thanks Dan

Larry only recently reviewed document

NoahM:We'll defer worrying about ACTION-257 until progress is made on ACTION-261.

request from Rick Jelliffe that the TAG should be involved in future of XML Schema

NoahM: how much progress can we make?
... if we did get involved, would want Henry and Tim to comment

<DanC> (I couldn't find mail from TimBL on this... oh... guess I missed http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2009/05/14-minutes#item05 ...)

NoahM: there is a link to Rick's clarification of his request in today's agenda. His suggestion, if I understand it, is that the XML Schema spec is not appropriately layered. Thus, the W3C should hold up XSD 1.1 at CR to allow for such a layering to be invented. We need to decide what the TAG's role in this is wrt/ W3C process, and also whether any TAG members advocate our getting involved in this. It is in our charter that Tim has the option to ask us for advice at any point, should he wish to, but that's up to him to initiate.

Ashok: Rick has a very specific recommendation, to either start a working group or, within the working group, to produce a smaller, focused language

NoahM: I would like to know whether any TAG members feel we should undertake work on this.

<jar> LM: How does this issue hold up against potential-issue acceptance criteria?

<LM>: Think about our criteria for taking on TAG work, such as being asked by a working group, etc. ... There is another venue for this discussion. Not clear whom we would influence. I'm not specifically opposing his proposal.

<LM>: I'm remembering our discussion at the last F2F about criteria for undertaking TAG work. I don't think we should do this now, but should explain why.

jar: this is one of those issues where the questions cut across a lot of different WGs in W3C
... XSD does seem like it's worth a look, trying to follow rdf:text, XSD is in the center around OWL, SPARQL and ...., and they don't know where to go

nm: could you clarify how the issues you are relating with rdf:text vs. RickJ's specific proposal

jar: It's my instinct that there ought to be some interaction around this. When a single working group has trouble dealing with this.

<DanC> (the analogy seems to be that both rdf:text and XSD 1.1 comments involve/impact multiple WGs)

ashok: what jar is talking about is specific datatypes, and that we ought to be able to add datatypes. Rick's proposal is almost entirely about Schema Structures, and so is pretty much unrealted to rdf:text.

these things are both important but different

jar:OK

<DanC> (boy it takes a long time to not talk about something. ;-)

<LM>: Can we publish out criteria for work, and point to that as a reason?

<DanC> (are those criteria already written down, LMM?)

yes, point to it

NoahM: I would like to see where we stand, and ask you to choose informally among two options for what to do right now. Noting that nobody here today has been willing to say that the TAG should work on this, but that we are missing two members who may be concerned, should we:
1) Decide now, as Larry suggested, that we have considered Rick's request, have no opinoin on the merits, but are not getting involved (will check with HT and Tim before committing)
- or -
2. Defer until next week

Ashok: in favor of 2

Larry: in favor of 1

DanC can support both

JK: goes for 2

jar: abstain

noah: abstain

<NoahM> JK: want more evidence that there's something we should work on

<DanC> (are you sure you want "more evidence"? I bet what you really want is _less_, John)

<DanC> (i.e. a pointer to one specific thing)

RESOLUTION: leave this for a week, see if any discussion, will come back briefly possibly just to decide whether to take on the issue

F2F agenda

<NoahM> Raman would like to make Web Application State a topic. We should have specific deliverables for F2F.

issue-60?

<trackbot> ISSUE-60 -- Web Application State Management -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/60

<DanC> (where did raman make that suggestion? looking...)

NoahM: I went back and looked at the agenda & minutes to see what have we talked about since last F2F
... I did not survey the mailing list for topics, however.

<DanC> (I lean on http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/agenda for agenda building... looking at it now...)

quote: "I'm thinking the above might serve as the initial content and outline of a finding around versioning and HTML."

from http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009May/0004.html

(discussion about use of tracker, action, and issues, not minuted)

<NoahM> From minutes of last week: noah: Versioning discussion seems wrapped up for now...

<jar> danc, don't all open actions constitute implicit actions, on the "shepherd" (raiser) to drive them to completion?

<DanC> to some extent, yes, an open issue constitute and implicit action, but tracker is tuned for explicit actions (based on experience that that's the way people work)

<DanC> ("raman's request" -- I can't seem to find that; help?)

<trackbot> Created ACTION-270 - Provide additional material for review [on Larry Masinter - due 2009-05-28].
