Minutes

1. Review Last Meeting

• this is the first, recent, meeting to use GitHub for Minutes so no previous minutes to review
• resolved to create wiki pages like this one for all future meetings so we can always easily review previous meetings' minutes

2. Address PRs

• Started at PR #1068 and progressed into Page 1 of ~35 PRs. Closed several WONTFIXes

3. Graph() API

• Completed deprecation of g.load() by replacing downstream uses of it with g.parse() (PR #1167)

4. Closed Namespace Review

• Discussed PR #1074 and all agreed that it was excellent and valuable work. Wrote to author and involved contributors within PR conversation to ask if it's ready for merging as it has a lot of chat.

5. Package relations

• Discussed pushing some work of Ashley's in pySHACL into RDFlib - he is still working on de-merging the code which is for auto-parsing of a file if not given a format parameter or a file ending
• Discussed merging JSON-LD package into RDFlib core
  • Agreed this should happen after JSON-LD work in rdflib-jsonld is complete
  • Edmond advises JSON-LD 1.1. work is only 2/7 or so elements complete
  • Nick wrote to mailing list to ask for volunteers for JSON-LD 1.1. work in rdflib-jsonld
