<Tom> Tom notes this is telecon #57 of Semantic Web Deployment

PROPOSED to accept minutes of the Jan 22 telecon:

http://www.w3.org/2008/01/22-swd-minutes.html

ACCEPTED

Guus: Tom and I discussed schedule
... officially charter ends April.
... WG should be done (with a majority of the work) by the summer
... RDFa and SKOS at least at Candidate Rec. Should have moved beyond Last Call
... Majority of work before the summer. It's fair to make that clear to WG participants
... Need to discuss schedule with intercoordination group.
... Review of SKOS issues on agenda.
... Discussing mainly RDFa and SKOS as these are Rec track.
... Also Recipes/Vocab Management. What are the realistic goals in the
... time span?

ACTION: Chairs to put schedule review on agenda. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/22-swd-minutes.html#action24] [CONTINUES]

SKOS

ACTION: Guus to schedule to discussion on the notation (syntax) used in SKOS examples in Reference and Primer in two weeks time, i.e. on 29 January [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/22-swd-minutes.html#action05] [CONTINUES]

ACTION: Ralph get SKOS WD published [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/22-swd-minutes.html#action03] [DONE]

See: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2008Jan/0177.html

Guus: Ian Jacobs called for exclusions. Usual process on publication of working draft.

ACTION: Alistair to solicit feedback via mailing lists on WD [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/22-swd-minutes.html#action22] [CONTINUES]

Alistair: Sent mail to the list. Comments welcome.

ACTION: Alistair to add editorial note linking ISSUE-44 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/22-swd-minutes.html#action01] [DROPPED]

Guus: SKOS Issues. 20 minutes reviewing issue list.

<Ralph> SKOS issues

Ralph: Quite a few raised issues that should maybe be opened.

Guus: Issue 26. Relationship between labels. Open.
... Bit worrying that we haven't been able to close this one.

Antoine: Proposal that was accepted (Label Relation by Alistair)
... but since have received mail commenting on it. Acceptable for the moment, but way to
... do this is to keep it open as late as possible.
... Can't really propose anything else. Should get new feedback on
... this soon.

Guus: Leave open and await comments.
... Issue 27. Annotation on Labels. Similar to 26?

Antoine: Could be, but there are no examples of simple annotation on labels. Similar
... pattern could be used.

Guus: Keep 26 & 27 linked.
... 31. Open. Alistair?

Alistair: All of the questions in this issue are answere in the
... current WD, with the notion of certain graphs being not consistent.
... so current WD answers this. What's the process?

Guus: Point to current WD as resolution (making specific reference to the document and version)

ACTION: Alistair to write a resolution for ISSUE 31 (citing current WD) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/29-swd-minutes.html#action06]

Guus: Issue 32 ConceptSchemeLabellingInteractions
... This has been raised. Should we open it?

ConceptSchemeLabellingInteractions [issue 32]

Alistair: This is about whether or not two concepts in a scheme can have the same

Alistair: preferred label in the same language. If you're using SKOS for Thesaurus, this is
... useful, but not necessarily generally applciable.
... Was discussed in previous WD.

Guus: Is this in the Use Cases?

Antoine: yes, if you consider that some Use Cases are thesaurus Use Cases.

Guus: Pragmatic based on use cases or postpone.

Ralph: Doesn't seem crucial for SKOS to restrict this.

Alistair: Can't generally restrict this as some concept schemes allow it.

Guus: Propose that Alistair considers Closing the issue by not making a commitment
... and addin a note.

Antoine: In the current primer. There is a note about this. [quotes document]

Guus: Suggest Antoine cut and paste text as resolution.

Issue 32 is opened with Antoine owner.

ACTION: Antoine to propose resolution to Issue 32 based on text from the primer [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/29-swd-minutes.html#action07]

Issue 35: Rules and Conformance

RulesAndConformance [issue 35]

Alistair: Current SKOS Reference doesn't state any rules explicitly, but
... does talk about things that can be entailed from others things.

Guus: This issue then isn't really relevant at the moment.

ACTION: Sean to propose postponing Issue 35. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/29-swd-minutes.html#action08]

Issue 37: SKOS Specialisation

SkosSpecialization [issue 37]

Alistair: Place holder in current SKOS Reference Appendix

Antoine: And something in the primer.

<ed> section 4.8 of the Primer also

Guus: Propose to delay this for now. Don't have to open yet.
... 38 Postponed, 39 Closed.
... 40 (Concept Co-ordination) a bit tricky.

ConceptCoordination [issue 40]

Guus: When do we need to open this? Is there a good time and who will be issue owner?

Antoine: Propose not to do it now.

Alistair: No time like the present to open it.

Alistair: Don't mind making a proposal.
... SKOS could go to rec without this feature.

ACTION: Alistair to make a proposal for Issue 40 (Concept Coordination) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/29-swd-minutes.html#action09]

Guus: Issue 41 Use lang tags in examples

Antoine: We can close this with the SKOS primer

Guus: This is not a technical issue. This is an action.
... Can we delete issues?

Ralph: Can close and say it's not a technical issue.

Guus: Need to be careful as we can only finish if all the issues were they're closed or postponed.

Alistair: yes originally and issue raised on old SKOS core guide. No longer applicable.

Guus: Any objections to closing this?

Ralph: Alistair should take an action to respond to original query.

ACTION: Alistair to respond to original query regarding Issue 41 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/01/29-swd-minutes.html#action10]

Ralph: Will mark as pending

Guus: 44 Closed
... Issue 45 NaryLinksBetweenDescriptorsAndNonDescriptors

Issue 45 NaryLinksBetweenDescriptorsAndNonDescriptors

Alistair: We could say this is out of scope. Or we could say that it can be done via extensions to SKOS
... or we could try and do it ourselves. Cheapest is to declare out of scope/postpone.

Ralph: I'm ok to postpone

Guus: But there are Use Cases that make use of this
... would not be willing to postpone at ths point in time.

Antoine: could be solvable once Issue 40 is done. Can postpone if we decide to do nothing for 40.

[move onto next action]

Guus: What was this action?

Alistiar: at F2F went with decision for n-ary relations. Guus was to consider whether we needed alternatics

Guus: Propose we drop it and return on ISSUE 26.

Alistair: Do we have an issue that we're trying to resolve here?

Guus: Related to issue resolutions w.r.t concept scheme containment that we had
... discussed. In particular whether you can consider an OWL ontology that only containts instnaces as an ontology.

Alistair: Issue 36 is closed, so do we still need to have a discussion and do we still need
... additional text?

Guus: yes, I think so.

Alistair: This action is now transforming.
... writing text for which document?

Antoine: influences both.

Ralph: If it's informative, put it in the primer.

Guus: Is this currently covered on the primer?

Antoine: Something, but it needs checked.
