<sandro> I got it, Hassan.
<sandro> deepalik, ...?
<LeoraMorgenstern> I seem to be in the phone call, but not listed as me?
<LeoraMorgenstern> Since I use a call number, I wonder if I am listed as calling from the 441 area code?
<LeoraMorgenstern> That is, I don't dial in directly
<sandro> Could be, LeoraMorgenstern. Try pressing 4 1 #
<Allen> there is a lot of noise on the line
<LeoraMorgenstern> I'm going to hang up and call again. Maybe that will help figure this out.

PaulV scenario for Interop between rule engines is currently evaluated by Allen & David, because only sent 10 mins before call: CONTINUED.
<Darko> ok no probelm
Discussion on state of document.
David: Recent input. Condensed subsections for each general uc category.
Publication not changed much, since only 2 uc's were there; now with csma more complete.
<johnhall> never mind who's talking. Who's playing the violin
Other subsections are being condensed.
Allen: Credit scenario (2.4) changed; have a look at that.
<scribe> ACTION: Donald, Said, John: Scenario where R [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/07-rif-minutes.html#action12]
IF enters the play.
<ChrisW> [ACTION] Donal, Said, John: provide scenario for human-oriented use case showing where RIF is used
Harold: When omitting larger portions of material, can it still be linked?
<ChrisW> ACTION: Donal, Said, John: provide scenario for human-oriented use case showing where RIF is used [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/07-rif-minutes.html#action13]
David: Difficult, if final document should be self-contained.
Sandro: Perhaps no technical/organizational/editorial problem to provide links.
csma: Stand-alone has
advantages.
... If you think something valuable was omitted, say it now or
soon.
Allen: With the many
changesr/restructuring it was hard to keep all links at all
times (just to work at one place); they can be brought back on
one of the uc pages.
... ... so people would still find them; could also contain
reqs etc.
... ... but would be separate from main document.
Sandro: Not sure what you exactly mean. But yes, we can still bring links back later.
csma: People should offer ways to
insert what they want to have in. Better than just linking to
things.
... We should have all material now. Can we have a new draft
soon?
Allen: Waiting only for above-mentioned uc explanation wrt RIF.
David: Unless we enumerate all
indiv. reqs, we can not see global req; so iterative process
needed.
... Allen and I don't see exact distinction between desing
goals and reqs.
Allen: Ties in with discussion on what RIF is and isn't.
csma: Should RIF be executable
for instance.
Allen: Right. Partly motivated by OWL's UCR document: "What's an ontology?".
<ChrisW> the owl docuemtn says what is an ontology, then the RIF document shoudl say what is a rule
<FrankMcCabe> I think that the design goals for the RIF is something that should be figured out by the whol group
<ChrisW> not what is a RIF
Allen: Peter and Francois want to see RIF be executable, which is fine. But: What about interchange between overlapping languages -- we need a discussion,
<ChrisW> (just looking at the analogy)
<saidtabet> how about the analogy with HTML and HTTP? Language versus Protocol
<pfps> Hmm, I wouldn't say that my "requirement" is that the RIF be executable - however, forbidding it from being executable is not something that I can sign on to.
csma: Discussion not easy on the
telecon. Mailing list discussion is unfolding well. Will need
to come to conclusion at one point.
... Are there any other issues that need come in? E.g.: Data
access, linked to issue of query languages.
<scribe> ACTION: csma will incite this broader discussion on mailing list. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/07-rif-minutes.html#action14]
David: Should we have an action for everyone look over what we have?
<sandro> you were kind of noisy, josb.
csma: Prefer, next week someone to summarize consensus on design goals.
<josb> sorry, sandro
<sandro> no problem.
<sandro> (just explaining why I muted you)
<josb> anyway, thx for muting me :)
Allen: People who say RIF should be executable, what do they think this means for interchange/interop? Maybe executability supports interchange/interop.
csma: People with high-level design goals should propose them on mailing list.
David: Would be nice to have backlinks from reqs to uc's.
<PaulaP> requirements from the original use cases or from the categories?
csma: Who could copy all req sections from all uc's into one document for next week?
<PaulaP> I can do that
<scribe> ACTION: Paula will do this, removing duplicates if time permits. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/07-rif-minutes.html#action15]
<PaulaP> ok
<LeoraMorgenstern> \me Sorry, got disconnected and had to reconnect
<LeoraMorgenstern> P0 is LeoraMorgenstern
Donald: Will bring in new reqs by posting/email.
<ChrisW> ACTION: Paula to copy all requirements from original use cases into a single place, removing duplicates and pointing back to originals [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/07-rif-minutes.html#action16]
David: Paula, put it at the 'source' section to begin with.
<ChrisW> ACTION:* Harold will explain what Lloyd Topor extensions etc mean [DONE] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/07-rif-minutes.html#action17]
ChrisW: Fine, DONE.
... Discussion RIFRAF and uc's
... Which parts are relevant for phase 1.
... Example: bNodes -- one idea is going beyond Horn logic: so
is it not phase 1?
... Answer to "What goes int phase 1 / phase 2?" is not
crisp.
<josb> should we have a mailing list discussion on this topic: which features belong to phase 1
ChirsW: So we need to decide, as a group, that we will or will not deal with some issues in the 1st year.
csma: What is the impact of phase
1 / 2 on rule interchange reqs?
... Prioritized list?
ChrisW: Yes.
csma: Should we add "phase 1 / 2" column to List of Systems?
ChrisW: Yes.
<DaveReynolds> +1 to Sandro
Sandro: Procedurally, ask if all understand what people's action is?
<PaulaP> +1 to Sandro' comment
<sandro> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/List_of_Rule_Systems
csma: For people who have entered a system, they should enter what the phase 1 / 2 impact is. Interop impact?
Sandro: Hard to imagine they wouldn't all have non-Horn features
csma: Example: Translated JRules a few examples into logic notation
Chris: Will start this action.
<ChrisW> ACTION: Chris to start email discussion about what issues are "fuzzy" wrt phase 1 & 2 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/07-rif-minutes.html#action18]
<ChrisW> ACTION: JosDeBruijn create a wiki page explaining the issue with bNode semantics and summarize the possible solutions which have come up during the discussions on the mailing listat Lloyd Topor extensions etc mean [DONE] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/02/07-rif-minutes.html#action19]
4. OWL & RDF Compatibility
<sandro> JosB's page: http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/bNode_Semantics
csma: E.g., when you discuss bNodes in the head, you should say why it's important for interchange.
<josb> apologies, my connection is failing me
ChrisW: Josb action is DONE.
Sandro: Don't see anything time-critical here -- cannot go too far ahead of design discussion.
<MarkusK> ACTION 17 = JosDeBruijn create a wiki page explaining the issue with bNode semantics and summarize the possible solutions which have come up during the discussions on the mailing list [DONE]
csma: Question of interchange of human-oriented syntax related to OWL & RDF: Could you use write terms and facts in OWL & RDF?
Donald (and Said): Yes, will disuss OWL & RDF applicability for human-oriented uc.
Sandro: bNode action can be
removed from future agendas, but people can of course still
bring in any new aspects about this.
... At some point will come up again as a design decision when
we have to make a choice.
