15:19:33 <smiles> MacTed: express examples in terms of real world things, as expiry and change over time unclear with current examples

15:19:57 <Zakim> MacTed should now be muted
15:20:14 <smiles> Luc: three proposals circulated, second and third had support
15:20:56 <smiles> ... first did not have consensus, cannot be adopted, so will try to change and discuss
15:21:11 <GK> q+ to say I think a concrete example for wanting prop 1 would help
15:21:21 <smiles> ... can incorporate second, third proposal in editors draft, can raise issues against in tracker in usual way
15:21:27 <Luc> ack mac
15:21:46 <smiles> GK: First proposal needs motivating example
15:21:57 <GK> ack gk

15:22:21 <dgarijo> +q
15:22:21 <GK> I'm hearing, but see chat if you can't hear me
15:22:32 <Luc> we can't hear you
15:22:44 <smiles> GK: <some random sounds>
15:22:50 <GK> Yes
15:23:03 <GK> Well, that was it -- a concrete example that shows...
15:23:14 <GK> ... why it's useful to have entioty expiration.
15:23:28 <smiles> Luc: Are examples in proposal not satisfactory?
15:23:31 <GK> I didn't find them compelling ... need to rechack.
15:23:51 <Luc> ACCEPTED: to rename wasStartedBy(activity,activity) in wasStartedByActivity(activity,activity) 
15:23:54 <Zakim> -GK
15:24:06 <Luc> AcceptED: to formulate start and end of activities independently of responsibility and agents. Hence, start and end of activity would no longer be a form of activity association. Instead of an agent, an optional entity trigger would be allowed.

15:26:59 <Zakim> +??P62
15:27:10 <GK> To follow up my previous comment, the examples given explain what might trigger an expiration assertion, but do not explain why this is useful or needed for provenance (i.e. assertions about things that have happened - if the provenance is asserted, then presumably referenced entities existed at that time - if they disappeared later, is that really something we need to know?)

15:29:34 <smiles> ... Collections is work in progress, tried to accommodate open issues and agreed with Stian what to include, final iterations with proposed version in above link
15:30:13 <smiles> ... primitive relations regarding insertion, deletion; data types for collections; additional relations to simplify expressions with multiple key-value pairs

15:31:05 <smiles> ... Agents in association: proposed new formulation for wasAssociatedWith; plan to open for discussion; if no controversy will be in next draft

15:31:53 <smiles> Luc: For all edits, discussed issues with people, will now include in WD and notify WG when done
15:32:20 <Luc> q?
15:32:25 <smiles> ... still to address feedback on WD4 to incorporate in document, go through remaining issues; revision by end of the month
15:32:28 <smiles> q+
15:33:00 <smiles> smiles: What is controversial, under development?
15:33:23 <smiles> Luc: Once collections issues addressed, only presentational issues remain, so stable model
15:33:40 <smiles> ... Proposal 1 above is still controversial: expiry
15:33:45 <Luc> q?
15:33:50 <Luc> ack sm
15:34:08 <smiles> Paolo: Agreed, everything before expiry proposal, everything settling down
15:34:35 <smiles> ... Not everything in collections draft is uncontroversial but getting there
15:34:42 <khalidbelhajjame> @smiles,  do you intend to speak about collections in the primer?
15:35:08 <Luc> q?
15:35:27 <smiles> ... New pieces in BNF for optional arguments, impact on PROVN examples
15:35:33 <Luc> q?
15:37:22 <Luc> q?
15:37:28 <smiles> Paolo: should be pedagogical text on collections in primer
15:37:47 <Luc> q?
15:38:14 <smiles> Luc: Finished agenda, but useful to discuss expiry
15:38:33 <MacTed> Zakim, unmute me
15:38:33 <Zakim> MacTed was not muted, MacTed
15:39:23 <GK> I can hear OK, but not speak
15:39:34 <GK> To follow up my previous comment, the examples given explain what might trigger an expiration assertion, but do not explain why this is useful or needed for provenance (i.e. assertions about things that have happened - if the provenance is asserted, then presumably referenced entities existed at that time - if they disappeared later, is that really something we need to know?)
15:40:01 <khalidbelhajjame> Is the objection against the example or the notion of expiration?
15:40:18 <smiles> MacTed: An entity may be referred to after being destroyed
15:40:36 <Paolo> q?
15:40:41 <smiles> ... what do we mean here?
15:40:43 <tlebo> unbroken eggs and unchewed gum!
15:40:45 <Curt> "invalid" = no longer can be 'used' by an activity
15:40:47 <GK> The notion.  In my case, I'm not seeing why it's useful for provenance.  Use-case?
15:41:04 <GK> I'm not opposing it, just not supporting it.
15:41:09 <GK> Why do we care?
15:41:09 <Paolo> q+
15:41:35 <jcheney> q+
15:42:22 <smiles> ... Table example (logs to table, table broken up and burnt); in contrast, resolution on web gets latest revision, so not really identifying one entity
15:42:50 <tlebo> Let the web people deal with the web problems, not the provenance people. "not able to be used again" is a useful notion (eggs and gum)
15:43:01 <Luc> q?
15:43:03 <Luc> ack pao
15:43:28 <MacTed> Zakim, who's noisy?
15:43:38 <Zakim> MacTed, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: [IPcaller] (55%), Paolo (85%), MacTed (24%)
15:43:47 <MacTed> Zakim, mute [IPcaller]
15:43:47 <Zakim> [IPcaller] should now be muted
15:44:13 <MacTed> I don't know who [IPcaller] is ... but hopefully they can unmute themselves when they figure it out
15:45:17 <smiles> Paolo: Want to demarcate lifetime of entity, existence to non-existence (becomes another entity), but can refer to forever
15:45:17 <Luc> q?
15:45:20 <Curt> The examples *don't* discuss things that are 'destroyed', just things that are no longer accessible/available.
15:45:27 <tlebo> having the symmetric to "Generated" seems to be rather nice.
15:45:29 <GK> So what does the entity URI identify when the entity ceases to exist?
15:45:29 <smiles> ... Nothing to do with real thing getting destroyed
15:46:25 <smiles> jcheney: Important to distinguish entity which is information valid during a time interval from thing described by that information which can be created, destroyed
15:47:02 <smiles> ... start and end of both are valid to talk about
15:47:22 <khalidbelhajjame> The entity is invalidated not when the thing is distroyed, but when it the entity is no longer reflect the thing it represents.
15:47:29 <smiles> MacTed: An entity is a thing which is described, not the description
15:47:29 <Paolo> +
15:47:39 <Luc> q?
15:47:40 <Paolo> q+
15:47:53 <smiles> Luc: Description holds or not
15:47:58 <GK> If there's any meaning here, I think its to do with validity of statements *about* the entity.
15:49:22 <smiles> jcheney: Lack of entity expiry in semantics not difficult in itself, but awkward if want to say "table stopped being in room on Wednesday"
15:49:28 <Luc> q?
15:49:28 <Curt> If the characterization of an entity includes the attribute that it be available through a URL, then when that URL no longer refers to that content, then entity is 'destroyed'.
15:49:41 <Paolo> q?
15:49:51 <jcheney> q-
15:49:59 <smiles> MacTed: Entity is the thing not the desciption of the thing
15:50:03 <GK> I suppose it might be seen as implying a contextual constraint on statements like "entity dc:creator Foo"?
15:50:33 <smiles> Luc: Agree with GK that it is about validity of statements about the entity
15:50:39 <Curt> an entity is a set of attributes that characterize something  When one of those attributes changes (any of them), you are talking about a different entity.
15:51:02 <Paolo> I am going by this definition: http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/FormalSemanticsStrawman#Entities
15:51:13 <tlebo> @macted, yes.
15:51:13 <Luc> q?
15:51:50 <Luc> ack paol
15:51:51 <GK> If we think of provenance in terms of entities interacting with processes, then the points at which provenance applies are exactly when those interactions occur?
15:52:06 <smiles> Paolo: Should follow definitions in strawman formal semantics
15:52:46 <smiles> ... If no compelling reason to have concept, then more trouble than its worth
15:53:31 <GK> ... or in spans delimited by those interactions?
15:53:38 <jcheney> Current version is at http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/FormalSemanticsWD3#Entities
15:54:04 <smiles> MacTed: An entity has internal integrity solidified by attributes which are immutable, depending on timeslice
15:54:37 <smiles> ... e.g. a table is an entity which is a timeslice of the wood comprising it
15:55:01 <Luc> q?
15:55:04 <GK> I *would* see some point if there were an action that "expired" an entity.
15:55:05 <khalidbelhajjame> q+
15:55:09 <jcheney> @MacTed, please raise issues against semantics if what is there is unclear or could be improved
15:55:20 <smiles> Luc: Do not want unbounded discussion, so need prepration, proposals
15:55:35 <GK> The problem is I don't oppose this idea, just don't support it :)
15:55:43 <Luc> q?
15:56:13 <smiles> Luc: Can MacTed, others formulate notion of end of lifetime in your terms?
15:56:26 <khalidbelhajjame> -q
15:56:32 <Paolo> q+
15:57:00 <GK> I think the onus is on those who think the concept is useful to come up with compelling examples.
15:57:20 <GK> They didn't compel me.
15:57:29 <Luc> q?
15:57:29 <khalidbelhajjame> +q
15:57:30 <Curt> I agree - they are not compelling
15:57:41 <Luc> ack kh
15:57:54 <GK> ... the examples given explain what might trigger an expiration assertion, but do not explain why this is useful or needed for provenance (i.e. assertions about things that have happened - if the provenance is asserted, then presumably referenced entities existed at that time - if they disappeared later, is that really something we need to know?)
15:58:21 <smiles> khalid: Do we need notion of destroy/expire in any application?
15:58:40 <MacTed> if a Great Master's painting (original canvas) is burned in a museum fire, this is important knowledge when it apparently surfaces later at auction...
15:58:48 <Curt> I've got to go, but I'll think about this some more...
15:58:52 <Luc> q?
