<Steven__> trackbot, start telcon
<trackbot> Meeting: RDFa Working Group Teleconference
<trackbot> Date: 30 September 2010
<ivan> scribe: Knud
<ivan> scribenick: Knud
Ivan: welcome to Nathan, we know
him from the mailing list as an active contributor
...: Nathan joins as an invited expert
"Empty element should not create literals"
Nathan: I think empty triples should be generated
<Steven__> I agree
...: there might be situations where you _want_ an empty
string, like not having a middle name
<Zakim> ShaneM, you wanted to
agree that the empty triples should be generated
...: this would be just moving the problem
ivan: it would still possible to generate an empty string with @content
shane: agree with Nathan - RDFa is just another serialisation, why should there be a special case for it?
steven: I also agree. It would be wrong to not create empty literals
<ivan> PROPOSED: empty elements should generate empty literals (Issue-40)
<Steven__> +1
<ivan> +1
<NathanR> +1
<ivan> PROPOSED: not to accept the change request in Issue-40
<Steven__> +1
<ivan> +1
<NathanR> +1
<ivan> RESOLVED: not to accept the change request in Issue-40
ivan: not formally closed, because too many active people missing
"Consider relationship between LinkTypes in RDFa and the IETF LinkType registry"
shane: there is work having to do
with http headers. creating a registry for values of @rel
...: however, what we do is slightly different than
usually.
... our values of @rel are terms, and is extenable
... hostlanguages can define their own terms
... hostlanguages could worry about linking, registering, etc.
those terms with the IETF
ivan: however, we plan to define a default profile (of terms) for XHTML
shane: exactly. We define terms, can look for correlations, but we should not have a dependency to the IETF
<ivan> PROPOSED: RDFa does not introduce an explicit dependency on the LinkTypes registry (Issue-35)
<ShaneM> +1
+1
<ivan> +1
<Steven__> +1
<NathanR> +1
knud: should we explain that in the specs?
<ivan> RESOLVED: RDFa does not introduce an explicit dependency on the LinkTypes registry (Issue-35)
ivan: that's probably not
necessary
...: it was Manu who raised this initially
shane: on a related note - this
has to do with case-sensitivity of terms
...: in the IETF, they are case-sensitive
... in RDFa core, they are case-insensitive
"Any plain literal that does not have a (possibly empty) @datatype that matches the regex for a URL MUST be treated as an IRI object in RDFa."
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdfa-wg/2010Sep/0127.html
ivan: many people do not make a difference between URIs appearing as a literal, or as an attribute value of special attributes
steven: can we not apply a datatype to make a literal a URI?
ivan: this is not possible at the
moment
...: there is currently no corresponding xsd datatype
... and we cannot use "anyURI"
... there are legitimate cases where I want to have a literal,
a string, which conforms to the URI spec
... anyway, this would not help people like FB, because they
won't ask their developers to use this datatype
nathan: we should go with the common case. basically agree with the proposal
steven: this means that, every time we have a non-datatype string, we have to check if the string is an acceptable URI
<ShaneM> fubar ==
xsd:anyURI
...: problem: "fubar" is an acceptable relative URI
ivan: we may have to restrict to absolute URIs
<NathanR> ../foo & iso: & "" (0-length-string) all == xsd:anyURI
<NathanR> relative0uri*
<Zakim> ShaneM, you wanted to ask about datatypes
steven: there would still be lots of things that might be parsed as a URI. lots of string with a colon in it, for example
shane: I also see this problem. Also, we will probably need to allow relative URIs. e.g., resource="#foo", resource="picture.jpg"
<Steven__> <span property=my:datatype>xsd:integer</span>ยจ
<Steven__> xsd:integer would be seen as a URI
<NathanR> <span property="foaf:name">nathan</span> <--- would be a valid uri ref
<ivan> <meta property="og:sfdssf" content="http://....." />
<Steven__> Not for an abs URI
<Steven__> xsd:integer
nathan: I also agree this is a problem. maybe less of a problem with absolute URIs
<ShaneM> mailto:shane
steven: but even absolute URIs (that are meant to be URIs) are very hard to detect
<ShaneM> urn:...
...: isbn:43290489fj is an absolute URI
ivan: so, we might have to agree
on a family of URI schemes that have to be matched
...: is there an official registry of schemes?
shane: yes, there is the IETF scheme
<NathanR> skype:
steven: but not everybody uses this registry. Like Apple.
ivan: people using unregistered URI schemes could still use the "normal" way of specifying URIs, via @resource
<scribe> ACTION: shane to find reference to the IETF registry [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/09/30-rdfa-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-38 - Find reference to the IETF registry [on Shane McCarron - due 2010-10-07].
<ShaneM> Information on registring URI schemes: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4395
<ShaneM> ACTION-38: closed
<trackbot> ACTION-38 Find reference to the IETF registry notes added
<trackbot> If you meant to close ACTION-38, please use 'close ACTION-38'
<ShaneM> close ACTION-38
<trackbot> ACTION-38 Find reference to the IETF registry closed
steven: I would really like to find a general solution, not a hacky one
shane: we can still define a term to instruct the RDFa processor to interprete something as a URI
<ivan> <meta property="og:asfasdf" datatype="rdfa:resource" content="http://sfsd" />
<ShaneM> <link property='og:lala' datatype='xv:thisIsAURI'>http://example.com</link>
<ivan> <link rel="og:lala" resource="http://example.com"/>
ivan: this is probably just as difficult for the FB-esque community
nathan: it's also not backwards compatible
shane: if the OGP had an RDFa
profile, and if the profile could define that certain
properties have their values interpreted as a URI?
...: so we could invoke "follow-your-nose". the definition of
og:fdhskfj could specify that it's value is an rdf:resource
ivan: this is impossible to define in the current framework
nathan: long-term solution: a way for properties to define their ranges as needed here
