14:08:11 <Benjamin> ivan: let's discuss ISSUE-6 with Shane
14:10:20 <Benjamin> Topic: RDFa DOM API Status Update
14:10:27 <Benjamin> manu: Mark and Manu discussed issues on integrating both RDFa DOM API proposals
14:10:49 <Benjamin> ... Benjamin is ok with the changes.
14:11:13 <manu> http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/sources/rdfa-dom-api/
14:11:25 <Benjamin> markbirbeck: Excellent work manu!
14:11:42 <Benjamin> manu: changes are highlighted on the mailing list
14:12:32 <Benjamin> ... what we had was a low level API covering RDF types and some basic methods for retrieving triples
14:13:27 <Benjamin> ... Mark had many ideas to improve that and proposed to use this API even for other language formats (microformats, vcard, ...) than RDFa.
14:14:19 <Benjamin> ... added concepts of parser and store into the API and wrote about how to initialize the API
14:15:05 <Benjamin> ... We agreed on a much more gentle introduction of the document
14:15:38 <Benjamin> ... Is this the right direction?
14:16:29 <Benjamin> ivan: wrote my oppinion in the mailing list.
14:17:02 <Benjamin> ...  Finally, we should split parts of the document into several documents
14:17:47 <Benjamin> ... It's hard to understand the document because of the different levels that are mentioned.
14:18:31 <Benjamin> ... Ordinary users may be confused by too technical parts (e.g., store, parsers)
14:19:50 <Benjamin> ... in an Appendix a clean IDL specification of the API should exist
14:20:58 <Benjamin> ... The examples  do not specify enough what is happening underneath
14:22:35 <Benjamin> manu: We plan to have implementation details in section 3 and 4.
14:22:45 <manu> zakim, q?
14:22:45 <Zakim> I see no one on the speaker queue
14:22:58 <markbirbeck> q+
14:23:17 <Benjamin> ivan: The document should be edited more as manual or reference guide.
14:24:06 <Benjamin> q+
14:24:11 <manu> ack markbirbeck
14:25:36 <Benjamin> markbirbeck: We can move several specifications and examples to be more self explanatory.
14:26:19 <manu> ack benjamin
14:26:51 <manu> q+
14:26:59 <manu> Benjamin: I'm wondering about who the audience is for this?
14:27:21 <manu> Benjamin: Maybe we want to have different sections for different readers.
14:28:27 <Benjamin> ivan: man target group are developers but for a while users won't have any other document source than this specification
14:28:57 <markbirbeck> s/man target/main target/
14:29:40 <Benjamin> manu: The HTML WG also discuss on existing difficult specifications. Anyway specifications should read like an O'Reilly book.
14:29:47 <tinkster> q+
14:29:49 <markbirbeck> q+ To comment on end-users needing to be able to use specs.
14:30:01 <Benjamin> ... we have two target groups, developers and users
14:30:02 <manu> ack IPcaller
14:30:02 <tinkster> zakim, unmute me
14:30:03 <Zakim> tinkster should no longer be muted
14:30:12 <manu> ack [IPcaller]
14:30:44 <Benjamin> tinkster: We should publish an extra document with examples that reads like a Primer
14:30:51 <manu> ack mark
14:30:51 <Zakim> markbirbeck, you wanted to comment on end-users needing to be able to use specs.
14:30:55 <tinkster> zakim, mute me
14:30:55 <Zakim> tinkster should now be muted
14:31:01 <manu> ack tinkster
14:31:13 <tinkster> zakim, mute me
14:31:13 <Zakim> tinkster should now be muted
14:32:21 <Benjamin> markbirbeck: A Primer will set off pressure of this document. But a single document will preserve what is really meant to happen in the specification instead of having multiple documents like they exist for RDF(S).
14:32:51 <Benjamin> q+
14:33:44 <manu> ack Benjamin
14:34:06 <manu> Benjamin: Having read the document, I don't think we need to strip the document into separate documents.
14:34:42 <manu> Benjamin: We may want several sections Beginner Users vs. Advanced Developers vs. Implementers
14:34:48 <markbirbeck> q+ 
14:35:02 <manu> Benjamin: I think it's okay to repeat ourselves throughout the document.
14:36:08 <markbirbeck> :)
14:36:10 <manu> ack mark
14:36:46 <manu> Mark: I don't think that we'll repeat ourselves as much as you think we will.
14:36:51 <Benjamin> manu: Can we publish a FPWD of this API in two weeks?
14:37:57 <markbirbeck> Mark: Agree with Benjamin that we shouldn't be scared of repeating ourselves in each section (with later sections being more detailed than previous ones). However, since we have some interfaces that are aimed at web developers only, and some interfaces that are aimed at more experienced programmers, then early sections will have different content to later ones.
14:38:06 <Benjamin> ivan: If we integrate the issues we are discussing here into this document, we can do a FPWD.
14:38:10 <tinkster> zakim, unmu8te me
14:38:10 <Zakim> I don't understand 'unmu8te me', tinkster
14:38:14 <tinkster> zakim, unmute me
14:38:14 <Zakim> tinkster should no longer be muted
14:39:13 <Benjamin> tinkster: The API has a different shape than the current document.
14:39:18 <tinkster> zakim, mute me
14:39:18 <Zakim> tinkster should now be muted
14:40:18 <manu> Topic: ISSUE-8: Parsing CURIE lists (on Shane)
14:40:26 <manu>    http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/issues/8
14:41:11 <Benjamin> manu: We never specified handling whitespaces in RDFa specs.
14:41:59 <ivan> q+
14:42:02 <manu> ack ivan
14:42:36 <Benjamin> ... e.g. newlines tabs etc. are specified in XML.
14:43:13 <tinkster> Could we recommend that authors always use a single space character?
14:43:16 <Benjamin> ivan: the host language (HTML, or XML dialect) has to specify handling whitespaces.
14:43:20 <tinkster> (as a SHOULD)
14:44:55 <tinkster> HTML5 it seems defers the definition of whitespace to Unicode.
14:46:06 <Benjamin> manu: we may propose that RDFa refers to the host language for handling whitespaces.
14:46:42 <manu> PROPOSAL: RDFa defaults to the Host Language for what constitutes whitespace.

14:48:52 <tinkster> zakim, unmute me
14:48:52 <Zakim> tinkster should no longer be muted
14:49:07 <Benjamin> ivan: We used a whitespace separated list in CURIE specification. That should be clear enough.
14:49:57 <Steven> Steven has joined #rdfa
14:50:06 <Benjamin> tinkster: Most languages leave whitespace handling and occurances open e.g. in XML and HTML5
14:50:08 <Steven> zakim, who is on the phone?
14:50:08 <Zakim> On the phone I see Knud (muted), [MIT528] (muted), [IPcaller], Ivan, BenjaminA, tinkster, markbirbeck

14:50:18 <Zakim> +Steven
14:50:40 <Steven> Apologies, I got my times mixed up.... :-(
14:51:20 <Benjamin> tinkster: we are talking about whitespaces within attributes.
14:51:50 <Benjamin> ... the host language specs does not talk much about that
14:52:04 <Steven> rrsagent, here?
