[11:22] <DanC_desk> SteveN summarizes the meeting in swindon...
[11:24] <emiller_> Open Issue: discusison of topicmap facets
[11:24] <DanC_desk> MichelB: we decided to relax any constraints that come only from the ISO model... 
   to figure out the right thing technically.
[11:24] <emiller_> and how it relates to rdf?
[11:26] <emiller_> srn: all of the self documenting feasures of topicmap were compared to rdf's notion of reification
[11:26] <DanC_desk> I copied the examples from EricF's message of Mon, 23 Oct 2000 09:02:08 -0500 to http://208.190.202.42/~connolly/2000/10-irc/rdf2xtm.txt
[11:26] <emiller_> thanks danc!
[11:27] <emiller_> srn: reification was talked about reification a lot at the swindon meeing
[11:27] <DanC_desk> SteveN: we talked about the reification mechanism from RDF.

[11:29] <DanC> -> http://www.w3.org/2000/10/10-topicmap-rdf previous topicmap/rdf meeting of 10 Oct
[11:30] <E-Freese> The less-thans need to be made into entities in my example for it to be viewable in a browser.
[11:31] <DanC> EricF, your software is broken.
[11:33] <DanC> SteveN refers to section " PUBLIC SUBJECT IDENTIFIERS/DESCRIPTORS" section of draft minutes in his message of Mon, 23 Oct 2000 09:27:46 -0500
[11:34] <DanC> DanC contributes example: numbers versus numerals.
[11:34] <DanC> SteveN: yeah... numbers:numerals is like subjects:topics
[11:35] <DanC> ... "public subject" is a misnomer; what you can do is publicly give an identifier for a subject
[11:36] <DanC> ... you can also provide a public subject descriptor, and give a pointer to that; the pointer is called a [oops... missed it]
[11:53] <DanC> EricM: 3 points: (1) naming policies, (2) naming mechanisms, (3) descriptions
<Ralph> DanC: the "Web" is the community of people who believe that http://www.w3.org/ is the home page of the W3C
<Ralph> ... when you pick a name, you get to say what it means
[12:02] <emiller_> This is part of what goes into #1: naming policy
[12:41] <DanC> [we didn't take very good notes today at all.]
