| [11:54:02] | <symbioquine[m]> | FarmOS dev call starting in ~6 minutes! https://meet.jit.si/farmos-dev All are welcome! |
| [11:54:33] | <mstenta[m]> | We'll be recording a how-to video about creating custom CSV importers :-) |
| [11:54:59] | <mstenta[m]> | (It will be posted to the blog afterwards, for anyone who is interested but can't make it) |
| [13:27:54] | <paul121[m]> | While it is correct to say "URI", in practice we probably just mean "short-URIs", perhaps Compact URIs "CURIEs" although these add square brackets to distinguish them from URIs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURIE |
| [13:28:08] | <paul121[m]> | mstenta gbathree ^^ |
| [14:25:30] | <mstenta[m]> | symbioquine fosten aislinnpearson gbathree what do you think about `external_uri` as a compromise? (instead of `ontology_uri`... https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/pull/808) |
| [14:25:48] | <mstenta[m]> | (I have a side chat w/ paul121 and that's where we're leaning now) |
| [14:27:01] | <mstenta[m]> | external_uri seems like a nice balance of being intuitive, supporting the cases that have come up, and not being overly specific (like "ontology") |
| [14:50:54] | <symbioquine[m]> | Personally, I prefer "ontology(_item)?_uri" or "definition_uri" over "external_uri" (which I think is vague as to the purpose) |
| [14:52:03] | <symbioquine[m]> | That said, it's not terrible... just harder for anybody to reason about the intent of data placed in that field. |
| [14:52:39] | <symbioquine[m]> | You start needing to look at the value and guess or make assumptions based on the overall conventions of the farmOS instance. |
| [15:01:38] | <mstenta[m]> | That is the main drawback, agreed. |
| [15:03:07] | <mstenta[m]> | flexibility vs specificity |
| [15:03:23] | <symbioquine[m]> | <paul121[m]> "While it is correct to say "URI"..." <- That's cool! Probably a good idea to use those where available... |
| [15:04:40] | <symbioquine[m]> | But I'd argue against making that codified into the feature since there isn't a guarantee that a given URI destination provides a stable compact version |
| [15:04:57] | <symbioquine[m]> | They should, but I wouldn't want to make it a prerequisite. |
