gist Development Team Meeting 2021.05.27

Agenda and Notes

• Attending: Boris Pelakh, Dalia Dahleh, Dan Carey, Jamie Gulden, Michael Uschold, Rebecca Younes, Steve Steward

• Review action items from previous meeting

  • Boris Pelakh to create new issue for documentation and assign to himself, Peter Winstanley, and Michael Uschold. They will create some combination of Michael's spreadsheets and Peter's Kindle book. DONE.
  • Deferred Peter to create issue or add to next meeting's discussion points on developing a gist design pattern primer?
  • Deferred Dan will schedule a meeting to get Ted Hills involved in Geo discussion, potentially targeting v11.0.0.

• Discussion topics

  • Are changes to or additions of annotation properties a patch or minor change? Relates to PR #449: Domain and range includes, to which an answer is required before merging.
    • Michael: Information about intended usage, so should be minor.
    • Boris: Patch change only fixes things that are already there. Introducing new elements is always a minor change, regardless of the type of things added.
    • Rebecca: I'm OK with this.
    • Michael: Separate issue: Schema has these properties but they are rdf:Property. We could use the Schema properties if we agree to using rdf:Property. Should we use them?
    • Rebecca: Use if annotation properties, not if they are non-annotations because OWL reasoning doesn't work on rdf:Property (is this correct)?
    • Michael: Protege reasoners treat RDF properties as annotations.
    • Jamie: Schema is a mess so we don't want to import it.
    • Rebecca: We don't have to import it. And we don't have to use all of it.
    • Dan: But other people might then think we're endorsing Schema across the board.
    • Conclusion: Define our own properties. Finalize and merge this PR.
    • TO DO (Rebecca): Add to style guide: Don't use rdf:Property and rdfs:Class from other ontologies.
  • Review existing branches to see if any can be deleted. A branch should be manually deleted when a PR is merged.
    • TO DO (Rebecca): There are two branches not associated with open PRs. Figure out whether they can be deleted.
  • Where are we with the magnitudes and units PR?
    • Michael has spent time reviewing it. Needs more time. Will review Dave's proposal to break into 5 independent issues. Will not include in 10.0.0.
  • Release 10.0.0 still scheduled for end of June.
