Submit to LOV

<ghurlbot> Issue 353 v2.2 LOV submission (by coolharsh55)

HarshPandit: Spreadsheet to be generated for this release (de-gdng and ieee-7012 are new extensions)

DPV v2.3 release schedule

HarshPandit: delay in schedule, we are still finalising the concepts and content for EHDS, AI Act, and standards; also the reviews are yet to be made for GDPR, 7012 -- so we will plan to wrap these up today and this week, and have the draft be ready next week

HarshPandit: v2.3 milestone on github has list of tasks https://github.com/w3c/dpv/milestone/9

HarshPandit: also created milestone for v2.4 https://github.com/w3c/dpv/milestone/10 with tasks for the next release; we will have a big push on documentation and also a large number of concepts being prepared for the regulations. Tentative draft ready in June, and release in July.

EU EHDS

<ghurlbot> Issue 238 Update EHDS extension with practical concepts (by coolharsh55)

<ghurlbot> Issue 299 Model Purpose Compatibility statuses for EHDS (by coolharsh55)

BeatrizEsteves: for concepts, keep DataHolder in SECTOR-HEALTH, and then in EHDS keep HealthDataHolder as it appears in the law

JulianFlake: agree for GDNG; also for GDNG we have German and English terms, labels and definitions so this is also helpful and is incorporated in to the PR

BeatrizEsteves: still making changes on the proposed concepts, aiming to finish today or tomorrow

Meeting on this FRI 16:00 CET

DE-GDNG

<ghurlbot> Issue 387 Extension for the German GDNG (by chhdraeger)

JulianFlake: ready to be integrated; Christian has also joined the group as a member of the DPVCG which takes care of the contribution issues; they have additional concepts from other members – is it necessary for them to be members?

HarshPandit: no, but if they want regular contribution and participation then its sensible to have them join the group

Julian will confirm with Christian and colleagues, and will update the PR for adding this to 2.3

ACTION: add Secondary Use to SECTOR-HEALTH by extending the DPV concept

IEEE 7012 / MyTerms

HarshPandit: simplified view https://dev.dpvcg.org/2.3-dev/dpv/ ; issues with redirecting hashtag identifiers / fragments to module so have provided an index of concepts

JulianFlake: could be we make module-wise lists and only expand those as needed for the concept needed

Standards

<ghurlbot> Issue 26 DPV-ISO providing concepts from ISO terminology and standards (by coolharsh55)

discussion on the need for explaining how ISO concepts align with DPV concepts, and approaches being to create extensions so ISO concepts also available in machine-readable format, and to then provide a machine-readable mapping, and a HTML guide for humans; Issues identified regarding copyright, extent of work and coverage, and necessity.

HarshPandit: Propose we add core concepts from 29100 to explain foundational ISO concepts like PII and that these are covered in DPV.

JulianFlake: can we also add 27000 concepts which are key for security

HarshPandit: we can also not provide the extension as the mapping

DelaramGolpayegani: +1 for mapping

BeatrizEsteves: +1 for mapping

GeorgKrog: +1 for mapping

JulianFlake: +1 for mapping

agreed to create the mapping in a machine-readable manner with HTML guide, but to not have the extension

ACTION: Create the ISO mapping and the HTML documentation

AOB

ETSI AI standards

ArthitSuriyawongkul: two ETSI standards for cybersecurity for cyber resilience act and second is responding to the request for implementing the AI Act in relation to AI operation. They are a bit away from data/privacy and more on cybersecurity/software engineering. May need to see if they are relevant to DPV scope.

ArthitSuriyawongkul: Securing Artificial Intelligence (SAI); Baseline Cyber Security Requirements for AI Models and Systems Cyber Security Requirements for AI https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/WorkProgram/Report_WorkItem.asp?WKI_ID=74952

ArthitSuriyawongkul: Methods for Testing & Specification (MTS); Continuous Auditing Based Conformity Assessment for AI-enabled systems Continuous Audit Conformity Assessment for AI https://portal.etsi.org/webapp/workProgram/Report_WorkItem.asp?wki_id=68039

HarshPandit: To check with folks like Delaram who have worked on AI (Act) standards before would be good to check for scope

India's DPDP

India's DPDP is the privacy law

AjayJadhav: part of the CREDEBL project (https://www.lfdecentralizedtrust.org/projects/credebl) in Linux foundation decentralized Trust. We are interested in understanding how DPV can be extended for India's DPDP

HarshPandit: Excellent, as we had discussed DPDP before, and Georg/Signatu also had work on this. We have the IN extension for India, so within that namespace we'd have to create an extension for DPDP similar to how EU-GDPR has an extension. Then we model the concepts within that -- we use spreadsheets for this. Best to follow up via email on this.

GeorgKrog: We have worked on this as well. Better to combine efforts to avoid duplication/repetition.

ACTION: For DPDP, Ajay to email Harsh to follow up the conversation; and then Harsh will loop Georg in for avoiding duplicate work
