3. Catalogue update

Nick: reported latest updates on his discussions with ARDC. He also discussed the differences between a Register (of PIDs) and a catalogue (of Linked Data assets).

4. Project reports

  • Len: Federal budget contains money for the Indigenous Data Network so the Indigenous Geospatatial Ontology and catalogue projects could be funded!
  • Nick:
    • profile-enabled Linked Data publishing stack in Python: SURROUND are trying to add on top of pyLDAPI to allow for publication by profile (youspecify the profile and supply the data, the API delivers it)
    • OGC API - I have produced OGC API-compliant APIs with Linked Data tooling, e.g. http://asgs.surroundaustralia.com
    • OWL-RL - a student is working on this Python tool to assist with RDF reasoning. Due in a few months.
  • Armin:
    • AGRIF project is concoluding this calendar year with software dev tasks completing. There may be more open source tooling couning out of the project in future AGLDWG meetings
    • student project, MEMEX: a distributed graph of web page bookmarks. I have a student linking MEMEX text labels to WikiData text entities. Project half done!

5. Call of yearly agendas

  • Armin - co-chairs discussed:
    • propose we create a catalogue of LD resources
    • improve the website
      • analytics
      • more general info
  • Nick - suggests:
    • establish a regular communication regime with agencies and groups
      • Sandra: ARDC a starting-point for Unis
  • Nataliya
    • maybe we can contact other ARDC groups to tell them about out groups
  • Len
    • maybe we should renew contact with the Data Champions group
    • Tanya: how would we engage? We are technical, they are not

6. Other business

Armin: discussed some elements of the currently-operating International Semantic Web Conference

  • in particular Linked Data published as (RDF) data files with DOIs for permanence, as opposed to Linked Data via APIs Nick: LocI's data is available in downloadable files as well as via Linked Data APIs

Action Items

  • Co-chairs: sort out the mess with monthly calendar invitations. Perhaps send invitations out to the mailing list every month
  • Co-chairs: to ask mailing list for activities they would like to see this year
  • Tanya: contact the Data Champions league to see if an AGLDWG member can present to them
  • Nataliya: contact the groups working on road interoperability in Australia to describe our work and Group
