<DanC_> minutes 30 May

DC/VQ: we could have done better with the TOC of 30 May minutes....

DC: but they're close enough

RESOLUTION: to accept minutes 30 May

agenda review

(wondering what became of my action to contact Misha; ah... it's there... http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/actions_owner.html#DC )

<scribe> ACTION: DanC to Contact Misha to follow up on f2f discussion on CURIEs at AC meeting [CONTINUES] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/06/06-tagmem-irc]

HT: on urns/registries... agenda+ please

VQ: ok

f2f meeting next week

<DanC_> [DRAFT] Agenda of TAG face-to-face meeting, 12-14 June 2006, Amherst, MA, USA

VQ: meant to make more progress on the agenda...
... ETA tomorrow afternoon France time

NDW: [confirms lots of logistics]

DC: phone times?

VQ: we have all day 9-5 reserved all 3 days
... yes, we'll do the stuff most interesting to tlr on Tue AM

Repositories vs. web pages

<DanC_> The MWI device repository, tbl to www-tag 3 May

TimBL: if it's multiple repositories, that's one thing, but if it's one repository, I have more concerns
... it's not clear to me why phone data isn't just published by the manufacturers 1st hand.
... is this a case where a central iana-style registry is merited?

HT: I see "logical" repository in the abstract; maybe it's federated?

(the doc says "The Device Vendor makes available and maintains for accuracy device descriptions for public usage, e.g. by Content Providers." )

DanC: the doc says "The Device Vendor makes available and maintains for accuracy device descriptions for public usage, e.g. by Content Providers." that seems OK to me. I have also heard strange things about reluctance on the part of device vendors, but if that's the plan of record, it's OK by me

Noah: there's a spectrum of centralization... on the one hand, IANA-like centralized, and on the other RDDL, which is a format that anybody can use anywhere in the web

<timbl> 2.1.5: 4. Using the identity of the device the Content Provider queries the DDR to determine one or more capabilities supported by the device.

<timbl> http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-DDR-requirements-20060410/#iddiv3233209928

<DanC_> (ok, 2.1.5 Normal Flow is the sort of thing that merits review.)

TimBL: perhaps due to OEM rebranding etc., the business of building phones is disconnected from the business of running web sites about phones

<Zakim> timbl, you wanted to ask whether this (2.1.5) should be SPARQL.

DO: why would the TAG say SPARQL as opposed to SOAP or WSDL?
... why not XQuery?

TimBL: SPARQL includes an HTTP/URI-based protocol

DanC: somebody in the SPARQL WG (DAWG) already has an action to look at this [I'm pretty sure]

DO: isn't SPARQL more detailed than the level of thing the TAG advocates?

TimBL: I regard SPARQL as pretty generic

NM: I think it's appropriate to advocate using existing standards; if they're re-inventing existing stuff, we should be concerned, but they should choose the best fit for their needs.

[er... something like that.]

TimBL: perhaps they've got a fixed schema for which XML Schema/XQuery are a good match...
... but if their schema is "object/property/value", then that's reinventing RDF.

VQ: I'm not sure about the current work, but CC/PP data was in RDF at one point...

TimBL: yes, the original architecture was pretty good, until they hit this social issue of device vendors running web sites

VQ: so... back to the one repository/many... how shall we proceed?

DC: invite somebody from that group to explain it to us? that's most convenient for me.

<scribe> ACTION: VQ to invite a DD WG person to a TAG meeting to discuss DDR requirements [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/06/06-tagmem-irc]

New issue? State in Web application design

DO: no strong preference

DC: feels like two or three issues, to me... but I'm not clear on what they are, so I'm OK to just muddle along for a bit

DO: if it's to be a new issue, let's make it a short one [?] like versioning

NM: actually, I think the finding is suffering from that sort of broad approach, as I said in my comments

VQ: there doesn't seem to be a critical mass of sentiment in any particular direction; we'll have more data after the current round of reviews.

URNsAndRegistries-50

<ht> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/URNsAndRegistries-50.html#authority

HT: I expect to send mail calling for review tomorrow.
... I'd like ftf time to finish it.
... I persued the idea of an http/dns alternative to info: ... and in fact http://lccn.info/2002022641 is live.

VQ: note "reviewing URNs, Namespaces and Registries -- reviewers: DanC, Ed" -- http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2006/06/12-agenda.html

HT: so review should please wait just one more day

NM: my attempts to have for the F2F a new draft of metaDatainURI-31 continues to be at risk.

<noah> metaDatainURI-31

ADJOURN.

<Norm> See you all in six days! :-)
