  • Dropping Python 2 & 3.4 (maintainers)
  • Move Store API to work with identifiers (Boris, GreatYYX, Nick)
  • Namespace object inheritance (Harold, Nick)
  • RDF*/SPARQL* support (Jerven, Olaf, Sharzad, MArc-Antoine, maintainers)
  • HDT Support (Thomas)
  • plugin discovery causes very bad startup time (?)
  • Blank Node collisions (Natanael)
  • RDFlib Exception Hierarchy (?)
  • Make FunOwl available as a plugin (Harold, Danial)
  • Streaming parsers (?)
    • Streaming writers (Jerven, Boris)
  • Creating a stable core, with many satellite plugins (Maintainers)

New targets raised in meeting:

  • Harold: pyLD v. rdflib-jsonld
    • Ashley - no merger plans
    • Marc - used previous pyLD
    • Harold: let's talk with pyLD maintainers... (Harold will do via JSON-LD WG)
    • Rob: current rdflib-jsonld not satisfactory
  • pyShEx
    • Nick will create an RDFlib repo for this
  • SPARQL Slurper
    • should this come into RDFlib? (Harold to raise an issue)
  • Canonicalisation of graphs - related to Blank Node collisions (Harold to talk to Natanael)
  • Documentation (Nick)
  1. Likely timelines for 6.0.0
  • Nick: my impression is that expected timelines for 6.0.0 are not too much changed by this meeting since no new, extraordinary, work items have been raised. I do suggest an expected 6.0.0 release small shift to end of July (from end of June).
  • Nick: I expect that RDF* work will be the largest item
    • Jerven: the work is decision based, not many work hours-based
    • Nick: we will arrange meetings for RDF* involved people shortly then to make those decisions happen
  1. Future meeting schedule
  • maintainers meeting times to be advertised (on rdflib-dev) and times polled for
  1. Next meeting
  • maintainers set for 7th May but time will be polled for
  • RDF* meeting to be separate to that
  1. General Business No other items
