17:23:09 [Christo]
Christo has joined #swbp
17:24:14 [dbooth]
Ralph: Path of least resistance would be to endorse Tim's solution, then decide what to do about well-known vocabs that do not follow that.
17:25:04 [Ralph]
DavidW: technically the question of server side processing can't be avoided
17:25:07 [dbooth]
DavidW: Need to addresss the issue of server-side processing at the same time though, as many see it as intertwined.

agendum 3. "TF Updates" taken up [from Ralph]
17:36:32 [Ralph]
Topic: 3.1 PORT
17:36:50 [Ralph]
Alistair: comments on SKOS Core have started to trickle in
17:36:56 [aliman]
http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core/proposals
17:37:20 [Ralph]
Alistair: we now have two open proposals; (1) bug fix, (2) some changes in documentation properties
17:37:52 [Ralph]
... re: documentation properties, makes sense to have a single root property and use dc:audience
17:38:15 [Ralph]
... continuing to discuss DanBri's idea to have a property to relate SKOS concepts to OWL individuals
17:38:34 [Ralph]
... we've been asked about how to extend SKOS Core
17:39:02 [Ralph]
... we expected to describe this at a later date, either in a separate note or in the Core Guide itself
17:39:09 [Ralph]
... my current thought is a separate note
17:39:27 [Ralph]
... also questions on how to relate SKOS Core to XML Applications
17:39:39 [Ralph]
... in particular, how to write an XSD for SKOS Core
17:40:20 [Ralph]
... OWL has an alternate XML syntax; does it get used?
17:40:28 [Ralph]
David: yes, I've seen the alternate OWL XML syntax used
17:40:48 [Ralph]
Alistair: NewsML is revising their schema
17:41:45 [Ralph]
... will be hard to use the RDF/XML syntax in these applications
17:41:51 [Ralph]
... I may start to float some ideas
17:42:45 [Ralph]
DBooth: regarding a new XML syntax, are you thinking of one that is already in use or design a new one?
17:43:08 [Ralph]
Alistair: I'm thinking of designing a new syntax that is XML Schema constrained but GRDDL-able
17:44:34 [Ralph]
DBooth: do you expect an XLST transform to be part of the design?
17:44:39 [Ralph]
Alistair: yes
17:47:03 [Ralph]
Ralph: I'm think that design of a new syntax that is as extensible as RDF/XML yet XML Schema validatable is a lot of work
17:47:14 [Ralph]
Alistair: I'm encouraged by the direction of RDF/A
17:47:44 [Ralph]
Topic: 3.2 OEP
17:48:08 [Ralph]
Chris: Specified Values became a WG Note on 17 May
17:48:18 [Ralph]
... still working on n-ary relations document
17:48:33 [Ralph]
... talking about publishing a vocabulary to support n-ary relations note
17:48:53 [Ralph]
... so people who want interoperability between RDF and higher-arity systems have a way to do automatic translation
17:49:05 [Ralph]
... simple part-whole note still pending
17:49:24 [Ralph]
... Jerry Hobbs is now participating and we're talking about turning the OWL Time document into a Note
17:49:35 [Ralph]
... may have something by the end of the month
17:50:05 [Ralph]
... Evan says he has some initial work not yet posted on units & measures
17:50:22 [Ralph]
s/& measures/of measure/
17:51:24 [Ralph]
... "argument number" property was included in the n-ary relations vocabulary to support translation to other formats
17:52:02 [Zakim]
-Alistair_Miles
17:52:05 [Ralph]
... some people felt this vocabulary to support translations to other languages was out of scope for the note
17:52:30 [Ralph]
DavidW: can you satisfy both camps by using this vocabulary in a non-normative example?
17:53:32 [Ralph]
Chris: anyone wanting to translate RDF to a higher-arity system would need such a vocabulary
17:53:51 [Ralph]
Phil: I would like to see this included, as it's important to many
17:54:13 [Ralph]
Chris: the question is about scope; the OEP Note is about particular patterns, not about translation to other languages
17:54:19 [ChrisW]
zakim, who is here?
17:54:19 [Zakim]
On the phone I see DBooth, David_Wood, Ralph, Jeff, Mike, Elisa_Kendall, Phil_Tetlow, Natasha, ChrisW
17:54:21 [Zakim]
On IRC I see dbooth, ChrisW, Natasha, JeffP, RRSAgent, DavidW, BenjaminNguyen, Zakim, Ralph
17:54:37 [Ralph]
DavidW: Best Practices gets to be practical about dealing with issues that are important
17:55:22 [Ralph]
Phil: ordered n-ary patterns are an identifiable pattern
17:55:43 [Ralph]
Natasha: I felt this was out of scope because the Note is not about mapping
17:56:01 [Ralph]
... argument numbers won't satisfy UML mapping
17:56:28 [Ralph]
... would need an additional vocabulary for mapping to languages that represent n-ary relations in other ways [than argument numbers]
17:57:39 [dbooth]
Ralph: It's useful to have examples that help explain this. Need to have a vocabulary with examples. The boundary here is whether the WG proposes a specific vocabulary or provides examples.
17:58:18 [Ralph]
Natasha: there were two parts to the vocabulary and I felt the specific parts dealing with the mapping were out of scope
17:58:30 [Ralph]
Phil: ordered n-ary relations are a valid specialization
17:59:19 [Ralph]
Chris: if we decided it is out of scope for this Note, we could write a separate note
17:59:41 [Zakim]
-DBooth
17:59:43 [Ralph]
... so the question is whether to expand the N-ary relations note or write a separate Note
18:00:08 [Christo]
Christo has joined #swbp
18:00:21 [Ralph]
Mike: would it make sense to use the vocabulary in the examples of the first note and later write a separate note about the vocabulary?
18:01:36 [Ralph]
Natasha: I had two concerns; whether a mapping vocabulary belonged in the N-ary relations note and the systems not covered by the current vocabulary
18:02:18 [Ralph]
Natasha: we might want to tackle other things such as association classes as well
18:02:44 [Ralph]
Mike: I recommend including [only] things that are needed to explain the current N-ary relations note
18:03:08 [Ralph]
Ralph: keep it simple
18:03:38 [Ralph]
Chris: the vocabulary is there for n-ary relations. Separating it into another document may make it harder to find.
18:04:05 [Ralph]
... saying how to represent higher-arity relations in RDF is part of this Note
18:05:06 [Ralph]
Mike: could also write an appendix of what this might look like and the appendix might evenutally expand to a new document
18:05:26 [Ralph]
Chris: I'd rather not take that approach
18:06:18 [Ralph]
Mike: if the material exists, it makes sense to have it all in one place
18:06:45 [Ralph]
Chris: I wouldn't want a half thought-out appendix suggesting a fuller version would follow later
18:08:57 [Ralph]
Ralph: but the partial solution is partial only in that it doesn't cover other cases, as Natasha cites, but you're comfortable for the cases it does cover, right?
18:08:59 [Ralph]
Chris: yes
18:09:15 [Ralph]
Phil: I feel a separate note is better
