Discovery context and namespace under w3.org/ns

[farshidtz]

The discovery spec currently references the context and ontology using the draft URL.

What is the process of hosting these under w3.org/ns/wot-discovery?

I found the following, already defined by the WoT WG:

• https://www.w3.org/ns/td
• https://www.w3.org/ns/wot-security
• https://www.w3.org/ns/json-schema

Once this is done, we can update the referenced context URLs and the namespace for type URIs. Also related to #54.

@ashimura any idea? There are many "draft" URLs in the spec and ontology and it is getting out of hand.

Options

1. Use a sub-URL under td, e.g. https://www.w3.org/ns/td/discovery ... however, wot-security is separate for some reason... we should figure out what, maybe it matters here too.
2. Continue to use github for now (makes testing easier), add an ednote saying it will be changed in the final version. (Late binding and back-patching)
3. Assume a given URL, use it in all examples, and add an ednote saying it is tentative and may change. Nicer to read, makes testing harder.

I would suggest option 2 (@farshidtz to check there is a note and if not, create it), and then explore option 1 (@ashimura and @mmccool; email to @sebastiankb and @plehegar).

[mmccool]

@mmccool to create a PR for option 2.

I seems I was supposed to do a PR to implement option 2. Will at least check it has been done, in time for the CR transition.
But at this point, we can use a combination of 1 and 3:

• Normatively propose a URL as in 1, that will go into CR transition
• Add an ed note that says that for the purposes of testing, implementations may use the github URL up until PR.

@mmccool - need a PR, prior to CR transition.

[mmccool]

Ed note is there, but we still need to resolve by PR. Changing label to "Resolve by PR".

To clarify, what value should implementations currently be using for the @context of Directory TDs and Enriched TDs?

• https://w3c.github.io/wot-discovery/context/discovery-context.jsonld
• https://www.w3.org/2021/wot/discovery
• http://www.w3.org/ns/td/{something}

Currently there's an assertion in section 7.1.1.1 which enforces https://www.w3.org/2021/wot/discovery#ThingDirectory, but examples use http://www.w3.org/ns/td for TD and https://w3c.github.io/wot-discovery/context/discovery-context.jsonld for Discovery.

Meanwhile, the TD specification clearly specifies https://www.w3.org/2022/wot/td/v1.1 for the latest version of TDs.

Am I correct in understanding during CR status we should use:

@context: [
  "https://www.w3.org/2022/wot/td/v1.1", 
  "https://w3c.github.io/wot-discovery/context/discovery-context.jsonld"
]

for both Directory TDs and Enriched TDs inside a Directory, until the URL for Discovery is finalised?

Think this is all sorted out now, closing.
