17:18:54 <Elisa> Topic: General Discussion

3. General Discussion

17:19:35 <Elisa> Alan: there were some concerns with easy keys, one had to do with implementation, the other had to do with being at risk since there were no implementations yet

Alan Ruttenberg: there were some concerns with easy keys, one had to do with implementation, the other had to do with being at risk since there were no implementations yet (link)

17:20:10 <Elisa> Boris: so, I've been thinking about implementation -- in email I tried to explain why I don't think this is trivial and on the other hand why it might work.

Boris Motik: so, I've been thinking about implementation -- in email I tried to explain why I don't think this is trivial and on the other hand why it might work. (link)

<Elisa> ... In order to explain the details, you need to be involved in tableaux algorithms. For the moment I would say that this is work in progress, and then we shall see whether or not it goes into the spec.

17:21:28 <Elisa> Alan: Does that mean it cannot be implemented using rule-based techniques?

Alan Ruttenberg: Does that mean it cannot be implemented using rule-based techniques? (link)

17:21:48 <Elisa> Boris: in rule-based techniques it is much easier

Boris Motik: in rule-based techniques it is much easier (link)

17:22:04 <MarkusK> Re Boris (the problem is in existentials): this is not the case for EL++, where the existentials are also harmless

Markus Krötzsch: Re Boris (the problem is in existentials): this is not the case for EL++, where the existentials are also harmless (link)

17:22:04 <Elisa> Boris: The problems arise when you get these existentially introduced individuals.

Boris Motik: The problems arise when you get these existentially introduced individuals. (link)

17:22:48 <Elisa> Bijan: I think we need to keep a distinction between it being easy in all cases and easy in key cases and easy for users to write properly.

Bijan Parsia: I think we need to keep a distinction between it being easy in all cases and easy in key cases and easy for users to write properly. (link)

17:23:00 <bmotik> Markus, why do you think this?

Boris Motik: Markus, why do you think this? (link)

17:23:12 <Elisa> Bijan: So it's clear that the much easier keys, where you look for explicit data values, rather than data ranges, is going to be easier, but that's always going to be the case.

Bijan Parsia: So it's clear that the much easier keys, where you look for explicit data values, rather than data ranges, is going to be easier, but that's always going to be the case. (link)

17:23:29 <MarkusK> Boris, because you can compile EL++ into Datalog, and use a rule based reasoning too

Markus Krötzsch: Boris, because you can compile EL++ into Datalog, and use a rule based reasoning too (link)

17:23:38 <Elisa> Bijan: If you enumerate, or define finite subsets of individuals you may have trouble there, so I'm wondering what standard Boris thinks we need for scalability.

17:23:56 <MarkusK> ... where the compilation is trivial

17:24:08 <Elisa> Bijan: We could put a restriction on the data properties, but that seems unfortunate in this case.

Bijan Parsia: We could put a restriction on the data properties, but that seems unfortunate in this case. (link)

17:24:45 <Elisa> Ivan: in some ways I agree with what Bijan just said ... in some ways easy keys seems an important set of use cases.

Ivan Herman: in some ways I agree with what Bijan just said ... in some ways easy keys seems an important set of use cases. (link)

17:25:02 <Carsten> +1 to ivan

Carsten Lutz: +1 to ivan (link)

17:25:18 <Elisa> Ivan: It seems doable in OWL-R, and with some difficulty in OWL DL, but that doesn't seem a good argument.

Ivan Herman: It seems doable in OWL-R, and with some difficulty in OWL DL, but that doesn't seem a good argument. (link)

17:25:37 <Elisa> Uli: We know the harmful and harmless cases and can distinguish them.

17:25:53 <MarkusK> +1 to Uli: there are other ways to break reasoning already

Markus Krötzsch: +1 to Uli: there are other ways to break reasoning already (link)

17:26:01 <Elisa> Uli: If you want to break the reasoning you can do this -- I don't see the difference between this case and other cases in OWL DL.

Uli Sattler: If you want to break the reasoning you can do this -- I don't see the difference between this case and other cases in OWL DL. (link)

17:26:12 <bijan> Or to rephrase it, would people prefer to have a syntactic restriction on key properties or to have potential nonscalable cases.

Bijan Parsia: Or to rephrase it, would people prefer to have a syntactic restriction on key properties or to have potential nonscalable cases. (link)

17:26:31 <Elisa> Alan: Perhaps it makes sense to distinguish between the two cases -- handle the easier case in the first pass, and then have a pass if possible.

Alan Ruttenberg: Perhaps it makes sense to distinguish between the two cases -- handle the easier case in the first pass, and then have a pass if possible. (link)

17:27:10 <bijan> (It's easier to spec easy keys than easy peasy keys)

17:27:17 <Zakim> bmotik, you wanted to answer to Ivan

Zakim IRC Bot: bmotik, you wanted to answer to Ivan (link)

17:27:35 <Elisa> Uli: If we can leave it with the easy case, then the easy keys become "easy-peasy".

Uli Sattler: If we can leave it with the easy case, then the easy keys become "easy-peasy". (link)

17:28:05 <bijan> (Right, easy keys dumb down to easy-peasy keys in e.g., owl-r)

Bijan Parsia: (Right, easy keys dumb down to easy-peasy keys in e.g., owl-r) (link)

17:28:07 <Elisa> Boris: in OWL-R both are the same -- I wasn't necessarily advocating for only easy-peasy keys.  I do believe that there is a difference, though, because of the complexity of the algorithms.  But we have had some validation of these features - SNOMED, Galen, where we have empirically demonstrated that you can use the existing constructs and not get into problems.  The email I wrote talked about difficulties that could arise.

17:30:03 <Elisa> Bijan: We haven't had implementation experience, but you believe that the examples are going to be relatively common.

Bijan Parsia: We haven't had implementation experience, but you believe that the examples are going to be relatively common. (link)

17:30:12 <Elisa> Boris: Yes

Boris Motik: Yes (link)

17:30:29 <Elisa> Bijan: So let's say that it turns out to be harder in that case, what's your strategy for it?

Bijan Parsia: So let's say that it turns out to be harder in that case, what's your strategy for it? (link)

17:30:43 <pfps> if there are no implementations, then keys *have* to be dumped, right?

Peter Patel-Schneider: if there are no implementations, then keys *have* to be dumped, right? (link)

17:30:49 <alanr> yes

Alan Ruttenberg: yes (link)

17:31:12 <Elisa> Boris: if it turns out in these typical cases where you go beyond OWL-R, then ... I would really suggest that we keep these two things separate

17:31:32 <Elisa> Boris: We would have something in the language that doesn't really fit. Perhaps given the implementation we will know how to put the proper disclaimer on it.

Boris Motik: We would have something in the language that doesn't really fit. Perhaps given the implementation we will know how to put the proper disclaimer on it. (link)

17:32:06 <Elisa> Bijan: I still didn't quite understand the alternative to dumping keys altogether.

Bijan Parsia: I still didn't quite understand the alternative to dumping keys altogether. (link)

17:32:23 <Elisa> Boris: you could consider them DL-safe rules, or define them outside the spec.

Boris Motik: you could consider them DL-safe rules, or define them outside the spec. (link)

17:32:42 <Elisa> Bijan: you do advocate dumping them from our spec and keeping them outside?

Bijan Parsia: you do advocate dumping them from our spec and keeping them outside? (link)

17:33:00 <Elisa> Boris: Well it depends on the results of the implementation experience, but yes.

17:33:23 <bijan> No

Bijan Parsia: No (link)

17:33:29 <Elisa> Alan: Would it help to have more time? I wouldn't mind having another week to figure out some way forward to putting these in the spec, perhaps at least easy-peasy keys.

17:34:13 <bmotik> +1 to Uli

Boris Motik: +1 to Uli (link)

17:34:48 <Elisa> Uli: What would help to sort this out would be to see use cases, and if nobody uses datatype predicates on them, then we will know that easy keys are not more difficult than easy peasy keys, and we could check syntactically, and I agree with Boris that we don't have other cases like that in there.

17:36:09 <uli> Michael, we can't define a semantics for these - or can you?

17:36:41 <Elisa> Boris: as long as the assertions contain constants, it isn't too bad, the issue is when you have individuals that can be interpreted in any way

Boris Motik: as long as the assertions contain constants, it isn't too bad, the issue is when you have individuals that can be interpreted in any way (link)

17:37:07 <Elisa> Bijan: Can I just point out that there is a pretty extensive discussion on the easy keys page

17:37:43 <Elisa> Ivan: So one more thing - I can't really comment on the DL side, but I would object to removing the keys from OWL-R, where it isn't really a problem. I certainly don't think that removing from the whole spec is justifiable

17:42:49 <Elisa> Bijan: I think that Uli pointed out that in one of these cases there has been a huge battle/desire/complaints for keys, not so much for top and bottom property, so I think it's easier to drop these. There is different motivation for these, for keys it's a huge wart on the language, but we can request implementation and see what happens. So there is always a wide balance of considerations, and no one was trying to suggest otherwise. Whether we keep this on a separate page or include them is a different issue now -- we're at the implementation stage and need to see whether or not we can do them.

18:17:00 <Elisa> Alan: Issue 109 is a question of what namespace to use for the OWL XML schema, and whether or not it should be distinct from or the same as what we're using for the RDF/XML OWL namespace

18:22:28 <Elisa> Carsten: If we want to consider adding this, is it interesting enough to become rec?  That's not a very strong point for adding it - we already have one data complexity profile, so I'm not really convinced.

18:23:06 <Elisa> Bijan: The other thing is that there are modeling problems that fall into hornSHIQ that are not relevant to the other data complexity profile - that's where he's coming from, otherwise i agree with you in general, but Christian was coming from both a modeling and performance perspective.

18:24:56 <Carsten> ok

18:25:27 <Elisa> Alan: I meant modeling in the sense of the inference you could make from it -- and whether the use case was compelling enough and the performance gain compelling enough to consider.

18:25:35 <bijan> Well, hornSHIQ can be compiled to (potentially exponentially many) datalog rules. KAON2 shows that performance (in that case) is pretty reasonable. In that sense, it's sort ofa  "maximal" DLP

18:25:53 <Carsten> maximal in OWL*2*?

Carsten Lutz: maximal in OWL*2*? (link)

18:26:11 <bijan> So we could respond: It's unclear that hornSHIQ is a profile that will have enough implementor and user support to be a viable profile, esp. given how many fragments we already have. If you would like the WG to reconsider, could you provide some more information...

18:26:23 <Elisa> Alan: So - we have on one hand some people are saying well use OWL DL, we have too many fragments already and it isn't sufficiently compelling; the alternative would be to say we will investigate a little more and you should talk with our requirements people about it.
