatting PR Francois https://github.com/w3
c/sdw/pull/932
That looks good to me and happy for you to merge it

However Francois in your mail https://lists.w3.org/
Archives/Public/public-sdw-wg/2017Jun/0080.html you raised a question about
where we put the definition of the QB4ST ontology, and made a suggestion of
how to solve it that Rob agreed with.

So that still needs to be implemented as far as I can tell.  I am happy to
make that change if you are both still ok with that?

And the doc still lists issue 129 as open.  In https://lists.w3.org/
Archives/Public/public-sdw-wg/2017Jun/0064.html I suggested we just get rid
of that issue as the work it might potentially refer to did not reach a
sufficiently advanced stage in the work of the group.  Do you both agree
with that?


Thanks - nearly there!  If we can tidy these things up then we should be
able to propose to the group that we release the final draft of this.

Cheers

Bill
