Agenda

1. Take over the RDF UI (Drupal) module and extend it to external/any Ontologies. How to approach that, how to interact with Drupal code directly(they have a different workflow). Why? I have some ideas (Diego) https://www.drupal.org/project/rdfui
2. SHACL. Bryan Brown via social media reminded us we had this conversations long ago. Should we explore this for the UI/UX side of things? Maybe also for graph validation and restricting pre ingest?

• SHACL shape graphs "may be used for a variety of purposed beside validation, including user interface building, code generation and data integration".

3. Vagrant issues: #448 led to #458, #459, and #460 :(
4. PR's are up for #450: https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/islandora/issues/23 and https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/451
5. This will get us set up for end-to-end testing, to help us catch Vagrant install fails earlier: https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/455

Minutes

1. Take over RDF UI

• Other D8 projects probably don't need more than schema.org support, but we have needs for much more than that. RDF UI's scope is specifically for schema.org, but they have a good API. Should we take it over?
• A good first step would be to open a discussion with the current maintainers, perhaps open an issue to discuss our needs and potential scope. Maybe they would be open to expanding their scope if we contribute to it. That seems to be the more community-oriented way to proceed.

2. Explore SHACL

• Should we explore this for the UI/UX side of things? Maybe also for graph validation and restricting pre ingest?
• SHACL shape graphs "may be used for a variety of purposed beside validation, including user interface building, code generation and data integration".
• Could be used to define RDF UI forms and bundles? Import/export RDF UI forms?
• No PHP implementation yet, so no way we could use it in CLAW without implementing it ourselves.
  • https://github.com/TopQuadrant/shacl - Java implementation
• Using SHACL is out of scope for the MVP, but could be useful later for setting collection policies or something.
• Tangent about D8 entities vs bundles...
• Bryan will open an issue to collect potential use cases and keep the SHACL flame alive

3. Vagrant issues #448, #458, #459, and #460

• Lots of cascading Vagrant issues
• "My Country Internet"
• If you have some free pre-holiday-break downtime, feel free to check these out
• ALSO If you have a working Vagrant VM DON'T DESTROY IT until these issues are fixed.

4. PR's for #450: #23 and #451

• Some Drupal stuff that may be blocked by Vagrant issues.
• Uses rules to show JSON event messages on screen when Drupal objects are changed. Neat!

5. This will get us set up for end-to-end testing, to help us catch Vagrant install fails earlier: #455

• We need some Alpaca tests that test the whole environment.
• Nick will do it unless someone else wants to.
