Action item review

ACTION-47 declared accomplished by Jeremy

Peter Patel-Schneider: jeremy has done this adequately
Jeremy Carroll: yes


Alan Ruttenberg: Which reminds: Agenda item - quick check in about having UFDTF documentation meeting this coming monday at usual schedule.

ACTION-38 continued until next week

ACTION-39 continued until imports task force

ACTION-42 continued until next week

Peter Patel-Schneider: I think that Sandro has done the action

ACTION-44 pretty much done; close when docs are published

ACTION-45 dependant on Sandro's Test related action

ACTION 51 continued until next week

ACTION-53 progress has been made


Sandro Hawke: I have an internal target of next Tues.

Peter Patel-Schneider: but the content is already available for review - why the serialization

Alan Ruttenberg: We have a procedure wherein the chairs take a week

Sandro Hawke: Why not parallelize the review?

general acclaim and agreement from IanH and alanr

Alan Ruttenberg: some issues with status

Sandro Hawke: some issues with abstract

Peter Patel-Schneider: I like the way the abstracts read.

James Hendler: I don't like the abstracts

Alan Ruttenberg: We shouldn't touch the abstracts now. Jim can file an issue and then we'll link to the issue.

James Hendler: it's a document review issue not a content issue.

Ian Horrocks: We're just acting on the resolution of the F2F and the current text is already agreed to.

Alan Ruttenberg: +1 to no changes now.
Boris Motik: +1 to no changes now
Zakim: jjc, you wanted to suggest Jim does a review after publication
Sandro Hawke: I apologize for bringing up the edit-the-abstract question -- it's out of order for right now. [Scribe assist by Sandro Hawke]

Sandro Hawke: whoops, I was sorta out of order

Jeremy Carroll: review after publication, but yes, we're off order

Zakim: hendler, you wanted to comment re abstract and status

James Hendler: I withdraw on abstract, but I have qualms about status.

Alan Ruttenberg: status of this document is perogative of w3c team liason
Jeremy-to-jim: the status belongs to W3C staff contact not the WG [Scribe assist by Jeremy Carroll]

Ian Horrocks: Status is not done.

Zakim: alanr, you wanted to address status of this document

James Hendler: We've approved a document without knowing what it is? Don't we need to review that text?

Ian Horrocks: No..as jeremey pointed out, status is a team contact thing not a wg thing

Alan Ruttenberg: though feedback is welcome

ACTION-56 continued until next week

ACTION-55 is closed

Proposals to resolve issues

PROPOSED: close (as REJECTED) Issue 20 and absorb it into Issue 16

Alan Ruttenberg: Already resolved: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-wg/2007Dec/0181.html
Alan Ruttenberg: officially

PROPOSED: close (as REJECTED) Issue 20 and absorb it into Issue 16

Sandro Hawke: +0
Peter Patel-Schneider: +1 to reject
Boris Motik: +1
Rinke Hoekstra: +1
Ian Horrocks: objectons?
Alan Ruttenberg: Re: Issue 55, +1 to close, but resolution would not be Peter's email, rather further action as voted up during f2f. Method of accomplishing is yet to be determined.

RESOLVED: close (as REJECTED) Issue 20 and absorb it into Issue 16

PROPOSED: close (as RESOLVED) Issue 43 as per email http://www.w3.org/mid/BDC59251-1FB7-4F70-8900-E7E38FC86BA4%2540comlab.ox.ac.uk

Sandro Hawke: +0
Peter Patel-Schneider: +1 to resolve
Boris Motik: +1 to resolve as proposed
Alan Ruttenberg: +1 (agree with stronger statement)

RESOLVED: close (as RESOLVED) Issue 43 as per email http://www.w3.org/mid/BDC59251-1FB7-4F70-8900-E7E38FC86BA4%2540comlab.ox.ac.uk issue is already addressed by OWL 1.1

Michael Smith: +1 to close as resolved
Alan Ruttenberg: +1
James Hendler: +1

PROPOSED: close (as REJECTED) Issue 55 as per email http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-wg/2007Dec/0188.html

Alan Ruttenberg: Reiterating what I posted in IRC. We agreed that some sort of effort by the working group to allow more RDF into OWL is a good idea, but I don't want the specific solution of Peter to be part of the resolution since this is an ongoing thing.

James Hendler: RPI will official object to rejecting but will abstain to postponed.

Zakim: hendler, you wanted to discuss Issue 55
Alan Ruttenberg: I don't mind postponing, personally

Ian Horrocks: I believe I saw that email but I wanted more detail.

Jeremy Carroll: +1 to jim

James Hendler: I don't want to say that this will never be fixed.

Alan Ruttenberg: +1, Ian. Let's table it, and not take the queue
Alan Ruttenberg: in the interest of time, request to not take up the issue

Ian Horrocks: pretty clear that we won't resolve this as it is proposed to be resolved, so we should put it back to the email

Alan Ruttenberg: and will go to issue discussion for next week

PROPOSED: close (as RESOLVED) Issue 83 as per email http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-wg/2007Dec/0028.html

Ian Horrocks: Postponed to next week. Depends on an open action
Boris Motik: Regarding Issue 55: At the F2F we said that we might produce a document with typical repairs that might allow for more RDF into OWL. IMHO, the distinction between owl:Class and rdfs:Class should be handled there.

Amended item: Short name issue

Sandro Hawke: [reluctantly] There is a uri for each document with a date embedded, but there is also a "short name" or "latest uri". Problem: does the owl (1.1) semantics override the old one? Where will people want to end up 5 years from now

Ian Horrocks: That's clear, but it would be strange if people wanted to go to the older semantics.

Alan Ruttenberg: but isn't this exactly why we went for the owl11 short name? So that we wouldn't shadow?

Ian Horrocks: How irrevocable is the current decision wrt recommendation?

Michael Smith: at the f2f it was pointed out the working draft shouldn't shadow the 1.0 docs, and we had to avoid that
Jeremy Carroll: +1 to Ian

Sandro Hawke: [still reluctantly] The current drafts will contain a latest draft url and we need to do right by that. But it's still flexible.

Ian Horrocks: well, we can't shadow recs with our current *drafts*

Alan Ruttenberg: IIRC we *can* change short name later, but it is a pain.

James Hendler: There are different documents. Syntax and semantics seem intended to shadow S&AS, but other documents may be additive.

Peter Patel-Schneider: the syntax doc is not a replacement for S&AS as it has neither the RDF mapping nor any formal semantics
Alan Ruttenberg: My guess is that pain is preferable to resolution now

Ian Horrocks: We can weasal like minks and avoid committing now.

Sandro Hawke: It's not clear that we can. Whatever draft we publish will have urls that change overtime but we need to make sure we manage that change sensibly

Sandro Hawke: "owl11-semantics" or "owl-semantics-latest-draft" or "owl1-semantics" e.g., syntax and semantics documents point to each other...but I think maybe it's ok.

Alan Ruttenberg: isn't this what we resolved in the f2f

Boris Motik: +1 to owl11-semantics
Sandro Hawke: "owl-semantics"
Michael Smith: can we get around this like html? e.g. there is latest version of html and latest version of html4. xhtml 1.0 shadows html, but not html4

Sandro Hawke: But there's new information. We can't use owl-semantics since that would make our drafts shadow recs (BAD WEASAL). "owl-semantics-latest-draft" is very future proof and handy

Michael Smith: +1 for sandro and alanr to settle this
Peter Patel-Schneider: just get it done something this millenium :-)
Alan Ruttenberg: Alan says team-owl-chairs will resolve
Bijan Parsia: +1 to sandro and alanr handling

Ian Horrocks: Yet another chair complaining about IRC comments with preference for people going to speaker queue

Zakim: jjc, you wanted to suggest e-mail 24 hr review
James Hendler: +1 to jjc

Jeremy Carroll: Once sandro has the solution can he give us 24 hours review?

Sandro Hawke: 24 hours == 1 business day
Alan Ruttenberg: 24 hours review if not owl11

Alan Ruttenberg: can we make it only if short name owl11

Jeremy Carroll: yes

Raised Issues

Issue 90 class and property deprecation

Rinke Hoekstra: These are in OWL 1.0 but not in OWL 1.1 docs, so we should deal with it.

Zakim: alanr, you wanted to ask whether anyone ever found this useful?
Alan Ruttenberg: +1 to open

Ian Horrocks: we'll open Issue 90

Alan Ruttenberg: +1 to open

Issue 91 ontology properties

Alan Ruttenberg: there is another issue re: meaning

Rinke Hoekstra: Boris and I talked about this and some properties are now annotation properties but what do they mean?

Boris Motik: What do you mean by meaning? In the old spec they didn't have meaning either.

Alan Ruttenberg: question before us is whether to open
Alan Ruttenberg: Discussion indicates we should open

Rinke Hoekstra: I'm ok with that but the documentation says something informal about it. We should proprogate (or at least discuss) these issues

Alan Ruttenberg: don't need and don't want

Ian Horrocks: Seems like there is some issue to discuss

Jeremy Carroll: boring

Ian Horrocks: so we should take it up. Issue 91 is open

Boris Motik: Rinke, could you perhaps additionally point to what kind of "meaning" has been lost in OWL 1.1?
Rinke Hoekstra: Boris, about your Issue 91 question: I'll put it in an email, ok?

Resolved Editorial Issues

Alan Ruttenberg: -1 to resolve as there is no pointer to diff

Boris Motik: the change was in the diagrams. How do I diff diagrams? Ian Horrocks: Peter do you object to *this* diff requriment or any requirement for diffs


Bijan Parsia: some chatter between alanr and pfps
Zakim: jjc, you wanted to support boris

Jeremy Carroll: I support Peter. The key audit point is publication, not editors draft. So there is no need for this extra fine grained diff requirements.

Alan Ruttenberg: I would agree to 1/2 hour being burden. Let's pass on this one and discuss for future.
Sandro Hawke: ??? But the wiki is HTML
Alan Ruttenberg: I don't believe this is burden, but we don't have to resolve now. I'm hearing what is said.
Alan Ruttenberg: But misinformation re difficulty is not reasonable to me.

Alan Ruttenberg: I'd like to resolve this issue but not to accept rejection of the procedure. I think it's not hard (in principle) but needs to be better documented

ACTION: Alan to document how to diff images.

Peter Patel-Schneider: I'm not convinced that alan is the person should be made happy. The WG needs to be made happy.

Jeremy Carroll: q+ to mention history mechanism http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/index.php?title=Syntax&diff=2108&oldid=2052

Sandro Hawke: Is anyone else supportive of alanr technique?

Alan Ruttenberg: We already agreed to text diffs

James Hendler: yes, probably will be helpful later

Peter Patel-Schneider: text diffs - when


Alan Ruttenberg: Agree to easy. What is considered easy?
Boris Motik: +1 to jjc

Jeremy Carroll: sometimes it is easy to provide a diff. Boris's point was that it was hard in this case. When it is easy, we should encourage (not require) them to do it.

Bijan Parsia: Are we providing change logs?

Ian Horrocks: we don't need them now, right? First draft?

Sandro Hawke: We probably should have provided a change-log from the Submission.... [Scribe assist by Sandro Hawke]

Sandro Hawke: might be nice to have one from the submission

Sandro Hawke: (I could produce an HTML diff from the submission...... that would be interesting to see.)

Alan Ruttenberg: I think that the change log could be most easily generated from issues whose resolution has a diff pointer


Alan Ruttenberg: This is a chairs issue not a wg issue

PROPOSED: close issue 49

Peter Patel-Schneider: +1 let's nuke this baby
James Hendler: +1
Boris Motik: +1
Rinke Hoekstra: +1 to close
Rinke Hoekstra: +1 for the love of god
Elisa Kendall: +1

RESOLVED: close issue 49

Zhe Wu: +1
Michael Smith: +1
