He went through a proposal from the chairs on extending the exit criteria in particular for the constraints. The group agreed that there are three types of implementations: usage of prov in a dataset, vocabularies that extend prov, software that generates/consumes PROV. The group agreed with the principle that for prov-constraints we would produce test cases that were tied to only the constraints but these test cases would also exercise the inferences. Furthermore, the group recommended looking at more automatic mechanisms for gathering results of test cases for constraints. Additionally, the exit criteria should be specific about which documents are tested. Paul was actioned to take this input and present a revised version of the exit criteria by the next telcon. Dong, Luc, Daniel all agreed to contribute to the development of test cases for prov-contstraints. Paolo agreed to help check test cases for correctness. 15:06:39 <pgroth> http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/ProvCRExitCriteria 15:06:57 <Paolo> pgroth: exit criteria were discussed at the latest F2F meeting 15:07:27 <pgroth> http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/reports/prov-implementations.html 15:07:47 <Zakim> + +1.818.393.aabb 15:07:48 <Paolo> exit criteria are here: http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/ProvCRExitCriteria 15:08:38 <pgroth> q? 15:08:42 <ivan> q+ 15:08:47 <Paolo> pgroth: these criteria apply to the DM and ontology 15:08:47 <pgroth> ack ivan 15:09:07 <Paolo> ivan: what is an "implementation" in this context 15:09:08 <hook> hook has joined #prov 15:09:22 <Zakim> -Luc 15:09:37 <Paolo> pgroth: using PROV in a dataset, e.g. markung up a web page 15:09:51 <Paolo> pgroth: a vocabulayr for ontologies that extend prov 15:10:14 <Paolo> pgroth: SW that generates and consumes PROV models 15:10:47 <Paolo> ivan: fine, suggest adding this phrasing to the wiki page containing the exit criteria 15:10:59 <stainN7> stainN7 has joined #prov 15:11:11 <Dong> @Paul: Sure 15:11:17 <pgroth> q? 15:11:17 <Paolo> ivan: also, when implementations are collected, tag them according to the category where they belong 15:11:29 <Paolo> pgroth: are people happy with those 3 categories? 15:11:33 <pgroth> q? 15:12:27 <Paolo> pgroth: these work for DM and O primarily. What would the criteria look like for CONSTRAINTS? 15:13:05 <Paolo> pgroth: need to demonstrate interoperability. 15:14:07 <Paolo> pgroth: proposed criteria: multiple implementations, and show that they support each of the constraints defined in the doc. This is done through a catalog of reference test cases that the implementation must be able to pass 15:14:28 <jcheney> q+ 15:14:36 <pgroth> ack jcheney 15:14:45 <Zakim> +[IPcaller.a] 15:14:49 <Paolo> pgroth: the implementation must correctly evaluate the test case against the constraints it is meant to exercise 15:15:01 <Luc> zakim, [IPcaller.a] is me 15:15:01 <Zakim> +Luc; got it 15:15:47 <stain> stainNexus7 has joined #prov 15:15:48 <Paolo> jcheney: clarification: the criteria include the constraints but exclude the inferences 15:16:07 <Paolo> pgroth: yes, but you probably need to do inferences as well as part of the implementation 15:16:11 <stain> Who would build those test cases? The wg? 15:16:46 <ivan> q+ 15:16:52 <pgroth> ack ivan 15:16:57 <Paolo> jcheney: are the test cases based on 'validity' which requires inferencing? or is inferencing one possible way to do the implementation 15:17:21 <jcheney> so perhaps the test cases should try to *exercise* the inferences 15:17:44 <Luc> +q 15:17:48 <Paolo> ivan: the constr doc contains inference rules, not just constraints. So are there inferences that will not be tested by the test cases? 15:18:54 <Paolo> jcheney: inferences are a mechanism to define validity, however in the doc we specify that other mechanisms to check validity are fine as well 15:19:31 <Paolo> ivan: that's fine then 15:20:14 <Paolo> Luc: to confirm what jcheney wrote above -- but the test case won't check that inferences have been applied 15:20:41 <pgroth> ack Luc 15:21:02 <hook> q+ 15:22:10 <Paolo> hook: interoperability should show that producers and consumers of provenance actually can use the spec to exchange prov 15:22:12 <Zakim> +??P28 15:22:21 <dgarijo> Zakim, ??P28 is me 15:22:21 <Zakim> +dgarijo; got it 15:22:30 <Paolo> hook: the current interpretation of interop does not address that 15:23:04 <Paolo> pgroth: true for CONSTR, however prov DM and prov O do require demonstration of interop according to the exit criteria 15:23:05 <Luc> q+ 15:23:27 <pgroth> ack hook 15:24:12 <Paolo> Luc: are we try to gain evidence for each prov-* individually, or collectively as a whole? 15:24:32 <Paolo> Luc: for example, what does it mean for DM to interop "on its own"? 15:25:06 <Paolo> pgroth: for DM, you do have to go through prov-N or prov-O. the impl. should specify which encoding it supports 15:25:14 <Paolo> pgroth: incl.

This is an issue with the use of UML. To resolve, this issue the group agreed that a modified version of the starting points diagram from prov-o should be used in the primer to avoid confusion 15:50:39 <ivan> issue-509? 15:50:39 <trackbot> ISSUE-509 -- Data Model Figure 5 -- open 15:50:39 <trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/509 15:50:43 <Paolo> pgroth: see issue-509 15:50:55 <Zakim> +??P4 15:51:09 <Luc> q+ 15:51:15 <pgroth> ack Luc 15:52:04 <Paolo> Luc: earlier versions of the docs show capitalized classes, and relationships not capitalized. that led to inconsistencies 15:52:06 <Paolo> Luc 15:52:32 <Paolo> Luc: we addressed by cap "class level" elements and nocap for "instance level" elements 15:52:56 <Paolo> Luc: diff. notations use different styles. in prov-n nothing is cap 15:53:18 <Paolo> Luc: so we will be inconsistent anyway whatever change we make 15:54:35 <Paolo> Luc: in prov-o class derivations are cap, for instance.
