DPV 2.0

Version Naming

<ghurlbot> Issue 45 Preserving older versions of DPV and other resources (by coolharsh55)

harsh: the folders and IRIs for versions have been renamed from v1 and v2 to 1.0 and 2.0 following best practices for semantic versioning

<ghurlbot> Issue 133 w3id update for dpv2 (by coolharsh55)

harsh: w3id has been updated with PR by beatrizEsteves, it will go live as soon as it is aproved by the w3id group

Changelog

harsh: We have a changelog for v2 which can be viewed at https://dev.dpvcg.org/2.0/changelog - once merged into main branch the link will be https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0/changelog

Search Index

harsh: We have a searcheable index of all concepts from DPV and extensions on a single page - this is the same implementation that was presented earlier but hadn't been merged and updated into the DPV repo. Link is: https://dev.dpvcg.org/2.0/search - this link after merging main branch will be https://w3id.org/dpv/2.0/search

Miscellaneous

harsh: implemented syntax highlighting for examples in the documents - see examplehttps://dev.dpvcg.org/2.0/examples/#example-implications-of-using-skos-vs-owl

<ghurlbot> Issue 132 Landing page for DPV (by coolharsh55)

harsh: implemented DPV landing page https://www.dpvcg.org/

harsh: created a concise version of the primer https://dev.dpvcg.org/primer/concise - this link after merging main branch will be https://w3id.org/dpv/primer/concise

harsh: OOPS! validation for best practices doesn't show any issues, and FOOPS! validation gives a score of 79% with 2 items to be completed after publishing DPV regarding registering DPV in LOV (Linked Open Vocabularies) service. 2 items are false positives as they relate to not detecting SKOS annotations in OWL ontologies - an issue has been opened about this in FOOPS! github repo oeg-upm/fair_ontologies#114

harsh: various fixes in typos, iris, text (implemented)

julianFlake: should the README that is currently visible at https://w3c.github.io/dpv/ be redirected to DPV spec?

harsh: no, we do not control that url as it is under W3C/Github, and we can replace that with an index.html or redirect but that would mean the README is no longer visible to people who may use the url accidentally.

Diagrams

<ghurlbot> Issue 166 Update diagrams for v2 (by coolharsh55)

harsh: we have implemented everything else in the documents, only the diagrams are left to be updated

julianFlake: we can use UML based diagrams? For example - see diagrams updated in the Primer. UML diagrams will give a consistent look and interpretation as it is a standardised representation of concepts.

harsh: yes, UML is good, and we should have a consistent approach for updating diagrams as the concepts change. Currently the existing diagrams need to be updated as they are incorrect for the latest version

steveHickman: good to use diagrams in a consistent and known representation

paulRyan: merit in UML for long term maintainence

group agreed to go ahead with using UML based diagrams

Release Schedule

harsh: we have two options - 1) We release it right now (with updated diagrams); or 2) We release it as a beta version with a period for feedback and fixing any specific issues found.

paulRyan: pre-release seems pragmatic

group is in agreement about releasing 2.0 as a beta release first with a feedback period until JUL-31. If no major issues are found, we will continue with the final release.

Next meeting

The next meeting will be in 1 week on WED 03 JUL 14:00 WEST / 15:00 CEST. Agenda will be DPV v2.0 beta release and future tasks.
