15:24:06 [Harold]
Leora: Issue of more user friendly PS.
15:24:33 [Harold]
... Adrian has proposed improvements.
15:24:47 [Harold]
... We want to bring up this issue.
15:25:06 [Harold]
Chris: Current PS makes it difficult to talk about RIF.
15:25:17 [csma]
Hear, hear!
15:25:25 [Harold]
Leora: It's plain hard. Extra burdon on users.
15:25:41 [Harold]
... Would be good to have other syntax.
15:25:53 [ChrisW]
http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wiki/UCR#Use_Cases
15:25:55 [Harold]
... Maybe with preprocessor to map to current PS.

Zakim, unmute me
15:26:00 [Zakim]
AdrianP should no longer be muted
15:26:35 [Harold]
Chris: What us use is a bunch of shortcuts with if...do.. production rules.
15:26:37 [AxelPolleres]
I had some comments on the shortcuts suggested for arithmetics and comparison... http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2008Aug/0124.html not sure whether the mail was clear, but I can explain it.
15:26:41 [AxelPolleres]
q+
15:27:07 [Harold]
Adrian: Currently Prolog symbol for "is implied by".
15:27:17 [AxelPolleres]
What about triple syntax a la N3?
15:27:30 [Harold]
Chris: Also "->" is not a good symbol for slots.
15:28:04 [Harold]
Axel: Some examples use arithm shortcuts.
15:28:18 [GaryHallmark]
what about colon instead of ->, e.g. ?o[k1:v1 k2:v2]
15:28:26 [AdrianP]
you mean, e.g. ">" "<" "!=" "=" "<=" ">=" as in programming languages
15:28:36 [AdrianP]
instead of e.g. External(pred:numeric-less-than(1 2))
15:29:31 [Harold]
zakim, who is on the phone?
15:29:31 [Zakim]
On the phone I see ChrisW, Mike_Dean, Sandro, DaveReynolds, LeoraMorgenstern, StellaMitchell, AxelPolleres, yuting (muted), csma (muted), Harold, AdrianP, JeffP, GaryHallmark
15:29:34 [Zakim]
yuting has yuting, StuartTaylor
15:29:46 [csma]
Why not =, since we currently have only an equality accessor (for slots)?
15:30:01 [csma]
as in object[property=value]?
15:30:11 [ChrisW]
q?
15:30:14 [ChrisW]
ack ax
15:30:58 [Harold]
Adrian: Parser can figure out distinctions via arg types (e.g. two numbers).
15:31:08 [Harold]
Axel: Makes sense.
15:31:44 [Zakim]
-Mike_Dean
15:31:44 [Harold]
Sandro: I'm highly dubious.
15:31:52 [csma]
q+
15:31:58 [Harold]
... It would be a half-way rule language.
15:32:04 [LeoraMorgenstern]
q+
15:32:07 [Harold]
... Either XML or real rule language.
15:32:26 [Harold]
... Run UC: Only XML
15:32:27 [AdrianP]
the main intention of the abridged syntax is to make it easy to write down and read rules
15:32:36 [AxelPolleres]
in xpath, etc you have '+','-', but type-checking of the operators is supposed to take place before it is chosen which add or subtract function is actually meant.
15:32:50 [Harold]
... Read UC: Use your own favorite syntax
15:33:04 [Harold]
Chris: Requires a tool.
15:33:24 [Harold]
Sandro: Yes. Need bootstrapping.
15:33:26 [csma]
ack csma
15:33:29 [LeoraMorgenstern]
q-
15:33:29 [ChrisW]
ack c
15:33:37 [Harold]
Christian: Two questions.
15:34:04 [AxelPolleres]
... same for comparisons, i.e., any xpath processor should be able to deal with +,-, >, <, etc. for various datatypes.
15:34:14 [Harold]
... 1) What's purpose of non-abridged syntax if we have an abridged one.
15:34:15 [StellaMitchell]
PS is normative, I think
15:34:25 [LeoraMorgenstern]
Christian, the semantics have been defined in terms of the presentation syntax, no?
15:34:37 [LeoraMorgenstern]
So it makes sense to keep that.
15:34:51 [LeoraMorgenstern]
But you still want something that's easier to read and write.
15:35:22 [Harold]
... 2) There is a case where you need to translate/produce RIF doc with a specific rule that is not in XML
15:35:36 [AdrianP]
Zakim, mute me
15:35:36 [Zakim]
AdrianP should now be muted
15:35:45 [Harold]
... When you need to produce a rule set.
15:35:53 [DaveReynolds]
Stella - the "mathematical english" is normative, the presentation syntax and it's EBNF is non-normative, the semantics actually refers to the mathematical English - at least that's how I understand it.
15:36:17 [Harold]
Chris: Not transl. test cases now. But entailment test cases.
15:36:35 [Harold]
... Otherwise we would need whole suites of cases for each language.
15:36:41 [csma]
zakim, mute me
15:36:41 [Zakim]
csma should now be muted
15:37:25 [Harold]
Axel: Uneasy with +, -, *, / etc. only for numbers.
15:37:43 [Harold]
... Other languages have such symbols also for other datatypes.
15:37:45 [StellaMitchell]
dave, the spec just says "the presenation syntax is normative" (but not the ebnf)
15:37:57 [AdrianP]
such abriviations are quite common in nearly all programming languages
15:37:59 [Harold]
Chris: Issue is if it's better than current PS.
15:38:25 [Harold]
Axel: Agree, but kind of half-way.
15:38:28 [DaveReynolds]
Stella - yes, sorry.
15:38:29 [JeffP]
still not clear why we need another syntax
15:38:48 [Harold]
Chris: Alternative would be to define a new syntax.
15:38:58 [LeoraMorgenstern]
JeffP, it's because the current PS is really hard to read and write.
15:39:17 [LeoraMorgenstern]
and we are afraid it will affect adoption of RIF.
15:39:37 [JeffP]
LeoraMorgenstern, thanks - is PS going to be replaced by the new one?
15:39:40 [Harold]
Axel: Should we use the Abridged Syntax but mark it as not covering more than numerics.
15:39:44 [DaveReynolds]
Leora - in that case it needs a formal definition, the current defn is ambiguous
15:39:51 [MichaelKifer]
MichaelKifer has joined #rif
15:39:54 [LeoraMorgenstern]
Dave, I agree.
15:40:02 [Harold]
Chris: Will need to make status of Abridged Syntax more explict.
15:40:08 [Harold]
Axel: yes.
15:41:00 [Harold]
Leora: Discussed various more cases.
15:41:11 [LeoraMorgenstern]
http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wiki/Category:Test_Case
15:41:12 [Harold]
... Quite comprehensive now.
15:41:32 [AxelPolleres]
We should mention explicit that our abbreviations for comparison operators and arithmetic operators *only* apply to numeric datatypes, *as opposed to* the more generic use of these abbreviations in languages such as XPATH
15:41:44 [AdrianP]
e.g. http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wiki/Chaining_strategy_numeric-add-1
15:41:44 [Harold]
... Chaining strategy UC brought in by Axel.
15:42:38 [Harold]
Axel: Dual versions, behaving different in (naive) forward and backward engines.
15:43:10 [Harold]
... Cannot just materialize.
15:43:46 [ChrisW]
q?
15:44:05 [Harold]
Leora: It would help if people make the "discussion" slot more explicit.
15:44:15 [Harold]
... Distinguish various cases.
15:44:23 [Harold]
... Overarching argument.
15:44:44 [Harold]
... Otherwise people can get lost.
15:44:54 [AdrianP]
I would propose to group test cases to test suites which have a context
15:45:05 [AdrianP]
Zakim, unmute me
15:45:05 [Zakim]
AdrianP should no longer be muted
15:45:07 [Harold]
Chris: E.g., what Axel just described on the phone should be in the document.
15:45:10 [Harold]
Axel: Fine.
15:45:22 [StellaMitchell]
and maybe we can use seeAlso field to reference related test cases from test cases
15:45:30 [Harold]
Sandro: Description vs. Discussion, with linking.
15:45:47 [Zakim]
+Mike_Dean
15:45:49 [Harold]
Adrian: Concept of test suite. Once can refer to the other.
15:46:21 [Harold]
Gary: Axel's are also legal PRD, which is good.
15:46:41 [Harold]
Leora: Stella and I translated a number of UCs.
15:46:42 [StellaMitchell]
gary: cases that apply to BLD and PRD could be of dialect CORE
15:46:57 [Harold]

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2008Aug/0074.html
15:48:21 [Harold]
Chris: Let's go over eds note list.
15:48:22 [AdrianP]
Other open issues of Test Cases are e.g. the set of properties which we have define or the translation from the WIKI version into a concrete XML syntax
15:49:29 [Harold]
Chris: All shortcuts should ultimately be in one place.
15:50:22 [Harold]
Axel: Section 2.2 should explain rdf:text shortcut.
15:50:50 [Harold]
... in abridged it would already be it.
15:51:12 [Harold]
Chris: Separate wiki page?
15:51:24 [csma]
+1 for having the shortcuts and abridged syntax all in one place, and that is not DTB
15:51:32 [Harold]
Axel: No problem, but then remove it from all other places.
15:51:48 [AdrianP]
yes, good idea
15:51:58 [AdrianP]
YES
15:52:00 [AdrianP]
yes
15:52:18 [ChrisW]
action: adrian to create page that documents abridged syntax
15:52:18 [trackbot]
Sorry, amibiguous username (more than one match) - adrian
15:52:18 [trackbot]
Try using a different identifier, such as family name or username (eg. agiurca, apaschke)
15:52:25 [AdrianP]
it will make it easier for programmers
15:52:30 [ChrisW]
action: apaschke to create page that documents abridged syntax
15:52:30 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-569 - Create page that documents abridged syntax [on Adrian Paschke - due 2008-09-02].
15:53:44 [DaveReynolds]
q+
15:53:50 [Harold]
Axel: Predicate that takes rdf:text and language tags, matching eg all "en" tags.
15:54:30 [Harold]
Dave: In SPARQL there is also a lang matcher.
15:54:44 [Harold]
s/ language tags/ language range/
15:55:11 [Harold]
Axel: A bit awkward.
15:55:18 [DaveReynolds]
q-
15:55:26 [Harold]
Chris: Can you extract lang. tag?
15:55:38 [Harold]
Axel: Yes, but not typical use case.
15:56:21 [MichaelKifer]
MichaelKifer has joined #rif
15:56:23 [Harold]
Dave: Fine. Alg the same, just args different.
15:57:02 [Harold]
... Can lang tag be empty xs:string?
15:57:17 [Harold]
Axel: We agreed this should not cause any harm.
15:57:35 [Harold]
Chris: Does this change anything in the def of matching lang tag?
15:57:53 [Harold]
Axel: We could define it for only non-empty lang tags.
15:59:15 [Harold]
Dave: Same for func:lang(...)?
15:59:23 [Harold]
Axel: Dont see a problem.
15:59:59 [Harold]
Dave: Normally no need for testing non-emptiness.
16:00:16 [Harold]
... How does this affact RDF Compatiblity?
16:00:27 [Harold]
Axel: We already have different treatment there.
16:01:11 [Harold]
... treat plain literals same as those type with xs:string.
16:01:27 [Harold]
... which is different from RDF.
16:02:20 [Harold]
Dave: According to D-entailment it is the same.
16:02:41 [Harold]
... But yours not.
16:03:21 [Harold]
Axel: Empty lang tags do not occur in RDF, so it doesnt matter.
16:03:30 [Harold]
Sandro: Syntax error in RDF.
16:03:59 [Harold]
Chris: OK. So in RDF?
16:04:08 [Harold]
Axel: Plain literals.
16:04:46 [Harold]
... So the rdf:text task force is looking into unifying them.
16:05:20 [Harold]
Sandro: No problem because rdf:text does not normally occur in RDF.
16:07:37 [Harold]
Dave/Sandro/Axel: More discussion about datatype system, performance issues, ...
16:07:56 [Harold]
Chris: Record as an issue and move on?
16:08:11 [Harold]
... Dave you are not sure?
16:08:52 [Harold]
Dave: No formal objection, need to think more about it. Feels awkward, perhaps raise an error instead.
16:09:44 [Harold]
Sandro: Regarding impacts: More on OWL than on Jena.

16:14:39 [DaveReynolds]
Re rif:text and RDF compatibility - there isn't a problem. In the RDF spec there is the statement "The xml:lang="" form indicates the absence of a language identifier" which is therefore compatible with the proposed approach. Sorry to have diverted the discussion.
