None.

Discussion Topics

• Assignments to unassigned to-do issues
• Final issues to triage
  • Issue #800: Add predicate isSpecifiedBy
    • We've agreed that we want this, the question is its scope: should it be limited to specifications or more general?

    • See related: Issue # 1245: Disjointness of IntellectualProperty and PhysicalIdentifiableItem.
