Admin

Agenda going to spam?

agenda went to Spam for Beatriz and Marlin (using uni. Microsoft account)

Repo Migration to w3c-cg

migration to repo to w3c-cg/dpv on github w3c/dpv#466

harshPandit: we have to inform w3c admin if we object otherwise on Friday they migrate the current github/w3c organisation to github/w3c-cg

beatrizEsteves: this is a new organisation, which means a new url etc. But everything gets redirected automatically like issues and any current urls we use or others may be using

no objections

ACTION: Check migration on April 03 and email public mailing list announcing the change

guide for DPV contributors on semantics - see w3c/dpv#467 ongoing discussion

HarshPandit: <explanation>

JulianFlake: to raise another question -- whether one is modelling a hierarhcy of classes or a taxonomy; is there a possibility for a mixed model where there are a hierarchy of classes but with a few instances? What we put in the spreadsheet is generated in RDF, but not rendered as expected in the HTML (need to recheck). This was fixed by using the taxonomy and then adding instances, but what we want is mostly classes and some instances

HarshPandit: its possible to do this via the code, yes

JulianFlake: thanks, will recheck

DPV 2.4

proposed work program https://github.com/w3c/dpv/milestone/10

AjayJadhav: Also have colleagues on the call - Ankita and Kalyan who will also be joining next week

EHDS

w3c/dpv#238 (updates?)

BeatrizEsteves: With Gabriela and Marlin we are mapping new concepts to propose for addition to EHDS and SECTOR-HEALTH

DE-GDNG

w3c/dpv#452 (updates?)

JulianFlake: no updates

AI Use Transparency

w3c/dpv#451 (updates)

updated discussion on the issue regarding these concepts reflecting what has been done i.e. what happened as a log rather than as a measure for what should happen

GeorgKrog: what is the use case for this?

MuhsinHameed: academic writing, in previous meetings Art mentioned something about supply chain but we did not look into that. we are also looking at use case related to AI use transparency in documentation and compliance reports

AI model openness

w3c/dpv#315 (updates?)

no updates, Art is also not here

AI Documentation

(e.g. Datasheets and Model Cards) w3c/dpv#94 (confirm concepts for documentation formats?)

HarshPandit: the current issue item is to add concepts for ai:Datasheet and ai:ModelCard as documentation

Art: Croissant updated their schema recently in January https://docs.mlcommons.org/croissant/docs/croissant-spec-1.1.html , so good time to also look into that. HuggingFace tried to use and also models from OpenML and Kaggle.

HarshPandit: We did talk to them about DPV and modelling legal aspects, and there's an open issue about this

Art: mlcommons/croissant#808

Beatriz: So should they be using DPV or should we have a mapping from our schema to their work? Not sure.

Harsh: Preference to not do any mapping at the moment as I don't know what is their roadmap for law/policy

Art: Their focus is on dataset metadata, which is used in libraries/frameworks, and the goal is reproducibility. They are active in NeurIPS community, so dataset that is submitted to the conference has to be provided in this format for example.

AI Documentation proposal

from Fabian AI Act https://github.com/w3c/dpv/issues/463, AI Quality Assessments https://github.com/w3c/dpv/issues/465, and other concepts being discuss w3c/dpv#464 (updates)

Harsh: quality assessment concepts

Harsh: missing concepts in DQV, and also specialisations for data and AI

Beyza: DQV has Dimension concept which is then used to create e.g. Suitability

Harsh: but we want a specific IRI saying Suitability and DQV shows these as examples but they don't give an IRI for this https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dqv/#dqv:Dimension

Beyza: Maybe something to ask Riccardo (editor of DQV)

Beatriz: I was going to suggest adding a mapping from DPV to DQV but if the concepts are not there then not sure what to do

Beyza: There are some mappings on the DQV page in Appendix C. Also Jeremy (Debatista) had IRIs for these concepts for his Luzzu work which could be useful here

(mailing list thread)

DPV TOM extension with more PETs https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-dpvcg/2026Mar/0009.html

Beatriz: This was an email on the mailing list for adding measures to the TOMs taxonomy regarding PETs. I'm following up on that, and we will have a meeting on that next week.

AOB

Sal: Commercial usecase related to biometrics. Company in Turkey called OnesTechnology based in Ankara; who work with biometrics and have stuff like smart cards and smart badges etc. which have biometrics. We are creating notices for these using DPV and IEEE 7012. Was looking at DPV's coverage of biometrics for these. Will share that shortly.

Beyza: What's the name of the company?

Sal: Ones based in Ankara. Also looking at GDPR, AI Act implications, and transparency work. RealSense from Intel, and then IDMachines which is our company. This is "frontware" which is in front of people.

Beatriz: Thanks. Please share e.g. on mailing list. This will help track use/adoption of DPV.
