Gray line between the language itself and its directives. 17:12:04 ... Illegal directives should be caught by schema checker. 17:12:34 Christian: Could be included as a piece of syntax rather than as a directive. 17:13:16 Christian: We could say we have no directives, so things get easier. 17:13:17 Sandro: I am comfortable with the idea that directives are style-decision -- you never need to use them, but maybe they will be the better style for some kinds of things. 17:13:38 Jos: Then it would be harder to make extensions. 17:14:02 Sandro: I don't think extending the syntax is hard. 17:14:54 Chris/Christian: Agree with Sandro. 17:15:09 Christian: Why changed presentation syntax? 17:15:27 Jos: If we want to specify anything, it must go there. 17:16:21 Christian: Maybe not call it 'Annotation' to avoid confusion with XML Schema Annotations. 17:16:39 Jos: More worried with OWL Annotations. 17:17:00 Sandro: In XML Schema all Annotations are optional. 17:17:15 ... so confusion possible here. 17:17:40 Jos: OK when better name can be found, but first decide about 'Directives' 17:18:00 Christian: Strawpoll. 17:18:09 Favor Two kinds? 17:18:15 +1 17:18:21 0 17:18:21 0 17:18:22 +1 17:18:22 +1 metadata+directives 17:18:22 +1 17:18:25 +0 17:18:26 -0.5 17:18:26 why not just define the specific directives you want. the only examples I've heard are import/include 17:19:10 Christian: Yes, Gary, it may be in the syntax of the language itself. 17:19:27 Favor one kind of metadata 17:19:32 +1 17:19:34 +1 17:19:35 0 17:19:36 0 17:19:36 -0 17:19:37 0 17:19:39 0 17:19:42 0 17:19:42 -0 17:20:12 I need to be convinced of the need 17:20:20 Sandro: Want to do it on a case by case basis. 17:20:38 ...

Schema validation can help. 17:21:50 are there any directives other than import? 17:21:54 Harold: Schematron can always be used for finer-grained validation. 17:22:17 Suggested directives for BLD: rif:imports, rif:requiresDataSet, rif:dataModel 17:22:23 Sandro: I'm not opposed to directives in principle, it just seems unnecessary for the examples I'm seeing here. 17:22:43 jos, what do the last 2 do? 17:22:44 Christian: Next step would be to list all RIF directives of interest. 17:23:11 Sandro: Having directives does change model theory. 17:23:22 why not? imports are theories... 17:23:39 Harold: Model theory kicks in only after import. 17:23:55 ref to dataset and data model is data model of the rules 17:24:05 see http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Arch/Data_Sets 17:24:36 Christian/Jos: If we had modules, things would be different. 17:25:19 Jos: Then would not use directives to refer to modules, but use syntax in the language. 17:25:25 Chris: and semantics. 17:25:48 Christian: Was referring to datasets, not modules. 17:26:52 Chris: Wrt model theory, you treat them (datasets?) as if they were part of the symbol space. 17:27:34 Christian: If you want to cross-ref between datasets, how do you do that? 17:28:10 ... If this dosent change the model theory, you cannot see it as preprocessing. 17:28:26 Chris: Lost me here. 17:28:37 Christian: Will make up an example. 17:28:58 +1 17:29:01 +1 17:29:06 +1 17:29:07 +1 17:29:10 -1 don't know enough yet 17:29:13 0 17:29:14 0 17:29:20 +1 17:30:02 previous poll about prefering Jos' metadata proposal 17:30:07 -0.5 17:30:27 +1 on adjourning 17:30:34 for interop, it would be better to import a rif document containing ground facts than to use rif:requiresDataSet 17:30:37 +1, bye 17:30:40 -IgorMozetic 17:30:46 -Hassan 17:30:52 action: Christian to write up an example of what he means regarding the metadata proposal 17:30:52 Created ACTION-413 - Write up an example of what he means regarding the metadata proposal [on Christian de Sainte Marie - due 2008-02-12]. 17:30:56 actions to igor and myself to check back f2f10 options... 17:31:00 -MichaelKifer 17:31:04 -josb.aa 17:31:08 -StellaMitchell 17:31:10 bye 17:31:14 zakim, list attendees 17:31:14 As of this point the attendees have been csma, Sandro, ChrisW, hassan, Harold, AxelPolleres, StellaMitchell, IgorMozetic, +1.631.833.aaaa, MichaelKifer, Gary_Hallmark 17:31:20 -AxelPolleres 17:31:20 rrsagent, make minutes 17:31:20 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2008/02/05-rif-minutes.html ChrisW 17:31:29 -Gary_Hallmark 17:31:46 -Harold 17:32:34 -Sandro 17:32:35 -ChrisW 17:32:36 -csma 17:32:37 SW_RIF()11:00AM has ended 17:32:38 Attendees were csma, Sandro, ChrisW, hassan, Harold, AxelPolleres, StellaMitchell, IgorMozetic, +1.631.833.aaaa, MichaelKifer, Gary_Hallmark 19:00:58 csma has left #rif 19:57:40 Zakim has left #rif
