RESOLUTION: to accept minutes http://www.w3.org/2008/08/19-swd-minutes.html

SKOS

TomB: we have to reviews of the SKOS Reference

<seanb> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/reference/20080820/

TomB:Margherita is not here to give her reaction to the response

TomB: we have two issues: skos labeling properties, and the aspects of owl2 annotations

<Ralph> SKOS Labelling Properties [Sean 2008-08-22]

seanb: wrt labeling properties, in the reference it doesn't explicitly state that the labeling properties are subproperties of rdfs:label
... alistair and i discussed this, i felt that they should be subproperties of rdfs:label, alistair was ambivalent, guus was in support

TomB: are we ready to take a decision on Last Call, my only concern is Margherita isn't here

Guus: do we have a proposal from the editors?

seanb: can we make it now?

Ralph: the revised reference is published or not published?

Guus: send an email to the list quickly, and propose it as a LC working draft

Ralph: i think the group has been following along and understands that the aug 22 document would be coming up today
... don't feel a strong reason to delay

<scribe> ACTION: Sean and Alistair to propose a revised SKOS Reference for the last call by Fri 22/08/08 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/08/19-swd-minutes.html#action01] [DONE]

seanb: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2008Aug/0082.html

Ralph: lets resolve to publish, but wait till weds to see if Margherita responds

PROPOSED: That the draft http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/reference/20080820/
... That the draft http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/reference/20080820/ be published as a last call working draft with 24 hr delay to see if Margherita responds
... PROPOSED: That the draft http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/reference/20080820/ be published as a last call working draft unless Margherita objects by Aug 27th 16:00 UTC

RESOLUTION: That the draft http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/reference/20080820/ be published as a last call working draft unless Margherita objects by Aug 27th 16:00 UTC

TomB: congrats to editors

<scribe> ACTION: Ralph and Guus to review the Primer Editor's Draft [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/08/19-swd-minutes.html#action06]

Ralph: we're currently inconsistent between the primer and reference about the URI for the SKOS namespace

TomB: has it been corrected?

Antoine: still incorrect

Ralph: reference uses 2008, primer uses 2004

<scribe> ACTION: Ralph and Guus to review the Primer Editor's Draft [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/08/19-swd-minutes.html#action06] [DROPPED]

Antoine: it's corrected right now ...

<Antoine> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/wiki/SKOS/DraftPrimer?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=SKOSPrimer-080826.html

PROPOSED: that the draft http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/wiki/SKOS/DraftPrimer?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=SKOSPrimer-080826.html be published as an updated working draft

RESOLUTION: that the draft http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/wiki/SKOS/DraftPrimer?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=SKOSPrimer-080826.html be published as an updated working draft

Guus: we have to have actions to draft the request, and fix the last call period

<scribe> ACTION: Chairs to request Last Call for SKOS Reference [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/08/26-swd-minutes.html#action04]

GuusS: we have to think about the dependencies we have on other groups, who we should ask explicitly for a review, and decide on period

TomB: should we discuss now?

Ralph: we could brainstorm on groups
... the OWL group is an obvious one

GuusS: I think 5 week period would be fine, publish on Friday, which would bring us to 3 Oct

Ralph: seems fine

GuusS: need to LC training for editors

PROPOSED: 5 week LC period for SKOS Reference, lasting until 3 Oct

Ralph: i will be unavailable sep 9-18

TomB: I second

<Ralph> +1

RESOLUTION: 5 week LC period for SKOS Reference, lasting until 3 Oct

Ralph: we're supposed to notify chairs, and get them to agree on the date we've proposed

GuusS: which groups do we need to inform?

Ralph: perhaps we could check charter :)

<Ralph> SWD charter

Ralph: Rules Working Group probably doesn't care about SKOS, SWEO doesn't exist anymore

GuusS: I don't think we have any formal dependencies

Ralph: I think we should request comments from OWL

GuusS: perhaps the coordination group

Ralph: perhaps you could send mail to the OWL Chairs and the CG, with the last call period
... LC is a statement to the world that technically we think we're done, other than things we documented as 'at risk'
... we expect only editorial changes, we are required to respond to all email messages, accepting or modifying each editorial suggestion, hopefully any technical questions can be resolved based on our previous discussions, it's important we respond on a timely basis to all email messages after we publish LC

GuusS: when we get comments, be extremely polite, delay responding if you don't know how, it's custom to quote the document, don't come up w/ a new argument that's not in the document
... also use the magic phrase "can you live with these changes" to get consensus, and try to get the response "yes"
... we typically use the issue list, like you saw RDFa doing

<Ralph> use the phrase "Last Call Comment:" in the title of an issue

GuusS: if it's a small editorial thing might not be necessary, anything other than that raise the LC issue pointing to the message

Ralph: even for small edits, so we have a list when we go to the Director
... if you include "last call comment:" ben has a handy script for compiling these

<Ralph> for example, -> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues/112

benadida: i should write up short guide, you effectively enter a little bit of structured data to the issue text

<scribe> ACTION: Ben to write a short message to the list about how to enter in Issues so that they can be tracked [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/08/26-swd-minutes.html#action05]

GuusS: aliman, seanb you comfortable w/ this?

aliman, seanb: yup

GuusS: good to propose response to the list first

<scribe> ACTION: Guus to confirm w/ OWL Chairs and Coordination Group that the LC period is OK [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/08/26-swd-minutes.html#action06]

RDFa

TomB: RDFa Syntax, the XHTML WG has accepted
... Diego and Ed reviewed

benadida: happy with both ed's comments

TomB: can we take a decision without having the edited version?

<Ralph> Ed's comments

benadida: i think so

Ralph: I agree
... are we likely to get a reply from Allan?

benadida: he said he would look at it
... don't think he will object

Ralph: not having acknowledgment doesn't need to block us

<scribe> ACTION: Ed and Diego to review the latest RDFa Syntax Editor's Draft [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/08/19-swd-minutes.html#action07] [DONE]

Ralph: we received a lengthy set of comments from Allan that we decided were editorial, and have not received a response, but we can proceed in the absence of those comments, but we would prefer not to have to
... ben is in close contact

benadida: he'll get back to the group, i'm not worried

PROPOSED: Semantic Web Deployment WG agrees transition RDFa from CR to PR

RESOLUTION: Semantic Web Deployment WG agrees transition RDFa from CR to PR

TomB: thanks to the editors!

Ralph: and the reviewers

SKOS Issues

<Ralph> Sean on annotations

seanb: what kind of requirements do we have for annotation properties, within the owl wg they felt they might provide annotation properties with open ended semantics
... not sure how much discussion we can have without seeing detailed proposal
... just wanted to make the WG aware, seems like it would take additional vocabulary
... which would allow you to make assertions about annotation properties

Ralph: do you think properties like this are something that owl2 would eventually do?

seanb: from what i understood form talking to people, yes it could be ... some vocab would be defined without pinning down the semantics
... they would be opaque to the owl reasoners

<aliman> sean means things like "owl2:subAnnotationProperty" in addition to rdfs:subPropertyOf ... ?

seanb: i think it needs more detail for us to discuss, but thought it was worth raising for awareness

Ralph: if this is something that owl2 might have, then it might be premature to consider in the context of skos right now

seanb: i don't think it should impact what we are doing, but that it might be useful for a skos vocabulary, still speculative

<Zakim> aliman, you wanted to ask, who drafts the announcement emails? and to support the requirement, without any comment on the solution

seanb: wasn't proposing a change to the reference or skos schema

aliman: i don't know that we can make any comment without more detail

TomB: not clear to me if we need to take an action that we need to track

seanb: i can track down some details, and discuss on the list

TomB: welcome Margherita

Margherita: why do you leave the SKOS elements open, that's my general question

TomB: having trouble understanding

Margherita: no problem, i will send in email ... i'm in india and the connection is not very reliable

Ralph: we would like to publish the SKOS Reference as LC, which means we don't plan on making any more technical changes, do you think we should have your discussion about irreflexivity and wait

marghe: all the comments on the list were fine for me

<Ralph> Margherita: all the responses to my comments seem ok. Generally, I wondered why more properties are not declared as irreflexive

TomB: it sounds like your concerns should not hold up LC?

marghe: definitely

TomB: so we'll go ahead w/ publication of LC working draft
... perhaps we can combe back to SKOS Quick Reference next week

<scribe> ACTION: Alistair to update the history page adding direct link to latest version of rdf triple [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/06/17-swd-minutes.html#action01] [CONTINUES]

GuusS: for next time we need to put on the agenda the Implementation Report, and how we're going to handle the candidate rec period for SKOS
... last piece of real work, assuming LC goes well

TomB: next call will be on 2 Sep
... congrats to all the editors, see you next week
