Must keep strings. 15:18:08 ... thought we agreed to eliminate escapes from prefix names to align with SPARQL 15:18:33 andy: unicode numeric escapes allowed in IRIs, strings, local part of prefix names in SPARQL 15:19:03 pfps has joined #rdf-wg 15:19:06 q? 15:19:35 ... they are needed in IRIs and strings to account for N-Triples 15:19:43 ack AlexHall 15:20:27 AlexHall: I thought the original disagreement was to allow numeric escapes in prefix names. I thought we agreed not to do that, but allow the reserved char escapes. 15:21:41 As of today's grammar update \u is not permitted in SPARQL local names. 15:21:52 AlexHall: I thought we'd agreed that numeric escapes should not be allowed in local names 15:22:42 andy: preference is to allow numeric escapes in IRIs and strings for SPARQL 15:22:54 PROPOSAL: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/rdf-turtle/index.html#sec-escapes should be reflected in the grammar 15:23:54 sandro: are qnames/prefixed names allowed in n-triples? 15:24:21 gavin: no, they are not, but part of the grammar is in there as bnode labels 15:24:59 ... use cases for having numeric escapes in IRI/string literals is to support people with ASCII-only editors 15:25:30 ... and to support existing documents to be used unchanged 15:26:35 I'm surprised to see \\ is not a reserved character escape sequence. 15:26:52 PatH has joined #rdf-wg 15:27:10 Apologies for lateness, dialling in ASAP. 15:27:32 alexhall: the turtle grammar does not match the sparql grammar for prefixed names 15:27:37 PatH, no worries, we just talking about character escaping in Turtle at the moment. 15:28:10 Oh then I might just go back to bed... 15:28:28 +0 either way is fine with me 15:28:32 guus: think we've talked enough about this, can we go ahead and make a proposal? 15:28:40 PROPOSAL: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/rdf-turtle/index.html#sec-escapes should be reflected in the grammar.

15:54:43 sound ok now 15:55:19 ... in the 3 cases, particularly case 2 where dataset has time of context 15:55:52 ... my reply was that this is orthogonal to case 3. is this correct? 15:55:57 Zakim, ??P38 is me 15:55:57 +yvesr; got it 15:56:43 pat: they can't coexist casually. if you think of the 4th column IRI as a label in a graph store, in case 3 the IRI denotes the graph, in case 2 the IRI denotes the context 15:57:28 i forgive you already 15:57:30 guus: other questions about this? 15:57:47 ... if not, would like to give pat the floor to discuss latest message 15:58:13 Pat's last long email: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-wg/2012Mar/0086.html 15:58:40 pat: the latest email was a sort of epiphany about this whole thing -- whether the scope of IRI labels should be local to a graph or global to the web, etc. 15:59:00 ... both sides seem blindingly obvious to their proponents 15:59:22 ... think of RDF as have always been a context logic all along, where the context was implicit 15:59:40 ... i.e. there was a global RDF context but we never actually acknowledged it 15:59:57 q+ 16:00:25 ... suggest that we make this explicit in RDF, with the assumption that if a context is not explicitly named it's assumed to be the global RDF context 16:00:44 ... allows authors to fix their data in a hierarchy of contexts 16:01:02 ... this suits the cyc approach, which has been doing this for a while 16:01:14 I like the idea of importing another context 16:01:29 ... also works well with owl:imports, sort of importing another context 16:02:02 ... can add this machinery to RDF by modifying the semantics and syntax, with datasets as the syntax 16:02:21 ... allow people to grow this global network of contexts 16:02:54 ... supports andy's notion of islands and allows people to explicitly link their islands to participate in other contexts 16:03:12 q+ 16:03:13 ... seems to give us a good story to tell on how it all links together 16:03:28 ... and is an extension of the current RDF, not a modification of it 16:04:26 az: pat, you say we could integrate in RDF semantics the notion of context. couldn't we just keep RDF as it is, a context-less logic & data model, and define another contextual data model 16:04:52 ... people would explicitly opt into it if they don't want the context-less RDF 16:05:13 q? 16:05:32 pat: yes, we could do that. would like to give people a way to publish data in a context and provide the machinery for people to explicitly declare their context 16:05:55 ... could certainly be done in two layers as you say 16:06:38 az: if it's all one layer and you publish something in a context, don't you run into issues of contexts of contexts, quints, etc? 16:06:52 pat: had the same worry, but there's a way to stop that from happening. 16:07:34 ack AZ 16:08:01 guus: if i look at your trig, everything except the first line is the same as what others have suggested 16:08:12 ... but what's the point of the rdf:DatasetMeta in the first line? 16:08:14 ack Guus 16:09:06 pat: the IRI identifies a context. an IRI can both name something but also reference a context. 16:09:37 did he just say "meta context"?? 16:09:37 +EricP 16:09:38 ... rdf:DatasetMeta is a special IRI that allows us to denote the actual context, and refer to it in other places as the actual context 16:09:48 this makes sense to me 16:10:27 ... addresses the issue where people want to use the 4th column as a context but have it denote something else (a person, etc) 16:10:43 sandro: so far this sounds encouraging. a lot more details to work out. 16:11:03 guus: yes, many more details. would like to work out some examples. 16:11:42 sandro: the term that you use for importing something, is this actually asserting something to be true? 16:12:07 ... can you use this to make statements about the truth of the stuff in a context? 16:12:09 consistent 16:12:12 ? 16:12:19 compatible contexts? 16:12:34 pat: i think of this more as an endorsement or agreement. 16:13:08 re: meta context, I hope we're only talking about one level of context 16:13:23 ... phrasing it in terms of absolute truth is a bit misleading. seems like you want to claim that something is globally true, which seems counter to the point of all this 16:13:42 q?\ 16:13:49 sandro: but if i'm in a context and i say something is true, the truth of that can't be any stronger than my own context 16:14:11 pat: exactly. we want to avoid the perception that we're trying to state something as globally true. 16:14:54 sandro: what about the school of thought that if you're using a URI, you're accepting the document named by that URI? is that OK to do here? 16:15:27 pat: I'm aware of that convention. but it often doesn't work. you could think of it as an implicit version of what i'm trying to make explicit here. 16:16:05 ... you could encourage as good practice that if you use a URI, you're accepting as true the contexts mentioned by that document. 16:16:35 guus: at the end of the telecon time. would like to see more email conversation on this, especially about how it relates to the example use cases. 16:17:03 -MacTed 16:17:24 bye 16:17:28 -SteveH 16:17:29 ... adjourned. 16:17:29 -ScottB 16:17:31 -zwu2 16:17:36 -PatH 16:17:38 -yvesr 16:17:38 -sandro 16:17:39 -Arnaud 16:17:42 -AZ 16:17:43 -AlexHall 16:17:45 -cgreer 16:17:45 -??P5 16:17:59 -Guus 16:18:07 RRSAgent, draft minutes 16:18:07 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2012/03/14-rdf-wg-minutes.html AlexHall 16:18:19 RRSAgent, make logs public 16:18:31 -NickH 16:20:30 Arnaud, "meta context" is a copntext for using RDF as a metalanguage (using a deviant convention for IRI meanings) not something meta of contexts themselves. 16:21:11 ok, thanks 16:21:20 err - SPARQL has lots of keywords 16:21:36 isBlank(..) for example. 16:22:08 Yes - seems I am muted by software bug 16:22:55 yES 16:23:05 (accident) 16:23:33 -LeeF 16:23:41 "1"^^xsd:boolean 16:23:55 :-) 16:23:58 SteveH has joined #rdf-wg 16:24:18 When do I need to review by?
