-> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/XSCH/xsch-sw-20050127/ XML Schema Datatypes in RDF and OWL
14:15:17 [ivan]
jc: document has not changed much since the first version
14:15:28 [tbaker]
tbaker has joined #swbp
14:15:34 [ivan]
... has been editorial changes, except for when to use what
14:15:40 [ivan]
... that is the only major change
14:15:59 [ivan]
... question: do we publish it?
14:16:01 [wdmcdaniel]
wdmcdaniel has joined #swbp
14:16:13 [ivan]
... two comments: hayes' dawg review
14:16:26 [ivan]
... one small comment from peterson on a mistake i made
14:17:16 [ivan]
... the document was initially was for review the datatypes and to when are two values equal?
14:17:34 [ivan]
... the rdf and owl semantics do not specify that (for float and ints for example)
14:17:47 [ivan]
... xquery/xslt had a problem for the duration
14:18:15 [ivan]
... they were pulled out from the rdf/owl, but xpath2 solves that and the text refers to that
14:18:35 [ivan]
... section 5 is on the use of numeric types is for a different set of readers
14:18:52 [timbl]
timbl has joined #swbp
14:18:53 [ivan]
... it gives some suggestion on when to choose what
14:19:37 [ivan]
... on the user dfeined datatypes the problem is: xml schema gives a mechanism to define his/her own datatypes
14:20:03 [ivan]
... owl/rdf design requires to identify datatypes with URI-s, xml schema do not necessarily do that
14:20:11 [ivan]
... the two will not work together
14:20:29 [ivan]
... we decided to postpone this problem
14:21:02 [ivan]
... there are ways to address this, the issue is more that it covers too many specs
14:21:51 [RalphS]
definitino of adultAge just prior to http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/XSCH/xsch-sw/#sec-daml-soln
14:21:57 [RalphS]
s/tino/tion/
14:21:57 [ivan]
... daml+oil uses the name of a schema type uses the URI of the document plus # and the name to address an element
14:22:25 [ivan]
... that works, there are implementations, it is seriously non aligns with recs
14:23:00 [ivan]
... the problem is what is the frag id in general;, the architecture says that it is up to the document what the frag id is
14:23:35 [danbri2]
danbri2 has joined #swbp
14:23:36 [ivan]
... the daml+oil is nowhere close to what the xml or the xml schema solution might be.
14:24:02 [ivan]
... the second solution is to use xml schema component designators from the xml schema group, currently a stable working draft
14:24:21 [ivan]
msm: the binding vote should be close, close to be in last call
14:24:56 [ivan]
jc: what we trying to do is a pretty basic use case to the xml schema component designator
14:25:09 [MSM]
Current SCDs draft: http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/xmlschema-current/SCD/scds.html
14:25:18 [MSM]
s/draft/editors' draft/
14:25:30 [aliman]
aliman has joined #swbp
14:25:36 [ivan]
... however, because of the generality of the solution, the frag id is pretty complex (based on xpointer)
14:25:54 [ivan]
(jc shows the example in the document)
14:26:28 [ivan]
msm: the change we have made is to make the expression a bit simpler, it will look much more like an xpath expression
14:26:55 [RalphS]
zakim, SWBPD_MeetingRoom also has DanBri, Yoshio_Fukushige

zakim, SWBPD_MeetingRoom also has TimBL
14:27:04 [Zakim]
+TimBL; got it
14:27:20 [ivan]
jc: this is still more complicated than the daml+oil solution, and has difficulties when using n3 which uses qnames
14:27:48 [ivan]
... after the ':' n3 requires n3 names, which does not include '(' and others
14:27:53 [MSM]
...#xscd(/type(adultAge)) becomes ...#xscd(/type::adultAge) -- or, if the type adultAge is assigned to a namespace bound to prefix 'p', ...#xscd(/type::p:adultAge)
14:28:04 [ivan]
... so it will lead to problems with deployed formats
14:28:21 [ivan]
... so it is ugly, but the generality is attractive
14:29:29 [ivan]
jc: there is an issue which is at the hear of pat's comment: according to xsd the component designators are for the simple type definitions
14:29:53 [ivan]
msm: no, the simple type definion is an abstraction
14:30:19 [PatrickS]
Does it identify something that is a member of rdf:Datatype?
14:30:48 [ivan]
the abstractions are what a schema is made of
14:31:20 [ivan]
... the reason it took so long is that the theological work to say that we are pointing at the abstraction and not the xml
14:31:37 [ivan]
... i am not sure whether it was crucial but this is it
14:32:06 [RalphS]
MSM: specifically, the phrase "i.e. referring to the definition rather than to the type defined." is wrong
14:32:49 [ivan]
jc: what is clear is that the way rdf/owl talks on datatypes means that the theological debate is probably unnecessary
14:32:58 [ivan]
... the simple case shouild work
14:33:18 [ivan]
... it does not seem that hard
14:33:46 [ivan]
... i have looked at the xml schema solution and the daml+oil
14:34:11 [MSM]
The "simple type definition" is an abstraction (name, base type definition, facets); we call it a "definition" to distinguish it from the value and lexical space which follow logically from the base type and facets. (Distinction between intension / extension)
14:34:17 [ivan]
... the rfc2316 says you take the url, you get a document with a mime type, and that tells you how to interpre the frag id
14:34:25 [tbaker]
tbaker has joined #swbp
14:35:05 [ivan]
... the xml schema documents are xml documents (appl+xml) the mime type permits a bare name, there is a certain amount of deployed experience
14:35:38 [ivan]
... with bnare name, with a name after the '#' and that is an xml id, and that the frag id refers to the xml element
14:35:56 [RalphS]
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/XSCH/xsch-sw/#sec-id-attr
14:35:59 [ivan]
... we could modify the xml schema to put an id on
14:36:33 [ivan]
... then the daml+oil solution is close to a solution. At least to me it does not seem to be so theologically unsound to do that
14:36:56 [ivan]
to use the the same uri to address the datatype described with that portion of xml
14:37:20 [ivan]
... pat's makes a difference between the xml datatype and the note in the rdf semantics
14:37:25 [gmckenzi]
gmckenzi has joined #swbp
14:38:04 [ivan]
.. in my view the id solution is probably a good solution. the xml schema designators one is the general solution, but if you own the xml schema file, than using id seems to be better
14:38:18 [ivan]
... however, there is a theological debate around this
14:38:25 [ivan]
.. that is the issue
14:39:02 [ivan]
guus: you propose is to say in our document is to stick an id into the xml schema if you own it
14:39:09 [RalphS]
-> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swbp-wg/2005Feb/0118.html Jeremy's reply to Pat Hayes' comments
14:39:36 [ivan]
jc: the document seeks opinions. My personal opinion is that the use of the id and the designator solution is optimal
14:40:01 [ivan]
timbl: rdf/xml says that its ID overrides the xml things
14:40:06 [HiroyukiS]
HiroyukiS has joined #SWBP
14:40:09 [ivan]
... schema would do the same thing
14:40:13 [RalphS]
-> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2005JanMar/0192.html Pat Hayes' comments
14:40:27 [ivan]
... so you cannot use the bare names you could not use it to refer to a chunk of xml
14:40:51 [ivan]
... would that be such a departure that it would horrify
14:40:55 [RalphS]
TimBL: a schema could have a MIME type definition which defines that the fragids identify the type, not definition of it (like for rdf/xml)
14:41:25 [ivan]
msm: what could help the working group: what has thus far kept us to go is that registering a mime type is a mine field
14:41:44 [ivan]
.. the procedure is now shorter, so that may be feasible, and I can take that back to the group
14:42:12 [ivan]
... but there is a concern: i can imagine wanting to talk about simple type definiton and the xml element used to declare it
14:42:37 [ivan]
if we make the ability to point depending to the mime type i loose the ability to refer to the xml element itself
14:43:19 [ivan]
... jc's id solution means refers not to what we have but to something that is adjacent, because you know what it means
14:43:31 [ivan]
... in the strict sense it relies on a processor
14:43:44 [guus]
q?
14:44:42 [ivan]
... i would suggest that strictly speaking all of the bits in the scud (schema component designator): it is a problem that it is longer via xscd, but this tells you exactly via the xpointer mechanism what the exact id is
14:45:02 [ivan]
... it addresses the fact that it refers to an element adultAge.
14:45:32 [ivan]
... in any practical context, they add a prefix to distinguish a prefix to avoid name collision
14:45:55 [ivan]
... so I agree it is longer, but it is semantically simpler
14:46:24 [ivan]
patrick: i am all for to have semantically meaningful, can we handle that using a namespace
14:46:27 [ChrisW]
zakim, who is on the phone?

14:46:38 [ivan]
jc: in rdf/xml you can use entities, and that works fine
14:46:54 [ivan]
... but in n3 does not have qname abbreviation
14:47:02 [ChrisW]
jeff - we're hearing background noise
14:47:06 [ChrisW]
can you mute?
14:47:14 [ivan]
.. if the last character is not a proper one
14:47:25 [ivan]
patrick: is there a way around that, updating n3?
14:47:26 [JeffP]
thanks
14:48:14 [ivan]
timbl: ')' is used for punctuation, you could put an entirely URI there, you could talk to ROy to see how that framework works
14:48:16 [timbl]
q+ to suggest that regarding a schema as a higher-level langauge than an XML document is
14:49:02 [ivan]
patrick: it is really important not to loose focus on how people using datatypes can do that
14:49:16 [MSM]
One possibly relevant fact: like XPath, SCDs will have short-forms, so "/type::p:adultAge" can be abbreviated to "/~p:adultAge" and "/attribute::p:adultAge" can be abbreviated to "/@p:adultAge"
14:49:22 [ivan]
... the best practice using xml schemas should fit in a larger way of using datatypes in general
14:49:51 [ivan]
... you can use some other mechanism (java etc), we should also talk about abstractions and not only that particular processor
14:49:58 [timbl]
q+ to suggest that regarding a schema as a higher-level langauge than an XML document is sensible. One can't and shouldn't keep all the layers visible. A similar comparison could be made between plain text and xml. The use of the # name also allows content negotation among many languages
14:50:19 [Zakim]
timbl, you wanted to suggest that regarding a schema as a higher-level langauge than an XML document is and to suggest that regarding a schema as a higher-level langauge than an
14:50:22 [Zakim]
... XML document is sensible. One can't and shouldn't keep all the layers visible. A similar comparison could be made between plain text and xml. The use of the # name also
14:50:24 [Zakim]
... allows content negotation among many languages
14:50:45 [danbri2]
(I'm v intrigued by "The use of the # name also allows content negotation among many languages")
14:50:48 [ivan]
timbl: you can look at schema represents an infoset
14:51:02 [ivan]
... you can always go back to the source and make a link
14:51:33 [ivan]
... the schema defines types, it is not xml it is a schema language
14:51:46 [ivan]
... if they want to use it as xml, then it could be served as xml
14:52:25 [ivan]
(scribe has given up...)
14:53:09 [ivan]
msm: as long as there is a way to get 'back', you want to optimize and choose the opt. points wisely, so optimizing chooising the declaration rather than xml is o.k.
14:53:20 [ivan]
... but tehre are some unexploded mines:-(
14:54:23 [RalphS]
MSM: typo in 2.4 -- should be base="xsd:integer"
14:54:24 [ivan]
... consider your example it points to another type (integer) for the restriction
14:54:40 [ivan]
... any processor would have a complete udnerstanding of adultAge
14:54:57 [ivan]
... the problem is when the base is not integer, but my:humanAge, for example
14:55:09 [ivan]
... if humanAge is declared in another schema document
14:55:30 [ivan]
... then depending how this is done, I may end up combining this with version 1 or version 2
14:55:50 [ivan]
... so the result is that the source declaration can end up with different interpreations
14:55:55 [PatrickS]
+q
14:56:08 [PatrickS]
q+
14:56:16 [ivan]
... strictly speaking the definition defines adultAge in context of the full schema
14:56:32 [ivan]
... we do not have version solution, so we do not have a good solution for this
14:56:51 [ivan]
.. if the base type is an xsd: one or is in the same document, you do not ahve a problem
14:57:31 [ivan]
patricks: in the example you give, I would assert that is not a problem as long as you use different names
14:57:39 [ivan]
... you are talking about two different abstractions
14:57:59 [Zakim]
RalphS, you wanted to ask TimBL to what degree the semantics are designated by the mime type vs. namespaces
14:58:55 [ivan]
ralphs: tim's notion to use mime types to explain the semantics of the document is fine, but maybe there may be a tag issue on whether the semantics are carried through the namespaces
14:59:20 [ivan]
q+
14:59:31 [MSM]
Patrick, yes, in principle. But consider situations like that of the HTML namespace. The abstraction 'p element' is (according to community practice) regarded as a single abstraction. But the legal contents are specified one way in the transitional definition, and a different way in the strict definition.
15:00:25 [RalphS]
IvanH: do you want to use xml:id rather than id ?
15:00:28 [timbl]
schema:id
15:00:38 [ivan]
ivan: you may want to use xml:id
15:00:38 [danbri2]
(tim's right; it's a philosophical not theological discussion)
15:00:51 [ivan]
jc: second issue is practially more difficult
15:01:03 [ivan]
.. is the comparison of floats and decimals
15:01:39 [ivan]
... within xml schema there primitive types and the other simple types that are derived by restriction
15:01:41 [RalphS]
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/XSCH/xsch-sw/#sec-values
15:01:50 [ivan]
... eg decimal is arbitrary long
15:02:09 [ivan]
... there are around 17 primitive tupes
15:02:35 [ivan]
... all the relevant specs are clear that when you derive from a type the underlying semantics does not change
15:02:57 [ivan]
... rdf/xml are agnostic on the issue whether 1.0 integer is the same as an 1.0 decimal
15:03:20 [ivan]
... xml schema is geared to a specific use case: schema processing
15:03:29 [ivan]
... in that case it is fine
15:03:43 [ivan]
msm: we are required to describe validation precisely
15:04:22 [ivan]
... the schema position is: yes these are quantitative values, 1.0 has obvious relationsships to 1
15:04:32 [ivan]
... they are not identical for schema purposes
15:04:57 [ivan]
...and applications may (eg, xpath2.0 operators) do more
15:05:10 [ivan]
... schema is a bit like an assembly language
15:05:41 [ivan]
... nothing prevents an application to define casting
15:05:46 [ivan]
... rdf can do that
15:06:14 [ivan]
jc: solution #1: to do exactly waht schema does, ie, they are different
15:06:49 [ivan]
solution #3: xml schema gives you a mathematical specification
15:07:08 [ivan]
use that
15:07:28 [ivan]
... that would also be a very purist line, but may not be useful, it has surprises
15:07:56 [ivan]
... solution #2: xpath has solved the problem, they have defined 'eq', so use that
15:08:13 [ivan]
... although there are surprises because 'eq' is not transitive, for example
15:08:22 [ivan]
... it might be a show stopper
15:08:40 [ivan]
... at some level a choice has to be made
15:08:54 [ivan]
... we may be lucky and get a good feedback
15:09:06 [ivan]
guus: the schema people would prefer #1?
15:09:25 [danbri2]
q+ to ask how this relates to RDFS range of eg:ageInYears
15:09:25 [ivan]
msm: none of the 3 solution would cause a problem for us
15:10:08 [danbri2]
q-
15:10:30 [ivan]
q+
15:10:56 [RalphS]
IvanH: DAWG has chosen the XPath solution
15:11:09 [RalphS]
... it would be nice if SWBPD did not give totally different advice than DAWG
15:11:25 [RalphS]
JJC: DAWG is doing something slightly different; they're specifying semantics of a query language, not of the underlying data
15:11:33 [danbri2]
q+ to ask which xpath (1.0 or 2.0 datamodel) DAWG use, and whether that matters here?
15:11:45 [RalphS]
IvanH: they're defining a quality of the underlying resources
15:12:00 [RalphS]
JJC: this may rule out the purist option
15:12:41 [ivan]
msm: strictly speaking what qt does is to define an operator called 'eq' and you may define it as you want
15:13:03 [guus]
ack danbri
15:13:03 [Zakim]
danbri, you wanted to ask which xpath (1.0 or 2.0 datamodel) DAWG use, and whether that matters here?
15:13:12 [ivan]
danbri: the dawg guys are commited xpath 1 or 2?
15:13:21 [RalphS]
s/commited/commited to/
15:13:23 [ivan]
jc: 2, they are using the operators of xpath2
15:13:37 [ivan]
guus: does not that influence your choice?
15:13:58 [ivan]
jc: it will make it the xpath solution more attractive, but may not be the only one
15:14:17 [ivan]
guus: but it would be very strange if there are two different interpretations
15:14:29 [ivan]
... might be useful to talk to the dawg people on that
15:14:41 [ivan]
jc: i had already some discussions, but not conclusive yet
15:14:45 [PatrickS]
q+

brief examples are fine to illustrate each of the approaches. for the final summary and choice of preferred approach, then it would be good to have a more complete example

discussion of http range
18:40:41 [aliman_scribe]
everybody agrees that when you do a GET on an http URI you get a representation of a resource
18:40:47 [aliman_scribe]
(jjc talking)
18:41:32 [aliman_scribe]
... dc:creator is a URI without a #
18:42:35 [DavidW]
TOPIC: TAG Issues.
18:42:55 [DavidW]
SUBTOPIC: HTTP range (# vs. /)
18:43:10 [aliman_scribe]
... one school of thought says that, because slash URI is gettable, it necessarily ... scribe lost
18:44:05 [aliman_scribe]
timbl: http scem is a scheme of documents ...
18:46:04 [aliman_scribe]
jjc: can slash URIs be used for abstract things ?
18:46:37 [aliman_scribe]
jjc: for this group the issue is important because dc & foaf use slash, but if http range goes with hash these things are broken
18:47:12 [aliman_scribe]
timbl: http slash uris necessarily denote documents (information resource)
18:47:25 [aliman_scribe]
jjc: interested in published subjects
18:48:16 [aliman_scribe]
... http range decision breaks pubsub
18:48:21 [aliman_scribe]
aliman: says no it doesn't
18:48:27 [DavidW]
The TAG refers to this issues as "HTTP Range 14": http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/issues.html#httpRange-14
18:48:37 [aliman_scribe]
pepper: we have one class of things: resources (RDF speak)
18:48:48 [aliman_scribe]
... other class of things that have location (addresses)
18:49:00 [aliman_scribe]
timbl: information objects have information content
18:49:17 [aliman_scribe]
pepper: information resources necessarily have an address
18:49:27 [aliman_scribe]
timbl: but does the bible have an address?
18:49:38 [aliman_scribe]
info resource is not necessarily addressable

jjc: also problem of large vocabs - large download problem
18:53:18 [aliman_scribe]

jjc: so we could break up wordnet to make retrieval doable ...

draft idea: The WG believes that the practice of identifying RDF/OWL terms and vocabularies with non-# HTTP-URIs is consistent with http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-webarch-20041215/ and RFC 3986. It notes that such practice is very widespread, but that there remains some uncertainty in the W3C community on this topic and that this uncertainty is having a damaging effect on SW deployment efforts.

20:09:15 [FabGandon]
Libby: criteria are really needed and should be clear (also opinion of Eric Miller) example : open source only - may be too restrictive. Should we include resources for developers only? Resources for promotional exercise? Just examples in general? Is it possible to constrain the audience? Guus you are the one to use it a lot?
20:09:16 [FabGandon]
Guus: Distinction like Company uses semantic web for internal systems. (close environment) versus used in open web environment.
20:09:18 [FabGandon]
20:09:19 [FabGandon]
Ivan: Fujitsu report is internal for instance?
20:09:21 [FabGandon]
Guus: Aerospace industry example ... no longer existing.
20:09:22 [FabGandon]
Bill: the internal vs. external distinction may not be relevant because an internal application may be affecting hundreds of peoples behind the firewall of the company.
20:09:24 [FabGandon]
Steven: a distinction could be "do you control the data?"
20:09:26 [FabGandon]
Libby: the real problem is to define the criteria for including/excluding someone in/from the repository
20:09:28 [FabGandon]
Gavin: it seems we are still trying to find criteria to narrow the scope. We must make the difference with finding criteria/attribute to view/navigate/sort database.
20:09:31 [FabGandon]
Libby: provide the list in OWL/RDF and readable format => list is unreadable => facetted browser would be much better. Not even sure we have to scale it down really.
20:09:34 [FabGandon]
Guus: application domain is another criterion.
20:09:36 [FabGandon]
Bill: yes it's natural / sensible ... for instances application is doing data mining / etc.
20:09:38 [FabGandon]
Guus: yes but also application domains e.g. medical domain / product selling / ...
20:09:41 [FabGandon]
Bill: protect privacy, etc.
20:09:42 [FabGandon]
Fabien: I use the application domain to answer questions for instance for the W3C communication (I am meeting wit someone in Bioinformatics, what semantic web applications do you have in this domain?)
20:09:45 [FabGandon]
Gavin: aren't there other directories we could learn from, the way they categorize, from their schemas, etc.
20:09:46 [timbl]
Jeremy, the note will presumably describe an alternative architecture, and how it affects existing applications?
20:09:47 [FabGandon]
Ivan: there are some e.g. Semantic Web Board, etc. afraid of duplicating
20:09:49 [FabGandon]
Ivan: Dangerous path to count too much on W3C endorsement, and what happens when the TF stops?
20:09:51 [FabGandon]
Guus: ok let's stop the TF :-)
20:09:53 [FabGandon]
Ivan: who will maintain?
20:09:55 [FabGandon]
Libby: use DOAP and leave it to the users to maintain it.
20:09:57 [FabGandon]
Gavin: why do we need this repository?
20:09:59 [FabGandon]
Guus: a list of application is the most frequently asked question by people!

20:10:03 [FabGandon]
Steven: that's what we do in our project (AKT project) list of URL of descriptions scanned every night.
20:10:05 [FabGandon]
Bill: we want no maintenance.
20:10:10 [FabGandon]
Libby: we may be too ambitious. Small descriptions (a pointer and a sentence) only with a pointer and people can use it to harvest.
20:10:10 [FabGandon]
Ivan: but somebody has to do it? What will happen in three years?
20:10:12 [FabGandon]
Fabien: two different problems: get a list and find a way to maintain it after the end of the TF/WG.
20:10:14 [FabGandon]
Libby: may be we won't need it in three years. :-)
20:10:16 [FabGandon]
Gavin: for the description how we get it?
20:10:18 [FabGandon]
Fabien: just from the form to generate your DOAP file.
20:10:20 [FabGandon]
Gavin: simple interface to accept the submission that could be used by someone else in three years.
20:10:22 [FabGandon]
Ivan: if this something that could lead to a significant collection not only for us geeks?
20:10:24 [FabGandon]
People are not interested in geeky stuff like FOAF, they are interested in the Photoshop example.
20:10:26 [FabGandon]
Gavin: distinction between project and products. Our product line use XMP can I put everything inside?
20:10:28 [FabGandon]
Ivan: as an admin I would say please put only one item.
20:10:30 [FabGandon]
Gavin: pointer to a technology vs. project vs. product
20:10:33 [FabGandon]
Guus: is there a particular type of selection to show the added value?
20:10:34 [FabGandon]
Ivan: still in the phase where we have to convince people that there are a lot of applications out there.
20:10:36 [FabGandon]
Libby: may be we should just focus on getting a number of them in the list. First priority.
20:10:41 [FabGandon]
Gavin & Ivan: only members should be able to put commercial products.
20:10:41 [FabGandon]
Libby: if require the RDF description that may slow-down the flow of descriptions.
20:10:42 [FabGandon]
Also recall that the criteria have to be precise.
20:10:44 [FabGandon]
Gavin: true if we could come up with the right criteria in the first place, but that won't happen. So it is not that important.
20:10:47 [FabGandon]
Libby: RDF and OWL applications only?
20:10:49 [FabGandon]
Ivan: for the time being only RDF and OWL.
20:10:51 [FabGandon]
Guus: I agree.
20:10:53 [FabGandon]
Bill: concerning the classification, right now we have not so many applications, so we may be trying to classify in the vacuum.
20:10:57 [FabGandon]
Fabien: an extensible flat list where users can add missing domains would be ok, if it grows then we can reorganize it latter (topic ontology :-))
20:10:59 [FabGandon]
Libby: summarizing = we stay with web log + we try to set up some tools for task force administration tasks (accept a description) + provide support for DOAP + maintain a simple list of DOAP files in the blog.
20:11:02 [FabGandon]
Andreas: will the list be available in RDF.
20:11:04 [FabGandon]
Ivan & Libby: Yes
20:11:08 [FabGandon]
Andreas, Ivan and Stephen: RSS is not really an RDF application since there are syntaxes in just XML (not in RDF)
20:11:11 [FabGandon]
Guus: but it cannot be ignored as an application that uses RDF.
20:11:13 [FabGandon]
Bill: cannot submit just an ontology; the application submitted must actually do something.

20:57:23 [RalphS]
... technical arguments would make a stronger point
20:57:43 [RalphS]
Guus: my assignment is to chair a deployment group
20:57:59 [RalphS]
... if deployment issues don't count, why are we here?
20:58:13 [RalphS]
David: this message is going to the TAG, not specifically to TimBL
20:58:22 [guus]
q?
20:58:24 [RalphS]
Patrick: this is a request to the TAG for closure, not consensus
20:59:21 [RalphS]
... the TAG can close on the issue with dissent (if necessary)
21:00:04 [RalphS]
---- closing summaries ---
21:00:16 [RalphS]
Guus: there were 17 documents on the reading list for this f2f
21:00:34 [RalphS]
... we should all be glad with the progress over the last 4 months
21:00:41 [RalphS]
... we should look forward to closing some of our Task Forces; this would be a positive
21:00:53 [RalphS]
... glad to see nice collaboration on UML and Topic Maps
21:01:26 [RalphS]
PROPOSE to cancel 10 March telecon, next telecon 24 March
