• New Members: Savita Farooqui has attended for several meetings but did an introduction to share her background in digital experience and in the last two years in the IEEE P2145 Blockchain Governance Working Group.

• Action item from the last meeting.
• Daniel has created a Python script as promised in his action item to show how a glossary is created from a terms wiki (screenshot #1)
• He demonstrated it first with an example terms wiki for science fiction terms (screenshot #2)
• He showed how to call the tool (screenshot #3)
• And how to configure what will be included in the glossary output (screenshot #4)
• The output is a fully consumable glossary document (screenshot #5)
• The output is also able to show hovertext for linked terms (screenshot #6)
• The output can be configured to include any combination of terms wikis
• Glossary documents use a stylesheet to control formatting (screenshot #7)
• Nicky Hickman asked what happens if a term has multiple definitions in different terms wikis?
  • Daniel showed how a glossary can include multiple definitions of a term (screenshot #8)
  • Rieks Joosten pointed out that the same term may have different definitions in different scopes that need to be able to be referred to independently. He gave the example of "verification", a term for which the W3C Verifiable Credentials spec gives a specific definition (about conforming data structure) that varies from the standard English definition (about the truth of information).
  • Daniel explained that the references produced by the glossary output tool are either internal to the glossary document or to external resources.
• Drummond Reed asked how a group can manage a stream of changes to the terms in a glossary while still producing stable links to embed in the deliverables.
  • Daniel explained how a glossary can be in an unpublished or published state.
• Reiks shared in chat the steps for a specific ToIP TF:
  • 1. define the terms that are specific to the TF in the tf-terms wiki
  • 2. import terms from others (query file)
  • 3. generate glossary (local)
  • 4. define your deliverables, use your (local) terminology
  • 5. publish deliverable + glossary
• Rieks Joosten asked if Daniel has "skipped the corpus", i.e., where is the underlying corpus?
  • Daniel explained that, behind the scenes, the ToIP Term tool is creating copies of all the incorporated terms wikis as one step in creating the corpus (screenshot #9).
• Daniel also showed how his design of the tool can incorporate different queries against different terms wikis (screenshot #10).
• Nicky Hickman asked for a way to tag a term that is still in development in order to show the level of confidence of the group in the term.
  • This could be used both for the development stage, but also to track changes in the evolution of the term over time and different versions of a GF (or different GFs).
