16:13:39 <Zakim> Luc, you wanted to ask about html generation tool
16:13:45 <dgarijo> I think that LODE was the most successful
16:14:19 <paolo> Luc: how about printing requirement
16:14:20 <pgroth> q+ to say that we need to ensure that we follow the w3c rec format
16:14:28 <paolo> tlebo: will be taken into account
16:14:38 <GK> (Doesn't mean one can't also have a browsable form :)

16:18:22 <pgroth> topic: prov-dm
<pgroth> Summary: Editors addressed most comments from the review of WD4 all remaining comments are noted in the document. It was agreed to include a revised version of derivation in WD4. The group also agreed to change the name of PROV-ASN to PROV-N. With these changes included, it was agreed to freeze WD4 as an internal release. A discussion around the new version of derivation was held. 
16:18:33 <Luc> http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/274
16:19:10 <paolo> Luc: all comments grouped last week (Luc and Paolo)  as ISSUE-274
16:19:23 <paolo> Luc: most resolved, rest noted in the current doc
16:19:50 <paolo> Luc: WD4 work to be frozen so that next set of tech issues can be tackled
16:19:55 <Zakim> +??P64
16:20:16 <paolo> Luc: important for PROV-o and other "serialisers" to have a frozen PROV-DM
16:20:25 <Luc> q?
16:20:25 <paolo> Luc: feedback solicited
16:20:31 <zednik> zednik has joined #prov
16:21:05 <GK> I reviewed DM4 today (up to about middle of section 4); much improved over previous but still some issues - happy to see these considered for DM5.
16:21:19 <GK> (Just sent comments to list)
16:21:21 <paolo> Luc: no response from Tim, but know he's been looking into WD4 for PROV-O. ok to move on?
16:21:41 <pgroth> q?
16:21:45 <paolo> tlebo: sec. II and III missed so far, but will go with group's decision to Freeze
16:22:32 <pgroth> q?
16:22:33 <paolo> GK: current comments sent to list supersede previous ones
16:22:35 <pgroth> q+
16:23:19 <pgroth> ack pgroth
16:23:28 <paolo> pgroth: happy to freeze, but does that entail updating the RDF if any signatures have changed? 
16:24:37 <paolo> tlebo: discrepancies are automatically detected -- thanks to changes in the PROV-DM markup
16:25:04 <Luc> http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/model/working-copy/wd5-prov-dm-derivation.html
16:25:39 <paolo> Luc: WD4 text on derivation is still the same as WD3. but needs simplification. Link above is a proposal
16:25:43 <Zakim> +[IPcaller.aaa]
16:26:16 <paolo> Luc: reviewed by Simon and others. Recent comments from GK and Curt taken into account
16:26:19 <GK> New text is big improvement.  I still have some issues with content but happy to see new text as basis of ongoing comments.
16:26:50 <paolo> Luc: seeking WG approval to incorporate into the editor's draft. and should it go into WD4 or WD5
16:26:51 <pgroth> q?
16:27:02 <stainPhone> stainPhone has joined #prov
16:27:22 <paolo> GK: still some issues, but big improvement. can go forward for discussion
16:27:32 <MacTed> MacTed has joined #prov
16:28:20 <paolo> Curt: agree that changes look good. some workflows may have requirements that match the current proposal
16:28:42 <paolo> Luc: where is this explained? DM part I or primer? seeking advice
16:28:46 <GK> q+ to say I think there's scope for simplifying here
16:29:17 <pgroth> ack GK
16:29:17 <Zakim> GK, you wanted to say I think there's scope for simplifying here
16:29:25 <paolo> Curt: suggest to use derivation simply, not tied into the roles and not tied back to gen/usage. These details may not go in part I
16:29:49 <Luc> q+
16:30:01 <pgroth> ack Luc
16:30:11 <paolo> GK: the entity-entity derivation can be accomplished by introducing an activity.
16:30:45 <pgroth> q?
16:30:56 <pgroth> we have time :-)
16:31:00 <paolo> Luc: but activities may be unknown, and also may not be known how "source" entities contributed, so a link into the derivation record is needed
16:31:01 <Curt> q+ could attributes be used to tie that?
16:31:02 <tlebo> q+
16:31:12 <pgroth> q?
16:31:15 <paolo> GK: not sure -- to be discussed further
16:31:26 <tlebo> q-
16:31:41 <tlebo> q+ to ask if WD4 vs WD5 is on the table for derivation's definition
16:31:53 <pgroth> q+
16:31:55 <paolo> Curt: can't role be used
16:32:13 <pgroth> ack tlebo 
16:32:13 <Zakim> tlebo, you wanted to ask if WD4 vs WD5 is on the table for derivation's definition
16:32:20 <paolo> Luc: roles in this case superseded by instances of usage/gen -- so need to be able to refer to those
16:32:39 <paolo> tlebo: should new defs go in WD4 or WD5
16:32:54 <GK> q+ to ask if "usage" and "generation" are events?  (happy to discuss in email if we're moving on)
16:33:06 <paolo> pgroth: suggest WD4 as it simplifies work on PROV-O, gives it only one derivation to work with
16:33:19 <pgroth> q?
16:33:23 <paolo> tlebo: agree

16:41:48 <Paolo_> Paolo_ has joined #prov
16:41:52 <Paolo_> (back)
16:42:18 <GK> GK: why is not being able to infer activity an issue in derivation?
16:42:27 <GK> Luc: (a) reproducibility
16:42:33 <GK> (b) analysis of traces
16:42:37 <Paolo_> Luc: issue with analysis with provenance traces
16:42:43 <Paolo_> (I can resume GK, thanks)
16:43:02 <pgroth> Zakim, who's load?
16:43:02 <Zakim> I don't understand your question, pgroth.
16:43:05 <Paolo_> Luc: type of activity important for reproducibility and analysis
16:43:07 <Zakim> -sandro
16:43:09 <pgroth> Zakim, who's loud?
16:43:09 <Zakim> I don't understand your question, pgroth.
16:43:20 <tlebo> zakim, who is making noise?
16:43:31 <Zakim> tlebo, listening for 10 seconds I could not identify any sounds
16:43:58 <Paolo_> Luc: details about input bindings into a procedure are only known from the usage records associated with the derivation
16:44:15 <stainPhone> but it is OK for a to be derived from b, generated by x, without x using b, right? 
16:44:52 <Paolo_> Luc: practical POV: a given activity may use same entity multiple times, with different roles
16:45:24 <stainPhone> or is (equivalent of) inprecise-n out now?
16:45:33 <Paolo_> Luc: formal POV: in the context of OPM there is a need to kow which activity is associated with each derivation, roles allow for some completeness results
16:46:05 <satya> @GK, agree - derivation is not for incorporating activity information
16:46:06 <satya> q+
16:46:10 <pgroth> q?
16:46:22 <Paolo_> GK: explicit activity expression already allowed this. This E-E derivation useful when that's not available?
16:46:23 <GK> I understand there;'s a need to express this information, but I thought it was possible through explicit activity/event expressions; entity-entity is for when less info is available?
16:46:58 <khalidbelhajjame> Usage + Generation does not always allow inferring Derivation
16:47:07 <Paolo_> Luc: activities are not just function calls, entities can be consumed at any time -- usage does not imply derivation
16:47:09 <pgroth> q?
16:47:14 <pgroth> ack satya 
16:47:16 <stainPhone> q+
16:47:28 <GK> Ah  usage + generation !=> derivation - forgot that.
16:47:51 <Paolo_> satya: why should usage/generation/roles be brought into a derivation record?
16:48:04 <Paolo_> satya: we are not trying to make inferences using derivation
16:48:26 <GK> Stian not hearing you
16:48:29 <khalidbelhajjame> We didn't hear you Stian
16:48:51 <Paolo_> stian: (hard to hear)
16:48:53 <stainPhone> ok
16:48:57 <khalidbelhajjame> Still breaking Stian
16:48:59 <tlebo> is it this: 	but it is OK for a to be derived from b, generated by x, without x using b, right? 
16:49:01 <stainPhone> ill type, go ahead
16:49:11 <Paolo_> (I missed it)
16:49:11 <stainPhone> tlebo, right
16:50:14 <Paolo_> Luc: @stian example is correct
16:50:30 <Curt> You could even have e2 derived from e1 in two different ways (two usage roles, if you will) within the same activity
16:50:32 <Paolo_> Khalid: essentially used imprecise_n derivation
16:50:45 <stainPhone> that makes srnse. but then you cant refer to those usages and generations?
16:50:59 <pgroth> q+
16:51:05 <pgroth> ack stainPhone
16:51:06 <Paolo_> GK: is there a use case that requires this form of derivation? possibly can be rephrased in terms of the simpler use
16:51:25 <Zakim> -[IPcaller.aaa]
16:51:38 <Paolo_> Luc: proposal does not involve embedding a generation / usage record into the derivation. just a reference to those records
16:51:40 <tlebo> @gk, I share your "orthogonalizatiaon" interest, but I view the current definition as a nice way of unifying the (otherwise isoloated) constructs.

16:52:43 <Paolo_> Luc: will put an example in the repo for discussion
16:52:44 <pgroth> q?
16:52:46 <GK> (I would like to see a use-case that *requires* the complex form of derivation.)
16:53:32 <stainPhone> if wasDerivedFrom(a,b) wasGenBy(a,x) used(b,x) then you are not guarantee that a was derived through that usage of b  
16:53:52 <pgroth> q?
16:53:55 <pgroth> ack pgroth 
16:53:59 <GK> OK, if it's useful, then maybe it can be descrtibed as a syntactic sugaring?
16:54:32 <Paolo_> pgroth: possibly more than syntactic sugar?
16:54:36 <pgroth> q?
16:54:39 <satya> @Stian: yes agree
16:54:40 <GK> Thanks for letting us air the topic.
16:54:41 <Paolo_> GK: hopefully the example will reveal that
