16:13:55 <swh> One more review since last week
16:14:49 <swh> AlexHall: there's a lot of cleanup in XSD around defn's of lexical and value spaces, and mapping. RDF doesn't say anything about them. Just refers to them. No action needed.
16:14:59 <Zakim> +??P37
16:15:10 <swh> … one change that needs discussion is distinction between identity and equality
16:15:11 <sandro> zakim, who is talking?
16:15:14 <Guus> zakim, who is talking?
16:15:22 <Zakim> sandro, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: Guus (14%), AlexHall (19%), AndyS (13%)
16:15:33 <Zakim> Guus, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: Guus (9%), swh (5%), AlexHall (94%)
16:16:00 <swh> … has implications around entailment - for eg. +0 and -0 are distinct under XSD 1.1, but were equiv under 1.0
16:16:20 <swh> … NaN has implications for SPARQL, but not RDF
16:16:30 <Zakim> -AndyS
16:16:55 <swh> … we might need to write some text in the semantics document to make this clear
16:17:00 <Zakim> +??P24
16:17:04 <AndyS> zakim, P24 is me
16:17:04 <Zakim> sorry, AndyS, I do not recognize a party named 'P24'
16:17:11 <AndyS> zakim, ??P24 is me
16:17:11 <Zakim> +AndyS; got it
16:18:04 <swh> … should probably include duration as well as the datetime etc. datatypes in the types that are good for use with RDF
16:18:17 <swh> Guus: we should raise that as an issue
16:18:29 <swh> AlexHall: there's already an older issue
16:18:44 <AlexHall> http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/track/issues/66
16:19:46 <swh> Guus: should add that review to ISSUE-66
16:20:36 <swh> Turtle
16:20:56 <swh> Guus: things came up this week, from Ivan w.r.t. multiline comments
16:21:20 <swh> gavinc: read through it, not had time to write an email
16:21:35 <swh> … comment that we should do it like python is a problem because python doesn't
16:21:45 <swh> … have multiline comments
16:21:59 <Souri> Souri has joined #rdf-wg
16:22:00 <sandro> ?   CSS has multiline comments.
16:22:05 <swh> … CSS only has single line comments, I don't see it as major problem
16:22:07 <sandro> ???
16:22:16 <Zakim> +Souri
16:22:17 <Zakim> -zwu2
16:22:31 <swh> Danny Ayres had a comment
16:22:47 <danbri> re CSS .... /* I thought it \n did */
16:22:47 <swh> gavinc: yes, CSS does have multiline comments
16:23:13 <swh> … we could do what python does, but seems like a large change
16:23:30 <swh> Guus: ask gavinc or ericP to respond to Danny
16:23:36 <swh> ericP: do we need a descision?
16:23:45 <sandro> http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS1/#comments       "similar to those in the C programming language"
16:23:52 <swh> … we want to keep alignment with SPARQL etc.
16:23:54 <ivan> q+
16:24:22 <gavinc> sandro, Yeah, I have have no idea where my brain was
16:24:32 <swh> ericP: I feel like I have lack of authority
16:24:48 <swh> Guus: might be best to raise an issue
16:24:50 <sandro> Yeah, I think this needs a WG resolution.
16:25:27 <AndyS> ack ivan
16:25:45 <swh> ivan: was a discussion danny raised on swig, not formally raised on this group, Ivan just drew groups attention to it
16:25:58 <Zakim> + +1.603.438.aahh
16:26:21 <zwu2> zakim, +1.603.438.aahh is me
16:26:21 <Zakim> +zwu2; got it
16:26:22 <swh> Guus: I think it would be in the spirit to regard this as a comment
16:26:42 <swh> … ericP and gavinc, please take an action
16:27:01 <swh> ACTION: ericP to repsond to multiline comments comment of Danny Ayres
16:27:01 <trackbot> Created ACTION-142 - Repsond to multiline comments comment of Danny Ayres [on Eric Prud'hommeaux - due 2012-02-15].
16:27:22 <swh> Guus: 2nd issue, raised by Alex, on local name escapes
16:27:48 <swh> AlexHall: one issue is a typo… [noise]
16:28:18 <swh> … double \ was shown as introducing a char escape squence
16:28:30 <swh> … the other I was confused by appearance of % escape encoding in local part
16:28:44 <swh> … want clarification that they're not treated as escapes
16:29:02 <swh> … Andy confirmed for SPARQL, but not Turtle editors
16:29:37 <AlexHall>  rdf:foo%20bar
16:29:38 <swh> ericP: you concern is whether I can say %68 and have it be equivalent to the unencoded version
16:29:51 <gavinc> on comments, Python still doesn't have multi line comments, nor Perl, and Ruby has really really funky multi line comment 
16:29:59 <AndyS> f-o-o-%-2-0-b-a-r
16:30:16 <swh> AlexHall: if I include a % in the localname, is it equiv. to the unescaped version
16:30:23 <swh> ericP: [writing example]
16:30:31 <ericP>  my:foob%61ar == my:foobar ?
16:31:16 <swh> ericP: I believe that the % has to stay in there - can't take %s out and have equivalence
16:31:19 <sandro> I think you mean: my:foob%61r -- my:foobar
16:31:52 <swh> AlexHall: I'm worried that people might thing it gets deescaped
16:32:23 <swh> ericP: ok, we need a bit of text saying you're not intended to unescape during processing
16:32:46 <swh> gavinc: possibly just reference the RFC doc
16:33:08 <Guus> q?
16:33:10 <swh> §5.3.1- simple string comparison
16:35:09 <ericP> ACTION: ericP to propose text to say that %nn is *NOT* unescaped while parsing Turtle
16:35:09 <trackbot> Created ACTION-143 - Propose text to say that %nn is *NOT* unescaped while parsing Turtle [on Eric Prud'hommeaux - due 2012-02-15].
16:35:58 <swh> gavinc: do want to look at publishing a new draft of Turtle soon
16:36:03 <Zakim> - +1.707.318.aagg
16:36:09 <ivan> +1 to gavinc 
16:36:12 <swh> … we have Turtle in HTML, grammar has changed,
16:36:49 <swh> ericP: were there any changes we made without consensus
16:37:01 <swh> Guus: may need formal review if WG wants
16:37:48 <swh> Topic: named graphs
16:37:59 <swh> Guus: want to talk a bit about exchanging data
16:38:14 <swh> … message from AndyS
16:38:32 <AndyS> I don't think we have consensus
16:38:37 <swh> Guus: AndyS, do you think we reached consensus
16:39:09 <swh> AndyS: I brought it up because it was a priority before
16:39:29 <swh> … I think Pat and I are agreed about whether it would be best if we published the smenatics of the 4th column
16:39:42 <swh> … I think we'd like to see it published, but need back compat
16:40:26 <swh> AndyS: if you look at dbpedia they have a 4th col, but I don't know what it means, they're not complying to a published method, but it is a usecase
16:40:53 <swh> Guus: so, you can't use the 4th column as an IRI to fetch the triples
16:40:58 <swh> AndyS: no
16:41:04 <swh> … it's got a hash on the end
16:41:11 <swh> … it's quite profile, and it exists
16:41:11 <MacTed> Zakim, unmute me
16:41:11 <Zakim> MacTed should no longer be muted
16:41:21 <Guus> q?
16:42:11 <swh> Guus: what is the relationship between the 4th col and the triple?
16:42:19 <swh> MacTed: I don't know, trying to get answer
16:43:05 <swh> ACTION: MacTed to investigate what the relationship is, and document it
16:43:05 <trackbot> Created ACTION-144 - Investigate what the relationship is, and document it [on Ted Thibodeau - due 2012-02-15].
16:43:17 <swh> AndyS: the consequence is that quads are not just an internal issues
16:43:24 <swh> ivan: I don't understant
16:43:34 <swh> AndyS: I phrased the usecase as being about TriG
16:43:53 <swh> … it's from the extraction project, not the running service
16:46:08 <swh>  ACTION-144: relationship between 4th col and triple
16:46:08 <trackbot> ACTION-144 Investigate what the relationship is, and document it notes added
16:46:26 <swh> Guus: usecase discussion between sandro and AndyS 
16:46:43 <davidwood> q+ to ask about the details of the use case
16:46:53 <swh> … to illustrate how you go about identifying time-varying gboxes
16:47:01 <davidwood> q-
16:47:07 <swh> … AndyS, sandro, do you think your desgins are the same
16:47:23 <swh> sandro: we're talking about the same pattern
16:47:38 <swh> Guus: that makes it worth exploring in more detail
16:47:50 <swh> … in general I'l like to explore more solution designs and apply to usecase
16:48:07 <Guus> http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/TriG-REST
16:48:40 <swh> Guus: we started exploring sulution designs
16:48:50 <swh> … try to give a natural language explanation of what it means
16:48:58 <swh> … so non RDF geeks can understand
16:49:04 <swh> … started writing down examples
16:49:17 <swh> … my question to WG is, is this kind of approach useful?
16:49:17 <Zakim> -AZ
16:49:33 <AndyS> Useful to explore this pattern
16:49:58 <swh> … in the 3rd usecase sandro has a statement about static graph container, those appear in AndyS's solution too
16:50:07 <swh> … do we want to define that, and if so, in what namespace
16:50:12 <ivan> q+
16:50:17 <swh> no moee namespaces please
16:50:23 <sandro> +1
16:50:26 <swh> Guus: is it useful to look at these designs?
16:50:36 <AndyS> q?
16:50:37 <sandro> +1 on looking at solutions in more detail
16:50:41 <swh> +1
16:50:59 <pchampin> +1
16:51:01 <Zakim> +AZ
16:51:02 <swh> ivan: we certainly have to move on and look at possibilities
16:51:04 <AZ> zakim, mute me
16:51:04 <Zakim> AZ should now be muted
16:51:31 <swh> … what I don't fully understand is that the usecase means the semantics of GET, but does it mean that you would have other semantics?
16:51:49 <swh> Guus: how do we do the page structuring? I thought one page per solution
16:52:07 <swh> … tried to come up with nat lang description of TriG RESR
16:52:14 <swh> s/RESR/REST/
16:52:30 <MacTed> AndyS - do you have a sample fourth-column value from those DBpedia dumps?
16:52:33 <swh> sandro: at a tutorial level the text description is ok
16:52:45 <swh> ivan: I would prefer to see all on one page
16:52:50 <swh> Guus: no problem
16:52:54 <MacTed> (even better, a full row or two from any of those N-quad files)
16:52:55 <sandro> http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/TF-Graphs-Designs
16:53:02 <AndyS> MacTed - the load page has samples IIRC
16:53:12 <swh> sandro: I was doing the same thing
16:53:28 <AndyS> ... not sure if they are representative enough.
16:54:00 <swh> sandro: my impression right now is that most of the group is not following this closely enough to make descisions about it
16:54:26 <swh> Guus: I prefer to see people owning solutions
16:54:47 <swh> sandro: don't want to get too emotionally involved
16:55:07 <ericP> scribenick: ericP 
16:55:08 <Zakim> -swh
16:55:28 <ericP> Guus: happy to write more examples for this solution
16:56:13 <ericP> … i'll try to stay impartial in my defense of this solution
16:56:36 <sandro> http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/TF-Graphs-Designs
16:56:38 <ericP> … and there's the equality use case?
16:57:15 <ericP> sandro: in TF-Graphs-Designs, the first is "trig state" (earlier called "trig rest") (subject of guus's page)
16:57:26 <ericP> … second is "trig equality"
16:57:47 <ericP> Guus: where the lable is a placeholder for the set of triples, instead of pointing to it
16:59:05 <ericP> sandro: 3rd is the n3 style of explicitly naming the relation (scroll down to "graph object")
17:00:48 <ericP> ... "Graph Objects" is triples, where nodes can be graphs
17:01:09 <zwu2> q+
17:01:19 <ivan> q-
17:01:22 <ericP> Guus: could be seen at quints, e.g.:
17:01:23 <danbri> (regarding 'bigger than RDF', I always think of RDF as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland ... and quads as adding an extra dimension...)
17:01:44 <ericP> … eg:s1 eg:p1 eg:o1. eg:g1 rdf:graphState
17:01:52 <yvesr> it is possible to store such things in a quad store (that's how my SWI-Prolog N3 implementation works)
17:02:09 <ericP> sandro: steve argued that there's a problematic computational overhead to this approach
17:03:06 <ericP> … distinction between Graph Objects and Graph Datatypes is that former has graphs in the object position and latter has turtle literals
17:04:41 <sandro> the type of the thing identified by the label.
17:04:41 <pchampin> re 5., I would be more comfortable with something more keywordish, like "@graphLabelRelation rdf:graphState"
17:04:47 <ericP> AndyS: [re: Relation Flag"] i was imagining the the modifier applied to each triple, e.g. eg:s eg:p eg:o. eg:g
17:06:21 <ericP> Guus: in AndyS's Oct mail, he used types like StaticGraphContainer
17:06:38 <ericP> … these are close to Graph Objects
17:07:11 <ericP> sandro: with trig state, there are precise semantics which i think are distinguishable [from andy's mail]
17:07:50 <AndyS> q?
17:07:53 <Guus> q?
17:07:55 <ericP> … calling Andy's proposal "typed @@1"
17:08:28 <ericP> zwu: with graphs as objects, how could you enforce equality?
17:08:57 <ericP> ericP: i.e. have the same extension?
17:09:12 <ericP> zwu: right, owl:sameAs has powerful semantics
17:09:40 <ericP> sandro: hasn't come up in the use cases, but you could say 
17:10:09 <AndyS> """The built-in OWL property owl:sameAs links an individual to an individual."""
17:10:12 <ericP> … ^h^h^h utter some inconsistency which was computationally hard to catch
17:10:28 <Souri> +1 to calling it something else
17:10:53 <sandro> ivan: later, we can say sameas is sameas sameas
17:10:57 <pchampin> sameGraph ?
17:10:58 <ericP> … so if we use owl:sameAs, are we bringing in baggage? happy to use something else
17:11:06 <ericP> … sameGraphAs
17:11:23 <MacTed> -1000 sameGraphAs
17:11:30 <ericP> zwu: triple order and bnodes make it hard
17:11:32 <MacTed> sameGbox maybe
17:11:32 <AndyS> It is expensive to test for equality.  See JJC paper.
17:12:00 <MacTed> (implying also sameGsnap, sameGtext)
17:12:06 <pchampin> @MacTed no, as I get it, the idea is to identify the g-snap here, to the g-box
17:12:44 <gavinc> Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_isomorphism
17:12:49 <sandro> MacTed, how about rdf:isGSnap ?
17:13:01 <ericP> sandro: i think we can factor out that computation because it's not necessary for the use cases
