Issue XMLVersioning-41

SKW: withdraw 2 and continue 3 actions?

<DanC_> DaveO RE: versioning definitions...

discussing ACTION: DC accepted on 8 Aug 2006 Review definitions of partial understanding, backward compatible, and forward compatible.

DanC made progress 21 May http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2007May/0040.html

DO: I answered that...

<Stuart> " Indeed. All 3 reviewers have asked this key question. How about "I1 is

<Stuart> compatible with I2 if all of the information in I1 does not replace or

<Stuart> contradict any information in I2."

DanC: sounds like "consistent"
... I'll have to think about it.

<scribe> ACTION: DC Review definitions of partial understanding, backward compatible, and forward compatible. [CONTINUES] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2007/07/09-tagmem-minutes#action01]

DaveO: ... now text-set has a [different relationship] to syntax...
... I changed the diagram.

DaveO reviews changes... faster than the scribe can summarize

DaveO: the reviewers seemed to catch many of the same things

<Zakim> DanC, you wanted to ask about diagram source

DaveO: yes, I checked in .violet v6
... note violet has been updated; it's an eclipse plug-in. quite convenient since I use eclipse for W3C spec editing

<dorchard> I just checked in the .violet v6..

SKW: [something from a recent review message...]

ball seems to be with NDW on XML strategies

<scribe> ACTION: SKW complete review of terminology section of of 4 July versioning draft [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2007/07/09-tagmem-minutes#action02]

<trackbot-ng> Sorry, couldn't find user - SKW

DaveO: I addressed a bunch of "add a link here" editorial comments on the strategies stuff...

<DanC_> section 2.2.2 Forwards Compatible

DaveO: section 6, case studies, is now one table. (http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/versioning-strategies-20070704.html#iddiv194353056 )
... there's a new strategy 2.5 "some go in a new namespace, some go in an existing namespace"
... to capture the pattern where [something about ##any and ##other]
... I also mentioned XSLT [i.e. its versioning policy?]

<dorchard> XSLT documents versioning, not versioning XSLT itself from XSLT 2.0 to >2.0.

SKW: a process question... should we aim for last call on this material?

DanC: umm... sounds good... last call after review of peer groups such as HTML

DaveO: yeah, HTML, XML Schema, XML Core

raman: and CSS, and XHTML 2

DanC: yes, I'd like to think more about the CSS versioning strategy

NDW: yes, I'm working on reviewing "strategies" and the XML part

<scribe> ACTION: NW Produce some information about NVDL for the finding. [CONTINUES] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2007/07/09-tagmem-minutes#action03]

NDW: by 23 July
... maybe some for the 16 July meeting

(trackbot groks due dates, but the scribe doesn't know how to get it to do it)

Issue httpRange-14

<scribe> ACTION: Stuart to review "Cool URIs for the Semantic Web" [DONE] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2007/07/09-tagmem-minutes#action04]

<DanC_> SKW on "Cool URIs for the Semantic Web"

<scribe> ACTION: Norm to review "Cool URIs for the Semantic Web" [WITHDRAWN] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2007/07/09-tagmem-minutes#action05]

DanC: SKW, any impact from your review on our httpRange-14 finding?

SKW: not really; there's stuff they suggest [in "Cool URIs for the Semantic Web"] as best practice that goes beyond what the TAG decided.
... OK, Dan, on to your formal description of webarch slides...

<Stuart> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/fdesc54/slides 2003/11/24

(scribe is hardly even trying to capture the discussion as he leads it)

DanC: HT's msg on terminology covers some of the same ground; it's just a few minutes/hours old...

<DanC_> HT on terminology

HT: in the case of the Oxaca weather report and [some common fairy tale scribe already forgot], the french and english have roughly the same relationship to the resource; not so for french and english versions of Moby Dick

DanC: is the question of whether the translation is authorized relevant?

HT: not really

SKW: ... generic resources finding relevant... ?

HT: only trivially. [?]
... english version of The Wasteland, by T. S. Eliot has special status. e.g. conneg...

<Zakim> dorchard, you wanted to mention that translations sometimes don't hold is in GEB as well, the example being russian book (can't remember which author) translation should perhaps be

DanC: this is _exactly_ the authorized translation question. In conneg, the publisher is making claims. if the publisher says, using conneg, "these are equivalent for my purposes", then they're equivalent for his/her purposes

DaveO: [scribe was totally behind and let himself get distracted]

<dorchard> translations sometimes don't hold is in GEB as well, the example being russian book (can't remember which author) translation should perhaps be Dickens

HST: The somewhat surprising tentative conclusion is that you can't be a responsible Webmaster until you've taken a position on the issue of "The nature of The Work of Art"

DanC walks through Frag Identifier Diagram

HST explains indexicals: "I'm right and you're wrong!"... a phase we can both locally agree because it means different things to both of us.

SKW: Dan, in your investigation, where does 303 come in?

DanC: it's sort of a noop, as far as knowledge exchange, in my thinking. Tim's idea that it constrains things is new to me; I'm still thinking about it

SKW: and Rhys, does this help with httpRange-14?

Rhys: I'm learning a lot about backgrounds that readers bring

SKW: is httpRange-14 a comfortable place for this discussion?

Raman: no, it's opaque

DanC: oops; you're right

Raman: webarch2?

SKW: terminology for webarch2?

DanC: that doesn't narrow it down; does that help? hmm... yes, let's noodle on this a bit

<scribe> ACTION: RL to revise Dereferencing HTTP URIs finding in response to F2F discussion. [CONTINUES] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2007/07/09-tagmem-minutes#action06]

On "Enabling Read Access for Web Resources"

SKW: I did one half of my action, contacting the chairs
... that's going well...

<DanC_> SKW to POWDER/WAF chairs

SKW: on technical comments, I wrote up the 2 we discussed and added several more based on reading and discussion; are those others better as TAG comments or as my own?

<Stuart> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2007Jul/0015.html

DanC: tactically, separate messages for separate subjects
... I don't know enough to endorse #6

DO: likewise; can't say yes nor no

SKW: OK, I'll send the ones we discussed (1 and 2) as from the TAG and the others personally

(Post) Summer 'Recess'

SKW: perhaps we did this last week, but just to be sure:

RESOLUTION: to cancel 23rd, 30th July and 6th Aug

SKW: if we're to meet 13 Aug, I need help with agenda prep; I'll just be returning from holiday.

a few others will be in a similar position

NDW: OK, I'll prepare an agenda (or cancellation notice) for 13 Aug

ADJOURN.
