  • Lisa.Lu@standards.org.au 20/11/2020 emailed: Dear whomever it may concern, Standards Australia recently reached out to your organisation, the Australian Linked Data Working Group, as an important stakeholder who might like to have representation and input into the work of National Technical Committee IT-027 Data management and interchange. IT-027 has the responsibility of standards development for data management within and among local and distributed information systems and will undertake work in the following areas: reference models and frameworks for the coordination of existing and emerging standards; definition of data domains, data types, and data structures, and their associated semantics; languages, services, and protocols for persistent storage, concurrent access, concurrent update, and interchange of data; methods, languages, services, and protocols to structure, organize, and register metadata and other information resources associated with sharing.
  • Bernadette: No need for AGLDWG to be a legal entity to nominate members for SA. Simple email will do.
  • John Machin Prposed AGLDWG to support Ms. Gowri Sriraman, NSW Health & Ms. Bernadette Hyland-Wood, The University of Queensland as its representatives in SA working group.

  • Bernadette & Gowri proposed as liasons
  • clarification as to the number of liasosn (1 or 2?) sought from SA with Bernadette/Gowri/Margie to arrange

  • Nick: will FSDF make dataset requests following these definitional requests?
    • Irina: yes, lots
  • Nick: a WG catalogue of URI requests may be needed for large volums of requests

ACTION: Nick to demo a catalogue tool he has promised for months

  • Armin: is /def/water a sensible (ontologically) URI?
    • Nick (for Irina): this is based on FSDF themes, "Water". This should be debated in the WG mailing list
