Summary of 31st May 2011 Linked Data discussion

Here are my notes on the 31st of May 2011 bi-weekly linked data code sprint

Participants: linclark, scor, milesw, cwells73, ronald_istos

The issues discussed were:

A. http://drupal.org/node/1106484 - Provide overview of all mappings for all bundles

Everyone agreed that an overview was a useful step and that it could be divided into:
a. Providing an overview for information only purposes
b. Evolving that to a more generic RDF UI mapping tool (http://drupal.org/node/1159104) that will replaced the existing UI(s) that are dispersed throughout the Drupal interface

Two current models:
http://drupal.org/files/issues/localhostrdfcontribadminconfigservicesrdf...
http://drupal.org/files/issues/1106484-16-mappings-overview.jpg

of which the former will be the carried forward.

Some of the issues brought up:
1. How to distinguish between mappings for fields and mappings to other properties of entities. Consensus seemed to be that there may be no need to distinguish - but we should provide some explanation about where and how properties that can be annotated are there.
2. What interface pattern to use to allow editing - a suggestion is provided here: http://drupal.org/node/1159104#comment-4538818

B. Remove/Optionalize the RDF Tab - http://drupal.org/node/1159104#comment-4538818

General consensus was that this is a good idea and a straightforward change and one that ties in well with using RestWS - http://drupal.org/project/restws for non-rdfa serializations and content negotiation. There is an issue and patch for this that needs review and is close to ready - http://drupal.org/node/781972 .

C. Finally, discussed an issue with autocomplete described here: http://drupal.org/node/1130598

Agreed that this could be dealt once A above was working.

Next meeting in two weeks. Once more - thanks Lin for organizing. Follow ups in issue queue and on #drupal-rdf
