14:49:50 [DanC]
(Jos the one thing that makes AND constraints special, to me, is that you can compute their negation in all cases.)
14:50:18 [db-scribe]
DaveB - having problems thinkng about these constraints as triples
14:50:45 [db-scribe]
ericP - maybe things you can't (easily) express as triples in the language
14:51:43 [db-scribe]
ericP - you could take sparql and turn it into n3 + ... and use xslt [?]
14:53:26 [AndyS]
I observe literals as subjects in Jos's examples
14:53:47 [AlbertoR]
we got some ical/RDF-cal samples using contraints into triple-patterns (e.g. dates comparinsons) - see http://demo.asemantics.com/zparqler/examples/example8.html
14:54:01 [db-scribe]
ACTION DaveB: sketch tests on operators as predicates (aka constraints as triples)

as operators and supported
14:57:00 [db-scribe]

EricP - spec does not recognise op:... in the triple pattern

AndyS - removed this from the spec
14:58:47 [AlbertoR]
I found it usefvul though (e.g. easier query optimization) - without processing the whole AND contraints clause

discussions of concrete syntax changes ongoing
15:05:52 [db-scribe]
discussions of syntax - where and how
15:07:45 [db-scribe]
rq23 9.1 has a bunch of FROM/WITH which probably need unifying to WITH
15:08:44 [AndyS]
Will check and fix ASAP
15:09:09 [AndyS]
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/rq23/#optionals
15:10:09 [db-scribe]
OPTIONAL and [] both allowed at present in rq23
15:10:29 [db-scribe]
AndyS preference for just OPTIONAL keyword
15:11:08 [AlbertoR]
would an optional block then be OPTIONAL { ...... } ?
15:11:19 [db-scribe]
sigh I see BASE still exists in the grammar only
15:11:25 [DanC]
typo "teh optional"
15:11:44 [SteveH]
typo in 5.1 "One the dat aabove, they return the query result:"
15:11:52 [kendall]

what's the status quo about BOUND today?
15:15:47 [kendall]
i can't find anything in 1.205...
15:16:06 [SteveH]
kendall, BOUND ?x v's BOUNT(?x) etc.
15:16:11 [db-scribe]
AndyS summarises current thoughts - delete [] for optiona,s kep AND, keep functions the same, keep BOUND(?x)
15:16:39 [DanC]
broken link "(see the bound test)."

steve - usesOntology unsure about the 'O' word

"vocabs used in that document"
15:19:47 [db-scribe]
might work for rdfs, but maybe not for owl which has a more formal defn
15:21:03 [db-scribe]
discussion of dawg:usesOntology - "does this thing know about foaf?"
15:21:11 [db-scribe]
or "understand" (handwave)
15:22:06 [db-scribe]
steve - useful but not particularly happy about this either hte predicate name or the semantics
15:22:57 [db-scribe]
could indirect via another node to allow multiple points to hang off the usesOntology, supprotsDataType
15:23:10 [db-scribe]
... so different interfaces/service access points
15:23:16 [AndyS]
+1 to Steve's point about some properties about the data not the service

Used in conjunction with optional, it can be used to test whether triple with a variable has been asserted.

daveb, good circularity!
16:57:31 [AndyS]
Changes to rq23 made - v1.209
17:27:07 [DanC]
ericp, andy, you are the only candidates for filling in as chair while I'm in the TAG meeting.
17:27:28 [DanC]
that I know of
17:27:46 [DanC]
and I might be stretching it to interpret Andy's comments as offering to chair
17:28:28 [ericP]
i reckon i can do it.
17:29:15 [ericP]
i note thta i'm better moderating discussion than coercing WG decisions
17:33:20 [DanC]
I'm trying to find a half-day of business that I'm not interested in ;-)
17:33:53 [DanC]
hmm... fromUnionQuery ... dunno if you're suficiently disinterested to chair that
17:34:10 [DanC]
(looking at http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/ftf5-bos.html#agenda )
17:36:15 [DanC]
I tried to scare away the observers, but it didn't work.
17:36:47 [DanC]
i.e. I sent a "if you really want to attend, you need to prove it by writing yet another mail message to me" and they did
17:37:10 [ericP]
i don't think i can do fromUnionQuery
17:37:31 [ericP]
all? i just saw one insistence
17:40:19 [DanC]
I got 4 "no" answers to my "go away?" message
17:40:59 [DanC]
Marja, Jacek, Larry.Levy@semagix.com, balaji.prasad@eds.com
17:41:50 [DanC]
ok, I think I have my ducks sufficiently lined up that I can ask the admin folks what size room they're giving us
17:44:50 [AndyS]
I can chair if you want - best if that session is not about rq23 issues.
17:47:58 [AndyS]
If Eric wants to get involved in protocol, I can chair a protocol session.
17:48:18 [AndyS]
DanC - what do you want to miss?
17:48:39 [DanC]
I think I want to miss fromUnionQuery
17:48:59 [DanC]
and maybe ftf6 scheduling, though I dunno if I can
17:49:20 [ericP]
I don't hink y ouhae that option. you're two candidate chairs are involved in it
17:49:27 [ericP]
(re missing fromUnionQuery)
17:51:10 [DanC]
hmm
17:51:18 [DanC]
how about nestedOptionals?
17:51:57 [DanC]
it needs a WG decision, coerced or otherwise
17:52:22 [DanC]
hmm... maybe I could do that in the telcon 22 Feb
17:52:46 [DanC]
maybe the best way to spend Monday AM is joint with SWIG
