[on Manu Sporny - due 2011-10-20]. 14:18:39 Topic: ISSUE-108: Refine/deprecate Link relations 14:18:57 http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/issues/108 14:20:21 manu1: one approach we can take it accept the values specified by HTML5 14:21:01 manu1: initial list could be the same as the XHTML values, and wait until the new values are standardized to add them 14:21:25 manu1: only tweak about the proposal would be to remove stylesheet, not really useful and people don't like it. 14:21:40 The May Microdata spec removed alternate and stylesheet and replaced them with ALTERNATE-STYLESHEET 14:21:42 manu1: maybe also remove alternate as it's not used the way we would expect it in RDF 14:22:47 Shane: alternate: 14:23:20 q+ 14:23:40 Shane: alternate has a specific use in the wild today (e.g. RSS) 14:23:49 ack gkellogg 14:24:35 gkellogg: micro data used to do in an earlier version of the spec: use ALTERNATE-STYLESHEET to remove them 14:25:05 Shane: we don't care about the RDF generated by stylesheet 14:26:06 manu1: hold off alternate or stylesheet until the processer would have processed all @rel to decide what value should be generated 14:26:35 manu1: we want to generate useful triples for people on the semantic web. stylesheet and alternative are usually not useful. 14:26:54 ... people who need these would not use RDF for the purpose of alternative and stylesheet 14:27:07 .. I agree: stylesheet without content is reasonably quite useless 14:27:19 .. i.e. without the html 14:27:43 q+ 14:27:49 manu1: Shane made a point not to remove alternate as it can link to alternate representation (RSS) 14:27:49 ack niklasl 14:28:15 niklasl: we could also say that if @rel contains stylesheet we would ignore the @rel 14:28:51 manu1: is anybody depending on @rel alternate? would be surprised if there was any 14:29:11 niklasl: I think there is a potential for it, I would probably use dc:hasFormat for that use case though 14:29:31 manu1: since RDFa has been around 2008, if today there is no use case today, we could remove it 14:29:49 manu1: in the vast majority of the use case, it generates wrong triples 14:31:23 Shane: on ALTERNATE-STYLESHEET: collection of value in the vocab document. if the HTML WG is randomly introducing new terms with semantics, there is potential for conflicts. e.g. role. is anyone worried about that? 14:31:36 manu1: we would raise an issue in the HTML WG if this was to happen 14:31:42 ... that's all we can do 14:33:47 manu1: the only thing we're talking about is the removal of stylesheet and alternate 14:33:55 manu1: any disagree? or want to add something? 14:34:02 s/any/anyone 14:34:18 ShaneM has joined #rdfa 14:34:44 ACTION: Shane to respond to mailing list with pointer to discussion today about alternate/stylesheet 14:34:44 Created ACTION-99 - Respond to mailing list with pointer to discussion today about alternate/stylesheet [on Shane McCarron - due 2011-10-20]. 14:35:03 Topic: First IRI in @typeof determines the vocabulary used 14:35:12 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdfa-wg/2011Oct/0016.html 14:35:26 scor: I'm not the first one to propose this - some background. 14:35:53 scor: @vocab was introduced to make it easier to author content - to avoid using prefixes/CURIEs - so that was good, makes the markup easier. 14:36:30 scor: I think a burden remains - people that come from Microdata - there is a new concept that they have to understand - vocabularies. It's one more thing that people have to learn. 14:36:56 scor: Microdata solves this problem by just saying that the itemtype is the base vocabulary (implicitly). 14:37:41 scor: I was wondering if RDFa could adapt the same approach as Microdata - give the option of extracting the vocabulary from the first item in @typeof 14:38:22 scor: The only difference is that @vocab becomes optional - you can remove vocab and put the full URI of the type in @typeof... processors would infer the vocabulary from the first IRI in @typeof. 14:38:37 scor: We could allow for CURIEs in @typeof if the prefix is described somewhere in the document. 14:39:00 scor: So you could have something like typeof="skos:Contact" and then the skos namespace would become the default @vocab. 14:39:12 q+ 14:39:20 ack gkellogg 14:39:20 s/skos:Contact/skos:Concept 14:40:13 gkellogg: I was uncomfortable with this feature in MIcrodata... in RDFa it seems dangerous - it doesn't solve all of the problems you want. It's common to use properties from other vocabs like Dublin Core with schema.org - it seems unnatural for RDFa to be able to do that. 14:40:16 q+ 14:40:29 gkellogg: RDFa just has other mechanisms to make this easier. 14:40:50 scor: I'm not saying RDFa should drop everything else, just add this to make markup easier. 14:41:15 q+ 14:41:20 scor: This is just a shortcut to not use @vocab. 14:41:21 ack scor 14:41:49 scor: The idea is that people that come from Microdata could make the change easily. It's just a search/replace. 14:42:12 q+ 14:42:31 niklasl: I think I agree with Toby - who proposed this initially, and has since come around to not supporting this feature. There are problems with this approach - like what happens when you do chaining - there are technical issues. 14:42:34 ack niklasl 14:43:04 niklasl: This might be a bit too magical, rather than the explicit use of @vocab. 14:43:07 ack scor 14:44:10 scor: I don't know if there is a problem with @vocab. re: Chaining - I believe that Microdata use cases will not use that. Raising this proposal from Microdata perspective. This is so that people can convert Microdata to RDFa easily. This feature will only be used with simple markup. 14:44:14 aq+ 14:44:16 q+ 14:45:51 niklasl: I kind of see your point - but there are issues. If I use full IRIs with this mechanism, that would also set the @vocab. @vocab specifies the namespace - but so does @typeof... that may be confusing - that's what Microdata kinda does. 14:46:13 How do we know how to process the IRI in a deterministic way? 14:46:52 Is conversion from Microdata to RDFa a use case we care about? 14:47:07 niklasl: How is the vocabulary determined? 14:47:25 gkellogg: Everything after the slash or hash - which is different from Hixie's spec. 14:47:58 niklasl: Yes, this is aligned with schema.org - that's what you'd expect. 14:48:16 gkellogg: and this is why we did it that way. 14:48:27 niklasl: Microdata dropped any conversion to RDF... where are we on that? 14:48:40 https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/htmldata/raw-file/24af1cde0da1/microdata-rdf/index.html#generate-the-triples 14:48:41 gkellogg: HTML Data TF has responsibility to document how to convert Microdata to RDF. 14:49:28 ..

14:50:57 manu1: it is not if you don't know that you can use @vocab 14:51:04 q+ 14:53:09 manu1: I don't know if we should care about this use case. 14:53:12 ack manu1 14:53:16 ack scor 14:53:36 scor: I agree if you know that @vocab exists, but if you don't know it exists - then it's difficult to learn that new thing. 14:53:51 scor: However, with this, it's not as confusing. 14:54:03 scor: People don't have to learn about @vocab - they just use @typeof. 14:54:04 q+ 14:54:09 ack manu1 14:56:21 manu1: The mechanism to break the Microdata IRI into vocab is confusing. 14:57:02 scor: RDFa has a mixture of attributes to be added to markup - in Microdata you just have @itemtype... in RDFa you have @vocab and @typeof. 15:00:49 PROPOSAL: Add functionality to @typeof where if the first token is an IRI, that sets the default vocabulary for processing. 15:01:03 -1 15:01:04 -1 15:01:04 +1 15:01:05 -1 15:01:07 -1 15:01:08 +1 15:01:08 -1 15:01:49 RESOLVED: Add functionality to @typeof where if the first token is an IRI, that sets the default vocabulary for processing. 15:02:07 s/Add/Do not add/ 15:02:15 http://openspring.net/blog/2011/09/30/schemaorg-rich-snippets-drupal-7-rdfa 15:08:40 -McCarron 15:08:44 -scor 15:08:45 -manu1 15:08:45 -gkellogg 15:08:46 -SebastianGermesin 15:08:50 -Knud 15:08:51 -niklasl 15:08:51 SW_RDFa()10:00AM has ended 15:08:52 Attendees were gkellogg, +1.540.961.aaaa, manu1, McCarron, niklasl, Knud, +68185775aabb, SebastianGermesin, scor 15:09:55 Knud has left #rdfa 15:16:07 ShaneM has left #rdfa 15:43:30 niklasl_ has joined #rdfa 15:51:46 niklasl has left #rdfa 16:18:26 MacTed has joined #rdfa 17:01:03 Zakim has left #rdfa 17:05:25 ShaneM has joined #rdfa 17:08:35 ShaneM has left #rdfa 18:24:48 tomayac has joined #rdfa 20:04:35 trackbot, bye 20:04:35 trackbot has left #rdfa 21:19:56 tomayac has joined #rdfa 21:33:05 ShaneM has joined #rdfa 22:05:24 MacTed has joined #rdfa 22:36:20 ShaneM has joined #rdfa 22:46:08 ShaneM has left #rdfa 22:49:25 ShaneM has joined #rdfa
