16:15:05 [Soeren]
no discussions about RIF today
16:15:25 [Soeren]
Ashok reports about Semantic Web gathering last Tuesday
16:16:01 [Soeren]
takes place regularly at MIT and organized by Kingsley
16:16:19 [Soeren]
Ashok reports about positive feedback
16:17:38 [Soeren]
Andrew from W3C supports RIF serialization of a mapping language
16:18:29 [Soeren]
creative commons aims at starting a common naming workgroup
16:19:55 [Soeren]
similar to ENS (and LSID)
16:21:32 [Soeren]
use cases should be referenced from the recommendation
16:23:24 [Soeren]
Orri: integration and interoperability justify the need for a mapping language
16:24:10 [Soeren]
http://linkedgeodata.org/
16:25:07 [Ashok]
Data from Open Streets
16:25:44 [Ashok]
Distributed World Wide Community ... anyone can contribute
16:26:35 [Ashok]
Data can be published as RDF. They use Triplify
16:26:59 [Soeren]
http://linkedgeodata.org/browser/
16:27:08 [Ashok]
There is also a facet-based browser for this data
16:27:55 [Ashok]
can search for bicycle-shops for example
16:28:16 [Ashok]
Open Street Maps
16:28:46 [Ashok]
Relational data structure but close to RDF
16:30:18 [Soeren]
OSM schema consists of relations and RDF like structures
16:30:45 [Ashok]
Each point and way as a unique ID
16:31:31 [Soeren]
points and ways are tagged with property value combinations
16:31:50 [Ashok]
That is FK into a tag table ... which has Mant-to-Many Rels from point to way ... 1 to M from Way to Tag
16:32:20 [Ashok]
Soeren propoert-vale annotations on each point or way

People shd try it out .... still work in progress ... setting up Wiki etc.
16:34:56 [Ashok]
Data is open, people can add and modify it... can create own properties and, in fact, new applications
16:36:07 [Ashok]
There is a website called MapMyRun which tells you where you can run anywhere in the world.
16:36:39 [iv_an_ru]
(Alan Ruttenberg should look at linkedgeodata. By replacing Earth map with X-Ray snapshot of, say, brain, he may get an interesting tutorial application)
16:36:55 [Soeren]
OSM applies the wiki approch to geo data
16:36:58 [Ashok]
Can be more detailed. Depends on the community. Liepzig and london are very detailed. Much more info than Google Maps
16:37:37 [Soeren]
Ivan sent email on the ordenance survey use case
16:39:37 [Soeren]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-rdb2rdf/2008Nov/0027.html
16:41:13 [Soeren]
Orri: mapping geo-graphical joining requires special SPARQL support
16:43:18 [Soeren]
OpenLink will look into the ordinance survey use case once logistics are clarified
16:44:54 [Soeren]
one week of work for OpenLink (after setup of the infrastructure) to create a showcase on using SPARQL for handling ordinance survey geo data
16:45:18 [Soeren]
Orri estimates most workload can be pushed down into the DB
16:46:49 [Ashok]
ACTION: Orri to write up Ordnance Survey Usecase by early January. Discuss on Jan 9 telcon.
16:47:47 [Ashok]
Topic: XG Recommendation
16:47:48 [Soeren]
talk about XG recommendation
16:47:52 [Ashok]
http://esw.w3.org/topic/Rdb2RdfXG?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=ProposedRecommendation
16:51:54 [Soeren]
ACTION: Ashok will send recommendation draft to mailing list
16:55:57 [Ashok]
Ahmed: How about a JDBC like interface that takes a SPARQL query and refurns RDF
16:56:46 [iv_an_ru]
Why "JDBC like"? Use JDBC...
16:57:59 [Soeren]
Orri says SPARQL and SQL can be mixed and used together
16:58:45 [Soeren]
SQL should be writeable inside SPARQL
16:59:00 [iv_an_ru]
If needed, I'll implement that quickly
16:59:31 [Soeren]
DAG working group exists
16:59:42 [iv_an_ru]
Actually, some SQL fragments appear in our mapping rules already, so the required infrastructure is in place.
16:59:51 [Ashok]
s/DAG/DAWG/
17:00:48 [Soeren]
fairly limited scope right now in DAWG
17:01:36 [Ashok]
Orri: Put a SQL view in SPARQL instead of graph-pattern
17:02:04 [Ashok]
SPARQL must have views and these may be SQL-views
17:03:46 [Soeren]
satya asks whether a SPARQL view can be considered as a sub graph
17:04:02 [Ashok]
Satya: Would a SPARQL-view be a ub-graph?
17:04:12 [Ashok]
Orri: It would be a derived table
17:05:28 [Soeren]
in-completeness of SPARQL complicates the problem
17:06:42 [Soeren]
ACTION: Ashok we remind on the public list on documents for review by the group
17:07:09 [Soeren]
next meeting 9th of Jan 2009

INC_RDB2RDF()11:00AM has ended
17:07:21 [Zakim]
Attendees were Ashok_Malhotra, Andrew_Eisenberg, Satya, Soeren, Wolfgang, [IPcaller], iv_an_ru
17:07:57 [Ashok]
Soeren: Result of SPARQL query is not always a graph ... SPARQL does not have relational completeness. Not easy to acheive.
17:08:49 [Ashok]
rrsagent, make logs public
17:08:59 [Ashok]
rrsagent, create minutes
