RESOLVED next telecon 10 March, 1500 UTC

SKOS

Ralph: I pinged the chair of I18N yesterday
... no response yet
... but Richard Ishida did ask if we were going to reply to his 2-Feb message
... Felix Sasaki followed that up in public-swd-wg/2009Feb/0011

Guus: we won't be able to solve all the problems of concepts in different languages

Alistair: when I read Felix's response he seemed to be explaining the theories of thesaurii in various languages
... so there didn't really seem to be an issue; just a dialog

Guus: perhaps making that statement would be an appropriate followup from us

ACTION: Alistair look at Richard Ishida and Felix Sasaki's messages in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2009Feb/thread.html#msg10 and see if there's an issue [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/24-swd-minutes.html#action01]

ACTION: [CONTINUES] Ralph include in the Call for Implementation prose on "feedback on implementations of SKOS Editors and Checkers" [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/10-swd-minutes.html#action07]

SKOS Ontology

ACTION: [DONE] Alistair update the RDF file for response to Magnus Knuth's comment [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/10-swd-minutes.html#action03]

Alistair: I believe I've done this and thought I'd sent mail
... will find that mail

-> "Re: ISSUE-190: Last Call Comment: Unicity of prefLabel (comment in SKOS RDF)" [Alistair 2009-02-10]

<aliman> thanks ralph, that's it

ACTION: [DONE] Antoine raise and close an issue for Magnus Knuth's comment [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/10-swd-minutes.html#action02]

Antoine: action should have read "raise and open"

Ralph: yep

-> "Re: [SKOS] Re: TR : W3C SKOS Reference Last Call (3 days left in comment period) [ISSUE-189, ISSUE-190]" [Antoine's reply]

SKOS Primer

Antoine: there might still be updates to the Primer

<Antoine> public-esw-thes/2009Feb/0069

Antoine: Pat Hayes read the Primer and commented on a misleading sentence
... I proposed one rewrite, and Alistair proposed a different one
... then I received mail from Pat accepting my rewrite

Alistair: go ahead with your version

ACTION: Antoine provide a pointer to the new Primer Editor's Draft [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/24-swd-minutes.html#action05]

Antoine: Pat neglected to cc: his reply to a list, so his approval of my text isn't on a record

Guus: just include Pat's reply in your mail

Implementation Report

Sean: start of implementation report
... best thing is to keep it simple

ACTION: [DONE] Sean to report on SKOSED for SKOS implementation report [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/01/06-swd-minutes.html#action10]

Guus: I think it's OK to close Sean's action given the draft
... dl.getdropbox.com/u/573036/SWD/implementation is the kind of implement I was hoping for

Sean: it's hard to pin down some things
... so it's necessarily somewhat informal

<seanb> From the OED: wooly: " 6. transf. and fig. Lacking in definiteness or incisiveness; ‘muzzy’; (of the mind, etc.) confused and hazy; (of painting, etc.) lacking in clearness or definition; (of sound, etc.) dull and indistinct."

Ralph: Thanks, Sean :)

ACTION: Sean move http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/573036/SWD/implementation.html to the WG Wiki [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/24-swd-minutes.html#action07]

ACTION: Antoine add the Vrieje Uni tool to the implementation report [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/24-swd-minutes.html#action08]

RDFa

Ben: discussions with the HTML Working Group continue
... it's a bit of a roller coaster
... Manu Sporny has been a good interface with them
... we're exploring the possibility of proposing a new attribute, @prefix, as a way of moving forward on CURIE mappings
... within the Task Force we're close to consensus on adding @prefix, (name not cast in concrete)
... would do the same thing as @xmlns

Guus: I'd be in favor of this

Ben: the reason for a new attribute is ...
... some parsers will do the right thing with @xmlns accumulating all the prefixes declared up to each point in the document
... other parsers might not do this; it depends on how the DOM tree might be fixed-up
... so it's inconsistent whether one can get at all the @xmlns data with every DOM implementaton
... I've demonstrated working code for every modern browser but it's admittedly a bit messy
... sometimes need to use DOM level 1 calls
... all this is much cleaner if we use some other attribute than @xmlns
... the Task Force hopes to converge very quickly
... thought of perhaps issuing a Note on what we think ought to be done
... but very recently there's some feedback suggesting we propose to revise the RDFa Recommendatoin

Ralph: might be able to do this as a Proposed Edited Recommendation
... I'll have to remind myself what review is required for that

Ben: we're getting very positive feedback on @prefix unofficially from implementors

Guus: if there's any chance of doing this, I'm very much in favor of it

<TomB> http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#cfr-edited

Ralph: even if it means extending the Working Group by 1-4 weeks?

Guus: certainly
