<ericP> juansequeda, i think the use cases in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/12-Direct-Tests cover http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/wiki/All_Cases_for_Default_Mapping , but i'd like a second pair of eyes

<juansequeda> ericP, I was looking into this.

<juansequeda> Quick eyeball check says yes. But need to look at it carefully

<juansequeda> nicely done.

<boris> Hi, I have problems with the passcode

<PatHayes> I will have to leave the telecon about 15 mins early today, apologies.

<mhausenblas> scribenick: Ashok

<juansequeda> Marcelo will be a bit late but he will start attending again today

<mhausenblas> thanks juansequeda

PROPOSAL: Accept the minutes of last meeting, see http://www.w3.org/2010/10/05-rdb2rdf-minutes.html

RESOLUTION: Minutes approved

FPWD "Relational Database to RDF Mapping Language" http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/r2rml/

FPWD "Relational Database to RDF Mapping Language" http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/r2rml/

Richard: Continuing work on the draft ... latest version checked in a few minutes ago
... worked on Action 1 to address some of the issues raised last week
... audience etc.
... some issues not addressed
... like version on SQL supported

<mhausenblas> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdb2rdf-wg/2010Oct/0007.html

Ashok: I recommend Core of latest version of SQL ... sent mail earlier
... core not very different from SQL 99 or even SQL 92

Richard: Need to work on scope of the document
... e.g. how it interacts with formal semantics
... added some words on target audience

Michael: Can you talk about prerequisite knowledge ... SQL?
... Add sentence about required background

Richard: Not yet addes inline examples

Souri: We added a few inline examples

Michael: Can you add the ouput also?

c/output/output/

Michael: Make clear what is normative

Discussion about how to indicate what is normative

<ericP> [[

<ericP> Unless otherwise noted in the section heading, all sections and appendices in this document are normative.

<mhausenblas> http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-rdb2rdf-ucr-20100608/

Michael: Did you check the Usecases & Requirements document

Souri: We can check

PatHayes: Where is the mapping

Souri: See examples at end

<betehess> +1 to Pat: I don't see what the input and what is the output, especially in the default case

<juansequeda> We have a datalog specification of the mapping here: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/wiki/Default_Mapping

<juansequeda> EricP has defined another version of the mapping based on sets http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/directGraph/

Juan: Is the datalog mapping useful

PatHayes: Yes, that's helpful

Michael: Pat, could you help write what the mapping is?

Souri: Perhaps write a description of mapping at the front

Michael: Can you write the sentence in IRC?

Souri: I will work on it

Michael: Can we publish next week?

Richard: Need to do some work
... at what point is document good enough?

Michael: We need toexplain the mapping

<mhausenblas> Michael: Once the mapping semantics are defined (highlevel, in natural language) the document is good to go, IMO

<ericP> +1 to cygri

<Seema> +1 to cygri

<betehess> +1 to cygri

<Souri> A row in a relational table has <a row identifier> and a number of <column-name, value> pairs. Such a row may be translated to RDF as follows: subject := MAP(<row identifier>) and <predicate, object> := <MAP(column-name), MAP(value)>, for each <column-name, value> pair. An RDF triple is generated by combining the above as follows: <subject, predicate, object>

<mhausenblas> Michael: rename 2. Overview into 2. Mapping (or the like) and incl. Souri's semantics paragraph from above

DanM: We have data, names of columns and names of tables ... actually quite simple

<betehess> Souri's introduction is not enough to explain what's going on: what about Primary Key, Foreign Key, Compound Key, etc. ?

<Seema> foerign keys are handled in the current document

Souri, Ashok agree with Dan

<mhausenblas> Michael: +1 to Dan

Alexandre explains his position for more explanation

<juansequeda> betehess, does this solve your questions: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/wiki/Default_Mapping and http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/directGraph/

<betehess> if the simple mapping is so easy, show it to us

<juansequeda> betehess, did you see this: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/wiki/Default_Mapping and http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/directGraph/

<betehess> juansequeda, yes, but it has not been discussed today

<juansequeda> betehess, we have kept that a separate discussion

<juansequeda> but as I suggest, maybe we need to put these two things together

<mhausenblas> [adjourned]

<mhausenblas> trackbot, end telecon
