- 12:54:48 [ht]
- TBL: Trying to identify the primary hooks we're hanging the SW on, writing them up and connecting things to existing WebArch
- 12:55:35 [ht]
- ... Lots of discussion of philosophy in the SW community, some tensions particularly with the folk from the KR and logic communities, but those tensions have been easing
- 12:56:04 [ht]
- ... The existing documents are not easy to work with as they stand
- 12:56:18 [ht]
- ... We can try to pull out some principles, write some stories
- 12:56:38 [Norm]
- Norm has joined #tagmem

- -> http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/Primer Primer: Getting into RDF & Semantic Web using N3
- 12:58:01 [ht]
- ... There is a standalone, non-XML, intro to the SW -- interested to get review of this from relative newcomers
- 12:58:14 [timbl]
- http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/Primer
- 12:58:54 [timbl]
- ht, vq
- 12:59:07 [ht]
- Action: HST, VQ to review the primer
- 13:00:20 [timbl]
- http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/doc/
- 13:00:31 [ht]
- TBL: Would like three reviewers for the first page, and at least one for the whole tutorial
- 13:01:10 [ht]
- q+ to project a logic story and ask for parallels
- 13:01:39 [ht]
- TBL: It's in various forms. . .

- Action: TBL revise http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/HTTP-URI.html
- 13:04:28 [ht]
- TBL: Most recent SW talk has become more software engineering orientated. . .
- 13:04:39 [noah_home]
- Noah notes that http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/HTTP-URI.html comes pretty close to bearing on the questions he (Noah) asked yesterday regarding the relationship of schemes and protocols
- 13:04:57 [timbl]
- http://www.w3.org/2005/Talks/0517-boit-tbl/
- 13:05:09 [timbl]
- Talk to bio-IT conference with some softweare engineering pictures
- 13:05:35 [ht]
- ack DanC
- 13:05:35 [Zakim]
- DanC_lap, you wanted to note 2 principles of RDF that I think our audience should know about: (1) taking "use URIs" all the way (and not stopping at qnames) for reusability (2)
- 13:05:38 [Zakim]
- ... partial understanding, which has big impact on extensibility/versioning
- 13:05:44 [Vincent]
- ack DanC_lap
- 13:06:16 [ht]
- DanC: Frustrated at people reinventing RDF -- at least do it well
- 13:06:43 [ht]
- ... Given any RDF document, any subset of the triples there stand on their own
- 13:06:54 [ht]
- ... Adding triples never hurt
- 13:07:28 [ht]
- NM: Can't I add a negation of a triple -- that can't be ignorable
- 13:07:53 [ht]
- HST: Negation requires re-ification, I believe
- 13:08:24 [ht]
- HST: Stopping at qnames means what?
- 13:10:20 [ht]
- DanC: E.g. schemas, lots of things have QNames, but knowing a QName is not enough to be able to point to something unequivocably
- 13:11:32 [ht]
- TBL: [diagram on whiteboard] Standards-based bus -- raw RDF, GRDDL-derived RDF, RDF queries. . .
- 13:11:53 [DanC_lap]
- (I suppose one could refer to " that XML Schema type whose namespace name is X and whose localname is N"... I'm not sure if that approach has been exhaustively tried)
- 13:12:32 [ht]
- ... triple-stores, RDBs exposed as XML or RDF, XMLDBs, all projecting RDF on to the bus
- 13:12:48 [DanC_lap]
- (norm, have you heard of ,timbl? )
- 13:14:20 [ht]
- ... Apps bit on top of the bus -- browsers, aggregators, inference engines
- 13:16:18 [ht]
- ... Both data sources and apps may need 'adapters' to convert to/from RDF
- 13:17:57 [Vincent]
- ack ht
- 13:17:57 [Zakim]
- ht, you wanted to project a logic story and ask for parallels
- 13:18:00 [ht]
- ack q+
- 13:18:26 [DanC_lap]
- (I've been wondering if the TAG should take a 20 minute course in model theory)
- 13:20:01 [timbl]
- http://www.w3.org/2005/Talks/0517-boit-tbl/#[18] and floowing slides have bits of this
- 13:23:56 [DanC_lap]
- HT gives a 4-slide presentation on traditional definition of a logic
- 13:34:26 [DanC_lap]
- (did ht already put a pointer to these slides in the record?)
- 13:36:36 [DanC_lap]
- (it was slides N thru 7 )
- 13:42:52 [timbl]
- dretske
- 13:43:03 [DanC_lap]
- TBL asks if shannon:information has been connected to frege:model-theory
- 13:43:13 [ht]
- Knowledge and the Flow of Information
- 13:43:21 [DanC_lap]
- HT replies with a reference to Dretske, Fred I. Knowledge and the Flow of Information. as cited from http://www.press.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/hfs.cgi/00/14537.ctl
- 13:44:33 [DanC_lap]
- a nearby article nominated by google is http://www.ils.unc.edu/~losee/b5/book5.html
- 13:44:49 [ht]
- TBL: Example of communication as reduction in uncertainty [= entropy?] by conveying information
- 13:46:22 [ht]
- Action: HST to recommend intro to Dretske thought
- 13:46:57 [DanC_lap]
- DC asks HT whether " A Discipline Independent
- 13:46:57 [DanC_lap]
- Definition of Information" has the relevant info; HT is unable to confirm
- 13:48:07 [ht]
- TBL: People working with different subsets of a patchwork of information in an unbounded set
- 13:48:25 [ht]
- ... Each agent can take care of the local consistency of the information it is working with
- 13:48:41 [DanC_lap]
- (I think the nearest point on the TAG agenda at this point of the discussion is http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/issues.html#rdfURIMeaning-39 )
- 13:48:52 [ht]
- ... Using URIs as individuals in more than on logic
- 13:49:20 [ht]
- ... Some of the logics have inconsistencies
- 13:49:30 [ht]
- s/inconsistencies/inconsistent/
- 13:50:36 [ht]
- NM: People are making statements (in different logics) which all use URIs
- 13:51:10 [ht]
- ... Sentential forms are out there, in bits of Prolog, DescriptionLogic, .. . .
- 13:52:19 [ht]
- ... Problem is combining these
- 13:52:38 [ht]
- HST: Not quite -- RDF triples are independent of all those -- they are what they are
- 13:53:32 [ht]
- TBL: Architectural rule: To understand a triple, take the predicate, look it up on the web, if the result is english, then at least _you_ know what it means
- 13:53:56 [ht]
- ... If you find an OWL class, your computer may be able to do things
- 13:54:43 [ht]
- NM: Lots of triples out there, for some subset of them, I'll be able to reason about them in a useful way, maybe because they are all using OWL-defined predicate
- 13:55:09 [ht]
- ... But if some are like that, and some are defined e.g. in French, combining them isn't going to work very well
- 13:55:20 [ht]
- ... That's a problem in practice, but not in principle. . .
- 13:56:03 [ht]
- NM: What about the prolog approach?
- 13:56:44 [ht]
- DC: { :timbl :carowner :xyzzy } --- look up :carowner, find ...[scribe coulnd't keep up]
- 13:56:57 [ht]
- ... The unit of meaning on the web is a document
- 13:57:41 [ht]
- NM: In practice, then, the same triples in one document may have a different impact than the same triples divided over several documents
- 13:57:43 [ht]
- DC: Yes
- 13:58:39 [ht]
- TBL: Philosophers think they've gone beyond this, believe they exhausted the rigid meaning approach in favour of some kind of meaning-as-use approach
- 13:58:54 [ht]
- ... So they think the SW story is too simple and are a bit dismissive
- 13:59:20 [ht]
- NM: Squishy
- 13:59:57 [ht]
- TBL: Semantic web is going to be very un-squishy -- if you send a particular XDI message, the tags have a very firm pre-negotiated meaning
- 14:00:07 [DanC_lap]
- DC: rdfURIMeaning-39 is on our issues list because... when you look up :carowner, you'll find a document that says, e.g. carowner is a property, and it's a subproperty of uniform-commercial-code:owner, etc. But what if that defining document also says "and Reagan is a great president"; does use of :carowner involve assent to that statement as well? The extreme other position is: no... I can use any URI I like to mean whatever meaning I like, irrespective
- 14:00:07 [DanC_lap]
- of what infromation its owner publishes
- 14:00:23 [ht]
- ... In RDF, all you need is the pre-negotiated meaning about the RDF framework, you can look up the predicates
- 14:01:29 [ht]
- TBL: What we need for the arch doc is an answer to the question of what you're committing yourself to when you send someone an RDF document
- 14:01:52 [ht]
- ... When you chase the predicate links, you eventually converge on a small number of meta-ontologies
- 14:02:06 [ht]
- ... Not of course the same when you chase the subject and object URIs
- 14:02:22 [ht]
- ... So what's a best practice in this area. . .?
- 14:02:55 [ht]
- VQ: Useful intro/overview of the space
- 14:03:17 [ht]
- ... What do we do next, beyond looking at the tutorial
- 14:04:06 [Norm]
- q+ to suggest that what we really need are the Dirk and Nadia stories
- 14:04:21 [ht]
- ... Should we use the tutorial as a starting point for the architecture?
- 14:04:25 [Norm]
- ack norm
- 14:04:25 [Zakim]
- Norm, you wanted to suggest that what we really need are the Dirk and Nadia stories
- 14:04:37 [ht]
- TBL: No, I think it's not directly in the architectural direction
- 14:05:34 [ht]
- NDW: I regularly get pushback from e.g. people in Sun as to what the value of all this is and why it's worth the overhead -- a good Dirk&Nadia story or two is really needed to address this
- 14:05:54 [ht]
- NM: How much of this is really within the TAG's remit. . .
- 14:06:12 [ht]
- DC: Let's tell stories that connect SW to issues on our issues list
- 14:06:35 [ht]
- NM: SW interesting because/when it connects to the Web as a whole -- e.g. httpRange-14
- 14:06:56 [ht]
- ... Comfort level goes way up in that case
- 14:07:13 [ht]
- ... How do we connect the world of logic to the world of the Web
- 14:08:25 [ht]
- HST: Otherwise it's not obvious how SW connects to our customers, as identified as the W3C WGs
- 14:08:52 [ht]
- DC: ATOM isn't our WG, but they sure need this help -- they've reinvented RDF several times!
- 14:09:33 [ht]
- NDW: ATOM has cut most of that loose -- they also could have done much of it with RDF, but they didn't believe it was usable in practice
- 14:10:25 [ht]
- TBL: practicality, and XML RDF syntax
- 14:10:33 [ht]
- HST: Not our problem, c.f. XML and entities
- 14:11:27 [DanC_lap]
- agenda + WS Description and "safety"
- 14:12:16 [ht]
- NM: Well, if we thought it was so important that it was going to break the web
- 14:12:30 [ht]
- ... then it would be our remit
- 14:13:17 [ht]
- VQ: Agreement that we need some stories, particularly if they make the connection
- 14:13:45 [ht]
- DC: Tension between the SW architecture and the XML architecture
- 14:14:13 [ht]
- ... How to know when to solve your problems by manipulating XML with the XML tools, vs. using the SW arch
- 14:15:08 [ht]
- ... There's a whole XPath-based application development worldview outthere, with hardware accelerators and so on
- 14:15:37 [ht]
- HST: And Norm and I want to get the XML Processing working group going, because we think processing XML as XML is good and needs a standard
- 14:15:55 [ht]
- DC: So that view competes seriously with the RDF architecture
- 14:16:06 [ht]
- TBL: And AJAX competes also
- 14:16:23 [Norm]
- TBL: building XML support into your programming language competes with building RDF support into your language
- 14:17:54 [ht]
- DC: Is XML Proc WG going to look at XDuce and things like that?
- 14:18:27 [ht]
- HST: No, document level, not lower, is way to get consensus quickly, lots of existing specs/tools at that levels
- 14:21:03 [ht]
- TBL: Dirk has some RDF triples, Nadia adds some, doesn't get in Dirk's way
- 14:21:12 [ht]
- HST: I want a story about a problem solved
- 14:22:50 [ht]
- ... It's where the people who have problems with the perceived impracticality of RDF processing hit the buffers
- 14:23:01 [ht]
- NDW: Paul and Paula example, phonebook rules
- 14:24:04 [ht]
- TBL list from whiteboard: Stories: Versioning; Looking up predicates; Data merge; Ontology link; Inference (phonebook)
- 14:25:09 [Norm]
- The core of the story is that I have two address book entries for Paul and Paula because they have different work phone numbers. I use RDF inference to avoid having to duplicate the home phone numbers in each record.
- 14:25:32 [ht]
- DC: NDW did View Source on his website, showing that he imported 27 different RDF sources and used them
- 14:25:45 [Norm]
- The URI for the data Dan is referring to is http://norman.walsh.name/knows/norman.walsh.name.rdf
- 14:25:55 [ht]
- ... No way you could do that in vernacular XML w/o writing code
- 14:34:46 [ht]
- TAG looks at http://norman.walsh.name/knows/norman.walsh.name.rdf
- 14:35:08 [ht]
- ... which aggregates a lot of information from different sources
- 14:35:28 [ht]
- TBL: HST, how can you combine XML information from many namespaces
- 14:35:41 [ht]
- HST: Just do it, combine the docs under a common root
- 14:35:55 [timbl]
- DC: But then common references are not evident
- 14:35:58 [ht]
- DC: But you can't cross refer from one part to another
- 14:36:21 [ht]
- HST: Show me an example of that in Norm's doct
- 14:36:43 [ht]
- NDW: look at e.g. http://norman.walsh.name/1998/04/images/canaldish
- 14:37:02 [ht]
- NM: Purchase order example. . .
- 14:37:42 [ht]
- ... Schemas are just a tool, to help people build systems
- 14:38:22 [ht]
- ... Versioning work is directed at handling the common cases of language evolution, finding what the mechanisms system builders want
- 14:39:43 [ht]
- TBL: When the computer hits the unexpected code, it doesn't know what it is
- 14:40:59 [ht]
- NM: Schema allows some hooks via annotation, but doesn't guarantee that different parties will agree the annotation's meaning
- 14:41:33 [ht]
- TBL: RDF hasn't done much in the direction of required/desired/notallowed kinds of meta-information about predicates
- 14:44:08 [ht]
- NM: XML focus is historically on syntax, does that ccode goes at the end of the element or the beginning
- 14:44:28 [ht]
- ... RDF has less emphasis on ordering
- 14:45:34 [ht]
- NDW: RDF does versioning easily for what it does, but doesn't help much if at all with versioning XML languages
- 14:47:24 [ht]
- TBL: yes -- RDF versioning is much easier
- 14:48:44 [DanC_lap]
- NDW discovers that x can be redirected to a#b . HT asks: what if I'm looking up x#q ?
- 14:51:28 [ht]
- HST: I understood DC to say that XML 'solved the versioning' problem, which I think Norm was disputing, but I guess DC meant it 'disolved' the versioning problme, that is, by moving to RDF you avoid most of XML's versioning problems
- 14:51:40 [ht]
- DC, TBL: the latter, pretty much
- 14:51:42 [ht]

- agendum 5 closed
- 15:15:13 [Zakim]
- I see 6 items remaining on the agenda; the next one is
- 15:15:15 [Zakim]
- 1. namespaceDocument-8 [from DanC_lap]
- 15:15:18 [DanC_lap]
- Zakim, next agendum
- 15:15:18 [Zakim]
- agendum 1. "namespaceDocument-8" taken up [from DanC_lap]
- 15:15:30 [ht]
- Topic: namespaceDocument-8
- 15:17:06 [ht]
- NDW: Problems with taking RDDL forward -- some problems encountered:
- 15:17:33 [ht]
- ... 1) XHTML modularisation is needed to be more blessed
- 15:17:47 [Ed]
- http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/issues.html#namespaceDocument-8
- 15:17:58 [ht]
- ... 2) There's a two-URI problem ;
- 15:18:19 [DanC_lap]
- looking back at http://www.w3.org/2005/04/05-tagmem-minutes.html#action03
- 15:19:30 [ht]
- ... 3) CMSMCQ alleges that RDDL commits some kind of tag abuse
- 15:19:54 [ht]
- DanC: What feedback about GRDDL/RDDL?
- 15:20:40 [ht]
- HST: Recall my problem with the GRDDL idea is the necessity to run XSLT to get my schema document
- 15:20:48 [ht]
- DanC: you can hard-code that too
- 15:25:30 [ht]
- NM: Regarding (2) above, what I meant was that in the RDDL document you have to include the same URI twice, once for humans and once for machines, which is a) tedious and b) liable to error/abuse
- 15:25:49 [ht]
- s/NM/NDW/
- 15:26:10 [ht]
- NM: Is that an architectural problem?
- 15:27:14 [ht]
- NDW: No, just good document design -- the architectural question is introducing the level of indirection we need to get to all different kinds of things: Schema, DTD, human doc't, RELAX NG schema, ....
- 15:28:16 [ht]
- HST: A good-enough solution, no competitors
- 15:28:43 [ht]
- DC: Is status of current RDDL spec. good enough?
- 15:28:48 [ht]
- NDW: AC said no
- 15:29:20 [ht]
- NM: As written, it says it's about e.g. namespace documents, not specifically only namespace documents
- 15:29:46 [ht]
- ... If we were to make it a REC, we would need to specify this, yes?
- 15:30:25 [ht]
- NDW: Don't say 'only', just 'start there'
- 15:30:47 [ht]
- DC: Don't imply you should use this, just you may if you want to do the indirection
- 15:31:01 [ht]
- NM: So the use cases can all be namespaces, but no restriction to that
- 15:32:09 [ht]
- HST: So do we send RDDL to the XML Core WG ?
- 15:32:13 [ht]
- [all] No
- 15:32:48 [ht]
- DC: Start a WG
- 15:32:52 [ht]
- NDW: Schema WG
- 15:33:50 [ht]
- NDW: Maybe if we asked the AC to create a WG to do this, they would agree it's OK
- 15:39:19 [ht]
- NM: If we recommend a WG we get in process trouble vis a vis what we said about binary XML
- 15:39:46 [ht]
- [not well-minuted passage about routes to make RDDL a spec]
- 15:39:51 [ht]
- s/spec/REC/
- 15:42:24 [ht]
- TBL: Wants not just the RDDL syntax, but also a semantics, i.e. a GRDDL stylesheet and an ontology for what it produces
- 15:42:58 [ht]
- HST: syntax is there, stylesheet is there (see March minutes somewhere, at worst April), all we need is the ontology
- 15:43:27 [ht]
- NM: Prefer specs not to talk about processing, if possible
- 15:44:32 [dorchard]
- maybe an XG?
- 15:46:39 [Norm]
- RDDL natures: http://www.rddl.org/natures/ and purposes: http://www.rddl.org/purposes/
- 15:52:14 [ht]
- DC: HST would you be happy if RDDL didn't have the relation you needed?
- 15:52:24 [ht]
- HST: Sure, The Schema WG would mint one
- 15:52:35 [ht]
- ... The RDDL REC better allow for that
- 15:52:42 [DanC_lap]
- right, norm, how much of those lists should go in the REC?
- 15:52:49 [ht]
- NDW: Yes, I have to do that for functions for F&O
- 15:54:09 [ht]
- TBL: We need to look at RDF-A before reaching a resolution
- 15:54:11 [Norm]

- 15:58:03 [ht]
- TBL: Instead of rddl:resource or GRDDL, just use RDF-A, maybe?

- 16:07:48 [ht]
- NM: 1) Just namespace docs, just these N properties;

- Norm has joined #tagmem
- 17:13:52 [Norm]
- The solution that looks appealing is:
- 17:14:02 [Norm]
- 1. Define an ontology for this problem
- 17:14:13 [Norm]
- 2. Explain how rddl:purpose exposes that ontology
- 17:14:37 [Norm]
- 3. Write a GRDDL stylesheet with a well-known URI that literally instantiates an instance of that ontology when applied to rddl:purpose elements
- 17:15:22 [Norm]
- 4. So if you get a rddl 1.0 document, you can do it with GRDDL or by recognizing the URI of the stylesheet. If you get something else and apply its GRDDL and you get that ontology, you can use that too
- 17:15:30 [DanC_lap]
- (re part 1, the only term I know of that's used in practice is the one XSV uses to find schema documents)
- 17:16:40 [Roy]

- 17:16:43 [Norm]
- ACTION: Norm to write something like this up and send it to www-tag to see if it gets popular support

- 18:06:11 [ht]
- base URI issue is launched at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Apr/0077
- 18:06:26 [timbl]
- _______________
- 18:06:28 [timbl]
- The design of escape-uri has a flaw in that it hides within one function two quite different ones. It should be split into two functions corresponding to different values of the escape-reserved flag. Possible names are as follows:
- 18:06:32 [timbl]
- encode-for-uri() takes any unicode string and returns a string which can be used as a path segment in a URI. This function is reversible, and NOT idempotennt. (Definition of the inverse function would clearly be a good idea). Its semantics are those of your function with the second argument set to TRUE.
- 18:06:38 [timbl]
- clean-uri() takes a unicode string which may contain URI syntax but (like e.g. IRI) contains invalid URI characters. Without disturbing the URI pucntuation, it encodes non-URI characters so that the result is a valid [part of a] URI in ascii. Its semantics are those of your function with the second argument set to FALSE.

- 18:42:19 [ht]
- The problems the Schema WG has with this are, at least:
- 18:42:45 [ht]
- 1) What NS do I look in?
- 18:42:52 [DanC_lap]
- HT was responding to a question I asked about the case of ...people#xmlns(...people, p)xscd(p:minorAge)
- 18:42:58 [DanC_lap]
- ack danc
- 18:42:58 [Zakim]
- DanC_lap, you wanted to correct myself: RDDL spec as-is is *almost* OK; it doesn't have a clear, normative mapping to RDF yet and to ask for a special-case in case the lhs, before

- DanC_lap, you wanted to point out a relation to rdfURIMeaning-39
- 18:50:47 [DanC_lap]
- (hmm... HT says he has proposed a "language definition document" for composing schemas; I wonder if that's actually novel w.r.t. what's already available)
- 18:51:29 [Roy]
- DC and TBL: the schema-URI should be the namespace URI of the schema -- the owner of that URI is responsible for maintaining the relationship between that URI and its representations (schema documents) -- some schemas will change over time and the owner knows whether they should retain the same URI or mint a new one for the new namespace [? scribe is interpreting]
- 18:53:54 [Roy]
- DC: over time, community will only tolerate changes within the scope of the original namespace, leading to global consensus (or global change to a more stable URI)
- 18:57:30 [DanC_lap]
- (namespaces are *just like other resources* in this respect. when you update your essay, you can do it in-place or in a new place)
- 18:58:14 [Roy]
- TBL: different groups place different constraints on what content can be changed without requiring a different name to reflect that change

- DO; what happened here was that, as a result of issue 7, the group came up with a minimal provision to satisfy the TAG. There was no work on the bindings to actually use that facility.

- 20:29:57 [noah]
- Dan asked me to paraphrase discussion I just had with David O. Here goes:
- 20:30:18 [noah]
- Noah: does safety/get work with HTTP in WSDL.
- 20:31:01 [noah]
- David: yes, indeed it's a bit better than it was. Although the safety flag is now in an adjunct, the HTTP binding now respects it, and you can also explicitly set the HTTP GET method in the WSDL HTTP Binding
- 20:31:38 [noah]
- Noah: OK, am I right that a cost of the new decision is that you do not have a normative way of saying "use the SOAP GET binding from the SOAP rec"
- 20:31:40 [Roy]
- http://www.pacificspirit.com/blog/2005/05/16/witw_wsdl_20_http_binding
- 20:32:12 [noah]
- David: not quite. The SOAP binding in WSDL does not honor the safety flag, but it does let you set the response only MEP and we think the GET WebMethod as well.
- 20:32:30 [noah]
- Noah: will that MEP to the specific on the wire protocol that the TAG agreed with the XMLP WG would be in the SOAP Rec.
- 20:32:34 [noah]
- David: yes, think so.

- 20:33:53 [DanC_lap]
- so DaveO seems to be saying that my hopes are not completely unfounded.
- 20:36:14 [DanC_lap]
- so, dorchard , you're content with the recent decision of the WSDL WG?

- DO: corporate users want to do REST stuff, but the tooling doesn't support it in the way that they are accustomed to building applications
- 20:48:13 [Norm]

- 20:48:13 [Zakim]
- Roy, you wanted to say: to be responsive to our original issue, they need to provide URIs that are GETable for the information made available by those services -- how they arrange
- 20:48:16 [Zakim]
- ... for that to happen isn't as important as making it happen (or stop calling them Web Services)
- 20:51:48 [Roy]
- DO: two issues: 1) is the TAG okay with what the WSDL group did; 2) does the TAG see the state of the WS world going in the right direction or is there something more the TAG can do to improve things?
- 20:55:14 [Roy]
- NM: I think 70-75% of the problem is political rather than technical -- people are saying that the issue isn't important enough to them to justify implementation. We did the right thing to look at the technical information, but I am wondering whether it is appropriate for the TAG to continue pushing them together
- 20:56:43 [noah]
- Actually, not quite. What I meant to say was, it's absolutely appropriate that we take effort to make sure the WS stack is a good citizen on the web and can exploit REST to the extent that's reasonable. The main role for the TAG is not to solve political and social problems, but we should certainly be supportive of community efforts to promote synergy between the WS stack and the rest of the Web.
- 20:57:15 [Roy]
- DO: WSD rejected the notion of creating a new binding, a la WS-REST binding, based on charter issues
- 20:57:19 [Norm]
- ack DanC_lap
- 20:57:19 [Zakim]
- DanC_lap, you wanted to observe that this is sort of an interesting soap/rest/web-services discussion, but regarding the TAG's position on the WSD WG's decision, it seems
- 20:57:23 [Zakim]
- ... acceptable, w.r.t. our position on issue 7, and based on his explanation, it seems OK to me and to suggest a new use case for WSDL.
- 20:57:29 [noah]
- I do think we should ask in all cases: if the technical underpinnings are adequate, and if the deployment isn't happening, then should we try to solve the problem by doing more technical work?
- 20:58:34 [Roy]
- DO: We could considerably simplify WSDL by making it specific to the SOAP binding and create a separate IDL for REST-based Web
- 20:59:05 [Roy]
- DO: The abstraction in WSDL causes additional steps that can be simplified
- 21:01:59 [Roy]
- DC: I have heard some good news, but perhaps it would be useful to come up with a new use-case for WSDL and asking them to support it or declare it won't be supprted by WSDL
