Re: Time Ontology and SSN specifications published as W3C Proposed Recommendation

Hi Francois,

That’s great news and thank you very much for getting us this far! We are grateful that despite the concerns that have been rightfully raised on the side of the W3C we have been given the opportunity to continue our work. A special thanks here goes also to Phil, who will be dearly missed going forward in JWOC! 

And congratulations to Chris and especially Simon, who have pretty much single-handedly brought OWL Time to PR!

Thanks,
Armin

    Hello Spatial Data on the Web Working Group participants,
    
    As agreed, the Time Ontology in OWL specification and the Semantic Sensor Network Ontology specification have both been published today as W3C Proposed Recommendations:
    
    https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/PR-owl-time-20170907/

    https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/PR-vocab-ssn-20170907/

    
    ... also returned if you use the latest published version URLs:
    
    https://www.w3.org/TR/owl-time/

    https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-ssn/

    
    The specifications will remain as Proposed Recommendations until early October to gather possible final comments from the W3C Membership. If not already done, I encourage you to endorse the publication as final W3C Recommendations by having your AC rep respond to the appropriate questionnaires. Provided no issues get raised during that period, the Working Group is basically done with these specifications! They will simply be published as final W3C Recommendation shortly after the end of the review period.
    
    I would like to congratulate the Working Group for getting thus far already, and for respecting deadlines for preparing implementation reports in particular.
    
    Having expressed concerns about the possibility to publish the SSN spec as a W3C Recommendation in a timely fashion in the past, I would also like to explicitly acknowledge the hard work done by the SSN sub-group in the last few months, both on the specification and on the implementation report. Very impressive! I am extremely glad that you proved me wrong! 😉
    
    Thanks,
    Francois.
