3. Technical discussions

[Refer to preparatory discussions of 10 May, 26 April]

The main goal of the meeting is to figure out what our big themes are for the coming year or two. Only a few issues and findings will be discussed to save time for the discussion of long-term plans.

3.1. Goals and plans

What is our agenda for the next year and more? What are the main directions? What do we want to achieve by end of 2006? What Rec. track document do we plan to publish? Volume 2 of AWWW vs. revised volume 1.

This discussion will continue during the three days, (re)starting every morning and closing at lunch time or in the afternoon.

Objectives of the meeting:

Set priorities for new directions
Decide about the next major publication and come up with an outline

Background material: new directions as discussed at the 28 Feb F2F, 10 May telcon and listed in Tim's message:

Issues not included in AWWW vol. 1
XML Architecture
Architectural model for Web Services (see Lack of layering in WS)
Existing Web Architecture and Semantic Web Architecture
Web Applications (see Web Applications WG proposal)
More formal description to existing areas
Educational materials (5 Apr. telcon)
Extensibility and versioning (with diagrams and formalisms)
Difference between namespace documents and language definitions -- what formalisms or diagrams are needed

3.2. Issues and findings

Discussion of TAG issues will take place in the afternoon of each day, but will not take the whole afternoon. For each of the following issues the goal is to make progress in the analysis of the issue and to prepare a draft finding or contribute to an existing draft.
