    it's ok Deborah, already recorded ... thought you have strange
    characters in your sentences

    <paolo> I sent a link to the SWPM wiki yesterday through the mlist,
    not sure it was distributed correctly?

3. Goal of this XG

    Yolanda: we are an Incubator Group, XG, and NOT a WG, so we will not
    develop a recommendation

    <Deborah> ok - thx raphael - is there a url where we can view the
    full recording? (i only can see text since i rejoined irc)

    Yolanda: we will rather explore new area and provide guidance to W3C
    of what should be done in this domain

    Deborah, here

    <rreck> yes, I sent you an email to that effect

    Yolanda: mailing list is public, and archived, so everything you
    send is accessible for ever
    ... we need to define the scope? of the work
    ... provenance is present in a very broad range of domains
    ... in the context of the Semantic Web, a lot of interest for Linked
    Data

    Raphael: indeed, there is at least me, Olaf Hartif here ... in the
    Washington DC VoCamp in the Library of Congress, and we are
    discussing Provenance vocabularies

    Yolanda: goal is to describe the landscape of the various intiatives

    <pgroth> Paul

    <pgroth> as well raphael :-)

    Yolanda: identify the aspect of provenance thant concerns various
    communities including Semantic Web
    ... ultmately we will provide a state of the art on the topic ...
    and a roadmap that could recommend some standardisation effort
    ... wiki will be a good place to collaboratively contribute

    <jmyers4> and present + Jim M?

    Yolanda: open forum so that everyone can comment

    thanks all for your help :-)

    <rreck> i would send some lessons learned from the social XG

    ???: Problem with the wiki ... is it write protected?

    <pgroth> what's the url of the wiki?

    scribe: can you add all participants of this XG as wiki user?

    WIKI URL: [18]http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/wiki/Main_Page

      [18] http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/wiki/Main_Page

    Rreck: I want to give you my experience with the Social Web XG ...
    how to use the wiki for writing use cases

    <rreck> i think i forwarded those to you

    <rreck> i would be glad to post them

    Yolanda: which use cases from the SW XG would be interesting for
    this group?

    rreck, please, send anything to the PUBLIC mailing list and not
    privalety to the chair

    since this group operates in public

    <rreck> right, i havent joined the group offcially

    <rreck> and she asked me to do so

    <rreck>

    [20]http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/UserStories#Shil
    ls_Posting_False_Information_to_Dilute_the_Truth

      [20] 
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/UserStories#Shills_Posting_False_Information_to_Dilute_the_Truth

    could you please all state your name before talking ? I cannot yet
    match voices with names

    <pgroth> that was pgroth

    <pgroth> i should have used the speaker queue

    Paul: I suggest we liaise with other groups / other organizations

    Raphael: are you suggesting some particular groups and organisations
    ?

    <rreck> maybe we can come up with a template for usecases?

    Yolanda: if you have a w3c account, you should be able to edit the
    wiki
    ... we need to structure it as well, have a part of use cases, use
    stories, etc.
    ... who is willing to organize a top level structure for the wiki ?
    ... I'm asking for a volunteer

    who has talked ?

    <rreck> its seems that security to the wiki is group specific,
    therefore all w3c accounts will not automatically work

    <smiles> Paul talked

    Paul: I volunteer, didn't get your name

    <paolo> Washington DC VoCamp in the Library of Congress, and we are
    discussing Provenance vocabularies

    <rreck> i wish i had the stamina to have attended

    <Deborah> great paolo - you might mention this group and the
    upcoming ipaw - june 15-16, and challenge june 17 at RPI

    <paolo> Deborah is there a CFP for IPAW already?

4. Plan for the next meting

    <Deborah> coming very soon

    <paolo> ok thx

    Yolanda: I think we should start with some use cases

    <rreck> i agree that setting milestones is a great idea

    <Deborah> it will go up at [21]http://tw.rpi.edu/portal/IPAW2010

      [21] http://tw.rpi.edu/portal/IPAW2010

    Yolanda: we will spend time with more introduction with the ones who
    couldn't make it today, and then discuss high level goals for the
    group

    <rreck> might i recommend a template for usecases?

    <Deborah> +1 to template suggestion

    Yolanda: anyone wants to suggest other topics for discussion ?

    +1 for template for use cases

    <pgroth> simon? template

    <rreck> i will take that action

    Yolanda: I would put a discussion item next week for such a template

    Simon: I will work on one?

    I would certainly help next week scribe, thanks Paolo

    Next scribe: Paolo

    <pgroth> luc's survey

    Luc's survey is indeed the right things to start with

    Paoo: what is the current timeline to have this survey available

    Luc: I hope to release the survey by next week
