14:40:48 <aliman_scribe> .. abstract and intro have been cleaned up, more focussed
14:40:50 <aliman_scribe> ...
14:41:14 <aliman_scribe> MikeU: 
14:41:41 <aliman_scribe> ... docuemnt lacked focus, no clear objective, no target audience, too abstract (referring to old version) ...
14:41:49 <aliman_scribe> ... needed to be more meaty ...
14:42:11 <aliman_scribe> ... one way forward - specifiy audience ...
14:42:37 <aliman_scribe> ... objectives: to get people excited about possibilities for sw technlogies ...
14:43:11 <aliman_scribe> ... MDA from UML is powerful framework, we believe it can be augmented with SW technlgies ...

14:43:19 <Zakim> -??P7
14:43:20 <Zakim> +??P7

14:43:46 <Zakim> I already had ??P7 as Jeff_Pan, danbri
14:44:08 <aliman_scribe> ... then discussed benefits ...
14:44:25 <aliman_scribe> ... with automated consistency checking get better quality of software, ...
14:44:42 <aliman_scribe> maintenance costs reduced because of tie between model & sftwre ...
14:44:46 <aliman_scribe> .
14:44:58 <aliman_scribe> DavidW: ... aligned with Mike in general ...
14:45:06 <aliman_scribe> section 3 (meat) did not reflect title ...
14:45:29 <aliman_scribe> ... expected to see more focus on ODA ... application of RDF/OWL to this aspect ...
14:46:09 <aliman_scribe> ... comments (1) concerns about tone/style (2) concern about direction of note ... latter more important than former ...
14:46:26 <aliman_scribe> ... uncomfortable with note moving forward as it stands .... but lots of value in this note ...
14:46:48 <aliman_scribe> ... would like more focus on ODA ... find direction to take this interesting note fowd.
14:47:07 <aliman_scribe> Phil: issue of direction ... there is agreement that this thing is valuable. ...
14:47:25 <aliman_scribe> ... issue of charted for WG and whether directional note in this context is appropriate ...
14:47:39 <aliman_scribe> ... second point: grounding this note in current tecnlgies ....
14:47:51 <aliman_scribe> latest version includes section about why OWL is relvnt here.
14:48:22 <aliman_scribe> DavidW: would surprise me if some form of ontological approach wasn't used in case tools / case research / other form of MDA in the past ...
14:48:38 <aliman_scribe> ... need literatrue survey to find areas where ontlgy approaches were taken ...
14:48:49 <aliman_scribe> then contrast with where OWL makes it better ...
14:49:16 <aliman_scribe> ... i.e. here is a big win for SW technlgies, here is background to people trying to do this thing in the past, cf. with OWL.
14:49:30 <aliman_scribe> Phil: met to discuss this last night ... have literature refs ...
14:50:18 <aliman_scribe> ... after discussion agrred more merit.
14:50:39 <aliman_scribe> ChrisW: was working in this 5 years ago ...
14:50:57 <aliman_scribe> ... 30 years of work in using declarative technologies in developing software ...
14:51:24 <aliman_scribe> ... what makes it different now is that, although OWL is nothing new wrt KR technlgies. ...
14:51:49 <aliman_scribe> ... but joining it with the web ... global, accessible, more relevant now, greater chance to succeed now ...
14:52:14 <aliman_scribe> ... similar to Java, nothing new but you have global accessibility to a standard ...
14:52:24 <aliman_scribe> .... same goes for SW technlogy.
14:52:36 <aliman_scribe> Guus: assuming we get something out there ...
14:52:45 <aliman_scribe> is it convincing and concrete enough to have impact ...
14:53:07 <aliman_scribe> ... how relate to ODM work? ... talk about how to use these things in practise ...

14:56:04 <aliman_scribe> .
14:56:38 <aliman_scribe> jjc: dissent because: no clarity about any content, section 3 is the important, but only contains hype ... 
14:56:48 <aliman_scribe> ... nothing of value in the note ...
14:56:57 <aliman_scribe> ... abstract does n ot relate to content ...
14:57:10 <aliman_scribe> ... this wg should not publish this doc ...
14:57:41 <aliman_scribe> ... document was circulated too early ...
14:58:16 <aliman_scribe> ... where is the value?  What is worth doing further work on?  Needs convincing.

14:59:08 <fumi> fumi has joined #swbp
14:59:46 <aliman_scribe> ... to jjc - on topics of automated se & MDA of value to write about relation of sw technliges to this?
14:59:47 <BalajiP> BalajiP has joined #swbp
14:59:57 <aliman_scribe> jjc: not appropriate for this WG.
15:00:21 <aliman_scribe> ... lots of other interesting ways that this could be exlpored ...
15:00:57 <aliman_scribe> ... in contrast the OMG docuemnt lacks directional big picture issues, but in terms on useful content it was worthwhile for our user community ...
15:01:29 <aliman_scribe> ... i.e. if someone asked me how to use swtechnl for se would direct them to OMG doc. ...
15:01:37 <aliman_scribe> danrbi: scope for middle ground?

15:04:51 <aliman_scribe> contributors were phil, jeff pan and daniel oberle.
15:05:31 <DavidW> Amy is working on another mike for us
15:05:33 <aliman_scribe> Guus: to evan - should there be a link between the SE draft and the ODM draft?
15:05:52 <aliman_scribe> evan: yes.  should this be an 'how to use ODM?' doc ... no.
15:06:20 <aliman_scribe> ... there is a good place for aposition paper document ... saying there is huge potential, technliges are there, we just need to try it ...
15:06:26 <aliman_scribe> ... and ODM is trying to do that ...
15:06:39 <aliman_scribe> ... but we do need something that is more esciting than the ODM draft ...
15:06:42 <aliman_scribe> (jjc nods)
15:07:17 <aliman_scribe> jjc: not sure about hypotheytcial wquestion ... evan's description of doc scope sounded more positive ...
15:07:36 <aliman_scribe> ... but a long way from being convinced that appropriate for this WG to write ap osition paper ...
15:07:58 <aliman_scribe> ... but a position paper giving a roadmap doc is valuable ... but what is apprpriate forum. ...
15:08:18 <aliman_scribe> Steve: needs to understand what is and is not appropriate for this WG. ...
15:08:41 <aliman_scribe> thought it was about defining best practises and advnacing deployment, draw on work already done, on that basis describibng best way ...
15:08:47 <aliman_scribe> ... then how can we further deployment ...
15:09:06 <aliman_scribe> ...impression from the SE draft is that it is an exhortation to start doing things, rather than review of what has been done ...
15:09:27 <aliman_scribe> ... need to start doing things in practse, then write about doing them (rather than other way around).
15:09:41 <aliman_scribe> DavidW: sensitive to charter, also needs of user community ...
15:09:59 <aliman_scribe> charter says: guidelenise that are not based on former practise is out of scope ...
15:10:04 <aliman_scribe> new research is out of scope ...
15:10:13 <aliman_scribe> but in practise have a user community trying to figure stuff out ...
15:11:00 <aliman_scribe> there are real world probs where semweb as whole and business commnuity could benefit from more standard ways of immigrating semweb into se ...
15:11:03 <aliman_scribe> guidance to user community is why we are here ...
15:11:15 <aliman_scribe> agrees that doc is no go in current form ...
15:11:51 <aliman_scribe> but has strong feeling that doc on ontological additions to se practise ... building on 30 years of research ... focussed note on how some of previous approaches could benefit from a semweb appraoch ...
15:12:03 <aliman_scribe> would be a good note and encourage TF to go there.
15:12:11 <aliman_scribe> ChrisW: only skimmed the doc ...
15:12:13 <Guus> q?
15:12:28 <aliman_scribe> sees big opportunity, supports idea of this TF ...
15:12:40 <aliman_scribe> se community has lots of momentum into area of overlap with semweb ....
15:12:49 <aliman_scribe> (but maybe doesn't know it)
15:13:04 <aliman_scribe> ... important time to bridge to that sommunity if we want some influence there ...
15:13:13 <aliman_scribe> .. the time is right, the technlgy is right ...
15:13:27 <aliman_scribe> need to take advantage of opportunity to connectg to the community ...
15:13:40 <aliman_scribe> if not they will invent their own technlgy and we lose a customer.
15:13:55 <aliman_scribe> jjc: there is a case for making some sort of document in this area ...
15:14:23 <aliman_scribe> jjc: maybe easier to connect in timely fashio without going through W3C process ...
15:14:38 <aliman_scribe> ... what about other forum e.g. se conference ...
15:15:13 <em> q?
15:15:15 <aliman_scribe> .... not opposed to idea that something is publishable ... but still needs to be convinced.
15:15:45 <aliman_scribe> Guus: be happier if note was based on identifying relationship between standards in se community and standards in the web world, abstract from that, high level view for what that could meean in the future ...
15:16:16 <aliman_scribe> q+ to say that it sounds like what is needed is a workshop???
15:16:53 <aliman_scribe> MikeU: general note probably not in scope ... but could have more focussed note that is in scope. 
15:17:09 <BalajiP> BalajiP has joined #swbp
15:17:44 <aliman_scribe> Guus: happier with document doc that is about linking standards then adds a 'vision' section to say where we could go with this ... 
15:17:50 <aliman_scribe> (instead of just a 'vision' doc)
15:18:35 <aliman_scribe> Evan: not sure what you mean ... because ODM is about linking standards.
15:18:52 <aliman_scribe> guus: could build tools based on ODM that translate UML to OWL ...
15:19:18 <aliman_scribe> so note could talk about this sort of thing then adda v ision section ... ?
15:19:51 <DavidW> ack aliman
15:19:51 <Zakim> aliman_scribe, you wanted to say that it sounds like what is needed is a workshop???
15:20:13 <Christo> alistair: I don't know what I'm talkking about, but this sounds like networking with people, setting up workshops, outreach
15:20:28 <Christo> ...sounds like out of scope?
15:20:29 <danbri> q+ to suggest some practicalities to add, to balance 'vision' aspects with nearterm (eg. use cases "find me blogs/IM/tel no of people whose classes implement this interface I'm thinking of changing... find me free software components that meet some API and are certified by Org X..")
15:20:30 <DavidW> ack jjc
15:20:31 <Zakim> jjc, you wanted to record dissent
15:20:47 <aliman_scribe> phil: has been excitiment about workshops ...
15:20:53 <aliman_scribe> will probably happen anyway ...
15:21:04 <aliman_scribe> but why do through W3C?  people pay attention to W3C ...
15:21:18 <DavidW> q+ to address whether W3c/SWBP is the right forum
15:21:21 <aliman_scribe> lots of people looking for advice in this area .. look to W3C as authoritatvie.
15:22:27 <aliman_scribe> ... but llok at it from the outside from a professional who is despserate for guidanec who knew that W3C had been playing around with this stuff ...
15:22:42 <aliman_scribe> but then didn't publish anything because of procedure .. looks bad. ...
15:23:02 <aliman_scribe> what would be of benefit is if control of current SE draft is passed to someone else?
15:23:06 <jjc> jjc has joined #swbp
15:23:30 <aliman_scribe> danbri: W3C has been changing  ... used to prepare things in private fora ... drafts like this not findable buy the public ...
15:24:00 <aliman_scribe> process is evolving to do the work in public ... but there is lack of guidelines for building drafts in public view.
15:24:17 <aliman_scribe> ... draft has potential but needs more practidcal stuff in addition to vision ...
15:24:54 <aliman_scribe> ... there are use cases from e.g. extreme programming ....
15:25:13 <aliman_scribe> ... pracitcal examples from collaborative SE .. ?
15:25:44 <aliman_scribe> guus: suggest that a purely visionary document is out of scope for this WG, outside our charter. ...
15:26:10 <danbri> (my ref: pragamatic programmer, http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/
15:26:16 <aliman_scribe> could live with a document that contains a visionary section but contains practical links between communities, clearly extablished pragmatics which gives some beef to the vision, acceptable?

15:30:39 <aliman_scribe> Phil: hears that we have agreement to proceed, but need to ground in current technololgies and real world expectations.
15:30:44 <aliman_scribe> ... objections?
15:31:29 <aliman_scribe> jjc: some characterisations of the possible path for this document sound ok ... certainly not against some of the characterisations that have been suggested ...
15:32:00 <aliman_scribe> liked Guus's chatacterisation: grounded in relations between work already done in SE community, work already done in SW commnty, links between ...
15:32:05 <danbri> (maybe we could tweak the taskforce charter to capture whatever this concensus is...?)
15:32:20 <aliman_scribe> Guus: hear consensus to move fwd with this doc in this direction.
15:33:14 <BalajiP> BalajiP has joined #swbp
15:33:33 <aliman_scribe> Guus: propses action to phil to updated SETF charter accordingly.
15:33:34 <danbri> danbri: (said) maybe we could tweak the taskforce charter to capture whatever this concensus is...?
15:33:40 <em> this is a 'bridge' document between communities... the more study the bridge in terms of concrete connections the more weight this bridge can support in bringing people over and understanding how these communities relate
15:33:54 <aliman_scribe> Phil: thinks doc would benefit from someone else taking charge.

16:08:48 <danbri> (DCMI is Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, see http://www.dublincore.org/ )
16:09:28 <jjc_scribe> In third section each issue is treated with two paragraphs
16:09:43 <jjc_scribe> indicating different positions and links to further reading
16:10:24 <jjc_scribe> DCMI documents can fit into this VM note
16:12:00 <jjc_scribe> q+ to give Tom action on slides
16:14:36 <danbri> tom: re other vocabs that are online in a "pre-SemWeb" way... 
16:14:43 <danbri> (many are thesauri; i wonder the relationship to SKOS...)
16:15:03 <DavidW> ACTION:  TomB to post URL to his VM TF slides
16:15:08 <DavidW> q- jjc
16:15:30 <DavidW> np
16:17:47 <DavidW> I like TomB's ideas for a 3rd party endorsement model for vocab extensions
16:18:18 <DanC_> simplest way for DCMI to endorse such a statement is to say it in a document they publish, seems to me
16:19:00 <danbri> (aside: I've just restored http://esw.w3.org/topic/SoftwarePackaging from spam damage, linked to the SWBP Software Eng'ing TF)
16:19:34 <DavidW> Endorsement is different from original assertion
16:20:28 <jjc_scribe> Shared formalisms -last slide - particularly between foaf dc and skos communities
16:21:13 <DanC_> not necessarily, DavidW
16:22:45 <jjc_scribe> LoC issue to do with endorsement is current concrete problem facing DC community
16:22:52 <jjc_scribe> LoC = Library of Congress
16:23:02 <danbri> q+ to mention http://www.w3.org/Talks/2005/0229-jk-rdf-sig/ from SWIF F2F on tuesday  (DCMI can just say things re MARC on their site; but can explore digital signature aspects for extra assurance)
16:23:20 <DanC_> endorsement at the document level is straightforward. Endorsement at the statement level is more tricky.
16:23:59 <jjc_scribe> Tom finishes talk.

16:26:28 <jjc_scribe> Alistair: however title seems inappropriate e.g. "managing a vocab for SW - review of current practice"
16:26:34 <DanC_> +1 title should say "this document asks more questions than it answers"
16:26:44 <ivan> q+
16:26:59 <jjc_scribe> Alistair: best practice may not be cuirrent practice
16:27:32 <jjc_scribe> TomB: the middle bit of doc is good practice

16:27:51 <DavidW> ack ivan
16:27:58 <jjc_scribe> Ralph: I hope this TF will propose best practice

16:29:28 <DavidW> q?
16:29:37 <RalphS> JJC: I think "best practices" means "best current practices"
16:29:55 <Zakim> DanC_, you wanted to offer to fly by some TAG issues that seem VM-related, now that VM moved to today
16:29:57 <DavidW> ack Danc
16:30:07 <jjc_scribe> Alistair: howabout "Managing SW Vocabs"
16:30:23 <jjc_scribe> DanC: couple of TAG issues related:

16:30:49 <danbri> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/issues.html

16:32:07 <jjc_scribe> DanC: namespace Document 8
16:32:21 <jjc_scribe> DanC: this is vocab management related ....
16:32:45 <jjc_scribe> DanC: TAG has been discussing RDF Schema's XML Schema, RDDL, HTML docs
16:33:22 <jjc_scribe> DanC: the XML Schema validation service will follow RDDL docs
16:33:34 <jjc_scribe> DavidW: what do you want this TF to do?
16:33:53 <jjc_scribe> DanC: I'm just drawing your attention to these
16:33:59 <jjc_scribe> DanC: httpRange 14
16:34:12 <jjc_scribe> DanC: what is the range of http deref function?
16:34:21 <ivan> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/issues.html?type=1#httpRange-14
16:34:33 <jjc_scribe> DanC: this is the hash versus slash issue

16:34:51 <ivan> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/issues.html?type=1#RDFinXHTML-35
16:35:19 <danbri> q+ to suggest http-range14 is a bigger block than the others, since namespace docs can be changed without as much disruptive  as namespace URIs

16:35:35 <Zakim> RalphS, you wanted to comment on TAG issues
16:36:05 <jjc_scribe> RalphS: all three of these block deployment of applications and some of our TFs
16:36:26 <jjc_scribe> Ralph: I would propose that WG find a TF that is responsible for each of these three
16:36:50 <jjc_scribe> Ralph: I suggest we give actions to TF to develop WG position on each of these
16:36:54 <jjc_scribe> JJC: seconded
16:37:10 <danbri> (re -35/xhtml, that is a part of the namespace doc issue)
16:37:27 <DanC_> (oops; I forgot one... "social meaning" has a home in the TAG issues list http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/issues.html?type=1#rdfURIMeaning-39 )

16:39:13 <jjc_scribe> DanBri: as namespace owner with URI ending in /
16:39:36 <jjc_scribe> DanBri: with limited attention we should work on this issue not namespace docs
16:39:48 <jjc_scribe> DanBri: easier to change namespace doc than namespace URI
16:40:15 <DavidW> q?
16:40:32 <DanC_> (you could be more explicit, danbri: it's easier to change a namespace document than to change all the documents that refer to it)
16:40:39 <jjc_scribe> Guus: asking DanBri should we be taking a position and reporting that to TAG?
16:40:42 <DavidW> ack ralph
16:40:50 <danbri> (nice formulation, danc)
16:41:28 <jjc_scribe> Ralph: I would like it to be more explicit, the WG should acknowledge its responsibility to state a position
16:41:49 <danbri> (I don't think VM TF first Working Draft needs to wait for a position on http-range-14)
16:41:52 <jjc_scribe> q+ to ask for straw poll on httpRange 14
16:42:19 <jjc_scribe> Ralph: we should not punt this to TAG
16:42:22 <danbri> +1

16:44:20 <jjc_scribe> TomB: I want to ensure we set milestones for VM note
16:44:27 <ChrisW> q+ to be sure there will be someone here tomorrow that can represent the tag's position
16:44:34 <jjc_scribe> TomB: March is difficult
16:44:57 <jjc_scribe> TomB: is it reasonable to have first draft by mid-May
16:45:39 <jjc_scribe> Guus: midMay is a bit far away
16:45:51 <jjc_scribe> TomB: still awaiting some input
16:46:02 <DavidW> We are over time for this TF now and need to deal with immediate planning issues.  DanC has raised the issue and we will determine a WG consensus on it tomorrow when we have time.
16:46:13 <danbri> (re timing/contribs, I only have time to commit in April... march is taken for EU bids; may is also uncertain)
16:46:16 <DanC_> (er... it's an editor's draft now.)
16:46:21 <jjc_scribe> TomB: if input came mid-April, then we could circulate an editors draft by end-April
16:46:30 <DavidW> q- ChrisW
16:46:34 <jjc_scribe> as 'candidate working draft'
16:46:46 <danbri> (new terminology, but also used in DAWG...)
16:46:49 <DanC_> i.e. a proposal from the editor to the WG to publish as WD
16:47:08 <jjc_scribe> Guus: who in particular are we waiting for? (inputs to VM note)
16:47:36 <jjc_scribe> TomB: pillars are DCMI Foaf skos and relevant TAG issues
16:48:31 <jjc_scribe> DavidW: what is a realistic time? (asking TomB)
16:48:45 <jjc_scribe> TomB: for foaf we need text
16:48:53 <DanC_> DanC: [after FYI re tag issues]. I encourage you, while working on vocabularies, either as a WG (ala SKOS) or individually (ala foaf, ...) to be aware of your approach to these issues and think about whether you'd advise others to do likewise or not.
16:48:56 <jjc_scribe> DanBri: I can't do it in March, but can in April
16:49:22 <danbri> (well, maybe last week of march...)
16:49:32 <jjc_scribe> Alistair can we do it faster
16:49:48 <RalphS> RalphS has joined #swbp

16:50:33 <danbri> (url for doc?)
16:50:40 <jjc_scribe> DanBri: have you factored in procrastination time
16:51:01 <jjc_scribe> Guus: it would be good to have this out soon
16:51:44 <jjc_scribe> Jeremy: let's publish without foaf just a tbd

19:16:29 <guus> q?
19:16:43 <scribe> danbri: the methodology rather...
19:17:24 <scribe> mark: right, tried to convert rdf document testcases to rdfa and then see if we get to the same n-trioples, but would like some more tests
19:17:41 <guus> ack ivan
19:17:44 <scribe> ...using real documents eg foaf, be good to agree on some documents to use
19:18:12 <danbri> (yup i think having real, use-casey examples + their ntriples would be better than using obscure corner cases)
19:18:15 <scribe> ivan: richard ishida  and others have a groupo called international tagset

19:20:06 <scribe> ralph: is thrilled to see a document updated. his expactation was that rdfa wopuld get merged into the working draft and then disappear as a separate document - I think you're saying that it has life a s aseparate document. priority for him is the working draft not rdfa
19:20:51 <scribe> ...is the material from the standalone document that we reviewed going in as is or substantially different?
19:21:23 <danbri> (@url for RDF/A latest?)
19:21:25 <scribe> stevenp: not substantially diffrent but b-nodes stuff didn't make it in to this draft

19:21:48 <benadida> (rdf/a)
19:22:19 <scribe> ralph: jeremy implemenbted the oct draft and seemed to end up with many more triples than expected - was that a prose mismatch to number of triples ... etc
19:22:32 <MikeU> MikeU has joined #swbp
19:22:56 <guus> q?
19:22:58 <scribe> ...repeating jeremy's tests would be good - have you looked at that?
19:23:12 <danbri> (ralph's point is exactly why I'd like a test case collection...)
19:23:22 <scribe> steven: think all you have to do is change the namespace. otherwise it should just work
19:23:43 <scribe> mark: the audience for rdf/a and xhtml2 is quite different
19:24:01 <scribe> ...not indepth explanation of rdf in xhtml2 draft
19:24:19 <scribe> ..point of rdf/a was to have somethign that we could all discuss...
19:24:49 <scribe> ...this should not stop xhtml2 going on its way but steven and I do want to finish rdf/a
19:25:20 <scribe> ...xhtml2 document not sufficient to determine if you get 3 triples or 5 
19:25:26 <scribe> steven disagrees
19:25:49 <scribe> guus: was your intention to make the drafft less precise, or is this an error
19:25:52 <danbri> q+ to suggest an intermediate position w.r.t. tests: each of several examples linking to exactly triple-equivlent rdf/xml files
19:26:02 <scribe> mark: deliberate, for a diffeent audience
19:26:35 <scribe> steven: suggests that you look at it and feedback to them 
19:27:17 <scribe> ralph: it's important that the syntax is tied to the level of mathematical precision that rdf has
19:27:29 <scribe> ..and that level was in the oct draft
19:27:31 <guus> q?
19:27:36 <scribe> ...it needs to be there somewhere
19:28:36 <scribe> mark: the whole reason for us producing rdf/a was to have these discussions
19:29:15 <scribe> ralph: his expectation was that rdf/a was a vehicle for discusssion but that it would be reintegrated into the maintream of xhtml2
19:29:46 <scribe> mark: not necessaily a problem but one motivation for taking it out was so that other languages could use it e.g. svg
19:30:03 <danbri> mark: svg has a 'metadata' element, which as far as i can see is completely wasted... [missed rest of point]
19:30:14 <scribe> ralph: fully supports that, although there may be objections that its out of scope
19:31:04 <scribe> guus: we're not trying to bring you more work...and we can probably help
19:31:47 <scribe> danbri: compromise perhaps: link to the examples and to an exactly equivalent rdf/xml version

19:47:13 <DanC_> (hmm... dunno what relaxng does with qnames in content)
19:47:16 <scribe> mark not sure.
19:47:32 <Steven> mimasa?
19:48:31 <scribe> gavin(?): [missed the detail, sorry]...
19:48:45 <jjc> schema validation includes qnames in attributes
19:48:50 <jjc> (XML Schema)
19:48:59 <scribe> ben: this is great, looking foreward to giving you some testcases
19:49:38 <scribe> ACTION: danbri will help write an rdf schema for the additional xhtml2 namespace elements
19:49:57 <scribe> though he may need a telecon and be pinged with the specifics
19:50:04 <Gavin> gavin asked about how to distinguish between metadata on resource referred from parent element href which is inherited versus metadata on parent element
19:50:48 <scribe> ban: our plan is to cheer you on with rdf/a and fully endorse this for xhtml2; prior htmls endorsing GRDDL, maybe a WG note or a rec
19:50:59 <scribe> ...need to discuss what this would need
19:51:02 <Gavin> gavin understands that if href is inherited as an about, that you'll be able to associated the metadata with the linking element itself (instead of the referenced resource) by doing something like about="" on the meta element
19:51:05 <jjc> q+ to ask about bnodes
19:51:05 <scribe> s/ban/ben/
19:51:29 <jjc> q+ to ask about process of working together
19:51:38 <scribe> guus: also thinking of writing a very short note about the 2 possible routes for rdf in html, with soem examples
19:52:00 <scribe> ...are you planning anything similar? if so we should coordinate
19:52:11 <scribe> stevenp: that fits
19:52:23 <guus> q?
19:52:23 <em> q?
19:52:31 <Zakim> danbri, you wanted to ask re ns decl
19:52:37 <danbri> ack danbri
19:52:38 <Zakim> jjc, you wanted to ask about bnodes and to ask about process of working together
19:52:39 <danbri> ack danbri
19:53:28 <danbri> q+ to aha re bnodes; i didn't realise. i thought *discussion* of bnodes was what was being dropped
19:53:32 <scribe> jeremy: from what I've gathered is the most unwelcome change form the oct doc is the dropping of support for bnodes, so we can;t serialize all rdf graphs
19:53:50 <scribe> ...I think worth highlighting as a signifant change
19:53:50 <benadida> (I had not realized the bnode change either)
19:54:17 <scribe> stevenp: if a significant problem, review it and discuss how we can get it back in
19:54:45 <RalphS> Mark: I hadn't realized that bnode support got dropped until Steven mentioned it just now; I will trace back what happened
19:54:46 <scribe> mark: think we did have a simple solution...I think we can incorprate it fairly easily
19:54:51 <danbri> q?
19:55:17 <DanC_> (hmm... something like "pronoun" rather than bnode?)
19:55:26 <scribe> stevenp: would like to find a way of expressing it that doesn;t use rdf technical terms like 'bnodes' - should be something your grandmother would understand
19:55:56 <danbri> re bNodes, FOAF use case I tihnk will need bnode support to capture common FOAF idioms; http://rdfweb.org/mt/foaflog/archives/2003/07/10/12.05.33/
19:56:10 <scribe> mark: at one point we had xpointer thing, then bnode as an attribute, then object or thing or thingy, need to retrace thought process
19:56:19 <scribe> guss: feedback on this before last call?
19:56:25 <tvraman> tvraman has joined #swbp
19:57:01 <DanC_> (er... hey... you can't make last call comments to yourself)
19:57:03 <tvraman> raman: virtually here --- rdf:role=observer 
19:57:04 <scribe> stevenp: last call is as soon as we can, so a last call comment makes sense
19:57:15 <jjc> jjc has joined #swbp
19:57:23 <danbri> q?
19:58:09 <scribe> jeremy: we had a rquest from html wg to help with rdf/a - now you need more help with schema document - which is cool - but would like a better communication process
19:58:34 <scribe> stevep: weekly 30 min call?
19:58:55 <scribe> guus: the rdf in html tf calls obvious point of contact
19:59:36 <scribe> mark: not been clear sometimes if dicsusing something I need to be there for or if you are discussing GRDDL for example 
20:00:08 <scribe> ben: that mailing list rdf in html has been almost all rdf/a. we'd love to have you for those (or part of them)
20:00:23 <scribe> ACTION: ben set a time for the telecons
20:00:46 <Steven> rrsagent, pointer?
20:00:46 <RRSAgent> See http://www.w3.org/2005/03/03-swbp-irc#T20-00-46
20:00:48 <scribe> guus: we will send oyu the minutes of this meeting
20:00:49 <RalphS> s^the telecons^the RDF-in-XHTML telecons^
20:00:56 <Zakim> danbri, you wanted to aha re bnodes; i didn't realise. i thought *discussion* of bnodes was what was being dropped
20:01:18 <scribe> danbri: was suprised by the bnode suipport being lost, bnodes very important
20:01:40 <scribe> ...do we expect RDF/A documents to be GRDDLable? and is there anything we need to do
20:02:09 <scribe> ...jeremy and maxf have made xslt...what do we need to do with the schema?
20:02:29 <scribe> ...decide that that's the way to make these work together?
20:02:38 <scribe> danc: qnames may make this tricky
20:02:55 <scribe> ACTION: the rdf is html tf to discuss this
20:03:01 <DanC_> the practicality of using GRDDL on RDF/A documents is impacted by the use of qnames in content
20:03:01 <scribe> (was that an action?)
20:03:22 <danbri> (jjc, do you have an xslt that can do the qname thing? does it require xslt2?)
20:03:39 <scribe> r[sorry, scribe missed ralph's point]
20:03:58 <benadida> Ralph suggested naming the various documents so we know which ones we're referring to
20:04:08 <scribe> thanks
20:04:46 <scribe> ralph: is confused because is rdf/a was standalone, then would just reference tit from xhtml2 document
20:04:55 <jjc> my rdf/a thing was xslt2, but then I've forgotten xslt1
20:05:17 <scribe> mark: rdf/a not even a working draft so can;t reference it, timelines are wrong. 
20:05:45 <scribe> ..ideally it would have been published first and referenced
20:05:56 <RalphS> it appears that we need two names to be able to refer to a standalone module and a module of XHTML2
20:06:11 <RalphS> Mark: there are actually 3 modules of XHTML2
20:06:25 <scribe> [HTML WG leaving]
20:06:53 <scribe> ----
20:07:16 <scribe> GRDDL discussion - future of GRDDL
20:07:46 <scribe> ben: what need to happen to GRDDl document to have it go in a recommendation direction [?]
20:08:26 <scribe> ben: we want feeback form the WG on bringing GRDDL to rec track
20:08:27 <DavidW> q+
20:08:30 <Zakim> RalphS, you wanted to ask about terminology moving forward
20:09:34 <scribe> danC: the process of note/rec etc is a means tgo an end for danc - get peopel to publish rdf data. rec track makes it easier to justify the time on testcases etc 
20:09:45 <jjc> q+ to ask for time on this issue
20:09:57 <scribe> ......q: is this a 'best practice' for the sweb?
20:10:43 <scribe> ... wondering if rec might bring people out of the woodwork
20:10:57 <scribe> ...to get feedback
20:10:57 <jjc> jjc has joined #swbp
20:11:46 <scribe> davidw: personally thinks GRDDL is cool, and like to see it rec track, but not sure if it's in charter
20:12:05 <scribe> ralph: chater allows for recommendation, specifically for theembedding issue
20:12:15 <scribe> davidw: withdraws comment
20:12:54 <scribe> jjc: needs to talk to colleagues about this, can't respond at this time
20:13:26 <Zakim> jjc, you wanted to ask for time on this issue
20:13:35 <scribe> danbri: comments would be good to hear e.g. from jena devlopers
20:13:40 <guus> q?
20:13:59 <scribe> ben: yes re comments, but we don't have anything else for pre-xhtml2 without it
20:14:00 <guus> ack RalphS
20:14:13 <scribe> ralph: this could be addressed by a note
20:14:21 <Gavin> q+ 
20:14:43 <DavidW> Can someone please show me where in the SWBP Charter we are allowed/expected to solve the RDF embedding question?
20:15:26 <scribe> ...the TF is inclined to move forward with a new version of the document; we need to say in there what plans are
20:15:31 <jjc> The Working Group will, in conjunction with the HTML Working Group, provide a solution for representing RDF metadata within an XHMTL document.
20:15:33 <jjc> 1.2.2
20:15:41 <DavidW> "Produce a Working Group Note on guidelines for transforming an existing  representation into an RDF/OWL representation."??
20:15:45 <scribe> ...does the wg share the same opinion as the TF?
20:15:57 <jjc> q+ to add a bit more about jena team
20:16:09 <danbri> q+ to ask (if we want actual discussion of GRDDL detail) whether GRDDL works fine w/ XSLT1 and XSLT2; spec doesn't mention version currently, perhaps we consider this defered to markup within the cited xslt doc?
20:16:15 <DavidW> Thanks, jjc
20:16:20 <scribe> guus: what does the TF think it will take in resources to go to rec produce new draft - enough recources?
20:16:41 <Tantek> Tantek has joined #swbp
20:16:44 <scribe> danc: would like to go around the table and see if it's important to people
20:17:00 <Zakim> jjc, you wanted to add a bit more about jena team
20:17:29 <DavidW> q+ to discuss Charter issues
20:17:40 <scribe> jeremy: thinks if it was rec track it would make a difference to whether to implement it
20:17:43 <shinichi> shinichi has joined #swbp
20:18:53 <scribe> ...guesses not that high priority for jena team
20:18:58 <Zakim> danbri, you wanted to ask (if we want actual discussion of GRDDL detail) whether GRDDL works fine w/ XSLT1 and XSLT2; spec doesn't mention version currently, perhaps we consider
20:19:01 <Zakim> ... this defered to markup within the cited xslt doc?
20:19:09 <DavidW> q-
20:19:30 <scribe> danbri: if its developers vs consumers, he would be hard on the developers
20:19:43 <scribe> ..likes the idea of a big push, e.g for foaf data
20:20:02 <scribe> ...would like to know how hard it is for developers tgo do it, what it entails
20:20:04 <danbri> s/consumers/publishers/
20:20:09 <scribe> ta
20:20:28 <jjc2> jjc2 has joined #swbp
20:21:08 <scribe> gavin: makes me think of blogs...does it make sense to ask member and non-members to see if e.g. rdf comments would be useful?
20:21:27 <jjc> jjc has joined #swbp
20:21:35 <scribe> danc: talked briefly about this - depends if blogs produce xhtml or not
20:21:49 <Gavin> q-
20:21:49 <scribe> ...worth asking them
20:22:08 <scribe> pepper: still not sure why we can;t just use RDF/A
20:22:25 <scribe> ben: rdf/a only works for xhtml2, not xhtml
20:22:41 <scribe> danbri: other things e.g. topicmaps could use it
20:23:12 <scribe> danc: could just change schema documents and then harvest rdf out of them
20:24:26 <scribe> tom: dc has an old spec for rdf in html using metatags. not sure how many people actually embed it. would need to check
20:25:06 <scribe> ACTION: tom baker ask DC colleagues if many use rdf inside html
20:25:42 <scribe> davidw: definitely a use out there - for transforming large volumes of web data
20:25:56 <scribe> jeremy: what's the takeup of the note?
20:26:42 <scribe> ben: feeling in the community that GRDDL is not 'offical'
20:27:05 <scribe> ...maybe all we need to do is endorse it but personally think people are waiting for rec track
20:27:39 <scribe> gavin: if we could get all the rdf out of comment blocks then it would be very valuable
20:27:52 <guus> q?
20:28:34 <scribe> danc: feedback we've had is would we need to fix all the html? if so, that's a big problem 
20:29:43 <scribe> fabian: 90% of the documents we deal with are proprietory, so don;t embed it; for educational materials we deal with it would be good added value
20:30:04 <scribe> ralph: chicken and egg problem - we're not seeig the demand for it because they don't know about it
20:30:13 <scribe> ...at best we can ask them to change once
20:30:31 <Gavin> q+
20:30:33 <jjc> q+ to say if one change, then rdf/a
20:30:51 <scribe> ...how fast do we think people whop want to put metadata in documents will move to xhtml2?
20:31:29 <pepper> q+ to ask why GRDDL can't be made to work with HTML
20:31:45 <scribe> ...dangerous to retrofit something to existing documents - the authors of the documents didn't necessrily agree to the new contract implied, especially if a random document
20:32:30 <scribe> gavin: what would be the second change?
20:32:55 <scribe> ralph: if we ask them to trty something experimental to see if it should become a rec, imples another change
20:33:18 <scribe> jeremy - worth waiting another year for RDF/A, if only change once
20:33:44 <scribe> pepper: if it worked with HTMl not XHTML then it would really take off
20:34:09 <danbri> q+ to advocate for GRDDL 
20:34:16 <scribe> danc: at the moment just uses xslt so won;t work
20:34:37 <scribe> ....not sure how it would work, need a parse for bad html
20:34:58 <Zakim> pepper, you wanted to ask why GRDDL can't be made to work with HTML
20:35:07 <Zakim> jjc, you wanted to say if one change, then rdf/a
20:35:14 <scribe> guus: not enough convincing usecases at the moment - would the TF provide those?
20:36:01 <scribe> ACTION: gavin find out from his community and contacts if they have usecases
20:36:26 <guus> q?
20:36:34 <guus> ack danbri
20:36:34 <Zakim> danbri, you wanted to advocate for GRDDL 
20:36:50 <jjc> q+ on ie update
20:37:04 <danbri> q-
20:37:14 <scribe> danbri: was thinking what it would be like to wait for xhtml2 in order to use rdf in html: I'd choose GRDDL if have to choose one
20:37:48 <scribe> jeremy: xhtml2 docuiments are immediately deployable because css can be read by existing browsers
20:38:09 <RalphS> danbri: even the linking stuff?
20:38:20 <scribe> guus: suggests TF waits for the input form those two actionms and maybe goes to find more usecases itself
20:38:22 <RalphS> ... it would be nice if links between pages in xhtml2 still worked in existing browsers
20:38:27 <danbri> jjc, that's v interesting; i'd like to see the detail if you've got a pointer
20:38:49 <scribe> guus: we can use the final slot tomorrow to discuss it if we have any more information

21:05:08 <RalphS> Chris: I would like to propose to move two documents to Note
21:05:27 <RalphS> ... first is "Representing Specified Values in OWL" -- aka "value partitions"
21:06:03 <RalphS> Guus: move to Note requires that the WD has been stable and any changes are minor
21:06:13 <RalphS> Chris: current WD was published on 3 Aug
21:06:21 <RalphS> ... editorial changes are cleaning up terminilogy

21:16:18 <RalphS> thanks, DanC
21:17:07 <DavidW> XXX == Mike Uschold
21:17:48 <RalphS> Natasha: the changes since 3 August are more than editorial
21:18:08 <RalphS> Chris: the content has not changed, just the way it is organized; just the structure
21:18:15 <RalphS> +Alan (earlier)
21:18:28 <RalphS> Alan: the only major change was 'feature' to 'quality'
21:18:40 <RalphS> ... breaking things into bullets, revising the diagram
21:19:17 <RalphS> ... put into the diagram the notion of disjoint by default
21:20:39 <RalphS> PROPOSED: to conclude work on Representing Specified Values in OWL: "value partitions" and "value sets" by publishing it as a Note, contingent on confirmation by Mike Uschold that changes since 3 Aug are editorial
21:20:54 <dlm> hand raising from dlm
21:20:54 <RalphS> so RESOLVED
21:21:11 <RalphS> Chris: moving on to Classes As Values
21:21:37 <RalphS> ... changes in organization and wording
21:21:58 <RalphS> ... Mike proposed some more editorial changes last night
21:23:13 <RalphS> ... specifically, for the considerations sections, making each pattern consistent

21:34:03 <RalphS> ... e.g. a promise to develop a dictionary of terms
21:34:08 <RalphS> ... do you have a schedule for this?
21:34:15 <RalphS> Chris: yes, we are working on this
21:34:23 <RalphS> ... we had hoped to have a glossary by this meeting
21:34:34 <RalphS> zakim, what conference is this?
21:34:34 <Zakim> this is SW_BPD(TP)9:00AM conference code 7927

21:36:49 <DanC_> (ah... yes, having the TODO in there vs proposing to conclude work had me scratching my head too. moving the TODO list to the TF page would make sense to me)
21:37:22 <RalphS> David: what about the first bullet? ["identify several OWL DL compatible approaches..."]
21:38:01 <RalphS> David: for a document that will live longer than this WG, I would prefer that the to-do list be removed
21:38:16 <RalphS> ACTION: Natasha remove the 'Open issues' from the Status of this Document
21:38:50 <RalphS> ACTION: Chris move Classes as Values and Value Partitions to w3.org
21:39:42 <RalphS> Mike: Alan highlighted pros and cons, that seems to be useful
21:40:05 <RalphS> ... are people comfortable with using this approach in Classes as Values?
21:40:12 <RalphS> David: I found the pros & cons very useful
21:40:21 <RalphS> Guus: for Classes as Values I think there should be no opinion
21:40:51 <RalphS> Mike: not saying 'good' or 'bad' about the pattern overall
21:41:15 <RalphS> Guus: I feel strongly we should stay with a neutral approach
21:41:24 <RalphS> ... this Note is about DL vs. non-DL
21:41:35 <RalphS> ... it is dangerous to make subjective statements here
21:41:54 <RalphS> Mike: is saying "maintenance is costly" too subjective?
21:42:09 <DanC_> ah... "# There is a maintenance penalty"
21:42:30 <RalphS> David: saying "this is expensive to maintain" might require further review
21:42:43 <RalphS> Natasha: I would not want to make a judgement for everything
21:42:55 <RalphS> ... some cases are obvious already
21:43:02 <RalphS> ... I prefer a neutral approach
21:43:36 <RalphS> PROPOSE to accept http://smi-web.stanford.edu/people/noy/ClassesAsValues/ClassesAsValues-2nd-WD.html contingent on editorial changes to be proposed by Mike and accepted by Natasha
21:43:51 <dlm> no objection
21:44:12 <RalphS> (vote by show of hands)
21:44:19 <RalphS> Evan: this seems to be a convoluted process
21:45:20 <RalphS> ... there seem to be substantial structural changes happening
21:45:38 <RalphS> ... we're making a judgement about the nature of these changes
21:46:04 <RalphS> David: specifically, we just discussed changes to the value judgements in the document and decided not to make such changes
21:46:14 <RalphS> Alistair: abstain
21:46:31 <RalphS> RESOLVED to accept http://smi-web.stanford.edu/people/noy/ClassesAsValues/ClassesAsValues-2nd-WD.html contingent on editorial changes to be proposed by Mike and accepted by Natasha
21:47:11 <danbri-laptop> (re wordnet, i've not studied Aldo's new work)
21:47:36 <RalphS> Chris: the N-ary relations draft is still undergoing change
21:47:50 <RalphS> ... this document will have content changes
21:48:01 <RalphS> ... Ralph has the action to review this when it is ready
21:48:09 <RalphS> ... also a new editor's draft on simple part-whole relations
21:48:22 <RalphS> ... new draft co-edited by Alan and myself
21:48:28 <RalphS> ... ready for comments by others
21:49:01 <RalphS> -> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/OEP/SimplePartWhole/index.html Simple part-whole relations in OWL Ontologies 1 March
21:49:10 <RalphS> Guus: volunteer to review
21:49:16 <RalphS> Bill: volunteer to review
21:50:16 <RalphS> Chris: I hope soon after the OEP telecon 2 weeks from now that this will be ready for review

21:50:49 <DanC_> (though it bears the date 1 Mar 2005)
21:51:32 <RalphS> Elisa: will be spending time with Evan discussing units and measures note
21:51:52 <RalphS> Evan: I have a new task to work on this at NIST
21:52:01 <RalphS> ... I've been looking at a lot of OWL ontologies now
21:52:15 <RalphS> ... there are a lot of OWL ontologies for units, well fleshed-out
21:52:27 <RalphS> ... first task is to produce a set of criteria for evaluation
21:52:30 <dlm> i would like to be on the queue
21:53:00 <RalphS> Evan: the WG is not supposed to pick "winners", correct?
21:53:14 <RalphS> Guus: you could propose some minimal criteria for usefulness
21:53:47 <RalphS> Deb: GEO group has a starting point for units and measures in OWL also
21:53:51 <RalphS> Evan: based on ISO work?
21:53:57 <RalphS> Deb: not sure -- will ask
21:54:42 <RalphS> Evan: my intention is first to develop some evaluation criteria
21:54:59 <guus> q+
21:55:18 <RalphS> ACTION: Evan and Elisa develop criteria for evaluating units and measures ontologies
21:55:22 <Valentina> Valentina has joined #swbp
21:55:28 <dlm> http://www.geongrid.org/workshops/geoont2005/  is the working group meeting I am at .  they have starting points in owl for units and measures, numerics, scaling, and comparators
21:55:43 <RalphS> Guus: I see 3 types of things that could go into the note
21:56:21 <RalphS> ... a generic schema for units and measures
21:56:29 <RalphS> ... initial examples from Tom Gruber
21:56:39 <RalphS> ... 2. actual units and measures themselves
21:56:47 <RalphS> ... 3. patterns for using these; showing how to apply them
21:56:53 <Valentina> ciao bello
21:57:00 <RalphS> ... could concentrate on some at first
21:57:11 <RalphS> Elisa: there are hundreds of units we could consider
21:57:19 <RalphS> ... so it would be helpful to narrow the scope
21:58:40 <RalphS> Chris: still waiting for Jerry Hobbs to join the WG [to work on time ontology]
21:58:46 <RalphS> ... have pinged relevant AC Rep
21:59:48 <DanC_> (Chris, I'm kinda motivated to help with getting Hobbs to join the WG; I might have time to phone his AC rep)
22:00:40 <RalphS> further discussion scheduled for 12:00-1:00 EST tomorrow
22:01:01 <RalphS> David: what is the publication plan for the glossary?  wikipedia?
22:01:25 <RalphS> Chris: not sure, will link somehow from WG pages; expect it to contain ~20 terms
22:01:46 <RalphS> Guus: maybe include as an appendix in future Notes
22:03:01 <RalphS> Topic: WordNet
22:03:11 <RalphS> Guus: up until a few weeks ago we had little input
22:03:18 <RalphS> ... now we have a lot of input; still processing it
22:04:02 <RalphS> Chris: I read one of the documents
22:04:08 <DanC_> from the agenda...
22:04:11 <DanC_> [13] WNET: Ontowordnet
22:04:11 <DanC_> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swbp-wg/2005Feb/0066.html

22:04:54 <tbaker> tbaker has joined #swbp
22:04:55 <FabGandon> FabGandon has joined #swbp
22:05:24 <RalphS> Chris: I read the 'mapping' document
22:05:56 <RalphS> ... reconciling  with good ontology practice
22:06:03 <tbaker> tbaker has joined #swbp
22:06:07 <RalphS> ... recognized semantic issues with the toplevel of wordnet
22:06:15 <RalphS> ... all good considerations from my point of view
22:06:42 <RalphS> Guus: good action list was developed at Bristol f2f
22:06:50 <RalphS> ... would be valuable to merge this
22:06:50 <danbri-laptop> q+
22:07:29 <RalphS> DanBri: I am excited to see the ontologized approach moving along
22:07:48 <RalphS> ... but I'm worried that we're lurching around; feels like independent academic research being reported to the WG
22:08:01 <RalphS> ... how can we better work together to avoid 2-3 month gaps
22:08:12 <RalphS> ... how does Brian's work fit with Aldo's?
22:08:22 <RalphS> Guus: Aldo's email suggests he is building on Brian's work
22:09:02 <RalphS> DanBri: I would like to see more of the discussion on the mailing list
22:09:57 <danbri-laptop> (I wonder whether a dedicated mailing list might help provide a place for dedicated wordnet/semweb collaboration...)
22:09:58 <RalphS> Topic: more on OEP
22:10:57 <RalphS> ACTION Chris: ask Alan to take over the Qualifying Cardinality Restrictions Note from Guus
22:11:18 <danbri-laptop> q?
22:11:21 <Zakim> DanC_, you wanted to ask about previewing the XML Schema discussion, and noting some DAWG stuff
22:12:10 <RalphS> DanC: SPARQL has a lot of symbolic matching
22:12:37 <RalphS> ... but if a variable binds to a number you can test, e.g. greaterThan
22:12:50 <RalphS> ... a set of test cases is being written for SPARQL
22:13:21 <RalphS> ... if SWBPD wants to get involved in this [ref. XML Schema datatypes], this would be a good time
22:13:39 <RalphS> JJC: I met for an hour this week with [@@]
22:13:50 <RalphS> ... found no big disconnects
22:14:10 <RalphS> ... the key issue appears to be at the semantic level of RDF datatype reasoning
22:14:35 <DanC_> q+ to give an example:  does this query win or lose?  ... AND "1/1"^^my:rational != "2/2"^^my:rational
22:14:54 <RalphS> ... e.g. are "1.0"^^integer and "1.0"^^float equal? syntactically yes, real question is at the semantic level
22:15:10 <RalphS> ... we're unlikely to reach an answer before SPARQL goes to Last Call
22:15:19 <RalphS> ... I don't feel this open issue is a show-stopper
22:15:36 <RalphS> DanC: big design principle was to import from XQuery
22:15:43 <Zakim> DanC_, you wanted to give an example:  does this query win or lose?  ... AND "1/1"^^my:rational != "2/2"^^my:rational
22:16:16 <RalphS> s/[@@]/Don Chamberlin/
22:17:00 <RalphS> JJC: in discussing with Don Chamberlin and the SPARQL editors, when we got to a hard question the answer in XQuery was "we structured the language so you can't ask that"
22:17:44 <RalphS> DanC: my example has more to do with open-world vs. closed-world reasoning
22:18:12 <DanC_> "1/1"^^my:rational != "2/2"^^my:rational
22:18:27 <DanC_> not("1/1"^^my:rational = "2/2"^^my:rational)
22:19:08 <RalphS> DanC: one design moved the not to the outside; inner returns False as my:rational was not recognized
22:19:37 <RalphS> ... inner might instead return "don't know"
22:20:20 <RalphS> Stephen Harris: XQuery may use some variation on returning "don't know"
22:21:00 <RalphS> JJC: I also took an action to research how OWL-DL handles unknown datatypes
22:21:23 <RalphS> ... I came away from yesterday's discussions [with SPARQL editors] without a lot of anxiety
22:22:00 <RalphS> DanC: ref. yesterday's plenary discussion about versioning, OWL has some things; might make this more visible
22:22:34 <RalphS> ... could suggest to TAG to look at using OWL versioning for other things
22:22:47 <danbri-laptop> see http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/#Header
22:22:47 <RalphS> Guus: OWL versioning was simple to do
22:23:00 <RalphS> DanC: but the solution is relatively unknown; might be worth an article
22:23:16 <RalphS> TomB: versioning seems to be in scope for Vocab Management
22:23:31 <RalphS> ... would be nice to find a common mechanism that works for SKOS, FOAF, ...
22:23:40 <RalphS> DanC: TAG next meets in June
22:23:41 <danbri-laptop> (hmm OWL Versioning is mixxed up in the Full vs Lite/DL design... Annotation properties etc)
22:24:08 <danbri-laptop> [[
22:24:09 <danbri-laptop> <owl:AnnotationProperty rdf:about="&dc;creator">
22:24:09 <danbri-laptop>   <rdfs:range rdf:resource="&xsd;string"/>
22:24:09 <danbri-laptop> </owl:AnnotationProperty>
22:24:10 <danbri-laptop> ]]
22:24:10 <RalphS> TomB: DCMI has a versioning model but we haven't yet figured out how to formally declare it
22:24:11 <danbri-laptop> etc
22:24:42 <RalphS> ... OWL would be one candidate way to express this
22:24:44 <DanC_> -> http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/#VersionInformation 7.4 Version information in OWL Reference
22:24:57 <RalphS> Chris: but you wouldn't be likely to use the built-in OWL versioning mechanism
22:25:09 <RalphS> ... OWL version has no semantics; it is only annotation
22:25:36 <RalphS> ... I expect [DCMI] wants to write a schema for versioning
22:26:17 <RalphS> DanC: I referred Henry Thompson to Jeff Heflin as the source of the OWL versioning design
22:26:23 <RalphS> Guus: that was correct
