[17:05] <Carsten> jeremy: any way to improve the sound quality of your phone? Very hard to understand!

[17:08] [Jeremy] jjc: meetign next week may be useful, let's have one unless we choose not to
[17:09]  * hendler sent some mail on audiences to WG - was not in a form I felt comfortable wiki-ing, just went out today...
[17:10] <alanr> http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/Who_Reads_Our_Documents
[17:10] <alanr> better to have ugly wiki, than ephemeral email
[17:10] <hendler> q+ to answer JEremy's question
[17:10]  * Zakim sees hendler on the speaker queue
[17:11]  * bijan wonders if jeremy is ok in splitting RDF and XML hackers since I think they are very different
[17:11] <bijan> Email: http://www.w3.org/mid/A80EEDE0-78C6-4B64-AE53-C5FECF636142@cs.rpi.edu
[17:11] [Jeremy] jeremy: martin is not here, anyone want to take seat
[17:11] <bijan> Where is this evidence?
[17:11] [Jeremy] jim: we have good evidence that previous docs were used
[17:11] [Jeremy] so we should be maintaining that
[17:11] [Jeremy] deborah: +1 to jim
[17:12] <alanr> current documents are the only ones that are there. So of course they are used. Can we do better? Probably yes.
[17:12] *** IanH (horrocks@163.1.124.169) has quit IRC [Quit: IanH]
[17:12] [Jeremy] vipul: we should be reasching agreemtn on users
[17:12] <ewallace> It's helpful to understand what the audience is for those docs.
[17:12] [Jeremy] jim: we've already done that
[17:12] [Jeremy] (for OWL 1.0)
[17:12] [Jeremy] jim: why does knowing more about the reader help
[17:12] [Jeremy] vipul: different readers need different answers
[17:13] [Jeremy] vipul: let's go to xquery web page
[17:13] <alanr> Jim, knowing something about the reader is important, at least for those who weren't there the first time
[17:13] [Jeremy] vipul: they have identified four readers
[17:13] [Jeremy] (copied into "Who reads our documents")
[17:13] [Jeremy] vipul: I see clearly different concern for different users
[17:14] [Jeremy] vipul: gives examples from XQuery
[17:15] <alanr> As a benchmark, I estimate it was a year before I understood OWL to my satisfaction.
[17:15] <alanr> That's too long.
[17:15] <alanr> http://www.w3.org/XML/Query/
[17:16] *** IanH (horrocks@163.1.124.169) has joined #owl
[17:16] <bijan> Vipul doesn't speak for me on the successfulness evaluation
[17:16] <Vipul> http://www.w3.org/XML/Query/
[17:16] [Jeremy] jim: I hear vipul arguing for one more document
[17:16] <dlm> +queue
[17:16]  * Zakim sees hendler, dlm on the speaker queue
[17:17] <hendler> q-
[17:17] [Jeremy] alan: I think we need to think more clearly
[17:17]  * Zakim sees dlm on the speaker queue
[17:17] [Jeremy] alan: several documents, some confusion about which one to read
[17:17] <bijan> q+
[17:17]  * Zakim sees dlm, bijan on the speaker queue
[17:18] [Jeremy] alan: many people have tried to read the docs, and they don't get it - e,g, open world assumpltion lack of unique name assumption
[17:18] [Jeremy] alan: typical usecases e.g. RDMS to OWL that document doesn't give you toehold
[17:18] [Jeremy] alan: too little on inferrences
[17:18] [Jeremy] alan: people say you should write a cook book
[17:19] [Jeremy] (jim: Dean and I have been writing one)
[17:19] [Jeremy] alan: documentation was good for purpose, but not end of story
[17:19] [Jeremy] q+ vipul
[17:19]  * Zakim sees dlm, bijan, vipul on the speaker queue
[17:20]  * hendler wants to be clear - I was not arging against other new things, but suggesting maintenance of the existing documents
[17:20] [Jeremy] dlm: I want some level of maintenance of docs that are alreasdy used
[17:20] [Jeremy] hendler agreed
[17:20] [Jeremy] dlm:  e.g. overview briefness on each constructor was good and should be maintenance
[17:21] <bijan> zakim, unmute me
[17:21] <Zakim> bijan should no longer be muted
[17:21] [Jeremy] alan: I think the good points should be maintained, not clear whether that means the current docs are the right form
[17:21] [Jeremy] bijan: I am not so sure that these docs are not heavily used, my experience appears to be different from deb and jim
[17:22] [Jeremy] bijan: some things seem to be misleading because of simplifications in OWL Reference
[17:22]  * hendler Google rank for overview, reference, guide = 8; SAS and use cases = 7 -- all pretty good
[17:22] [Jeremy] bijan: everything we produce needs to bear in mind the difficulties of incorrect doc
[17:23] [Jeremy] bijan: we have lots of things like Wikipedia, Web etc. I put emphasis on non-W3C docs
[17:23] <bijan> zakim, mute me
[17:23] <Zakim> bijan should now be muted
[17:23] [Jeremy] vipul: we shouldn't worry about W3C doc or not for now
[17:23] <Zakim> -alanr
[17:24] <bijan> Uhm...we're a w3c working group! Isn't that what we're supposed to be focusing on?
[17:24]  * hendler agrees w/Bijan that implementor docs need to be clear, but I didn't think that was the OWL 1.1 issue - seems we have implementors (and maybe only implementors) covered
[17:24] <Zakim> +[MIT-G346]
[17:24] <alanr> zakim, [MIT-G346] is me
[17:24] <Zakim> +alanr; got it
[17:24] [Jeremy] scribe missed vipul's points
[17:24] <bijan> Jim, it's not jsut for implementers...its' when a user comes to me and says "pellet is wrong...look at the reference"
[17:24] [Jeremy] domain issues - we need to provide specific domains for different people
[17:24] <hendler> so I agree the documents need to be as correct as we can make them.  That doesn't argue to me to get rid of the reference
[17:25] <hendler> see my point re "irreflexive"
[17:25] <bijan> I'm just saying there is a cost
[17:25] [Jeremy] comment from vipul
[17:25] <bijan> So I prefer streamlined to lots of document
[17:25] <Zakim> -carsten
[17:25] <hendler> agree there is a cost, I think losing the documents has higher cost
[17:25] <bijan> I.e., guide and reference overlap substantially
[17:26] [Jeremy] jim: I think there are several different users, but current docs are already useful; let's do clarificarion clean-up etc and update for OWL 1.1 seems good
[17:27] <bijan> Jim, do they have to be rec track for you?>
[17:27] [Jeremy] jim: but writing new docs is more work 
[17:27] <bijan> Or could they be submissions?
[17:27] [Jeremy] jjc: end of item for now - more at f2f

[17:29] [Jeremy] http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/Who_Reads_Our_Documents
[17:30] <alanr> Descriptions of examples of readers who would be reading our user facing documents.
[17:31]  * bijan notes that he's been working on a UFD: http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/OWL_Numerics
[17:31]  * hendler notes -1 on "this theory"
[17:32]  * alanr surprised that "this theory" would be controversial...
[17:32] <pfps> bijan's document seems to me to be much better "reference" material than the current reference
[17:32]  * alanr isn't it first: requiremens, second:design?
[17:33]  * bijan surprised that alanr would find that *anything* being controversial is surprising :)
[17:33] [Jeremy] A brief discussion of "this theory" being that we start with descriptions of readers, and write docs for them to read.
[17:33] <alanr> s/requiremens/requirements/
[17:33] <pfps> ... although not suitable to me as part of an overview
[17:33] [Jeremy] There is dispute as to whether that is the right way to go.
[17:33]  * alanr )
[17:34] [Jeremy] Bijan's doc was  he's been working on a UFD: http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/OWL_Numerics
[17:34] <Vipul> Can we state the dispute explicitly?
[17:34]  * bijan says something vitally important that reconciles everyone on
[17:34]  * bijan everything
[17:34]  * bijan notes the crowd goes WILD
[17:35]  * hendler disagrees with Bijan
[17:35]  * pfps bijan is not keeping up with his usual level of utility
[17:35] [Jeremy] jim: I do a lot of writing,
[17:35]  * bijan that "Bijan" is different than "bijan" :)
[17:35] [Jeremy] jim: WG docs have huge audience, spending too much time to profile the reader is not very profitable
[17:36] <bijan> Jim's point seems to be an argument for minimality
[17:36] [Jeremy] jjc paraphrases: any particular profile will be to specific and miss majpoirty of our audience
[17:36] <ewallace> agree that we shouldn't spend too much time on IDing user types
[17:36] <hendler> no bijan, it's a argument to try to find some general levels of knowledge and write to those
[17:37] [Jeremy] jjc: two very specific profiles 
[17:37] [Jeremy] we could have OWL for X where X varies

[17:38] [Jeremy] alan: I write specifics because stuff that is too general is scary

[17:39]  * Zakim sees alanr, dlm on the speaker queue
[17:39] [Jeremy] alan: we need to be able to evaluate how well we are doing
[17:40] [Jeremy] alan: let's get new blood on, which means the old people need to share better the valeus of the docs
[17:40] <bijan> I'd love a justification of having the reference *and* the guide, for example.

[17:55] [Jeremy] particulary fi we have large quotes

[17:56] <bijan> There are an aribtrary number of people who *could* usefully contribute

[17:57] [Jeremy] Micahel is likely to be at OWLED, and so could be invited to present to F2F2
[17:57] [Jeremy] or we could discuss stuff with him
[17:58] <bijan> That confusion has continued
[17:58] <bijan> I've had to correct several people
[17:58] [Jeremy] jim: some people felt that OWLED had privileged position, and this is inappropriate
[17:59] <bijan> Shouldn't those go to SWEO?
[17:59] <bijan> SWEO already has some OWL use cases
