07:48:53 Users on #swade: logger_1 dajobe-lap danbri_dna danbri CaptSolo Wack
07:50:09 <dajobe-lap> hello
07:50:31 * danbri_dna waves
08:19:14 <afs> afs is now known as AndyS
08:25:57 <dajobe-lap> bnoide introduction for datatypes - 2
08:26:04 <dajobe-lap> infinte containership member props - 3
08:26:08 <dajobe-lap> ^- daveR
08:26:41 <dajobe-lap> jeen - mt is a formal spec of the semantics
08:26:57 <dajobe-lap> assumed section on entailment rules was a reflection of the mt
08:27:16 <dajobe-lap> why is bnode intro etc. in there. may be connect, but not useful
08:27:28 * dajobe-lap asks for volunteer typers
08:27:40 <dajobe-lap> daver - rules are informative not normative
08:28:29 <dajobe-lap> swh: (earlier) we aren't going to implement the 'obscure' things
08:29:21 <dajobe-lap> frankh - datatypes, who's not planning to impl them?
08:30:06 <dajobe-lap> alberto plan to use them for search and a little bit of inferencing, espec for geo stuff
08:30:30 <dajobe-lap> playing with the first level stuff near rdql support for dtypes in queries
08:31:42 <dajobe-lap> arjon - sesame ... support for numeric, booleans, ..
08:31:50 <dajobe-lap> .. support is comparison operators
08:32:08 <dajobe-lap> .. that appear in SeRQL
08:32:40 <dajobe-lap> jeen - datatype entailment in the spec is solved by our parser
08:32:45 <dajobe-lap> such as rdfD2
08:33:02 <dajobe-lap> frankv - litertals wit h xsd, store normalsied value in the databse
08:33:54 <dajobe-lap> db - asks jena about int in jena
08:34:02 <dajobe-lap> DaveR - ints in schema
08:34:08 <dajobe-lap> subclassling?
08:34:10 <dajobe-lap> xml datatypes?
08:34:28 <dajobe-lap> alberto - ideas uscing xml
08:36:32 <dajobe-lap> instance datatypes implementation not always available, but the parsing side of things can be found in xerces
08:36:54 <dajobe-lap> users want datatypes in & out at the java level
08:37:08 <dajobe-lap> don't want to do the datatype subclassing, at least so far - DaveR
08:37:33 <dajobe-lap> comparison internal to the datatypes
08:37:44 <dajobe-lap> arjon - received requests for integer comaprion ops, dates
08:37:57 <dajobe-lap> daver - just the xsd builtins
08:38:20 <dajobe-lap> ... in xsd you can define user defined but rdf can't use them since they have no uris
08:39:23 * nmg wondered why noone was on #swad-e
08:39:47 * AndyS did the same yesterday!
08:39:53 <dajobe-lap> arjon 0- domain and range restr?
08:40:29 <dajobe-lap> ... checking & rejecting things
08:41:04 <dajobe-lap> daver - you can have a violation here, the only place in rdfs you can
08:41:14 <dajobe-lap> .. bit of api that says validate()(
08:41:35 <dajobe-lap> swh: we just try an accept it in those cases
08:41:51 <dajobe-lap> .. we do fail a couple
08:41:56 <dajobe-lap> daver - whitespace thing?
08:42:15 <dajobe-lap> .. should reject ' 10.0 ' as an invalid xsd:integer
08:42:47 <dajobe-lap> arjon - we do it 'prpoerly' :)
08:43:59 <dajobe-lap> .. we don't have a parser input switch for this, but do trim on output
08:44:20 <dajobe-lap> jeen - ignore, normalise and validate 3-way switch
08:47:33 <AndyS>http://db.bell-labs.com/galax/
08:49:22 <AndyS> RDF+Xquery: WWW2003 BOF: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-rules/2003May/0020.html
08:53:03 <dajobe-lap> discussion of OWL bits
08:53:17 <dajobe-lap> owl tiny - transitive, symmetric, inverseof, sameas, different from, IFP, FP
08:53:24 <dajobe-lap> soton - plan to do the above
08:53:33 <dajobe-lap> advantages - no class defns, no restrictions
08:53:45 <dajobe-lap> discssuion of sameas and diff frmo for classes or instances, some or ther other
08:54:04 * dajobe-lap needs volunteer to scribe
08:54:38 <dajobe-lap> daver - the owl lite fragment of owl full
08:54:43 <dajobe-lap> ... you an have clases as instances
08:54:54 <dajobe-lap> not just parse but infer, sound but not complete
08:55:16 <dajobe-lap> .. two extensions - havehasvalue rules forwads and backwards
08:55:29 <dajobe-lap> haveValue - a restriction this property has that value
08:56:06 <dajobe-lap> horrible interactions when you have inverseOf
08:56:30 <dajobe-lap> 2nd extension was for cardinality constraints beyond 1
08:56:47 <dajobe-lap> i..e how many property values an instance has
08:56:55 <dajobe-lap> ... owl lite has 0, 1
08:56:58 <dajobe-lap> ^- frank
08:59:01 <dajobe-lap> gets hard with eqaulity in combination
08:59:37 <dajobe-lap> daver - reqeuest was for validating of datatype properties, needed >1 cardinality restrictions
08:59:58 <dajobe-lap> ... 2 sets of users - logiicans ndpeople using it as a near-schema validation language
09:02:08 <dajobe-lap> owl lite
09:02:18 <dajobe-lap> no big pressures for some/all values from to implement it
09:28:57 <dajobe-lap> owl discussion, no record
09:49:32 * nmg scribes
09:50:05 <nmg> dajobe: session concentrating on query languages rather than APIs
09:50:40 <nmg> dajobe: libby found > 12 rdf query languages
09:50:55 <nmg> dajobe: use cases for query as part of swad-e
09:51:33 <nmg> alberto: bof at sardinia (iswc) for query, delivered page of use cases (uri someone?)
09:52:00 <jeen>http://rdfstore.sourceforge.net
09:52:29 <arjohn>http://rdfstore.sourceforge.net/2002/06/24/rdf-query/query-use-cases.html
09:52:31 <nmg> alberto: comparison of query languages as well
09:52:42 <nmg> (thanks, arjohn)
09:52:47 <arjohn> ^^ query use cases by Andy and Alberto
09:53:44 <nmg> alberto: agreement on basics - conjunctive queries, constraints, context/provenance
09:55:24 <nmg> alberto: use acse page gives syntax comparison for queries in different QLs (also, return formats)
09:56:29 <arjohn>http://www.w3.org/2003/03/rdfqr-tests/recording-query-results.html
09:56:42 <nmg> alberto: continuation of effort through series of irc meetings
09:57:21 <libby> http://www.w3.org/2003/03/rdfqr-tests/ - query test data
09:57:30 <nmg> alberto: meeting at www2003 in budapest, feed into proposals for rdf query wg
09:58:13 <nmg> alberto: (our) trend for query langs is sql-friendly
09:58:27 <nmg> (lot of background noise :( )
10:00:13 <nmg> jeen/arjohn: (on SeRQL) main inputs for defn were other rdf query languages - didn't explicitly look at sql
10:00:32 <nmg> jeen: oql was an influence
10:00:38 <alberto> for tests see http://swordfish.rdfweb.org/rdfquery/tests/
10:00:44 <arjohn> SeRQL user manual: http://sesame.aidministrator.nl/publications/SeRQLmanual.html
10:00:45 <nmg> thanks
10:01:25 <dirkx> The reason for using RDQL is two fold - reuse the exisitng knowledge at the developer and reusre existing ODBC and JDBC infrastructure - and be able to exploit a lot of 'extra's in the SQL world (transactions, views, what not).
10:01:48 <nmg> dajobe: recursive queries and compositionality (cf. SeRQL CONSTRUCT)
10:01:57 <dirkx> Plus of course - you are overwhelming the developer/customer already with this totally new RDF thing - so going careful on the query is something to be considered.
10:02:11 <swh> dirkx: agreed
10:02:46 <nmg> dajobe: also, path-based query languages
10:02:47 <alberto> see also http://sourceforge.net/projects/rdftests for RDF (query) tests Web site - still empty :)
10:03:22 <nmg> libby: eg. damien steer's treehugger, also work by sbp and graham klyne. XPath-like syntax for RDF query
10:03:54 <nmg> dajobe: (query spec'd as path through a graph)
10:04:07 <dirkx> dirkx is now known as Dirk-Willem
10:04:32 <nmg> alberto: mapping between rdql and ath queries quite clear
10:05:21 <nmg> alberto: xpath can fit on rdql
10:05:55 <nmg> andys: generating webpages from rdf is an important (future) use case
10:06:10 <nmg> arjonh: some work from CWI on this, augmenting XSLT
10:06:45 <jeen> that work is part of the Cuypers project
10:07:24 <nmg> dajobe: graph stylesheet proposals as well (GSS)
10:08:04 <nmg> dajobe: query over XML in literals using XPath, in addition to making queries look 'XPath friendly'
10:08:15 <AndyS>http://homepages.cwi.nl/~media/cuypers/
10:08:19 <jeen> ta
10:09:12 <nmg> andys: different query syntaxes support differnet usecases (in response to comment from zool)
10:10:04 <dirkx> And I guess an implementors lesson is - be careful with the special chars <, ?, # which are hard to escape in URI's or carry certain semantics outside the SemWeb world
10:10:11 <nmg> andys: path expressions subset of graph matching, syntaxes for each of these uses
10:10:38 <nmg> dajobe: XML syntax not primary goal, cf. XPath/XQuery
10:11:03 <nmg> dajobe: again, compositionality (RDF output from queries)
10:11:12 <AndyS> XML syntax for XQuery (not supporrted by Galax) : http://www.w3.org/TR/xqueryx
10:11:24 <nmg> dajobe: modularity an issue too
10:11:51 <nmg> swh: if native language is acceptable, can translate other syntaxes into it
10:12:42 <nmg> libby: what we did for usecases - small subset of functionality in rdf, then map to specific syntaxes
10:13:11 <nmg> swh: difficult bits - substrings matching, quads...
10:14:13 <nmg> dirkx: first step in rdql often good enough, later move to more expressive languages
10:14:39 <nmg> dirkx: 80% of problem with 20% (rdql)
10:15:12 <nmg> andys: compactness of queries, wrt to namespace declarations
10:16:18 <nmg> swh: defining standard nss helps here
10:16:30 <nmg> dirkx: or add level of indirection
10:16:44 <nmg> swh: stateful protocol to set these things up in advance?
10:17:28 <swh> [not serious suggestion]
10:17:33 <dirkx> :-)
10:17:35 <nmg> :)
10:17:44 <AndyS> dirkx: Have reference to apoplication profiles which
10:17:55 <AndyS> have sets of common prefixes
10:18:43 <nmg> (discussion of changes to namespaces - dc given as example of one which has)
10:19:11 <nmg> dajobe: contexts and grouping in queries - is this imprtant for query languages?
10:19:29 <nmg> andys: shouldn't be a query-only solution
10:19:38 <dirkx> Applications MAY define certain namespaces but MUST override those when they are re-defined in the USING block.
10:19:53 <nmg> libby: queries over multiple models?
10:21:11 <nmg> alberto: fourth component in triple (quad) may be against rdf model, but it is useful
10:21:24 <nmg> swh: just a way of collecting triples
10:22:21 <alberto> are SQL views outside the original SQL model? :)
10:22:24 <dirkx> Note to self: Also discuss return set format: RDF/triples, a table, defined at query time, negotiable.
10:23:24 <alberto> I mean, as soon as you move down to real-world data sets and application you need to find/make compromises to make your software working
10:23:52 <nmg> (discussion about use of contexts in queries, 3store as example, scribe fails to capture what he said himself)
10:24:32 <nmg> dajobe: need use cases for these to give a basis for discussion about what contexts are in the context of queries
10:25:24 <nmg> arjohn: needs not be in query itself, but in context' of query
10:26:19 * AndyS agrees with dirk's suggestion
10:29:36 <nmg> (again, more discussion about nature of contexts in the 3store view - as resources corresponding to the (rdf/xml) files in which triples appear - that the scribe fails to properly record)
10:30:20 <nmg> dajobe: relation between querying and inferencing - "evaluate this query assuming RDFS semantics"
10:31:29 <nmg> dajobe,dirkx: a priori (service) description of capabilities of query engines
10:32:06 <nmg> dirkx: commonality between return formats - table of bindings versus graph
10:32:16 <nmg> jeen: resultset format has been defined
10:32:41 <AndyS>http://www.w3.org/2003/03/rdfqr-tests/recording-query-results.html
10:32:45 <nmg> dirkx: future interoperability wrt soap/wsdl?
10:32:52 <nmg> thanks, andys
10:33:43 <nmg> dirkx: lessons to be learned from odbc/jdbc
10:34:27 <nmg> andys, could you list those options for return formats here?
10:34:59 <dirkx> Main ODBC/JDBC nightmare; Its an API - not a protoocl; so your -client- needs to have libraries for each vendor you talk to. And your firewall needs to understand proprietary protocols.

10:35:38 * AndyS has cut and paster error
10:36:20 <nmg> dajobe: access protocols
10:36:36 <nmg> andys: semantic web server written by graham moore - soap interface to rdf store
10:36:52 <nmg> andys: addresses how to access large rdf stores remotely
10:37:01 <dirkx> 2: results: driven by the select (?foo,?bar) and in that order - or 'declared' in a header prefix of the reply..
10:37:05 <nmg> andys: query is natural paradigm for accessing
10:37:09 <arjohn>http://www.w3.org/Submission/2003/SUBM-rdf-netapi-20031002/
10:37:55 <nmg> andys: rdf netapi submitted to w3c
10:38:25 <nmg> andys: query language is triple with holes in
10:38:37 <nmg> andys: maps onto existing toolkits
10:41:13 <nmg> zool: service description issues wrt query languages
10:41:43 <nmg> andys: different interfaces for different query languages?
10:45:00 <jeen> nmg: marta sabou has been working on web service descriptions of things like Sesame
10:45:58 <jeen> (paper about it on ISWC'03)
10:48:31 <nmg> (service discovery, brokerage, matchmaking, service choreography and composition)
10:49:57 <arjohn> Paper by Marta c.s.: http://www.cs.vu.nl/~marta/papers/iswc_paper56.pdf
10:51:52 <nmg> (semantic web services - DAML Services (-> OWL-S), SWSI (Semantic Web Services Initiative?))
10:53:17 <nmg> andys: jim hendler's message on rdf query, focussed query wg to reduce barrier to providing access to sw data
10:54:06 <nmg> andys: straw poll on interest in wg on access protocols?
10:54:45 <nmg> dirkx: syntax of query
10:55:02 <alberto> we are definitively interested also in access protocols - but something easy/small to implement i.e. DNS like
10:55:52 <nmg> andys: reqs for language important, since some features may present implementation issues (< constraints on integers, eg)
10:57:48 <dirkx> Next trains: 04, 16, 28, 34, 46 and 58
12:08:14 * zool volunteers
12:08:30 <zool> dajobe: what kind of sw related web serviecs might we want
12:08:45 <zool> and what kind of protcols they might use - looking up to OWL-S etc
12:08:54 <zool> mars needs use cases
12:09:07 <zool> ontology mapping...
12:09:33 <zool> (mapping translation inside an ontomatic sort of thing)
12:10:01 * zool wonders what use it all is
12:10:10 <zool> transform the data or translate the query
12:10:21 <zool> (arjohn)
12:10:43 <zool> jeen describes something that sounds like p2p negotiation between ontologies
12:10:56 <zool> "mapping the terms in the query to terms in your own framework"
12:11:21 <zool> thesaurus services
12:11:39 <zool> multilingual concept maps - fuzzy
12:11:59 <zool> similarly with classification schemes
12:12:34 <zool> DW: query expanders, e.g. oil spill gives you subtypes which add more properties
12:13:03 <zool> request-reply interaction... an interactive reasoning process
12:13:12 <zool> (is that either or)
12:13:51 <zool> dajobe: a reasoning service
12:14:14 <zool> like jenas plugin reasoner api - expose each one as a web service
12:14:21 <zool> rules engines, trust, up the stack
12:14:26 <zool> or not at all
12:14:57 <zool> (you'd need to have trust in all these inference engines like in aggregators)
12:15:29 <zool> making up hypothetical web services
12:15:55 <zool> DW: a 'trust expander' a common kind of reasoner in industrial banking apps
12:16:05 <zool> (like credit refernce expert systems?)
12:16:22 <zool> and business rules related stuff
12:17:05 <zool> auditing
12:17:38 <zool> dajobe - library service models or at least component models
12:17:49 <zool> 'wandering round a remote conceptual map' service
12:18:14 <zool> frank - remote 'concept explosion' services
12:18:25 <zool> pathfinders
12:18:41 <zool> (but couldnt that be also subsumed in a QL as dajobe is now pointing out)
12:19:07 <zool> frank - including rdfs semantics in pathfinding - sounds more like the prolog appserver
12:19:26 <zool> steve - akt OKBC/WS work
12:19:45 <zool> effetcively dropped now in favour of sending RDQL
12:20:11 <zool> thats a trend that's interesting to note, says dajobe
12:20:44 <zool> arjohn mentions the sesame client library
12:21:10 <zool> visualisation services
12:21:17 <zool> dajobe thinks this is out of our terrain
12:22:19 <zool> arguments over naviagting graphs from ontologies
12:22:26 <zool> is this something users want access to
12:22:50 <zool> users are keen on using the browsing software in 3store
12:23:07 * zool keen to steal this browsing software
12:25:14 <zool>http://triplestore.aktors.org
12:25:32 <zool> oh it's a frame-based (html) browser
12:26:08 <zool> shows co-referent sameAs instances at the top, with the union of all their properties
12:26:15 <zool> extract provenance
12:28:14 <zool> dajobe: "there are some times when you do want to look at the graph"

12:36:14 <libby> darn
12:36:20 <dirkx> Ta
12:36:27 <dirkx> Now all we need is a pen.
12:36:29 <libby> # Internet, Web and Open Source developer communities # Academic and Research Community # Content and Tool Producers # Industry and Commerce
12:36:33 <libby> one or more of those.
12:36:36 <eikeon> :)
12:36:47 <libby> thanks very much and sorry to be a nuisance!
12:38:20 <zool> stabnards for WS descriptions
12:38:32 <zool> even simple ones to do with use of utf8 etc
12:39:20 <zool> dajobe on language agnosticism and impossiblity of giving good advice
12:39:30 <zool> pointing people at web services might help
12:39:44 <zool> jeen - do we need a common underlying API for the tools
12:39:54 <zool> or are the abstractions higher up
12:40:22 <zool> overlapping and inter-seeding between jena, sesame etc
12:40:59 <zool> jena gives the impression of activity, sesame has more mature schema support
12:41:08 <zool> (dajobe)
12:41:30 <zool> kaon [sp?] switched to sesame
12:42:17 <zool> DW/frank, this seems to be an argument for a common abstraction layer
12:42:24 <zool> whether that's at the model interface
12:42:38 <zool> or at a http one...
12:43:11 <zool> jeen: you want to be able to run everything local and standalone.; this argues against a common interface being http based
12:43:52 <zool> DW: "you are already postulating there there is a common language style API... which could also function over a netwrok" : ideally, both
12:44:42 <zool> arjohn: SOAP, RMI and HTTP supported; the latter the most lightweight
12:44:54 <zool> ('less marshalling and unmarshalling'- dajobe)
12:44:56 <zool> we like http
12:45:33 * libby loves http
12:45:46 <swh> yay http
12:45:49 <libby> !wn sesame
12:45:49 <whwhwhwh> East Indian annual erect herb; source of sesame seed or benniseed and sesame oil
12:45:55 <libby> !wn sesame-2
12:45:55 <whwhwhwh> no results found, sorry
12:46:15 <dirkx> Dirks lovs http so much that there is a bit of despair creeping in...
12:46:30 <libby> aw
12:47:00 <zool> dajobe talking abotu similar cross-lang API
12:47:19 <zool> the core spec is basically sitting in this room
12:47:29 <dirkx> Get-if-Modified, Byterange, 30x redirect, Keep-Alive, Pragma: close, E-Tag, Accept header - and all of a sudden http is stateful and things like firewalls, proxies and content delivery netweork start fiddling with your payload en-route.
12:47:38 <zool> but too much cross-language consistency isn't a fruitful expectation suggests jan
12:48:31 <zool> overengineering in the DOM api a cautionary lesson - daniel / arjohn
12:49:33 <zool> essential simplicity of RDF / divergence of different peoples data manipulation extensions
12:49:51 <zool> sesame+jena some api convergence in motion
12:50:22 <zool> isn't it easy to emulate the one on top of the other, suggests jan cheerfullly
12:50:48 <zool> not just API mapping but translation between object types in the respective APIs
12:51:29 <zool> "some sort of graph algebra", common modelling of data perhaps
12:51:34 <zool> inside out
12:52:17 <zool> most of the APIs are all triple-y says dajobe
12:52:38 <zool> also a node-centric approach, walking along the arcs, rather than between the conceptual triples
12:53:34 <zool> graph pathfinding traversal in jena - sesame ppl would like it to be in a separate package - perhaps both could slowly modularise towards fusion
12:53:57 <zool> can you get partial graphs from a node oriented API asks dajobe
12:54:35 <zool> after you add the first node you have to connect new ones with an arc to something
12:54:46 <zool> 3store only does triples, redland does both
12:55:01 <zool> "where is that node, it should be in a graph"
12:55:37 <zool> steve: a sideeffect of context is to cause the model to have nodes that arent in the graph, momentarily
12:56:26 <zool> jena's OWL api using the triple API...
12:56:47 <zool> jeen in planning to implement this in sesame rsn
12:57:24 <jeen> that's Sean Bechhofer's OWL api, not Jena's.
12:57:33 <zool> ah okay sorry
12:57:38 <jeen> np :)
12:58:00 <zool> nmg pulls a funny face
12:58:29 <nmg> I did?
12:58:57 <zool> arjohn: generating statements upon statements, or geenrating rdf/xml data and importing it
12:59:10 <zool> or both
12:59:40 <zool> which of these tactics should we recommend asks dajobe - the triple api seems intuitive but is easy to get lost in
13:01:05 <zool> oops
13:01:29 <zool> jeen talks about people finding migration to and fro jena pretty straightforward
13:02:18 <zool> frank wants to define the shape of our fuzzy cloud of knowledge currently assembled
13:03:02 * zool doesnt write down what dajobe just said
13:03:23 <zool> kevin wants portability per store
13:03:41 <zool> debate tending towards complete standardisation or complete translatability
13:04:07 <zool> also code maturity / bitrot concerns (DW)
13:04:35 <zool> "this is a healthy ecosystem"
13:04:55 <dirkx> Healthy ecosystem - or are they still duking it out and should I wait a wee bit longer for things to stabilize. (And be 'safe').
13:05:11 <zool> arjohn: modularisation of code, model, parser, storage, query, suggesting
13:05:42 <zool> i suppose we are still duking it out
13:06:00 <zool> we might be running out of things to say
13:06:14 <libby> Jan grant's framework: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe/reports/rdf_api_comparison_report/
13:06:36 <zool> comparative overview would be interesting
13:07:06 <zool> describing web services in daml-s or owl-s again
13:25:03 <dirkx-apache-org> dirkx-apache-org is now known as dirkx
13:25:15 <jeen> marta: trying to identify common operations in several RDF tool APIs
13:25:30 <jeen> marta: four basic types of operations
13:25:53 <jeen> query, remove, retrieve, add
13:27:04 <jeen> comparison visualization of overlap between Jena, Sesame, KAON

13:36:12 <eikeon_> eikeon_ is now known as eikeon
13:36:36 <zool_> zool_ is now known as zool
13:38:16 <zool> OWL is now in PR we are hearing
13:38:28 <zool> "target date is dec 9"
13:38:31 <zool> rdf core is soon
13:49:05 <zool> w3 gossip that i'm too lazy to transcribe
13:49:18 <nmg> :)
13:49:19 <zool> what's missing, what's next, esp in re SWAD
13:49:37 <zool> more workshops - i10n and accessibility
13:49:49 <zool> xml-europe topic maps bake-off
13:50:20 <zool> more calendaring work driven by libby
13:50:26 <zool> leading up to www2004
