rhiaro: re: example debate 1 - though we haven't see any volcanoes researchers yet, we have seen people that are interested in listings and products but not for anything social, and have been helping them help move h-listing and h-product forward FWIW
#

"linked data people tend to do our due diligence and check for existing terms before we create new ones" HAHAHAHA. rhiaro need I remind you of FOAF again (vs vCard etc)
#
tantek
"due diligence" oh then you won't mind providing a LINK with DATA to support your assertion of "diligence" ;)
#
tantek
"really the core tenet of linked data is... everything has a globally unique identifier - a URI.. or, fine, a URL if the 'I' is offputting" -- except for the aformentioned "due diligence" which is really more of a no, you should trust me because I'm an expert
#
rhiaro
I don't really know what you're asking for a link to.. every discussion/tutorial about creating new terms starts with 'see if there already exists something you can reuse'. That's things now, can't speak for linked data in the 'old days'..
#
tantek
that "discussion"
#
rhiaro
I'll google some
#
tantek
rhiaro: you're obviously much better in this respect
#
tantek
but this is a very bad habit by LD-advocates as a whole
#
tantek
lots of claims of "trust us" - very few URLs to back up that asserted "trust"
#
aaronpk
there should be a rule: on the URL that defines the LD term, there has to be a link to the discussion about that term
#
@t
New rule: reject claims by "Linked Data" advocate(s) until they provide *links* (URLs) to actual *data*. #extwebsummit (ttk.me t4ak1)

#
rhiaro
here's one I made earlier http://rhiaro.github.io/sws/ (3.6 which has failed to line-break from 3.5)
#
tantek
aaronpk - funny thing, that rule, about having to provide a link to *research* into that object/property, hey, that's part of the microformats process that they complain about as being "too hard"
#
aaronpk
hahaha
#
tantek
pardon me, I forgot a URL to said part of the microformats process
#
tantek
frankly I actually don't care if LD people find it too hard to figure out mf2 extensibllity. the fact that they're focusing on extensibility first, and shipping things second, means they're doomed to fail anyway
#
tantek
s/shipping things/shipping things with *widely accepted existing vocabs*

tantek meant to say: frankly I actually don't care if LD people find it too hard to figure out mf2 extensibllity. the fact that they're focusing on extensibility first, and shipping things with *widely accepted existing vocabs* second, means they're doomed to fail anyway
#
rhiaro
I think a lot of the shipping happens outside of your areas of interest
#
rhiaro
Particularly in research and stuff
#
tantek
extensibility is supposed to be hard, or at least harder than finding and re-using existing vocabularies
#
tantek
rhiaro: no doubt - same thing happened with the explosion of made-up XML vocabs in the late 1990s and 2000s
#
tantek
and where are all those made-up domain specific vocabs now?
#
tantek
rhiaro: https://github.com/jamesaoverton/obo-tutorial/blob/master/docs/using-and-reusing.md is the most thorough docs on this kind of things I have ever seen, impressed that there's mention of e.g. *Community* to maintain a vocabulary
#
tantek
those are good sources for research
#
rhiaro
linked data people aren't actually all impractical antisocial crazies :)
#
rhiaro
I know you don't want to believe that..
#
tantek
no it's actually relief to know there's more sanity out there than suspected
#
tantek
perhaps it's just exposure to too many non-implementing crazies through W3C :/

hey rhiaro do you have the ability to add to http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/vocabs ?
#
rhiaro
I think LOV is centrally run, they take suggestions but they add stuff themselves
#
tantek
do they have a form somewhere where you can submit, you know, a LINK to some additional vocabulary? ;)
#
tantek
wonders if Linked Open Vocabularies accepts Links to Open Vocabularies
#
tantek
#sorrynotsorry
#
rhiaro
literally a form for a link :)

rhiaro
with a shiny pdf to help you...

well alrighty then
#
tantek
what a riot indeed
#
rhiaro
oh cool, they try to parse the rdf from the vocabulary already
#
rhiaro
s/already/immediately
#
Loqi
rhiaro meant to say: oh cool, they try to parse the rdf from the vocabulary immediately
#
rhiaro
guess they don'tn consider an occasion where there is no rdf :p
#
rhiaro
I can go add some rdfa into the mf wiki if you like :D
#
tantek
what is it that they're looking for?
#
rhiaro
an rdf representation of the vocabulary
#
rhiaro
that thing where the URI to a vocabulary/term is supposed to resolve to a human and machine readable version
#
rhiaro
their machines are trying to read it
#
tantek
alright, is the "Recommendations for vocabulary metadata description" PDF a giant troll?
#
tantek
what happens if I submit that...
#
rhiaro
I dunno it's kind of hilarious
#
rhiaro
I guess just somebody couldn't be bothered to htmlize that document, and then it got forgotten about
#
tantek
or even RDFize it
#
rhiaro
or both
#
tantek
as in have it "resolve to a human and machine readable version" :P
#
tantek
hey that's not an XFN creator translation
#
rhiaro
that pdf even contains instructions to make documentation human and machine readable
