<scribe> ACTION: Danja to contact Kingsley and try to get GRDDL EARL results [CONTINUES] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action01]

HarryH: opinion on test case doc?

<HarryH> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/td/pendinglist

chime: wanting input on what to merge

DanC: anything not done now, happy to leave forever

<rreck> there are alot of test cases

<DanC> :)

chime: move over/renaming links?

HarryH: part of charter get test cases for std lib

chime: leave as-is is conservative thing to do

<chimezie> PROPOSAL: approve tests: #inline-rdf1, #inline-rdf2,#inline-rdf3,#inline-rdf4,#inline-rdf5,#inline-rdf6,#inline-rdf8,#inline-rdf9,#inline-rdf10

<chimezie> with base URI of : http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/td/grddl-tests

<DanC> based on http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/td/test_results1.16 , which shows 2 passing implementations for inline-rdf1-10, I 2nd the proposal to approve them.

DanC: seconded

RESOLUTION: to approve tests: #inline-rdf1, #inline-rdf2,#inline-rdf3,#inline-rdf4,#inline-rdf5,#inline-rdf6,#inline-rdf8,#inline-rdf9,#inline-rdf10 with base URI of : http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/td/grddl-tests

<rreck> the embedded ones do not have two passing instances

<HarryH> ACTION: chimezie to update test manifest to include statements about features exercised by each test [DONE] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action02]

chime: yes, feature index in RDF is recent

<chimezie> The link which disposes of my ACTION to add RDF statements about the features excercised: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jun/0135.html

HarryH: to get to PR need two passes...

<rreck> the embedded ones do not have two passing instances

John: problem with test harness on embedded-rdf4, not raptor's fault

<john-l> ACTION: john-l to add various explanations to the test results page. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action03]

DanC: change todos into "would be nice", add john-l as sig
... wants to sign off both docs today

Harry: anything in the test editor's draft outstanding before PR?

Chime: no; nothing outstanding in v 1.53 2007/06/26 16:55:13

#issue-dbooth-3(ambiguity)

HarryH: spent a whole telecon on this already, everybody happy to vote?

dbooth: has prepared something to present

<dbooth> Slides: http://dbooth.org/2007/grddl/ambiguity2.ppt

DanC: not ok to spend time this way

HarryH: responsibility to address comment

dbooth: ok going straight to straw proposals

<HarryH> Straw Poll for 1c: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jun/0331.html

<rreck> aye

<HarryH> danja: concur.

<HarryH> dbooth: yes.

<briansuda> concur

<rreck> yes

<chimezie> How the proposals fall out along CCF position: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jun/0375.html

<HarryH> Simone?

<FabienG> concur

<HarryH> Chime?

clarification question: are these mutually exclusive proposals?

dbooth: no

HarryH: straw poll, prior to formal poll

<DanC> no; changing the domain of transformation is a substantive change; would require changes and re-opening issues, and the odds we'd improve the spec substantially doesn't look worth the time

<bwm> I'd like to make it clear that the HP position is to abstain on this vote

<DanC> this isn't a vote

<HarryH> David votes "yes".

dbooth: need to find which proposal has most agreement

<HarryH> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jun/0332.html

<HarryH> Proposal 2c?

dbooth: as 1 with non-validating parsing

<DanC> no; 2c likewise changes the domain of transformation, which (as jjc's tests show) is substantive change; would require tests and re-opening issues, and the odds we'd improve the spec substantially doesn't look worth the time

<HarryH> Danny: concur

<HarryH> David: yes

<briansuda> concur

<rreck> concur

dbooth: 2c more fully addresses ambiguity issue

<HarryH> HarryH: abstrain

<HarryH> John-l: yes

<FabienG> concur

<HarryH> Chime: abstrains.

HarryH: more or less same, one less yes

<HarryH> Straw poll on 3c: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jun/0333.html

<rreck> concur

<DanC> re 3c, no on grounds of order; we'd need to re-open faithful infoset first.

<HarryH> Danny: concurs.

<HarryH> dbooth: yes.

<rreck> concur

<briansuda> concur

<HarryH> john-l: yes

<HarryH> Chime: yes

<FabienG> concur

<HarryH> vipul: yes.

HarryH: substantially more yes

<dbooth> W3C Process document on Managing Dissent:

<dbooth> http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/policies.html#managing-dissent

<dbooth> [[

<dbooth> Groups SHOULD favor proposals that create the weakest objections. This is preferred over proposals that are supported by a large majority but that cause strong objections from a few people.

<dbooth> ]]

DanC: doesn't consider it in order to discuss

HarryH: DanC, is strong objection?

DanC: I'll live
... will take role as editor, will follow WGs instruction

dbooth: may have hybrid proposal
... from chime

chime: depends on process

HarryH: can do one more straw poll
... can't really discuss because it doesn't have specific changes to text

<chimezie> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jun/0375.html

(silence while everyone reads)

<chimezie> basically whether or not the transform is given teh document (and not the XPath model) and whether the transformation determiniation happens on a minimal XPath is dependent on 1) if the transformation is XProc and 2) if an XML Processing Model is applied

<DanC> (it's clear to me that 0375 overlaps our decision on faithful infoset and we shouldn't discuss it unless we're re-considering the decision)

<chimezie> XProc WG is chartered to produce 2)

HarryH: simple informative text addition enough?

<HarryH> I consider this a clarification of faithful infoset.

<HarryH> In particular, because of this sentece in faithful infoset:

chime: minimal processing if XProc...difficult to explain

<HarryH> Therefore, it is suggested that

<HarryH> GRDDL transformations be written so that they perform all expected

<HarryH> pre-processing, including processing of related DTDs, Schemas and

<HarryH> namespaces.

<DanC> (we postponed this issue. we agreed that yes, there are lots of possible designs in this space, but no, we're not choosing any of them. I find it rediculous to say that discussion of these designs is not reconsideration of that decision.)

<HarryH> danja: concur

<HarryH> dbooth: favor

<rreck> concur

<briansuda> concur

<HarryH> harryH: abstrain.

<HarryH> john-l yes

<FabienG> concur

<DanC> no. out of order.

HarryH: appears same as 3c

<HarryH> Strong objection.

<HarryH> 3c?

DanC: doesn't understand impact on spec, strong object

<HarryH> Now for a formal vote on 3c?

dbooth: views as acceptable resolution under circumstances

clarification question... does a WG decision here imply instructions to editors? [yes]

<HarryH> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jun/0333.html

Chime: what should be the forward reference? XProc (not yet written) or xmlFunctions-34

DanC: plan A: XProc group comes up with a working model, TAG says ok

dbooth: I don't see that as a critical issue either way

<DanC> (I think it merits inclusion in the status section, independent of whether it goes in the body of the tests document.)

<DanC> (and I'm the team contact, so I have final say on the status section. :-P ;-)

dbooth: putting it in the Status section alone is not clear enough

<rreck> yes

HarryH: putting the question on 3c...

<HarryH> abstrain.

<HarryH> john-l: yes.

<briansuda> abstain

<FabienG> concur

concur

<HarryH> David: abstain.

<HarryH> Vipul: yes.

<HarryH> DanC: abstain.

<HarryH> "Yes": 3

brb, water

<HarryH> "Concur": 3

<HarryH> Abstains: "2"

<HarryH> Concurs-> "yes"

<HarryH> "yes" = 6

<HarryH> Quorum?

<DanC> 6 is a critical mass. <- my advice to the chair

<HarryH> RESOLVED: to address dbooth-3 ambiguity comment a la edits to Spec and Test-Cases as per http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jun/0333.html

GRDDL vocabulary and misc spec edits

<HarryH> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007May/0054

<scribe> ACTION: DanC to incorporate 0054 comments into namespace doc [DONE] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action04]

DanC: I finished that just before the meeting. That's it for spec edits, AFAIK.

Relationship to XHTML 2 and HTML 5

HarryH: DanC brought up somewhat tangentially; not a formal issue

DanC: doesn't feel strongly, PR request worded well

HarryH: would prefer not to reopen group every time a new HTML spec comes out

<HarryH> http://tom.opiumfield.com/blog/2007/06/25#When:12:50:41

<HarryH> Chime: If GRDDL is subject to XHTML, it will never be stable.

DanC: authority of profile comes from specs
... if we seriously want to do this, need to have consensus of the HTML group
... claiming "@profile is well-deployed" is probably not a good way to start; there's heaps of evidence to the contrary

<FabienG> I have a naive question: if the profile attribute disappears can we still use the XML attribute mechanism in XHTML2 and HTML5?

<HarryH> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/prrequest.html

HTML5, not as-is, isn't XML

chime: reads aloud "dependencies with other groups"

DanC: adequately up to date with dependencies

HarryH: GRDDL not chartered to work with HTML5
... GRDDL can remain XHTML-only if necessary

(sorry, lost track of who's speaking)

DanC: make case for victory on GRDDL, support @profile outside this group

HarryH: send strong mail to HTML WG from this WG in support of keeping profile

DanC: strong case is test cases + implementation support more than just spec status

danja: DanC, better WG mail or individualos

DanC: what matters is the arguments
... worst case, follow your nose is gone by consensus
... I have convinced myself of the value of URI-based extensibility, but I struggle to convince others.

HarryH: HTML5 has to get through W3C process

<DanC> ACTION: DanC to salt http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jun/0274.html to taste and send to HTML WG [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action05]

<dbooth> I also think it's a good idea

<HarryH> danja: yes

<FabienG> yes

<HarryH> I'll take send as authorization to send it out plus one e-mail.

<chimezie> "famous last words"

HarryH, check latter bits of http://dannyayers.com/2007/06/25/grddl-progress

<DanC> (in particular, I think we should phrase the subject of these liaison messages in terms of the recipient group, i.e. "please keep @profile", not "review of GRDDL")

Implementation Report, toward PR request

<HarryH> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/prrequest.html

HarryH: status of comments

<HarryH> latest in Eisenberg/XQuery thread

HarryH: ready for votes

<DanC> proposal should cite http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/prrequest.html too

<DanC> http://www.w3.org/2004/01/rdxh/spec 1.273 + dbooth3 edit + status/pubrules

<DanC> oh yeah... inlinerdf.

<HarryH> PROPOSAL: http://www.w3.org/2004/01/rdxh/spec 1.273 + dbooth3 edit + status/pubrules and http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/td/grddl-tests 1.53 + approvals of inline-rdf* + RESOLUTION on proposal 3c (dbooth3) to PR.

<rreck> concur

<DanC> (david, I'm interested in another set of eyeballs on http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/prrequest.html ; are you interested?)

<dbooth> DanC, okay

<HarryH> PROPOSAL: http://www.w3.org/2004/01/rdxh/spec 1.273 + dbooth3 edit + status/pubrules and http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/td/grddl-tests 1.53 + approvals of inline-rdf* + RESOLUTION on proposal 3c (dbooth3) to PR and PR Request + editorial changes and edits authorized by WG member.

<DanC> something like http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/prrequest.html plus edits to @@s as agreed by HarryH and DavidB

<DanC> ok, "by WG member" is close enough

<briansuda> concur

<HarryH> chime: yes

<FabienG> Yes.

<HarryH> Harry: yes

<HarryH> w3c: yes

<HarryH> Simone: yes

<HarryH> For members of WG not present, they can express their support by e-mail to the public-grddl-wg@w3.org.

HarryH: Dublin Core profile?

<HarryH> ACTION: IanD and Danja to e-mail maintainer of Dublin Core Metadata Profile to upgrade to GRDDL. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action06]

(I now work with iand, so it's == )

<DanC> (oops; we perhaps should have changed your affiliation, danja.)

<HarryH> Are there any GRDDL implementations that we can cite as support deployment besides OpenLink and TopBraid?

<danja_> DanC, only recent - probably a bit late in the day

<HarryH> I'll add XTech in.

<rreck> you mean like ISO vocabularies?

<rreck> ok i have ISO 3166

<HarryH> XML based vocabularies or XHTML profiles.

<HarryH> Could you e-mail that to the list rreck?

<rreck> i have to finalized it

<rreck> but yes

<HarryH> Just e-mail it to us that you're working on it.

<FabienG> Do you include RDFa profile: http://ns.inria.fr/grddl/rdfa/ ?

<dbooth> PR request needs to mention xmlFunctions-34

<rreck> i have conversions of 3166-2 genericode to RDF

<DanC> # request for profile URI for RDFa Ralph R. Swick (Tuesday, 26 June)

HarryH: any other additons to PR request?

DanC: there was a Jazoom talk lately. Maybe our WWW2007 tutorial?

<DanC> http://jazoon.com/en/conference/presentationdetails.html?type=sid&detail=870

<DanC> that jazoon link is among http://del.icio.us/connolly/grddl

<dbooth> In PR request: s/been been/been/

<chimezie> ST '07 COP GRDDL session: http://www.semantic-conference.com/2007/sessions/d1.html

Primer

<scribe> ACTION: danja to review primer [DONE] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action07]

dbooth: plus addition of XML NS doc example

DanC: that sort of edit involves reconsidering our decision last week to publish

(no objection)

<DanC> (it means we have to make a decision or risk going to the someday pile)

HarryH: to fulfil charter have to have everything going out as once

<john-l> What's wrong with publishing updates to WG Notes?

dbooth: would need time

HarryH: DanC, is update to Note doable?

DanC: process allows it but team contact resources are dwindling
... perhaps Ivan could fill in for me or something

[discussion on finding a staff contact later]

<dbooth> If DanC is unable to perform his duties as W3C staff contact, we need to escalate to W3C management.

<HarryH> PROPOSAL: To publish http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/doc29/primer.html + correct danja's + chime's problems today + removing iframes.

<briansuda> yes

<Simone> yes

<rreck> yes

<FabienG> Yes

<HarryH> DanC: abstain.

<HarryH> HarryH: abstains.

<DanC> I abstain and I'm not taking any publication related actions based on that proposal; too much risk.

<rreck> thanks, bubye

<HarryH> Meeting extended; people who don't want to work on primer are excused

<john-l> Are we just going to leave the iframes, then?

<chimezie> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jun/0367.html

<john-l> [[[

<john-l> The spreadsheets example is based on work by Mark Nottingham in "Adding

<john-l> Semantics to Excel with Microformats and GRDDL". The version of the

<john-l> transformation script used in that example has a few significant changes

<john-l> from Mark's original.

<john-l> ]]]

chimezie, is this right: [[[

Also possible typo down there - cpr:medical-problem is mentioned in

the text, can't see it in the RDF, maybe cpr:medical-sign is intended?

]]]

<HarryH> The syntax of a "This Version" URI MUST be <http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/NOTE-shortname-2007MMDD/>.

<HarryH> Error The status found in the URI (http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-grddl-primer-20061002/) doesn't match the specified short status (NOTE), or the "this version" link is not well formatted (a la http://www.w3.org/TR/YYYY/status-shortname-YYYYMMDD)

<HarryH> Error. Although the boilerplate text is correct, there is an inconsistency with respect to IPP for the group identified by http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/: Error. The group is in IPP. There is an inconsistency between the checker configuration (not W3C Patent Policy) and what IPP believes (W3C Patent Policy).

<briansuda> i'm still around in IRC if you need me for anything

<HarryH> OK.

<HarryH> Back.

<HarryH> john-l?

<DanC> the changelog is a raw CVS log since 27 Sep; anybody want to do something friendlier?

<DanC> HarryH, recall we used that hotel example for our WWW2007 tutorial; we came up with a nice diagram: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/tut7/hotel-answer.png

<DanC> I wonder if it's worth adding

<DanC> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/tut7/gtut#(18)

<DanC> (slide28 is a hoot; did we ack the source of that image?)

<dbooth> If that image is correct, I'd favor adding it.

<DanC> one list is http://esw.w3.org/topic/DawgShows

<DanC> dbooth, it was correct as of May; can you take a quick look?

<DanC> and http://esw.w3.org/topic/SparqlEndpoints

<DanC> +1 after "With this combined "mashed-up" data " para

<DanC> here's what I use when I need a DTD: $ echo "foo" | tidy -asxml

<DanC> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

<DanC> "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<HarryH> All normative representations MUST validate as either HTML 4.x or as some version of XHTML that is a W3C Recommendation.

<HarryH> Error The W3C Markup Validation Service was used for the validation of this document.

<HarryH> At least one normative representation MUST validate as HTML 4.x or XHTML 1.0 (for backwards compatibility).

<HarryH> OK (found XHTML 1.0 Frameset) The W3C Markup Validation Service was used for the validation of this document.

<DanC> john, you might appreciate ,mirrorstatus

<john-l> I think that requires credentials that I don't have.

<DanC> <IanJ> when I ,pubrules that URI I don't get that error, DanC

<dbooth> DanC: I hereby okay the status section.

<DanC> I move to adjourn.

<DanC> pls send pub request to webreq, copy me and john-l (and w3c-archive)
