I found it "ugly" 14:13:01 ... one attribute is sufficient; no need for extra hrefblank 14:13:10 q+ We do actually need two attributes. 14:13:17 ... what's hard is providing text for an HTML author who is not RDF-aware to motivate this node id attribute 14:13:35 Steven: you're suggesting a node id attribute that simultaneously defines and references? 14:13:36 q+ to comment on attributes: We do need two 14:13:38 Jeremy: yes 14:14:16 ... in the [October] RDF/A proposal, if there was not a subject in the triple then it was inherited from the context 14:14:58 ... if node id expresses the subject it's possible to default the object and vice-versa 14:15:29 ... while clunky, this achieves the goal of being able to express all of RDF without making things too complicated for an HTML author 14:15:58 ... affected by the complexity of the mapping rules from the XHTML attributes to RDF 14:16:12 ... I felt the [October] RDF/A mapping rules were a bit too complex 14:16:27 MarkB_, you wanted to comment on attributes: We do need two 14:16:52 Mark: I came up with the XPointer solution because I'm pretty sure we do need two attributes 14:17:03 ... RDF/XML does not need two attributes due to its striping syntax 14:17:25 ... in the XHTML mechanism we've tried to make it possible to write a complete triple in a single element 14:18:34 ... Jeremy's suggested defaulting mechanism may work but I'm pretty sure there are cases where you still need two attributes 14:19:43 Mark: aesthetically, bnodes having URIs that are not supposed to be considered as URIs is unaesthetic too 14:20:00 q+ to ask about bnode in doc 14:20:21 Ben: is the bnode section in this editor's draft yet? 14:21:21 Steven: no. the document I cited has RDF/A transformed into XHTML2 style except for the bnode material 14:22:11 ... we've been struggling with finding some mechanism for bnodes that is more aesthetic and that is explicable to HTML authors without referring to the term "bnode" 14:22:17 Jeremy: I agree with that objective 14:23:07 Mark: why would an author use anything other than id="A" and id="B" to refer to anonymous nodes? 14:24:16 ... why should I be worried about any outside use of those names? 14:24:37 ... e.g. I use those names locally, but why should I prevent them from use outside? 14:25:06 zakim, ack me 14:25:06 benadida, you wanted to ask about bnode in doc 14:25:07 ... I think this is a concern more to RDF folk than an HTML author 14:25:08 I see Ralph on the speaker queue 14:25:48 Ben: let's move this discussion to e-mail 14:26:12 Jeremy: at the March face-to-face, Steven suggested that XHTML2 would go to Last Call without addressing this particular issue 14:26:26 ACTION: Ben to move bnode discussion to email list. 14:26:52 Steven: we don't expect any given XHTML spec to have addressed all open issues; we simply have to freeze a document and count remaining open issues as Last Call issues 14:27:14 ... if we didn't do this we'd never get a document out the door; people are always reading new drafts and bringing new issues 14:28:53 Ralph: are the words in the editors' draft now fairly stable? would a careful review be a waste of time? 14:28:57 Steven: not a waste of time 14:29:17 ... people are fixing schema errors now 14:29:27 ... but up to publication there are always the chance of changes 14:29:36 ACTION: Steven to send email about latest draft of RDF/A included in XHTML 2 14:30:34 Steven: the editors' draft cited above has dealt with all the issues from the HTML WG F2F 14:30:45 Topic: Status of Action Items from SWBPD F2F 14:31:12 ACTION BenA: Examples in RDF/XHTML and RDF/XML - use cases 14:31:17 -- continues 14:31:39 Ben: any specific examples you'd like to see, or just use cases? 14:31:43 Steven: use cases good 14:31:59 Mark: OK to give RDF/XML examples and we'll translate them 14:32:24 ... most of the larger examples I've done have been based on RSS and FOAF. These might not express everything 14:32:56 ACTION: Ben to continue past action and provide RDF/XML + english description to Steven and Mark (use cases) 14:33:03 Zakim, mute me 14:33:03 Jeremy should now be muted 14:33:48 action 3=BenA: Provide RDF/XML examples and english description to Steven and Mark (use cases) 14:33:52 action- 4 14:34:23 ACTION: Tom Baker and Gavin to get feedback about use of RDF in XHTML in their respective communities 14:34:25 -- continues 14:34:41 ACTION: DanBri RDF schema for new XHTML2 namespace elements 14:34:42 -- continues 14:34:47 Topic: Next Meeting 14:34:50 Zakim, unmute me 14:34:50 Jeremy should no longer be muted 14:35:12 BenA: let's plan to meet weekly, even if it's a short meeting 14:35:26 -MarkB_ 14:35:26 next meeting: 12 April 14:35:27 Zakim, mute me 14:35:27 Jeremy should now be muted 14:35:32 Topic: GRDDL 14:35:55 Zakim, unmute me 14:35:55 Jeremy should no longer be muted 14:36:07 BenA: discuss f2f feeback; do we need to address a pre-XHTML2 solution? 14:36:20 Jeremy: I'll take an action to get HP feedback 14:36:24 ACTION: Jeremy to ask about need for pre-XHTML 2 solution to RDF-in-HTML problem 14:37:29 BenA: Dan and Dom did a new editor's draft for GRDDL 14:37:40 Ralph: I read the new draft but didn't look at the diffs 14:38:03 Ben: what I gleaned from the email is that typos were fixed 14:38:05 q+ to summarize changelog 14:38:20 ... and specifying what happens if more than one transform is given within a document 14:38:51 Ralph: Dave Beckett announced an implementation 14:39:03 ... Dave asked if multiple tranformations yield a single graph 14:39:10 ... Dom answered in the affirmative 14:40:29 q+ to discuss possible questions to users 14:41:22 Ben: what communities do we need to approach? 14:41:35 ACTION: Ben to ask Tom, Gavin and CC about opinion on GRDDL and pre-XHTML2 14:41:53 Ralph: Creative Commons and Dublin Core are still in the top of our list. 14:42:07 ... we could grow the list but at least we need those two responses 14:42:12 Jeremy, you wanted to summarize changelog and to discuss possible questions to users 14:42:35 Jeremy: I see only editorial changed in the GRDDL changelog 14:43:01 ... should I be asking HP "Is GRDDL useful" or "Do we need a solution to embedding RDF before XHTML2"? 14:43:24 BenA: I think the latter; do we need a solution before XHTML2 and if so, is GRDDL a good way to do this? 14:43:38 Jeremy: the vast majority of HTML on the web is ill-formed, not XML 14:43:54 ... if we're seeking user feedback, it's up to them to define the scope 14:44:22 Ben: I think it's good to cast a wide net to find out user expectations 14:44:40 ... this task force may not last long enough to provide every solution, but please ask 14:48:03 Ralph: Dave Beckett's GRDDL implementation partly answers some questions that Ivan Herman raised in a hallway conversation at the March F2F 14:48:28 ... note that the GRDDL spec says transformations SHOULD be XSLT, not MUST 14:49:00 ... so implementations have to be careful 14:49:21 adjourned 14:49:22 -Steven 14:49:24 -Jeremy 14:49:28 -Ben_Adida 14:49:30 -Ralph 14:49:32 SW_BPD(rdfxhtml)10:00AM has ended 14:49:33 Attendees were Ralph, [IPcaller], benadida, Steven, Jeremy, Ben_Adida 14:53:47 rrsagent, please draft minutes 14:53:47 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2005/04/05-swbp-minutes.html Ralph 14:53:58 rrsagent, please make logs world-visible 14:54:04 rrsagent, bye 14:54:04 I see 7 open action items: 14:54:04 ACTION: Ben to move bnode discussion to email list.
