RESOLUTION: Accept minutes of 12 Dec, 9 Jan and 23 Jan.

<dwood> PROPOSED next meeting 20 February 2006

<RalphS> 20 Feb is a US Holiday

RESOLUTION: next meeting 20 February 2006

<RalphS> (I expect I will attend on the holiday if the WG meets then)

<Zakim> TBaker, you wanted to propose Cookbook for Working Draft

DWood: Other agenda for today?

Ben: RDF/A Primer

<benadida> yes!

<TBaker> thank you!

2.1 Proposed resolution httpRange-14

Alistair: DBooth had action to request clarification from TAG on the issue, and I had a VM TF action to ask whether 302 redirects are okay, so I drafted something boiling it down to whether hTTP responses are assertions. That also seemed like what was underlying a lot of discussion on the thread and whether it is okay to use a URI to name a person. I thought the httpRange-14 decision was to the effect that HTTP response is an assertion.
... Pat Hayes said he doesn't think this is a good idea to ask, that this is still a research question. DWood also commented.

<RalphS> +1 to Pat Hayes' arguments being well worth reading

<dwood> ackk dbooth

<RalphS> DBooth: my view has shifted as a result of the email discussion

<RalphS> ... I had felt that AWWW said that what the RDF/A Primer is doing should not be done

<RalphS> ... but after reading Pat Hayes' and Jeremy's remarks I see there is a different interpretation of the TAG's writings

<RalphS> ... I don't think it would be advisable to force the question right now

<RalphS> DavidW: is there a different question that is worth asking the TAG?

Ralph: I had been skeptical about whether it's worth asking the TAG to resolve anything, because I didn't feel it was likely they would answer quickly, so i'm confortable not pushing them on this.

DWood: How about a purely SemWeb interpretation of the rang-14 issue?

Ralph: Not sure that's the best use of our time in the WG. But publishing the docs that we are publishing (RDF/A Primer, Apache Config Cookbook), both docs can touch on this question. i hope there will be several venues in which this issue is discussed (including this WG), but having an objective to resolve this in the next few months may be reaching too far.

<Zakim> aliman, you wanted to say something about webarch

Alistair: When I first read the TAG's httpRange-14 decision, the way I read it, I thought that the implied position was that an HTTP response is effectively an assertion, and I think quite a few other people read it that way as well. It could be useful to ask the question of the TAG. They could then say no, that isn't what we mean.

<Zakim> dbooth, you wanted to say I think we can sidestep the issue

<RalphS> DBooth: it's reasonable to send a question to the TAG

<RalphS> ... with regard to our documents we can side-step the issue

<RalphS> ... as it really comes down to the particular usage of an ontology; whether that particular usage runs into the issue

Ralph: I'm okay with posing the question to the TAG. Don't know howw much background we need to supply on it.

<RalphS> DBooth: my interpretation now is that an HTTP response is an assertion but that assertion is different from what I originally expected

<RalphS> ... and perhaps also different from what Alistair  expected

<RalphS> ... I don't want the TAG to think the WG is asking a question because we are waiting for a response but rather note that we ran into the question and found confusion in the area

<Guus> suggest that DavidB takes this action

<RalphS> Ralph: "we noted some ambiguity ..."

<RalphS> ACTION: DBooth to draft a new message to the TAG noting the ambiguity remaining in httpRange-14 and HTTP responses [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/06-swbp-minutes.html#action01]

<TBaker> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swbp-wg/2006Jan/0180.html - see Section 3, "Response to reviews"

3.5 VM - Vocabulary Management (TomB)

<RalphS> [VM] Telecon Tuesday (today) 15:00 UTC

Tom: Discussed suggestions made by reviewers. Want to propose the draft for publication as WD.

<TBaker> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/VM/http-examples/2006-01-18/

Tom: I believe we addressed major points made by reviewers.

<dwood> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swbp-wg/2006Jan/0180.html

DWood: Reviewers were Andreas and DBooth.

<aliman> no amendments are being proposed

Guus: I propose we put this on agenda for next time.

<RalphS> DBooth: are we proposing to remove some words regarding httpRange-14 from the cookbook?

<RalphS> ... the intent of my action was to propose some words on how to select which type of URI to use, which I think is still relevant

<RalphS> ... I recall doing some work on these words but might not have posted to the list

<RalphS> ... I think words can be written that avoid controversy

<Zakim> aliman, you wanted to mention scope

<RalphS> DBooth: I think it is relevant to say something about what kind of URI to use

<RalphS> Alistair: the TF summarized the scope of the document [reads Introduction]

<RalphS> ... the document scope is primarily for existing vocabularies

<RalphS> ... though Ralph did include a few words about choosing names

<RalphS> ... if David wants to propose some new text I'd be glad to look

<RalphS> DavidW: DBooth is free to propose words, the TF decides whether or not to include the proposed words before asking the WG to publish

<RalphS> Alistair: in that case, I ask the WG to publish the draft as-is and we consider any proposed new words in a future update

<RalphS> DBooth: I'm comfortable with that. It sounds as though the TF carefully bounded its scope to avoid the question of picking URIs but I feel this is such an obvious question that it should be covered

<Zakim> RalphS, you wanted to ask DBooth if these additional words should hold a first WD

<RalphS> Tom: can we take the resolution to advance the cookbook to Working Draft on the next telecon, please

Tom: I'd like to advance this to WD on 20 Feb. Would like any proposed text before 14 Feb.

<scribe> ACTION: DBooth to re-review Apache Cookbook document by 14 Feb [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/06-swbp-minutes.html#action20]

<scribe> ACTION: Tom to ask Andreas to re-review Cookbook document by 14 Feb in light of changes already made. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/06-swbp-minutes.html#action21]

3.6 HTML - Embedding RDF in HTML (Ben)

Ben: Lots of discussion regarding WebArch issues. On mailing list 2 wks ago I made a mistake and forgot to include a section that Mark had written. Lots of positive feedback on them. Wanted to check withh the WG that we're still okay to go to WD.

<Guus> we have voted, so it is basicaly editor's discretion

<Zakim> dbooth, you wanted to say I'm okay going okay with first WD

Guus: We already voted on it.
... No problem in going forward with it.

<scribe> ACTION: [DONE] ben to contact alistair on use of frag id's [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/06-swbp-minutes.html#action22]
