Any news and updates of general interest to CTWG members

From Rieks Joosten in Slack (Thur Oct 6th):

• A week after RWoT 11 in the Hague, I thought it a good idea to share my (continued) surprise about

  • the The kudo's appreciations that have been expressed in plenaries (e.g., by Joe Andrieu) for the terminology process that I've put him and several others through, not only for its power in getting to understand others, but also for gaining a better understanding of the topics being treated, and for its contribution to team building.

  • the The intention, voiced by Manu Sporny, to work more and more in alignment with this kind of work, and get better definitions part of the standardization work at W3C (a difficulty perhaps being that it takes people to get accustomed to working in another way).

• Now let's make sure we get some tooling done that can help them. I've added ReSpec support to the list of contexts that the TEv2 toolbox should be supporting as a second priority (the first being to get something running for ToIP).

• This could potentially make it easier for the W3C and ToIP communities to work together.

Rieks shared that at RWOT he did an "adventure" (a standup open space session) to "Determine the Holder" (of a verifiable credential). This helped establish that the RWOT participants had different ideas about what actually defined a holder. It was quite an eye-opener for both Rieks and the RWOT attendees.

Rieks said that this highlighted the importance of the mental model work. Nicky Hickman compared a mental model to scaffolding — it gives you the basics from which much more work can be done. It helped her enormously when doing the Yoma glossary work, and more recently in the SSI Harms white paper. 

•  ACTION: Drummond Reed edit the Zoom meeting link/recording (in the meeting notes) so that it points to the recording.
•  ACTION: Drummond Reed agenda item for next meeting: Mental Model TF (MMTF). 
•  ACTION: Drummond Reed agenda item for next meeting: discuss how CTWG and other WGs/TFs interact.
•  ACTION: Rieks Joosten to discuss skipping meeting of Sept 26th in slack (because of RWOT)

Sid Haniff will report on his progress — a Docker image is ready to be hosted in the ToIP Github. 

• Rieks will explore how to incorporate the Docker tools into eSSIF-Lab work.
• Nicky Hickman said she's ready to try out the Terminology Toolbox 2.0 tooling as soon as it is ready for "end-user usage".
• Rieks Joosten is also talking within TNO about the growing need for these terminology tools.

•  ACTION: Drummond Reed status to check with Judith Fleenor about resources on hiring additional hands (what's happened to the budget?)resources/budgets in order to complete the Terminology Toolbox 2.0 functionality.
