Since these are two different audiences 17:38:53 and the documents aimed at them have different goals, it makes a lot of 17:38:54 sense to break the work product of this WG into different documents or 17:38:56 document sets split along these lines. This is what WebOnt did and 17:38:57 what the deliverables in our charter reflect. 17:39:01 agree with evan's email 17:39:13 +1 17:39:24 content providers will drive use cases and requirements 17:39:33 tool vendors will build tools around content 17:39:55 one way of writing is to start with UC and functional reqs 17:40:03 and then move to technologies 17:40:15 when presented to users likely to have higher acceptance 17:40:28 maybe one more audience - people who want to deeply and securely understand *exactly* what the specification says. This is very important and one of the current strengths of the OWL effort 17:40:32 Content of specs remains the same 17:40:36 agree with jeremy that UC is a good place to start 17:40:39 document content is not the same as technical content 17:40:43 it is to do with presentation 17:40:53 (Jeremy is reporting Vipul not my own pov) 17:41:29 Users: Clinical modelers, bioinformatics people, 17:41:29 "owl 1.1 supports path expression" may be meaningless to medical person 17:41:49 but domain specific example using path expressions will 17:41:53 +Evan_Wallace 17:42:06 some specific example that I didn't understand 17:42:47 ability to locate fractures seems to me to be maybe too possibly misleading 17:42:56 jeremy: noted food and wine from OWL 1.0 17:42:56 better: Can locate fracture, and from positions of fractures, classify "multiple fractures" 17:43:09 q? 17:43:23 +Elisa_Kendall 17:43:37 Alan: talks about expressivity 17:43:56 a distinguishing factor in OWL is what you can infer in OWL 17:44:02 not what you can represent 17:44:07 +queue 17:44:22 Elisa has joined #owl 17:44:22 (feel free to interrupt - but I will fo ryou) 17:44:41 Conrad has joined #owl 17:44:56 q? 17:45:05 alan: what sort of computations are needed in UCR 17:45:15 +q Conrad 17:45:18 -Alan 17:45:27 q+ 17:45:34 in overview 1.0 each construct had one sentence describing it, and one sentence describing computation 17:45:53 +Alan 17:46:04 phone ran out of battery 17:46:06 deb wants to see style of overview and guide updated, and likes having additional docs for new areas of users 17:46:44 vipul OWL 1.1 allows you to say same things 9about fractures) more intuitively than OWL 1.0 17:47:09 q? 17:47:26 zakim, unmute me 17:47:26 pfps should no longer be muted 17:47:28 ack dlm 17:47:48 which audience is the overview aimed at 17:47:54 ? 17:47:59 ack Conrad 17:48:14 Conrad: concur with Vipul about goals 17:48:36 -1 to leaving it *only* to the market 17:48:39 Conrad: while we could have UFD done by market, it is important to community to have approved W3C docs that are UF 17:48:49 to give coherence and momentum 17:48:59 Conrad: I found owl-ref most useful UFD 17:49:03 vipul: q+ 17:49:31 q? 17:50:08 Elisa has joined #owl 17:50:20 ?q 17:50:20 peter: on behalf of bijan: if we have too many ufds we will be rushing off in too many directions 17:50:35 peter: I hear unwarranted praise of owl-ref 17:50:47 I used the reference document first too, but I'm not representative 17:50:48 peter: users are not going to look at RDF/XML, not real users 17:51:08 peter: my colleagues would tar and feather me if I made them read that 17:51:29 alan: I find it useful when file editing 17:51:38 peter, unfortunately you are wrong.

Pick that person carefully. 17:56:25 owl normative docs do not include summaries etc 17:56:48 vipul: i see value in UFDs having same distribution channel to normative docs 17:56:50 informative is easier, but because of this, it can be more damaging when wrong, and more likely to be wrong because inadequate scrutiny given by WG, given importance of normtive 17:57:23 zakim, unmute me 17:57:23 pfps should no longer be muted 17:57:30 http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-features/ 17:57:35 pfps: owl 1.1 overview is short 17:57:49 (peter please put pointer) 17:58:03 question who is the target reader?

The computational problems that would arise if this were treated as in RDF are avoided by ensuring that no aspect of the use of the name as an individual has any effect on the meaning of the name as a class. Such a treatment of metamodeling is often called punning. 18:01:46 pfps: I disagree - particularly on metamodelling 18:01:56 alan: who is quoted text aimed at? 18:02:21 pfps: i think that text is targetted at people who know something, but maybe not much, about OWL 1.0 18:02:37 pfps: this is introducing something that was a problem, but is now solved 18:02:53 q? 18:03:06 [alan?] no one gets punning 18:03:20 pfps: a tutorial document would be long, but that sentence helps 18:04:30 alan: and where do they go next to expand on this para ... 18:04:32 I like the notion of "field testing" the overview and user facing documents 18:04:57 field testing is called first public working draft!!
