Formal resolutions and actions from the F2F

I have collected the formal resolutions and actions we took at the F2F, see the list below.

Interestingly, we did not take a formal resolution that the CSV->RDF/JSON conversions will be the 'simple' conversions, and that the mustache/R2RML experiments are not work items any more (and that there will be a separate CG for those); however, that was pretty clearly stated in the second day's discussion. 

So here are the lists. For details and contexts, see the two minutes:

One particular resolution that has an immediate consequence: we decided to move the weekly telco's time by two hours, ie, to 11am Boston time; this facilitates the participation of our US West Coast friends. (I have asked the admin team to move the zakim timing for next week already.)


# Formal Resolutions #

- We will define the terms �title� and �language� (for columns) and �language� (for table groups down), provide examples using qualified terms for other metadata vocabularies, and be guided by DWBP wrt recommending other particular metadata terms to recommend
- We should not support �geopoint� as a datatype
- We should not support �object�, �array� or �geojson� as datatypes
- We will add �xml� and �html� datatypes as defined in RDF
- We have no difference between an empty string with quotes around it and one without quotes around it
- We do not support annotations on regions (for now)
- We use an �import� property in the first metadata document found through the precedence hierarchy described in section 3 (but with inclusion of user-defined metadata); the merge is a depth first recursive inclusion
- We will use �describedby� as the relevant link relation
- We find a metadata file by adding �-metadata.json� to the end of the URL of the CSV file, but only if the URL doesn�t contain a query component
- We do not traverse path hierarchies to locate metadata files
- For now, and without limiting our future work, that we scope to the simplest possible thing that might work and therefore do not have multi-object per line or multiple columns per value
- The simple JSON mapping is a mapping for web developers who need not care about RDF; to generate an RDF serialisation such as JSON-LD, use the RDF mapping and serialise as JSON-LD informed by the metadata file to make a more asthetic result
- We drop the ability in the schema to specify metadata at the row or cell level: schemas are only used to define columns
- We will use URI templates for generating URLs for objects created from rows, for mapping of cell values, and for predicate URIs
- We remove referencing packaging (except as a note) in the Data Model WD
- We will label conversion of CSV to XML as an at risk feature
- We reserve 1 hour at 15:00 UK time on Wednesdays
- We continue on with the calls and review this in a couple of months
- Create github issues for every issue in a document. That we use tracker for actions outside documents that are administrative
- We mirror all the CSV parsing configuration specified in the model document as properties within an object in the metadata document
