   TomB: Ralph: what's the status of our CR request?

   Ralph: send, probably reply by this week

   TomB: when our CR is published, we can make a call for impl

   Ralph: it's part of the CR announcement

   TomB: call for impl should include updated pointer to Primer

   Ralph: I'll make sure they cross-reference each one
   ... do we have a draft of the impl report in any form?

   TomB: none I'm aware of

   Ralph: I would like to have content for the URI I put in the draft
   Status
   ... but if we don't have one, that's ok

   TomB: re Impl Report, I would like to talk about LCSH

   <Ralph> I wrote "An implementation report will be available at
   [30]http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/implementation-report " and
   that URI is currently 404

     [30] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/implementation-report

   <Ralph> (which is OK, until we actually publish :)

   TomB: what the situation is about LCSH in SKOS?

   edsu: they want to have it running for an upcoming conference

   <aliman> I've read all the comments at [31]http://lcsh.info -- all
   very constructive I thought

     [31] http://lcsh.info/

   aliman: we have more than enough vocabs

   Ralph: we have six weeks to deliver the impl report, lcsh.info may
   be included as an experiment if it's online at the time

   <Ralph> Ralph: [32]http://lcsh.info/comments1.html is now an
   important piece of our history :) so if and when the experimental
   data reappears at lcsh.info, I hope
   [33]http://lcsh.info/comments1.html will also remain 'cool' :)

     [32] http://lcsh.info/comments1.html
     [33] http://lcsh.info/comments1.html

   <edsu> Ralph++

   Antoine: we can mention LCSH in the Impl Report even if not online
   at that time

   <Ralph> [I wish I hadn't been off the 'net during that period to add
   my comments.]

   TomB: i would be nice to know who to contact in LCSH regarding
   statements about skos usage

   <edsu> Barbara Tillett is your best bet

mapping properties

   TomB: re: discussion about RDF struct values, I don't see this as a
   blocker

   <TomB>
   [34]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2009Jan/0039.h
   tml

     [34] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2009Jan/0039.html

   TomB: section on the primer about mapping/standard/ properties,
   three paragraphs, need more discussion

   Antoine: I could buy your story

   JonP: the mappings aren't owned by either schema, but by the creator
   of the mapping

   TomB: Alistair suggested to drop the paragraph, I rather think to
   replace it
   ... the challenge is to articulate what the distinction is. Not sure
   if the current text does that

   Tom: I think we can better articulate the difference between mapping
   properties and standard semantic properties

   <aliman> SKOS Reference: The mapping properties skos:broadMatch,
   skos:narrowMatch and skos:relatedMatch are provided as a
   convenience, for situations where the provenance of data is known,
   and it is useful to be able to tell "at a glance" the difference
   between internal links within a concept scheme and mapping links
   between concept schemes.

   JonP: better replaced than dropped

   TomB: the question is who feels in the position to make assortments
   about standard properties as opposite to mapping relationships

   aliman: I rather say as little as possible

   <Ralph> [perhaps we can note that we recognize a need for standard
   ways to communicate provenance in the Semantic Web and when we have
   such mechanisms, the answer to this question of what one thesaurus
   provider says versus what others say about the thesaurus will become
   more explicit]

   aliman: there is enough in the examples in the Primer
   ... i think it's difficult to say more than the quotation from the
   SKOS Reference

   Ralph: it's outside scope of SKOS to differenciate triples with
   regard to their source

   <aliman> +1 on what ralph says, hence SKOS Reference says: However,
   using the SKOS mapping properties is no substitute for the careful
   management of RDF graphs or the use of provenance mechanisms.

   <TomB> [The argument could run as follows: Ideally, we should be
   able

   <edsu> Ralph++ # well said

   TomB: actually the text I propose says that

   <Antoine> +1

   Ralph: we're both thinking in the same line

   aliman: we don't have best practices to represent provenance. This
   may be a convention you may follow

     [36] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2009Jan/0039.html

   TomB: if we don't say anything about the distinction, people will
   wonder what the distinction is

   <Ralph> [ah, I see the difference Alistair points out between my
   thoughts and Tom's text. I'll have to think about this more. Thanks,
   Alistair.]

   Antoine: I would be happy if we say sthg about mapping relations in
   the Primer

   <Ralph> [it's still out of scope for SKOS to say anything about
   provenance :) ]

   TomB: propose we move the discussion to the list
   ... next meeting?

   <edsu> thanks everyone for the useful discussion of
   loc.gov/lcsh/skos issues

   TomB: I propose we meet next week even if a short call
