<bijan> Really?!?!?

<bijan> What part of the rdf document forbids that?

<scribe> ACTION: jeremy to show why rdfs:datatype and owl:DataRange are different [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/14-owl-minutes.html#action13]

<trackbot-ng> Sorry, couldn't find user - jeremy

<DougL> Someone has their mike on, and it's causing a delayed feedback... please turn it off

<sandro> jeremy, could you please mute, due to echo?

<DougL> or switch to nonspeakerphone

<DougL> thanks

<jeremy> (feel free to mute me on my behalf if I forget)

Bijan: Using XML Schema's namespace requires doing in a way they can accept. In particular, need approval for using their namespace.
... A URI is different from a qualified name. Only true in RDF land.

<sandro> Bijan: A qname is *not* an abbreviation for a URI. It is a pair.

<sandro> Bijan: Concatenation is sanction by the RDF specs, for use in RDF -- but not widely accepted in XML.

<jeremy> +1 to giving XML Schema WG some say

<sandro> Bijan: If we're introducing an alternative serialization for XSD definitions, then XML Schema WG should be involved.

<sandro> Alan: One issue is polutiong (squatting) a namespace. Another is using a term the namespace publisher has defined.

<sandro> Peter: Yes, but XSD-WG did not define minInclusive, etc, as being in this namespace.

<alanr> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2007Sep/0043.html

Bijan: Can't use existing element as attribute or vice-versa.

<sandro> Bijan: I think there's a syntax issue here, too, eg using minInclusive as an attribute when it's defined as an element, or some such.

Bijan; You can derive a URI from a qname, but the XML WG might not approve of the URI.

<alanr> even if they have defined the qname and used it

<pfps> there is a tag issue on this http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/issues.html#rdfmsQnameUriMapping-6

<alanr> Mike Smith is Liason to the XML Schema working group

<Carsten> After the discussion we had on of n-ary datatypes, I actually believe that using XML Schema for defining

<Carsten> datatypes is a very bad idea in general, i.e., *also for unary datatypes*. I am not sure, though, whether it

<Carsten> makes sense to bring this up now. I will write a mail.

<scribe> ACTION: Mike to take the issue of URI/qname approival from XML WG [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/14-owl-minutes.html#action14]

<trackbot-ng> Sorry, couldn't find user - Mike

<scribe> ACTION: MikeSmith to take the issue of URI/qname approival from XML WG [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/14-owl-minutes.html#action15]

<trackbot-ng> Sorry, couldn't find user - MikeSmith

<bijan> I can't find the translation to RDF of the datatype facets

<sandro> ACTION: Smith to take the issue of URI/qname approival from XML WG [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/14-owl-minutes.html#action16]

<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-17 - Take the issue of URI/qname approival from XML WG [on Michael Smith - due 2007-11-21].

<jeremy> fine

<bijan> Ah, table 5

<scribe> ACTION: Jeremy to edit issue 29 to deal with RDFS data type [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/14-owl-minutes.html#action17]

<trackbot-ng> Sorry, couldn't find user - Jeremy

<alanr> mike will spawn new issue, jeremy will add note to issue 29 saying it it narrower

Issue 31

<sandro> ACTION: Carroll to edit issue 29 to deal with RDFS data type [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/14-owl-minutes.html#action18]

<trackbot-ng> Sorry, couldn't find user - Carroll

<sandro> trackbot-ng, list users

<sandro> trackbot-ng, help

<trackbot-ng> See http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/ for help (use the IRC bot link)

<bijan> Did XML schema ever finish component designators?

<sandro> trackbot-ng, status

<Uli> jeremy, i still can't understand you

Alan: We can define datatypes in XML, and if we lefft everything alone, could import documents with XML datatypes. WOuld be annoying because of one file per datatype.

<Uli> it's an option, but do we need to take their semantics?

<ewallace> datatypes could be defined in one document

Jeremy: Can put multiple datatypes on same file with different ID's.

<Uli> i.e., do we need to take the XSD semantics as well if we use their datatypes?

<pfps> yes, that would assume that we take the XSD semantics - of course, we could restrict the allowable syntax (I guess)

<bijan> WE already do :)

<bijan> perhaps the liaison should ask

<bijan> I'm on the queue

<Zakim> bijan, you wanted to say we should pick a winner

<ewallace> -1 on not allowing use of outside defined xml datatypes if we are using the syntax

<jeremy> yes, I agree with Bijan too

<pfps> I don't see much need to either point to external XSD documents or reuse the XSD syntax

Bijan: Need both inlining and referencing datatypes.

<ewallace> if we use the XML syntax people are going to expect to be able to reuse XML datatypes

<pfps> If we do use the XSD syntax, then there is no reason not to allow pointing to external XSD documents

<Zakim> jeremy, you wanted to suggest way forward

Bijan: WOuld rather have one way of referencing datatypes.

Jeremy: Final document does have one way (picks a winner).

<bijan> -1 to not solving it even if XML Schema fails

Alan: Would be good to settle ourrequirements on this.

<pfps> it's not that we don't need the datatypes, it's that I don't think that we *need* the syntax

Alan: Heard four opinions on requirements so far.

<bijan> Submission doesn't make a choice

<pfps> no mechanism for datatype import in OWL 1.1

<ewallace> No.

Peter: No mechanism for datatype import in the member submission.

<jeremy> I think the BP WG Note should be on the table

Alan; Any objection to discussion on email on requirements?

<jeremy> jena uses that too

<jeremy> (that = DAML+OIL soln as documented in SWBP WG Note)

Bijan: No bias in sub mission against importing.

Evan: MIght as well use best practices, otherwise fall bak to inline.

<bijan> Some is better than none

<pfps> where is the DAML+OIL solution?

Alan: Agreement to discuss on mailing list?

<jeremy> In a version of BP note, maybe one before last

<bijan> http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-xsch-datatypes-20050427/#sec-daml-soln

<Zakim> jeremy, you wanted to note status

<scribe> ACTION: Mike to lead discussion on this. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/14-owl-minutes.html#action19]

<trackbot-ng> Sorry, couldn't find user - Mike

<MikeSmith> conrad, I think it will work if you use Smith

<bijan> I would rather datatype identification be in a spec, near the inline syntax for user defined datatype, but that's fine

<bijan> +1 to getting info from XML Schema WG

Mike, I tried that earlier.

<ewallace> some bits of the issues Jeremy has brought up with n-ary datatype are also in the BP note

<ewallace> so this needs to be reviewed before this were to be published by us

<ewallace> I would like to be included in the datatypes discussion group

<bijan> What about XML SCheam syntax?

<jeremy> (I think I am done, but I am happy for others to continue)

<jeremy> no opinion

Clarification of Mike's last ACTION: to convene half-hour telecon on data types issue

<Uli> I would like to be included in the datatype sub-group discussion, too

Alan scribing

<Carsten> I would also like to be in the datatype group

Ontology elements.

<alanr> suggested in the xml syntax have a mandatory uri on the ontology

<MikeSmith> for xml schema discussion, I will use the minutes to co-ordinate info, if anyone else wants to be include, be sure to chime in here

<pfps> what happens with local names if you don't have an ontology name?

<alanr> relax that proposition

<pfps> ah, right, currently in OWL 1.1 there are no relative IRIs

<sandro> (sorry, do we have a scribe...?)

<bijan> No

<sandro> scribenick: alan

<alanr> alan raises imports processing issues in relations

<sandro> Bijan: Tools should not use the Ontology Name to check for inclusion cycles.

<sandro> Alan: but protege-4 does that.

<sandro> Bijan: I think that's a bug

<sandro> Alan: Matthew believes it's right, I think....

<sandro> Alan: And it's not that he's confused. He's sure his approach is right.

<sandro> Alan: If this issue can proceed independently, something something something.

<sandro> Bijan: Definition of ontology closure can be separated from ontology naming.

<alanr> the basic issue is what happens when you say owl:imports "foo"

<sandro> Bijan: We could just use XML Include, and things would come out pretty much the same.

<sandro> Bijan: If nothing else is different other than the ontology name.... I don't know what one would make of that.

<sandro> Bijan: Import closure reaches a fixpoint when doing more imports doesn't add anything.

<sandro> Alan: Your defining an import-processing-model, calling in 'include', in which the ontology name doesn't matter.

<pfps> in OWL 1.0 the ontology name doesn't matter

<pfps> in OWL 1.1 the ontology name does matter

<sandro> Peter: in 1.0 import is defined completely independently of ontology names.

<bijan> REALLY!?!??!!

<sandro> Peter: in 1.1, it's completely different. [ some O....O' definition ]

<bijan> Omg, OWL 1.1 is broken there

<sandro> Alan: If one wants to sign the ontology, ....

<bijan> """An ontology O directly imports an ontology O' if O contains an import declaration whose value is the ontology URI of O'."""

<sandro> Peter: I'm not saying what it should be, I'm saying what 1.1 says.

<bijan> I see why matthew was confused

<bijan> Because OWL 1.1 got it wrong :)

<sandro> Let's deprecate owl:imports!!!!!!!!!!

<bijan> +1 to xml:include

<bijan> http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-semantics/direct.html#3.4

<bijan> Aside from this local meaning, an owl:imports annotation also imports the contents of another OWL ontology into the current ontology. The imported ontology is the one, if any, that has as name the argument of the imports construct. (This treatment of imports is divorced from Web issues. The intended use of names for OWL ontologies is to make the name be the location of the ontology on the Web, but this is outside of this formal treatment.)

<sandro> Alan: there is a requirement from users that people be able to sign their ontologies, include metadata, include versioning, ....

<ewallace> Alan notes a common requirement to annotate ontologies with metadata such as author

<sandro> Bijan: The 1.1 defn is a bug because it's less-liberal than 1.0, so it's not backward compatible.

<sandro> MikeSmith, when you use "/me" like that, it's left out of the IRC log.

<pfps> an email on problems with OWL 1.0 imports would be useful

<sandro> Bijan: I think we should align the current specs with OWL 1.1

<sandro> Bijan: ... and then think about a deeper redesign, eg using XML Include.

<ewallace> Alan proposes a breakout session at F2F1 where we can meet with Alan Rector, etc and talk about reqs

<sandro> Alan: I don't know anyone who like owl:import as is.

<ewallace> and possible designs to address them

<MikeSmith> I note (to be logged) that xml:include may be a path to datatype import as well. Something to revisit.

<Uli> sounds good

<alanr> ACTION: Alan to brain dump on owl imports issue to mailing list [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/14-owl-minutes.html#action20]

<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-18 - Brain dump on owl imports issue to mailing list [on Alan Ruttenberg - due 2007-11-21].

<sandro> Peter: should rich annotations be on the agenda at F2F1?

<bijan> I believe alan rector is only available on the first day, but I shall check

<bijan> Sean and Matthew are available both days

<alanr> ACTION: Alan to include imports, possibility of annotations as subject for f2f [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/14-owl-minutes.html#action21]

<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-19 - Include imports, possibility of annotations as subject for f2f [on Alan Ruttenberg - due 2007-11-21].

<sandro> ADJOURN

<alanr> Sandro, minutes?

<Uli> bye

<Ratnesh> Bye

<ewallace> rich annotations should be an agenda item on the next telecon
