Events
- F2F10 26-28 May, 2008, Galway
- Registration is closed
- Telecon 13 May 2008 Agenda
- RESOLVED: to close ISSUE-52 per the current version of BLD and SWC drafts, with the understanding that ISSUE-33 and ISSUE-39, and the new issue to be raised about profile mixing, are moved out of BLD critical path as a consequence.
- RESOLVED: (on Axel's point 4) go with Prefix as Axel proposes (whitespace between prefix name and uri), as long as in the presentation syntax it is in a pre-amble, as a directive, so it is not easily confused with a fact.
- RESOLVED: Presentation Syntax will follow option 1a (where Const ::= ANGLEBRACKIRI | CURIE | STRING^^ANGLEBRACKIRI | STRING^^CURIE )
- Telecon 6 May 2008 Agenda
- RESOLVED: close ISSUE-53 as in current http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wiki/SWC
