14:47:30 <sandro> mischat, yes, the MIT facility does that, but might not fit all the people who want to be local at MIT.
14:48:24 <mischat> sure
14:49:49 <mischat> well at least it is an option, i wonder how many people would be at the east coast event if there was a european place to sit as well ... 
14:50:24 <sandro> Yeah, mischat, Guus was going to make a poll to find the answer to that question.

15:18:42 <tomayac> andy: at the moment as turtle is defined, commas disallowed in prefix names
15:18:58 <tomayac> eric: disagrees
15:19:10 <tomayac> andy: that would be a change to sparql
15:19:57 <tomayac> andy: current form does not allow \u escapings

15:20:24 <Zakim> ok, webr3, I now associate you with [IPcaller]
15:20:38 <tomayac> gavin: thinks that ntriples has local names
15:20:57 <tomayac> andy: label for a bnode has to be decided on a per-output basis
15:21:15 <tomayac> andy: asks eric: are you happy w/ the outher proosals
15:21:18 <tomayac> eric: ACK
15:21:24 <davidwood> q?
15:21:32 <tomayac> andy: any other issues?
15:21:37 <tomayac> -- silence --
15:21:42 <tomayac> no other issues
15:21:59 <tomayac> andy: on what basis do we take the decision?
15:22:05 <ivan> q+
15:22:28 <tomayac> eric: on the prefix nodes issues: sorry it cant be done
15:22:30 <LeeF> I think it's a "nice feature to have", but I'm (of course) wary of changing SPARQL right now because of the impact on implementors 
15:23:03 <SteveH> +1 to LeeF 
15:23:23 <PatH> There is a dragon on the call breathing fire.
15:23:39 <tomayac> eric: no new prefix for each row in the db
15:23:42 <mischat> zakim, who is making noise ?
15:23:44 <davidwood> zakim, who is speaking?
15:23:45 <tomayac> eric: just use the same prefix
15:23:52 <Zakim> mischat, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: AndyS (83%), EricP (4%)
15:24:03 <Zakim> davidwood, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: AndyS (24%), davidwood (5%), AZ (8%), EricP (22%)
15:24:12 <PatH> sounds like LeeF is right, this is neat feature but not really essential. I suggest not worth changing sparql for.
15:24:14 <tomayac> andy: need a decision mechanism
15:24:22 <ivan> ack ivan
15:24:30 <AZ> zakim, mute me
15:24:30 <Zakim> AZ should now be muted
15:24:39 <tomayac> ivan: question is: what is the most, what is the least destructive answer?
15:25:00 <tomayac> ivan seems gone
15:25:08 <MacTed> Zakim, who's here?
15:25:08 <Zakim> On the phone I see gavinc, AZ (muted), Scott, tomayac, AndyS, OlivierCorby, davidwood, mbrunati, EricP, LeeF, MacTed (muted), FabGandon, PatH, pchampin (muted), Souri, AlexHall,
15:25:11 <Zakim> ... sandro, Russell, cmatheus, zwu2, [Garlik], [IPcaller]

15:25:39 <tomayac> lee: understands the use case
15:25:45 <Zakim> -AZ
15:25:47 <tomayac> lee: probably a good thing to include
15:25:50 <MacTed> (AZ muted, and ivan went quiet ... ivan isn't in the names list ... I'm guessing AZ took ivan's line)
15:25:55 <ivan> zakim, dial ivan-voip
15:25:56 <Zakim> ok, ivan; the call is being made
15:25:57 <Zakim> +Ivan
15:26:10 <tomayac> ivan is back
15:26:19 <davidwood> s/probably a good thing to include/probably not a good thing to include during SPARQL last call/
15:26:48 <LeeF> Also mildly disruptive with existing turtle and sparql implementations 
15:26:57 <tomayac> ivan: not only last call, but also deployed sparql versions
15:26:59 <LeeF> Both things -- disruptive to SPARQL schedule, and somewhat disruptive to implementations
15:27:14 <PatH> Maybe should ask, if we DONT do this, how bad would that be?
15:27:29 <tomayac> eric: not convinced that it's true
15:27:57 <MacTed> 1.1 (or later) have been known to break (or at least, go beyond) 1.0 ...
15:28:06 <ivan> q+
15:28:12 <PatH> Everyone sees to agree this would be kind of neat, but... So what is the but... for NOT doing it.
15:28:15 <MacTed> BASIC 2.0 commands broke in BASIC 1.0 interpreters...  :-)
15:28:27 <davidwood> q?
15:28:52 <tomayac> andy: argument for not doing it: its not currently in turtle and in sparql. how much need is out there?
15:29:03 <PatH> OK, thanks.
15:29:04 <tomayac> andy: whats the cost. would it cause a new last call?
15:29:12 <tomayac> pat: we have a choice:
15:29:28 <tomayac> pat: if we were to include it in turtle, we'd break the sparql turtle alignment
15:29:45 <AndyS> s/pat/davidwood/
15:29:46 <mischat> s/pat/davidwood/
15:29:48 <tomayac> pat: do we want to break sparql-turtle alignment?
15:29:56 <mischat> s/pat/davidwood/
15:30:05 <PatH> OK, seems to me that sparql/turtle alignment is worth quite a lot of loss of neat-o features.
15:30:06 <tomayac> eric: no
15:30:10 <davidwood> ack ivan
15:30:26 <tomayac> ivan: having a problem w/ sparql turtle alignment would be a mistake
15:30:38 <tomayac> ivan: sandro very diplomatic proposal:
15:30:59 <tomayac> ivan: if sparql goes to last call => sparql can make it a pending feature
15:31:04 <AndyS> if programmatic constructed, then the system writer gets it right anyway
15:31:15 <tomayac> ivan: if feedback on last call very negative => can be taken out
15:31:33 <PatH> Ivan, you should be in the State Department.
15:31:39 <PatH> +1 Ivan
15:31:41 <tomayac> ivan: make it clear that its an issue in pimplementations, and see what the feedback is
15:32:18 <tomayac> davidwood: happy with it
15:32:27 <tomayac> lee: implementers are here. opinions?
15:33:05 <tomayac> lee: happy, with the sparql hat on
15:33:25 <PatH> sparqly pimplementors unite!
15:33:50 <ericP> <PN_CHARS_BASE> |= UCHAR
15:33:50 <LeeF> LeeF: I'm ok with it, because I'm ok with not being 100% conformant, but I wouldn't run off to make this change in my code
15:34:07 <tomayac> ivan: to be fair, other changes for turtle would require turtle parsers to go thru an update circle
15:34:14 <SteveH> I think this is less invasive than the \u escape ordering thing
15:34:21 <SteveH> but I'm not a parser guy
15:34:57 <tomayac> andy: required update is for strings and iris
15:35:05 <tomayac> andy: believed not to affect many people
15:35:14 <ericP> _:Eve foaf:name "Eve\u0022 .
15:35:25 <tomayac> eric: in the sense of doesnt happen often enough?
15:35:30 <tomayac> andy: yep, in this sense
15:35:50 <tomayac> david: you think we make any progress on this, andy? or should we move on?
15:35:56 <tomayac> andy: think we should move on
15:36:03 <gavinc> as turtle implentor, I'm with Eric. Easy change to make.
15:36:07 <tomayac> ivan: can we agree on other issues to be solved?
15:36:27 <tomayac> andy: yes, i can draft a resolution
15:37:00 <tomayac> eric: one of the poiints in erics mail was: escaping should not be in the grammar, eric says: it should be in  the grammar
15:37:14 <tomayac> andy: i took whatever was in the current doc

15:55:35 <webr3> q: could I create an RDF serialization with literal subjects and defer to the rdf semantics?
15:55:36 <PatH> Andy: I agree, buit that goes way beyond issue-48.
15:55:55 <tomayac> davidwood: cant be considered closed
15:55:56 <AndyS> q+
15:55:59 <PatH> Yes, the semantics is fine iwth lieteral subjects.
15:56:05 <PatH> with literal
15:56:09 <tomayac> andy: happy to postpone
15:56:10 <davidwood> ack AndyS
15:56:15 <webr3> so it's in "rdf" but not in the official serializations
15:56:19 <tomayac> andy: rdf api allows literals as subjects
15:56:54 <tomayac> ivan: status of rdf api? first public working draft hopefully next week
15:57:06 <PatH> There was a chorus of disapproval for literal subjects at the initial workshop, mostly from developers who didnt want to alter lagacy code.
15:57:08 <tomayac> davidwood: for the moment we cant do anything about it
15:57:09 <webr3> it's now "rdf-interfaces" which contains it - rdf-api is a diff spec
15:57:15 <PatH> legacy
15:57:18 <webr3> +1 to continue
15:57:38 <AndyS> +1 to PatH - legacy is now a real issue (and that's good)
15:57:38 <tomayac> tomayac: rdf api is now rdf interfaces
15:57:41 <mischat> literal as subjects doesn't seem very webbie to me, but anyways ...

15:58:00 <tomayac> davidwood: ISSUE-50
15:58:09 <tomayac> davidwood: out of charter
15:58:20 <PatH> Sorry to go back, but I just noticed something about issue-42 that might be slightly important. The POWDER mechanism uses rdf:bag, which me therefor have to be careful not to deprecate.
15:58:37 <webr3> rdf-interfaces again allows bnode predicates
15:59:06 <tomayac> davidwood: should we leave it open? or postpone?
15:59:17 <PatH> FWIW< again the semantics is OK with bnode property labels, but some of the entailments might raise eyebrows.
15:59:20 <webr3> are we goign to discuss further? if nto postpone
15:59:29 <tomayac> davidwood: ISSUE-50 postponed

16:00:29 <gavinc> RDF Interfaces :\
16:00:37 <mischat> as in rdf-interfaces has bnode properties and literal subjects 
16:00:54 <tomayac> ivan: this issue is different than the previous one
16:01:11 <webr3> RDF interface implementations will support it.. rdf semantics do to, serializations don't - doesn't matter, this is behind the "public interface"
16:01:15 <tomayac> ivan: you might have bnodes as predicates
16:01:19 <webr3> +1 to what ivan is saying
16:01:28 <PatH> +1 to Ivan
16:01:31 <zwu2> +1 to Ivan
16:01:54 <tomayac> ivan: there was a huge discussion in the rdf applications wg
16:01:57 <PatH> This is a general issue, BTW, it also bears on literal subjects. 
16:02:15 <tomayac> ivan: bnodes as predicates is good, because if not, implementations might have problems
16:02:29 <pchampin> s/is good/is good in APIs/
16:02:44 <webr3> the needs for serializing RDF are different to the needs for workign with RDF - we need to accept that generally
16:03:05 <AndyS> Is there a serialization API?
16:03:12 <tomayac> ivan: if it's for me, we can close this issue
16:03:58 <PatH> It will damage the DL/Full boundary in OWL, for sure.
16:04:01 <tomayac> ivan: dont want to go down that route
16:04:03 <webr3> AndyS, roughly the RDF API (end user focussed) will be more restricted to the convensional (matching serializations)
16:04:32 <tomayac> david: if we postpone it goes to a later wg
16:04:37 <AndyS> webr3, pointer?
16:04:59 <zwu2> q+
16:05:03 <webr3> AndyS, http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/sources/rdf-api/Overview.html
16:05:03 <PatH> LOL
16:05:25 <tomayac> davidwood: we're postponing already, leaving leftovers, just like the previous wg did
16:05:31 <webr3> can we address it properly, to say semantics allows X serializations are advised to allow Y (Reasons) then CLOSE ?
16:05:41 <tomayac> davidwood: if we close, we need to say why
16:06:04 <AndyS> webr3, pointer to serilization? I only see about parser using serialize
16:06:13 <tomayac> davidwood: saying it is out of scope is way different than closing
16:06:23 <tomayac> ivan: every wg may reopen closed issues
16:06:28 <webr3> AndyS, you've confused me - you're looking for?
16:06:42 <davidwood> q?
16:06:52 <PatH> Ivan, you read my mind...
16:06:52 <davidwood> ack zwu
16:07:15 <PatH> Separate the issues!
16:07:17 <tomayac> zwu: how many people would truly object to have literals as subjects and bnodes as predicates
16:07:19 <SteveH> Garlik would object to both / either

16:09:31 <PatH> This is assuming that we have bnodes at all, of course.
16:09:43 <tomayac> zwu: one for the reasons are: if we are implementing an inference engine, it's way easier to allow, than disallow them
16:09:44 <gavinc> +1 to PatH
16:09:47 <MacTed> bnodes are useful in-process.  they are nothing but trouble once you leave process.
16:09:48 <davidwood> We have bnodes, Pat :)
16:09:55 <tomayac> ivan: -1 because it would invalidate many things in owl
16:09:57 <PatH> It depends what kind of inference engine uyou are tryuing to implement.
16:10:14 <PatH> OWL-DL would prohibit it rigorously, so it would add a layer of checking to thier engines.

16:11:11 <AndyS> gavinc, where??? and I'll stop that!!!!!!

16:12:30 <tomayac> davidwood: reads what people say on irc
16:12:34 <webr3> (I'm saying to leave open/raised until there's good text to close it with or to clarify around the issue)
16:12:39 <Zakim> -mbrunati
16:12:42 <LeeF> I don't think postponing is good. What's the point? If people find this useful and implement it, then we can standardize it in the future. But what's the point in continuing to say "meh"?
16:13:16 <SteveH> just close it, a future group can open a new issue if it becomes desirable

16:15:14 <tomayac> davidwood: pat raised a question on issue 42
16:15:33 <tomayac> path: rdf bag not much use
16:15:48 <tomayac> path: proposed to deprecate rdf bag
16:16:10 <tomayac> davidwood: thinks we still could deprecate
16:16:51 <pchampin> I thought we already excluded the deprecation of rdf:Bag as it was widely used in RSS
16:17:01 <pchampin> (vague memory of the F2F)

18:46:54 <LeeF> MacTed, would you be able to leverage the Virtuoso L.O.D. cloud to run a couple of analytics about the prevalence (or lack thereof) of xsd:string literals in  LOD? I'm curious whether we (Cam Semantics) are the only people using them with some regularity :)
