<tmichel> Hello Doug

<tmichel> no one from the API team ...

<tmichel> too bad we had Doug today ...

comments from doug

<shepazu> http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-mediaont-api-1.0-20100608/

doug: make sure to look at right version
... previous comment still holds for the current version
... don't think that browser vendors will implement all the 32 interfaces in the spec

<tmichel> LC comment from Doug

<tmichel> http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/42786/WD-mediaont-api-1.0-20100608/2406

doug: approach is very java-like, very verbose, strongly typed
... same solution as proposed at last tpac an even before group started: only 1 or 2 methods only for getting metadata
... generic methods instead of typed interfaces

<tmichel> should have only one ot two methods allowing to get the metadata generecly

doug: there is generic getProperty, but different interfaces for return types

<tmichel> doug: what is the goal of all these interfaces ?

<tmichel> Doug: I was confused, with earlier draft. But now it seems fine.

doug: specific return types are not necessary
... to get data in a generic way will not work with strongly typed return types
... it's more java and not usual for javascript developers used to json structures
... could be name value pairs
... should not be described as interfaces
... generic json style object should be the goal
... dicussion on filtering results at last tpac
... eg getting all titles, filter for subtitles, episode titles etc
... or filter for certain format
... not sure how to do that with a generic array
... document states its for both client and server side use
... not clear how it could be used on a server

joakim: api exposed as web service, to be called from client

doug: shared ontology is useful
... not sure if designing for both client and server is good approach
... focus on client
... metadata for media file can be remote
... important to clarify what is meant by the interfaces
... should clarify that people are not expected to implemented multiple different interfaces

joakim: there are 3 questions:

1. what is meant by interfaces

2. less strong typing of return types

3. filtering results by subproperties

doug: if you do not talk about interfaces, the question of whether all need to be implemented disappears
... if application supports ontology, it should be possible to retrieve all the values
... are there properties that there are more problematic than others?

joakim: here is an example for title in 3.5.2.1
... returning a specific subtype of title

doug: json format as return format would make things easier to understand
... need to look more closely to this

joakim: could you propose an example?

doug: json looks ok, but maybe not with a more complex example
... makes more sense to have a json style repsonse format
... plan to talk to Cameron McCormack about whether is the correct use of webidl for this purpose
... scenario: mp3 with album title, song title, annotations in id3
... plus annotations in xmp with the 2 titles
... expect to get 4 titles, 2 from id3, 2 from xmp
... expect to be able to filter to just get the xmp
... in addition, get creation date of metadata and author of metadata
... using same set of properties for meta-metadata seems to be solution

needs to be described in the document

doug: each piece has to contain where it comes from
... either on the high-level structure or as a nested structure
... on high-level, it would be useful to all titles and authors
... but to filter by annotation, and not go down to specific properties and then filter
... meta-metadata should be part of return data
... rather than overloading getProperty, return values first and filter results
... append filters to narrow results

<joakim> I was thrown out from zakim

doug: will draw up a few scenarios, and put together what I expect the api to return

joakim: people at sony ericsson were interested in having provenance of metadata

doug: would like to talk to browser vendors more deeply, not sure if possible in time
... currently not sure that all common use case are covered by the api
... will draw up scenario and wg to decide whether its covered by the spec

thierry: set up specific telecon with api doc editors and doug at a time more convenient for doug
... possible time tuesday 13:00 utc (15:00 cest)

joakim: anything urgent about LC status?

thierry: thought about scheduling 2nd LC, in order to manage before tpac
... seems very difficult to achieve
... goal should be to finalise docs a tpac

<daniel> I think we may can not catch up the proposed schedule. There are still so many open issues...

thierry: to avoid 3rd LC
... before tpac we should have a good idea what has already implemented from lc comments
... some commenters want to see editors draft
