That is a kind of a profile of UML. Phil: statements are about SHACL shapes. Problem is in the different meanings of "class". Have to abide by underlying vocabulary definitions. "Light-weight ontology" for them is OWL lite. But also "can't cherry pick". * john: DDI cross-domain specification has UML as 'truth' * phil: problem with UML is it is closely aligned with object-oriented programming. DCTAP could be the single source of truth. esp. because doesn't use symbols * Review [bits](https://hackmd.io/8mgSE3UfTwCMoJ49Yl9IVw) for web site * Nishad: drop-down not needed; it will be under /specifications * group is application profiles, product is DCTAP * two short documents were completed during meeting * * Longer [web site page](https://hackmd.io/qpBNn0dbR_ypypgLHX4BYw) * Tom: put name of document first in bullet points * nishad: add a tsv starter file ACTION: remove dctap.ttl since we aren't doing a vocabulary (kc to put in her own repo) Phil: extended TAP template - will move to tap to shacl.
