[off] we had a comment on xhtml-role that uses the word "complexify" - can i reject it just because that's not a word? ;-)

FYI - as anticipated we got a last call objection to using scoped values in attributes (for xhtml-role). We will carefully prepare a reply that we can use when we get similar objections on RDFa

guus: come back to reviews later; first take on point, this group not decided on outcome status for RDFa; in charter, possibility to go rec track, not a decision yet.
07:35:50 [aliman]
...proposal from RDFa TF is to go REC track. My main concern, whether there is sufficient people to carry this through. For me, recent progress of TF and also importance of work, I'm no in favour of going rec track.
07:35:58 [aliman]

:-)
07:37:49 [aliman]
tom: need to be specific about which deliverables on which track. WG needs to agree to bring syntax to REC track; then approve publication of syntax as WD; then look at other deliverables, use cases, test cases, then figure out what is intended process for each of those, then figure out rough schedule. If we do that, and figure out overlap with XHTML 2, then we've done our duty for RDFa today.
07:38:10 [aliman]
guus: tom says, if it's clear what goes rec track and what doesn't, then OK to go for rec track.
07:39:22 [aliman]
ben: we discussed in group. focus on important normative docs, therefore only doc which needs to go rec track is XHTML 1.1 syntax. other docs are important, give supporting information. but only normative doc is syntax.
07:39:28 [aliman]
ralph: proposal for other docs?
07:39:42 [aliman]
ben: primer will be note; test cases as supporting documentation.
07:39:59 [Steven]
(interruption as someone enters room)
07:40:45 [aliman]
guus: I'm not going to make a point about this. happy with scheme in OWL WG, full set of docs goes rec track as one package, including test cases and guide/primer. but if TF proposes to have just syntax as REC track, don't think it will make a big difference in practice.
07:40:54 [aliman]
ivan: GRDDL published primer as NOTE.
07:41:12 [aliman]
... depends on what TF feels is achievable in time frame ... and time frame is not long.
07:41:36 [RalphS]
[I was going to make the same point Ivan just made; more SemWeb specs have had primers as REC but most recent chose to make primer a Note]
07:41:42 [aliman]
guus: any more discussion? [no] propose this WG agrees RDFa to go rec track, given that syntax doc will be rec track doc. Any objections?
07:41:49 [aliman]
... ben ralph?
07:42:20 [aliman]
ralph: I'm ok with that. preference was, to say primer might as well be rec track too, because going to be reviewed and published in sync with syntax. but am satisfied with primer not being rec.

Steven has changed the topic to: Agenda: http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/wiki/AmsterdamAgenda
07:45:48 [RalphS]
[Ed summarizing his review]
07:45:55 [aliman]
Ed: In general, don't have a lot of DTD experience, so couldn't review that part. In general, this is great stuff, glad it's going to rec. Because I'm new to some of this, the CURIE I found some confusion as to whether CURIE defined here or in another syntax doc.
07:46:18 [aliman]
guus: what is status of CURIEs in this doc? part of this doc, or outside?
07:46:22 [ShaneM]
I think Mark can take this one
07:46:58 [Steven]
CURIE's are defined in the spec at: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2007/ED-rdfa-syntax-20070927/#s_curies
07:47:10 [aliman]
mark: pragmatic approach, CURIEs is a concept we need elsewhere, e.g. in role document, which went to last call last friday. So idea of something which is qname but not qname, needed elsewhere.
07:47:11 [RalphS]
zakim, meetingroom also has Ed

07:47:56 [aliman]
... like to persuade other groups e.g. SPARQL to use CURIEs (longer term thing). In short term, confusion because hedging out bets. If CURIEs don't go further, it will be in the RDFa document. If CURIEs do advance, will refer to another document.
07:48:08 [aliman]
guus: so making sure CURIEs are not on your critical path.
07:48:13 [RalphS]
[do SWD folks in the room understand that Mark and Steven are here representing the XHTML 2 Working Group, as part of the RDFa Task Force?]
07:48:42 [aliman]
mark: Yes, and trying to keep in sync. Section on CURIEs in RDFa has got clearer since looking at other problems (e.g. with role in XHTML 2)
07:48:45 [Steven]
[They do now :-)]
07:49:06 [aliman]
ivan: what is realistic assumption of CURIEs becoming REC in its own right before April?
07:49:13 [aliman]
mark: what would stop it?
07:49:51 [aliman]
... in terms of document, what is says ... when we're happy with explanation of CURIEs in RDFa ... not a lot of work to do.
07:50:25 [RalphS]
[I support the XHTML 2 plan to keep RDFa independent of a *separate* document on CURIEs]
07:50:28 [aliman]
stephen: mark summed it up. we don't want it on critical path. but this work is developing concept to usable state. good to develop here, then pull out to another spec. but if can't then doesn't matter.
07:51:15 [aliman]
guus: go for now, assume we discuss planning, but planning will be tight. for next 6 months, at least in candidate rec. how realistic? from my perspective, seems very unlikely. last call document, in two or three months, chances are almost zero.
07:51:51 [aliman]
ivan: yes, except my timing would be tougher. my goal to have as rec before beijiing. even tho candidate rec very short, last call still needed this year.
07:52:52 [aliman]
... decision on CURIEs in or out is concrete. technical content in last call cannot be changed. (cannot remove section) ... so need to decide before december. I think should not do that, we should keep CURIE spec inside RDFa syntax.
07:53:01 [aliman]
stephen: not a problem.
07:53:09 [Steven]
s/ph/v/
07:53:52 [ShaneM]
I feel the CURIE rules are pretty simple, and had planned to send the CURIE spec to last call in the next few weeks. But I dont mind leaving the text in the RDFa spec. I can undertake to keep them in sync. I do it all the time.
07:54:01 [mhausenblas]
zakim, mute me please
07:54:01 [Zakim]
mhausenblas should now be muted
07:54:02 [aliman]
ralph: i think ivan said what i meant to say ... challenge to keep any future separate spec consistent with RDFa. but in future version of RDFa can rip out whatever duplicates separate curie spec; but for now, work without separate curie spec.
07:54:14 [aliman]
ivan: close the door to have separate spec, pragmatically.
07:54:22 [aliman]
mark: why?
07:54:46 [Zakim]
RalphS, you wanted to comment in case Steven doesn't clarify and to clarify non-dependency
07:55:20 [aliman]
... there is now one sentence which says, this may come out into separate spec. If we think CURIEs in RDFa is nailed, if we then updated separate spec, would there be any problem if we then refer to it?
07:55:28 [guus]
q?
07:56:09 [aliman]
ivan: CURIE doc which you put out separately, would go to a number of other groups, not semweb groups, might have different requirements, could hold up RDFa for no good reason. can only refer to docs one step behind. let's say CURIE doc is delayed, then you are stuck with RDFa.
07:56:26 [aliman]
steven: if CURIE spec is causing aggravation, cannot move RDFa forward.
07:56:39 [aliman]
ivan: RDFa cannot be REC until CURIE is proposed REC.
07:56:50 [aliman]
steven: good for RDFa, good for CURIEs.
07:57:00 [RalphS]
q+
07:57:05 [aliman]
mark: made it block which could be removed. works both ways.
07:57:32 [aliman]
ben: follow mark's lead on this, sounds good.
07:59:12 [aliman]
ralph: importatn to decouple these. could include in status of doc, section which says "if curie languag of following section is published separately, intent is that this section will cite that". Ivan made crucial point, if separate specification is dependent, has to be close to end of recommendation. we need to decouple them. easy for us to find language for proposed edited recommendation for RDFa to say, we've removed this section because now in separate spec
08:00:18 [aliman]
RESOLUTION: resolved that, in preparing last call doc for RDFa, decouple RDFa syntax document from any separate CURIE document.
08:00:34 [RalphS]

zakim, meetingroom also has Diego
08:01:26 [Zakim]
+Diego; got it
08:01:36 [edsu]
ShaneM: I was confused by that too, although isn't that just a draft?
08:01:50 [aliman]
diego: I think, if we keep CURIEs inside RDFa syntax doc, then think carefully where to place it. it was some work to read the document, because use curies, then later read what curies are.
08:02:21 [aliman]
guus: but this is editorial comment. objections to resolution to decouple? [no] resolved by consensus.
08:02:27 [RalphS]
s/ShaneM:/ShaneM,/
08:02:43 [aliman]
ed: CURIE thing was my main comment. i had some trouble in steps of processing section.
08:02:58 [aliman]
guus: asked you as potential user of RDFa, whteher this is a description you could use?
08:03:07 [RalphS]
[Ed, Shane; I believe the XHTML 2 WG's intent is to update the CURIE WD after experience with RDFa]
08:03:39 [aliman]
ed: yes, thought it was very useful. diego's comments tightened up a few parts of it, but thought it veruy useful.
08:04:01 [aliman]
... made me want to dig into implementation, see how things were working.
08:04:25 [aliman]
guus: any points in review you consider critical, anything which needs to be answered, or only editorial discretion.
08:04:29 [aliman]
...?
08:04:36 [aliman]
ed: nothing critical.
08:04:47 [mhausenblas]
-> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2007Oct/0033.html Diego'S review
08:04:57 [aliman]
diego: comments on titles, request to move paragraphs to new section. Main comments are related with processing rule...
08:05:01 [mhausenblas]
s/Diego'S/Diego's
08:06:09 [aliman]
... processing rules are clear, get the idea how to process, but some points e.g. we should make clear only elements are actually processed by the rules, not clear at the moment (text nodes, comments?). If you look at code of ivan's implementation, where it goes down in tree, has if element node, then go in [?]
08:06:34 [aliman]
mark: used to say meta - text - meta. in my implementation, bring text node up. but it's right [what diego said].
08:07:23 [aliman]
guus: going to decide now to publish new WD. doesn't need to be completely finished, just need considerable progress, and nothing there which will embarrass us. so focus on anything which could block publication as WD, and anything which can be left to editorial discretion.
08:08:18 [aliman]
diego: main point is processing rule 6, about how evaluation context is transmitted from parent to child. a mistake in rule, at least something which is not clear. have suggested some possible fixes, would be happy with any of them. would be happy to see doc go forward, if this comment is addressed, the rest are minor comments.
08:08:22 [guus]
q?
08:09:01 [aliman]
ivan: let's separate two things. there are mistakes, things to change in the doc. Decision to publish should not depend on that level of techincal detail.
08:09:22 [aliman]
guus: but that is your opinion. if diego thinks that is serious, as a reviewer, that is his opinion.
08:09:53 [RalphS]
q+
08:10:01 [aliman]
mark: both sets of comments were really useful, showed really good understanding. absolutely accept if there confusions, then genuine confusions. then both curies and stack issue need to be addressed.
08:10:13 [aliman]
guus: too much work to block quick publication?
08:10:16 [RalphS]
q+ to recommend proceeding
08:10:31 [aliman]
mark: no, irony is implementations are better than processing description.
08:10:54 [aliman]
guus: summarise for this minutes as the "stack issue" ... so diego main thing you want fixed before publication?
08:11:18 [aliman]
diego: if fix comment about stack, then happy to publish as WD
08:11:56 [RalphS]
[could the Chair or scribe clarify, please, how much fixing Diego is asking for]
08:12:08 [aliman]
guus: assume we have one more WD before last call. directly after this meeting publish new WD. give public change to comment. i.e. publish within 1-2 weeks. then in 1-2 months, go for last call.
08:12:44 [aliman]
ralph: which of diego's stack suggestions are critical? accept mark
08:13:09 [edsu]
RalphS: diego's concerns were specifically about the 'stack'
08:13:26 [aliman]
... long time since publish update to any RDFa spec. like to see us publish. hopefully can fix in next WD. looking for clarification from deigo on specific pieces of the stack section which he thinks are critical.
08:13:31 [guus]
q?
08:13:42 [guus]
ack RalphS
08:13:42 [Zakim]
RalphS, you wanted to recommend proceeding
08:14:42 [aliman]
ivan: that was essence of my comment as well. try to be pragtmatic. hit publication moritorium in few weeks. if have to edit, hit moritoritum, then timing may go off. my preference is, even if there are mistakes, anything whiich can be fixed in 1-2 days should be fixed, otherwise publish, then try to get to last call in december. rather than get problems into doc now.
08:15:36 [aliman]
mark: split diego's comment into two parts: (1) idea of stack not good way to explain; (2) it's wrong. Suggest we follow your advice, still use idea of stack, but fix the error. before publication.
08:16:06 [RalphS]
[good; if we can tweak the words in the editors' draft to fix a bug, then consider a bigger rewrite in a future draft, that would be nice]
08:16:07 [aliman]
diego: agree with ivan's point. ok to publish as it is, if we document that there open issues on the document.
08:16:39 [seanb]

08:20:33 [aliman]
guus: move to next agenda item.
08:21:02 [aliman]
RESOLUTION: to publish RDFa syntax document as First Public Working Draft at the earliest possible convenience, no later than moritorium, taking into account comments of reviewers as far as possible, adding notes where there are open issues.
08:21:31 [aliman]
guus: next proposal, WG approves new version of primer for WD.
08:22:31 [mhausenblas]
-> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/primer/20070918/ RDFa Primer
08:23:03 [aliman]
ben: the primer has been updated to match the syntax, ??? has been updated to be less technical, more about events and contact information. now matches latest syntax. if don't have official reviews. do think pubolish new version soon is useful.
08:23:28 [aliman]
guus: first we need reviews, before publish again. postpone decision until we have two reviews from outside TF. is that a problem?
08:23:48 [RalphS]
[oops, Guus is right -- we forgot to ask for SWD reviewers for Primer]
08:23:54 [aliman]
ben: we did get at least review from ? although don't know if that counts. urgent to get new version out, so need volunteers today.

08:25:22 [aliman]
ralph: october 31 is last day we can ask for publication.
08:25:35 [aliman]
guus: two weeks, ok with you [antoine]?

08:29:03 [aliman]
guus: next agenda item ... last three proposals all to do with status of documents.
08:29:28 [aliman]
... understand TF is in favour of publishing syntax as rec, rest as note. Timing will be, publish others as note once rec is finished?
08:29:33 [aliman]
ivan: or goes to proposal
08:30:11 [RalphS]
q+
08:30:12 [aliman]
guus: note is end status. for the moment can stay as WD. notes only published once rec is final. e.g. if in rec process, need new test cases, then need to reopen note if published. note is end status in W3C.
08:30:15 [mhausenblas]

ivan: GRDDL published like that
08:30:28 [benadida]
Test Cases are not a note
08:30:33 [mhausenblas]
+1
08:30:37 [aliman]
mark: how does that affect our agreement timing?
08:30:57 [aliman]
guus: see proposal to publish primer as note, seems unlikely. minimum 6 months for rec, so also minimum timing for note.
08:31:56 [benadida]
I believe we meant to put on track to become a Note, not make it a note today
08:32:04 [mhausenblas]
-> http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#maturity-levels Maturity Levels
08:32:23 [aliman]
ralph: I think guus is right. note status is something like last call for rec doc. WG believes it's done, and doesn't expect to change. We can issue a new version of a note, but publishing as a note is really a statement to public that WG is done, doesn't expect any more work. I think guus is right, we should leave as WD, until confident unlikely to change any more. Once syntax doc is proposed rec, then freeze primer as a note. proposed rec stage time for note.
08:32:35 [aliman]
guus: did we publish RDFa use cases as WD?
08:32:38 [aliman]
ben: yes

08:33:16 [benadida]
we have not updated the use cases doc
08:33:17 [aliman]

... document package: syntax doc, primer, use cases, test cases.
08:33:36 [aliman]

08:34:30 [mhausenblas]
q+ to note on the RDFa TC
08:34:41 [aliman]
ivan: some groups have done that, choice of the group. RDF, OWL like that, other groups not. group decision, there is no rule.
08:34:49 [aliman]
guus: discussion on test cases as WD or not.
08:35:19 [mhausenblas]
q?
08:35:32 [aliman]
ralph: question of coverage and editorial time. if had the time, and test cases cover good part of spec, then should publish. TF didn't expect to do a test suite that would have enough coverage to justify editorial effort.
08:35:38 [aliman]
.... we have added tests over time.

http://isegserv.itd.rl.ac.uk/public/skos/2007/10/f2f/labelling-properties.html
12:01:23 [edsu]
Tom: goals are to agree on the semantics for the 3 labelling properties, and then agree on how to specify those semantics
12:01:44 [edsu]
Tom: alistair can we jump into subtopic A?
12:02:02 [edsu]
aliman: if anyone wants any background, let me know
12:02:24 [Simone]
Simone has joined #swd
12:02:30 [edsu]
aliman: discussion is just about the three uris: prefLabel, altLabel, hiddenLabel
12:02:38 [edsu]
RalphS: can you hear us ok?
12:02:52 [edsu]
aliman: sub-topic A is about the ranges
12:03:53 [edsu]
aliman: the options are 1) rdf plain literal 2) allow the range to be open ended and say that it includes plain literals and perhaps other things
12:04:29 [edsu]
... i prefer the 1st option because i think there are valuable semantics like disjointness and cardinality that become difficult to state with option 2
12:05:09 [edsu]
Antoine: could we postpone given the relationship between labels topic?
12:05:38 [edsu]
aliman: i'd like us to consider this in isolation
12:06:03 [edsu]
Jon: can we back this decision out if we need to reconsider during labelling relations discussion?
12:06:20 [edsu]
aliman: I don't see why not
12:06:36 [edsu]
Tom: I agree this is a very dependent decision
12:06:47 [edsu]
... if the consequences are too painful we can revisit
12:07:01 [edsu]
... i'd like to get a sense of where we stand with these 2 options
12:07:37 [edsu]
ivan: in practice you could also use strings for the same purpose
12:08:17 [edsu]
... pretty hair to express the union of strings and literals too
12:09:02 [edsu]
Antoine: how about someone could creat their own type that includes strings and literals
12:09:12 [edsu]
... I don't see the point in restricting to plain literals
12:09:47 [edsu]
aliman: i know how to express the disjointness and cardinality using plain literals ...
12:09:59 [edsu]
Antoine: are you sure we can't do this with typed literals?
12:10:10 [edsu]
aliman: can we move on to the next two?
12:11:38 [edsu]
aliman: in dcmi there were more general consequences of using literals, and here the issues are specific to expressing cardinality and disjointness

seanb: what are you trying to express in option 2?
12:16:45 [edsu]
moving on to Sub-Topic B: Disjoint Properties
12:17:31 [edsu]
aliman: put examples in the document of things that we shouldn't be able to say
12:17:51 [edsu]
... we need to be able to say these are pair-wise disjoint
12:17:58 [edsu]
... do we need to consider any other options
12:18:02 [edsu]
... ?
12:18:22 [edsu]
ivan: was the disjointness from english prose in the text?
12:18:54 [edsu]
guus: you mean "must" be pairwise disjoint, instead of "are"
12:19:09 [edsu]
guus: i can't think of any use case that would object to this
12:19:21 [edsu]
Antoine: I agree
12:19:38 [edsu]
tom: do we have consensus?
12:21:41 [edsu]
RESOLVED (for subtopic B) The property extensions of skos:prefLabel, skos:altLabel and skos:hiddenLabel must be pairwise disjoint
12:22:11 [edsu]
Antoine: the 3rd point is the cardinality of skos:prefLabel
12:22:37 [edsu]
... implicit in the decision to have a prefLabel is that there is only one prefLabel
12:23:39 [edsu]
... the first example is where the same resource has two prefLabels in the same language -- do we agree that there is something wrong with that?
12:24:03 [edsu]
... there is a complication where a language is written in different regions, or with different scripts
12:24:53 [edsu]
guus: once the language code changes you're allowed a new prefLabel
12:25:01 [edsu]
aliman: to be pragmatic we only have one choice

12:28:18 [edsu]
guus: so this decision was dependent on subtopic a
12:29:29 [edsu]
aliman: i tried to think of this independent of the design patterns
12:29:40 [edsu]
... a resource can have a preferred literal and only one per language
12:29:55 [edsu]
... our idea of a language comes from RFC 4646
12:30:15 [RalphS]
s/RalphS: thanks//

On the phone I see Ralph, [VrijeUni]
12:32:34 [RalphS]
[I'm more in favor of SHOULD NOT rather than MUST NOT ]
12:32:45 [edsu]
guus: we might not be able to express it
12:33:40 [edsu]
... not sure we have the machinery, but happy to go with this, if natural language is sufficiently precise this will be clear for implementors
12:33:47 [ShaneM]
ShaneM has left #swd
12:34:35 [edsu]
RalphS: how strongly do we feel that constraints need to be in OWL? if i understood guus correctly leaving a little flexibility here is good since we're dealing with natural languages
12:34:53 [edsu]
... constraints like MUST NOT are much stronger than what we need for applications like SKOS
12:35:16 [edsu]
tom: we are trying to get consensus on what we intend, and later talk about the best way to do it formally
12:35:38 [edsu]
guus: the statement is intentionally vaugue
12:36:09 [edsu]
s/vaugue/vague/
12:36:35 [RalphS]
[I just heard Guus say "... can not ..."; is that SHOULD NOT or MUST NOT?]
12:36:35 [edsu]
aliman: at this stage i was hoping we could agree on the sentences
12:37:22 [RalphS]
[I don't mind vagueness but the SHOULD [NOT] language seems to me to accommodate the necessary vagueness here]
12:38:04 [edsu]
[they are proposing to resolve with the text as is]
12:39:11 [edsu]
RESOLVED (for subtopic C) A resource cannot have more than one preferred lexical label per language (where it is assumed that each distinct tag allowed by RFC 4646 denotes a distinct "language").
12:40:40 [edsu]
aliman: here we are formally stating a semantic condition
12:41:07 [edsu]
seanb: i think the issue here is that this statement may not get expressed anywhere else
12:42:06 [edsu]
guus: skos is not the same thing as owl, we need to show developers what they should do
12:42:35 [edsu]
... they look for situations where they might find more than one prefLabel, and what should they do?
12:42:46 [RalphS]
[I'm not particularly in favor of telling apps what to do if they find a violation of a constraint]
12:43:12 [edsu]
sub-topic d: super property
12:43:26 [edsu]
aliman: at the moment they are all subclasses of rdfs:label
12:43:29 [RalphS]
[I'm confused -- did we change from "cannot" ? ]
12:43:34 [edsu]
... I can't see any reason to drop it
12:43:59 [edsu]
[RalphS we haven't ... maybe pipe up on phone to get them to go back]
12:44:29 [edsu]
aliman: we have resolved to build semantics on owl full, so i can't think of any reason to drop this
12:44:32 [RalphS]
[I'm not worried about OWL DL and think that more apps will usefully take advantage of rdfs:label
12:45:15 [edsu]
guus: it's a feature we often use, from the DL spec
12:45:23 [edsu]
seanb: i think that's fair enough
12:45:39 [edsu]
guus: won't hurt many people in the DL world
12:45:53 [RalphS]
[thanks, Ed; I'll let it pass for now. I would only object to a MUST NOT decision w.r.t. label disjointness constraints]
12:46:30 [edsu]
diego: i have concern about hiddenLabel because it might be get taken as a prefLabel
12:46:59 [edsu]
aliman: that's a good reason why you might drop it from being a subclass
12:47:27 [edsu]
guus: the problem with that distinction is the notion of authority
12:48:11 [edsu]
seanb: it seems strange to break the spec to cater to those who are not respecting the spec
12:48:39 [edsu]
guus: if a vocab owner wants to enforce it, they need some sort of authority set up, and that's outside the scope
12:48:59 [edsu]
... recurring theme, and we should deal w/ the issue as it is outside of scope
12:49:49 [edsu]
Antoine: is it worth noting that this is a problematic axiom?
12:50:36 [RalphS]
q+ to ask Alistair what sorts of free text searches this hiddenLabel semantics is meant to assist
12:50:49 [edsu]
guus: there are a few of these situations, would be useful to list carefully details about OWL DL
12:52:42 [edsu]
ACTION: alistair to update semantics document to listing ways in which ways SKOS diverges from OWL DL
12:53:03 [edsu]
RESOLVED skos:prefLabel, skos:altLabel and skos:hiddenLabel are all sub-properties of rdfs:label
12:53:16 [edsu]
ivan: would the list be kept with respect to owl 1.1?
12:53:37 [edsu]
guus: not going to make skos work dependent on newly formed working group
12:53:39 [RalphS]
q-
12:53:56 [edsu]
sub topic e: Formally Stating the Range Semantics
12:54:23 [edsu]
aliman: if we choose the range to be plain literals then how do we state that?
12:54:50 [edsu]
... we could use rdf triples to state the range, but there's no URI for rdf plain literals
12:55:52 [edsu]
... or we could use normative prose
12:56:13 [edsu]
guus: is this a problem?
12:56:14 [RalphS]
q+ to ask Alistair why he doesn't believe there's value in minting a URI for the subClass of rdfs:Literal wanted by SKOS
12:56:41 [edsu]
aliman: the question is how are we going to express our intentions, a valid question is whether it is worthwhile stating it formally
12:57:40 [edsu]
RalphS: why would minting the uri not haven any value?
12:57:53 [Zakim]
RalphS, you wanted to ask Alistair why he doesn't believe there's value in minting a URI for the subClass of rdfs:Literal wanted by SKOS
12:58:30 [edsu]
aliman: i didn't know any applications that would need that expressed in triples
12:58:34 [TomB]
TomB has joined #swd
12:58:55 [edsu]
RalphS: how is that different from the disjointness inferencing
12:59:12 [edsu]
aliman: if there's a clash between a prefLabel and an altLabel then applications would break
12:59:25 [edsu]
... but i'm not sure they need to do the same with it being a plain literal
13:00:38 [edsu]
RalphS: i agree about the range semantics, but you do seem to want to put the constraints into other places, there seems to be a mental model that you have that i'm trying to understand better
13:01:21 [edsu]
aliman: we should probably state things formally: either as rdf triples, or as some sort of prose
13:01:42 [edsu]
guus: are you trying to solve something that even the owl community hasn't tried to solve?
13:02:46 [edsu]
aliman: lets move on to the next subtopic then
13:03:12 [edsu]
TomB: aren't we saying that we want to move normative prose and agree on option 2?
13:03:51 [RalphS]
[if we're trying to drive a generic editor from these constraints then I can understand wanting to formally specify an rdfs:range -- however, I doubt that will be as useful for SKOS. The benefit of the rdfs:range on inferring the type of an Object is pretty small for SKOS IMHO]
13:05:23 [RalphS]
q+ to propose an auxiliary triple set whose purpose is to suggest more thorough validation of a [merged] graph
13:06:16 [edsu]
RalphS: we can make some auxiliarly triples available
13:06:20 [Zakim]
RalphS, you wanted to propose an auxiliary triple set whose purpose is to suggest more thorough validation of a [merged] graph
13:08:10 [edsu]
guus: it means (w/r/t issue 26) if you would need separate property for labels that represent literals and labels that represent resources
13:09:17 [edsu]
guus: i'm tempted to go in the direction of explicit labels
13:10:30 [edsu]
... the semantic conditions for one language get more difficult to express
13:10:45 [edsu]
aliman: i think i can state the language constraint :)
13:11:42 [edsu]
guus: at some point we have to swallow this potato
13:12:07 [edsu]

13:15:37 [RalphS]
(we can come back to the URI question when we decide how much to state formally in RDF)
13:16:39 [edsu]
guus: all semantic conditions for a prefLabel and a prefLabelResource would have to depend on a super-property
13:16:48 [edsu]
[guus is drawing on white board]
13:17:00 [edsu]
aliman: it's easier if you do two separate properties
13:17:37 [edsu]
guuss: prefLabel, altLabel and hiddenLabel also are dependent
13:17:51 [edsu]
... it's a potential issue
13:18:08 [edsu]

Antoine: Problem with plain literal as range.
13:25:47 [seanb]
...Two issues.
13:25:55 [seanb]
...1) Concepts linked to literals
13:26:03 [seanb]
...2) Concepts linked to resources
13:26:48 [seanb]
...If we have
13:27:02 [seanb]
...c skos:prefLabel R
13:27:09 [seanb]
...R label "shrub"
13:27:23 [seanb]
... then we create a new triple
13:27:35 [seanb]
...c skos:prefLabel "shrub"
13:27:57 [seanb]
...so any triple invovling the resource, would entail a triple invovling the literal.
13:28:42 [seanb]
...might actually be:
13:28:48 [seanb]
...c skos:prefLabelR R
13:29:33 [seanb]
...then can state conditions as "a concept can only have one prefLabel which is a literal".
13:29:59 [TomB]
scribe: edsu
13:30:36 [edsu]
RESOLVED (for subtopic e) # State in normative prose that the range of the SKOS lexical labelling properties is actually the class of RDF plain literals; retain the current declaration in RDF triples that the range of these properties is rdfs:Literal.

13:30:58 [edsu]
moving on to subtopic f
13:31:35 [edsu]
aliman: looking at ex:foo skos:prefLabel ex:bar
13:31:44 [edsu]
... all we get is ex:bar is a plain literal
13:31:50 [edsu]
... we could state a syntax constraint
13:32:23 [edsu]
... Firstly, do we want to state a syntax constraint? (yes/no)
13:32:30 [edsu]
... and if we do, how do we do it?
13:32:50 [edsu]
... we could use normative prose or sparql -- not much precedent for this
13:33:42 [edsu]
... and thirdly what do applications do with that constraint?
13:33:55 [edsu]
... does the application generate an error or quitely handle it?
13:34:15 [RalphS]
q+ to suggest that for purposes of SKOS we should not tell applications how to handle errors
13:34:37 [edsu]
TomB: i think you're making an assumption that if we do want to express contraints that we need to define application behavior
13:34:49 [edsu]
guuss: we can make a spec and say tools SHOULD ...
13:35:42 [edsu]
guuss: my proposal is that we have a general rule MUST, SHOULD or MAY and you might have some exceptions
13:36:49 [edsu]
aliman: what are the options for an application?
13:37:25 [edsu]
RalphS: i strongly think in this particular case we shouldn't advocate particular application behaviors
13:38:03 [edsu]
... don't want to madate the behavior of user interface
13:38:18 [edsu]
... do you want your cellphone to flag a warning when it encounters a skos error?
13:38:33 [edsu]
seanb: what's a skos application?
13:39:21 [edsu]
... we need to narrow down the applications that are consuming these things: vocabulary checker for example
13:39:32 [Zakim]
RalphS, you wanted to suggest that for purposes of SKOS we should not tell applications how to handle errors
13:39:42 [edsu]
aliman: what do we call this class of application?
13:39:50 [edsu]
seanb: it's a vocabulary checker
13:40:15 [edsu]
aliman: i'm happy to define a class of application and go from there
13:40:37 [edsu]
guus: i had vocabulary checker in my mind when we were talking about this
13:41:18 [edsu]
aliman: can we resolve that yes, we want to include contraints and a skos vocab checker must raise a warning
13:41:22 [RalphS]
if Guus:SKOSapplication is the subclass that is doing formal SKOS vocabulary checking, I'm more comfortable :)
13:43:47 [edsu]
RESOLVED that the application under discussion is a vocabulary checker, and what we're trying to decide is how a vocabulary checker should handle violations of constraints
13:45:23 [edsu]
RESOLVED where label properties are used as predicates the object must be a rdf plain literal
13:45:28 [RalphS]
as an editorial convention, then, for the benefit of our future readers I suggest we use a modifier term such as "validating application"
13:45:59 [edsu]
s/the application under/the validating application under/
13:46:05 [RalphS]
:)
13:46:49 [edsu]
moving on to sub topic G
13:47:04 [RalphS]
(I'm suggesting "validating application" in the REC spec too :)
13:48:07 [edsu]
aliman: here we come back to disjointness, and how we formally state it
13:48:16 [edsu]
... one option is to use some prose
13:48:52 [edsu]
... we could use the conventions set out in rdf-semantics
13:48:54 [danbri]
danbri has joined #swd
13:49:13 [edsu]
guuss: if we follow the first approach there will be someone who writes a document for these formal semantics
13:49:38 [RalphS]
will any of our expected readers want to see the degree of formal semantic language used in [RDF-SEMANTICS] ?
13:49:48 [edsu]
guuss: i would be very happy w/ the first option
13:50:04 [Elisa]
Elisa has joined #swd

13:52:04 [edsu]
RalphS: it seems to me the community of practice might be more comfortable with option 1
13:52:45 [edsu]
aliman: the idea would be the skos semantics would be rigorous, and the skos primer would have the less technical description
13:53:17 [Zakim]
Ralph, you wanted to suggest there's grave risk in making SKOS look complicated
13:56:16 [RalphS]
(actually, to clarify, I believe there's grave risk in making the principal SKOS Recommendation document look complicated]
13:56:22 [edsu]
guuss: there are advantages to unamgibuously stating things
13:56:28 [edsu]
seanb: it's a trade off

Elisa: collect has been collected from different people...
14:11:21 [Antoine]
... overview of several topic area that we think are important
14:11:54 [Antoine]
... to give people pointers to work out there, best practices
14:12:07 [Antoine]
... not list of exact receipes
14:12:25 [Antoine]
... for a number of problems there is not necessarily one good way
14:12:43 [Antoine]
... this document tells what you should think about when creating your RDF voc
14:13:15 [Antoine]
... [listing of the different parts of the document]
14:14:19 [Antoine]
... the issue is very important for metadata mngt in general
14:14:35 [Antoine]
... linked to some documents released by OMG?
14:15:18 [Antoine]
... which has been using the term "ontology" for a while
14:15:58 [Antoine]
... OMG has issued a "document management scheme"
14:16:06 [Antoine]
... with issues that are of interest
14:17:48 [Antoine]
... the first thing I'm looking for from the group is to step back
14:18:04 [Antoine]
... considering briefly what exists eg with XML schema
14:18:30 [Antoine]
... and makes people comfortable
14:18:56 [Antoine]
... also commercial perspective, w/ vocabularies living a lot longer than imagined
14:20:26 [Antoine]
... also a standardisation aspect (government concerns, LoC)
14:21:42 [Antoine]
Guus: observation: given our resources, it would be wiser to focus on RDF vocs
14:22:02 [Antoine]
Tom: I'd be relunctant to extend the scope outside of RDF
14:22:27 [Antoine]
... but if we did have a well-formulated set of principles for RDF
14:22:37 [Antoine]
... it could be useful for other kinds of vocs
14:22:43 [Antoine]
Elisa: I agree
14:23:34 [Antoine]
Guus: question: current doc has 5 sections: are these the 5 that are adequate?
14:24:08 [Antoine]
Elisa: yes, but one more topic (perhaps under documentation): provenance
14:24:28 [Antoine]
... when developing your ontologies, pointing at sources
14:24:40 [Antoine]
... we should inclue that
14:25:02 [Antoine]
Guus: question about authority: which part of the vocabulary published on the web is yours
14:25:06 [Antoine]
... is it included?
14:25:20 [Antoine]
Elisa: not. It could be related to provenance, but is separate
14:25:52 [Antoine]
Guus: if you use broader link between 2 vocs: which triples do you sanction then?
14:25:55 [edsu]
Elisa: it seems somewhat related to "An RDF description of an RDF vocabulary should be published. Potential users should be clearly informed as to which is the 'authoritative' RDF description of an RDF vocabulary." in there
14:27:06 [Antoine]
Ralph: we just have the policy to put it in your namespace
14:27:29 [Antoine]
Guus: you can have a guideline on using ontologies and owl:import
14:27:34 [RalphS]
we'll want to do more trust statements eventually, but I don't think we want to try to tackle that in the current lifetime of this WG
14:28:22 [Antoine]
Elisa: first section on URI for naming with discussion on Cool URIs is in shape
14:28:32 [Antoine]
... needs perhaps a few URIs
14:28:44 [Antoine]
... and examples (bioportal?)
14:29:05 [Antoine]
... the second section could be added with information from the work of OMG
14:29:10 [danbri]
(to comment from sidelines ... I'd suggest "an" authoritative, rather than "the" authority. The word "the" is appropriate to indicate there is but one authority, ... but that authority might write various descriptions)
14:29:29 [Antoine]
... including DC and SKOS as considerations
14:29:34 [danbri]
(esp with xml-sig or pgp-signed statements, descriptions can be scattered)
14:29:41 [RalphS]
(there's clear overlap between the
14:29:46 [Antoine]
... the third section is an area that needs help
14:30:06 [RalphS]
"readable documentation" section and the SWEO URI note on content negotiation)
14:30:11 [Antoine]

q+ to comment on maintenance policies -- make or buy?
14:31:08 [Antoine]

Vit: people use subversion, CVS, detecting the syntactic changes

Guus: many vocabularies are reinventing the wheel
14:57:01 [Antoine]
Vit: the survey was meant as requirement analysis
14:57:14 [Antoine]
... not exactly in details e.g. on how people use CVS

15:09:01 [Antoine]
... we have not questioned the headings of the text

15:09:34 [Antoine]
... e.g. versioning policy for Dublin Core
15:09:52 [Antoine]
... but not to try to build up a substantial set of guidelines

... would it be valueable to have such a document?
15:10:58 [Antoine]
Elisa: I agree with Tom
15:11:31 [Antoine]
... we could point to the result of the survey in a paragraph
15:12:34 [Antoine]

... define 5 or 7 sections, allocate person for sections

Ralph: suggestion for Vit: survey was anonymous, but identification of examples is possible
15:14:39 [Antoine]
Guus: we all agree on this. Vit and Elisa can come with annotated version of the document
15:14:49 [Antoine]
... with actions to be taken by persons
15:16:04 [Antoine]
ACTION: on Vit and Elisa to include in the document all the target sections plus an allocation of sections to people and potentially a standard structure for sections
15:17:06 [Antoine]

... they did document the current status, as provided by TAG and others
15:34:42 [Antoine]

Ivan, could you ask Leo to correct the Status of this Document to say that it's an editors' draft of a future IG Note. Perhaps you're not ready to solicit public comments just yet, but ask readers to wait until it is published?
15:47:21 [edsu]
RalphS: ivan says for you to send mail on this, because he has disconnected
15:47:29 [RalphS]
roger, Ed; thanks
15:48:21 [edsu]
(from ivan) actually, I will edit; he does not have an access to this document, I just make a snapshot of it (we agreed with Leo)\
