GitHub Repository Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to create and publish this repository to your GitHub account.

Step 1: Create Repository on GitHub

  1. Go to https://github.com/new
  2. Repository name: meeting-transcript-ontology
  3. Description: "A comprehensive SHACL 1.2 ontology for converting meeting transcriptions into structured RDF knowledge graphs"
  4. Choose: Public (or Private if you prefer)
  5. DO NOT initialize with README, .gitignore, or license (we already have these)
  6. Click "Create repository"

Step 2: Initialize Local Repository

Open your terminal and navigate to the project directory, then run:

cd /path/to/meeting-transcript-ontology

# Initialize git repository
git init

# Add all files
git add .

# Create initial commit
git commit -m "Initial commit: Meeting Transcript Ontology with SHACL 1.2"

# Rename branch to main (if needed)
git branch -M main

Step 3: Connect to GitHub

Replace [your-username] with your actual GitHub username:

git remote add origin https://github.com/[your-username]/meeting-transcript-ontology.git

# Or if you use SSH:
git remote add origin git@github.com:[your-username]/meeting-transcript-ontology.git

Step 4: Push to GitHub

git push -u origin main

You may be prompted for your GitHub credentials. If you have 2FA enabled, you'll need to use a Personal Access Token instead of your password.

Step 5: Add Topics (Optional but Recommended)

On your GitHub repository page:

  1. Click the gear icon next to "About"
  2. Add topics: semantic-web, rdf, shacl, knowledge-graph, ontology, meeting-intelligence, sparql, rdf-star, context-graphs, decision-tracking
  3. Click "Save changes"

Step 6: Enable GitHub Pages (Optional)

To publish documentation:

  1. Go to Settings → Pages
  2. Source: Deploy from a branch
  3. Branch: main, folder: /docs
  4. Click "Save"

Your documentation will be available at: https://[your-username].github.io/meeting-transcript-ontology/

Step 7: Create Initial Release (Optional)

  1. Go to Releases → "Create a new release"
  2. Tag: v1.0.0
  3. Title: "Initial Release: Meeting Transcript Ontology v1.0.0"
  4. Description: 
    First stable release of the Meeting Transcript Ontology

Features:
- Complete SHACL 1.2 ontology for meeting transcriptions
- 11 core classes with comprehensive properties

See README.md for full documentation.
  5. Click "Publish release"

Common Issues

Authentication Failed

If you get authentication errors:

  1. Generate a Personal Access Token: GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic)

  1. Check your SSH key is added to GitHub: Settings → SSH and GPG keys
  2. Test connection: ssh -T git@github.com

Large Files Warning

git lfs install
git lfs track "*.mp4"  # example for video files
git add .gitattributes

Next Steps After Publishing

  1. Add to your blog post - Include the GitHub link in your Context Graphs blog post
  2. Share on social media - Twitter/LinkedIn with hashtags: #SemanticWeb #KnowledgeGraphs #RDF
  3. Submit to awesome lists - Consider submitting to awesome-semantic-web lists
  4. Enable discussions - Settings → Features → Enable Discussions for community engagement

Maintenance
