The TAG reconvenes. 13:50:03 Vincent: This morning, we will address 3,4,5,6 this morning, and 7 and 8 this afternoon, which is a lot to do, but we will spend an hour on each. Roy me be late. 13:52:09 Topic: Principle of Least Power 13:52:41 ->http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Dec/0033 RF's review 13:52:57 Dan: There seems to be a consensus on this, no outstanding issues or comments, two positive reviews. 13:53:10 oops... 0033 isn't RF's review... 13:53:28 -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Dec/0032 RF's review of Principle of Least Power 13:53:32 Noah: I did point someone at this and they didn't seemt o get it. 13:53:55 .. Let's format it as a finding and put it out as a draft. 13:54:03 -> http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Principles.html#PLP Principle of Least Power section 13:54:19 -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Aug/0006 NDW's review 13:54:21 [We are discussing the section only of the DesignIssues document] 13:55:42 ACTION Norm: Format the section as a finding. 13:55:43 -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Aug/0011 Noah's view in the thread 13:57:47 Roy has joined #tagmem 13:57:52 RESOLVED: We will publish it as a draft finding and promote it to finding in a month. Noah will edit it and respond to comments. 13:58:15 Norm has joined #tagmem 13:59:27 ACTION NM: announce draft finding of principle of least power to www-tag in ~ 2 weeks 14:00:43 Topic: Self-describing documents 14:01:23 q+ to tell a story, perhaps more about "grounded in the web" than self-describing 14:02:17 queue = tim, HT, DC, NM 14:02:24 Zakim, queue = tim, HT, DC, NM 14:02:24 I don't understand 'queue = tim, HT, DC, NM', DanC_csail 14:02:32 queue=tim, HT, DC, NM 14:02:36 ack tim 14:06:49 ack nm 14:07:39 Proposed bumper sticker: GOOD PRACTICE: Resource representations should, to the extent practical, be self-describing. 14:07:39 Specifically, the correct and complete interpretation of Web documents should, to the extent practical, depend only on widely used standards, convenentions and languages (including both natural languages and computer languages.) The remainder of this finding explores some more detailed issues relating to the creation and sharing of self-describing documents on the Web. 14:07:40 ack DC 14:20:54 [discussion] 14:21:15 ack ht 14:21:25 stories I'm interested in: * how to introduce a new format to the web, esp an XML format, esp an RDF vocabulary 14:21:35 TBL: Writes on white board the following: 14:21:37 URI 14:21:43 Content-type registry 14:21:46 stories I'm interested in: * engineers discovering and implementing a new format 14:21:50 HTTP_TCP 14:21:54 XML-Unicode 14:21:55 NS 14:22:20 stories I'm interested in: * user encounters un-handled media type, chooses an app 14:22:23 I believe the above are a proposed (partial) list of standards that the W3C would assume to be universally known as the basis for interpreting self-describing documents 14:22:41 The interpretation of a Information Resource must be available through knowledge of a certian core set of specs plus things found by following pointers on the web. 14:22:48 stories I'm interested in: * designer deploys new media type * designer deploys new XML format * designer deploys new RDF vocab 14:22:51 Underneath TIM then wrote a list of two types of specL 14:22:56 s/specL/specs/ 14:23:04 Human readable languages: 14:23:14 TXT 14:23:16 HTML 14:23:19 Jpeg 14:23:21 PNG 14:23:23 CSS 14:23:26 SVG 14:23:48 Then we have a partial list of machine-processable language descriptionsL 14:23:55 s/descriptionsL/descriptions/ 14:23:58 RDF 14:24:02 OWL 14:25:09 Tim discusses dispatching on MIME type vs. grokking namespaces etc. 14:25:35 NM: should we get into agents that understand application/unknownsubtype+xml 14:25:41 Bug: Safari doesn't adv ertize it will habndel SVG when it gets the SVG plugin. 14:25:53 Norm, Tim and others: yes, but we don't know of any user agents that do 14:26:08 Bug: Browsers don't dipatch on +xml eg in unknown application/foobar+xml 14:26:58 Note to editor of minutes: the line below OWL in the list above should indeed be RIF (Rule Interchange Format) 14:27:20 DC: Have you intentionally left out downloading code as needed? 14:27:43 DC: That means that some of the universally shared understanding is "we know how to run a Turing machine": 14:28:27 TBL: Yes, this is the download a plugin model. You're right, this is important. 14:29:28 DanC: Plain text eg text/n3 does not fall back to text/plain presetntaion in a borwser 14:29:43 HT: Bug: Firefox never comes back when asked to look for a plugin. 14:30:57 HT: Should there be a dispatch poin on NS of document element? 14:30:58 -> http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/node/30 Go-Karting rush tainted by lack of OpenID for bug reporting about hypertext editing 14:31:25 ^ a little story about how I should have reported a browser bug but didn't because it's a pain to manage yet another password 14:34:28 q+ to ask about schema validation 14:34:39 ack 14:34:47 ack No 14:34:47 Norm, you wanted to ask about schema validation 14:34:47 ack norm 14:36:07 ht_hotel has joined #tagmem 14:36:23 q+ to talk about several layers of semantics 14:36:36 q? 14:37:06 q+ to say there's no one schema for a given media type 14:37:32 Norm: What if schma processing of eg default atrributes is necessar 14:37:34 ack ht 14:37:34 ht_hotel, you wanted to talk about several layers of semantics 14:38:02 DanC: So long as the trail by looking up the ns of the doc ele leads you to that one way or another. 14:38:15 ... otheriwse your document is not grounded on the web. 14:41:59 HT: We start with the infoset ... canwe using specs define how to get from that to the application data model? 14:45:23 ack noah 14:45:23 noah, you wanted to say there's no one schema for a given media type 14:45:36 ... The question is can we say whether or not to do things like xinclude and decryptioon etc 14:46:09 q? 14:47:18 q+ to try a story that might clarify xinclude, and ask if/why schema validation is different: suppose a community norm/law says "every restaurant menu must include information about calories" and a menu has (or, analagously, some link by default attribute) 14:47:37 q+ to stick and
