AM: regrets for next week

Approve last week's minutes

NM: We have minutes from last week's call:

<noah> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2011/01/06-minutes

<noah> RESOLVED: the minutes of 6 January 2011 ( http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2011/01/06-minutes ) are approved

AM: I have read the TAG draft status report
... looked ok

NM: After a few days, can I take silence to be assent?

<noah> RESOLVED: Noah to publish status report status report on 17 January if no objections are received in email, will update version of mime-web-info to 02

NM: We need to plan the face-face meeting. Please help in the next 2-3weeks

<Larry> new version of mime-web-info-02

<Larry> the link http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-masinter-mime-web-info will give the "latest"

LM: this should go in the report

Repurposing the Hash Sign for the New Web

<noah> Draft is at: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2010/12/HashInURI-20101231.html

NM: The document seems much improved.
... The title of the finding needs to be rethought as it is not all about fragids.
... It needs to go further to actually give the reader a good sense of which technique to use.

<Zakim> Larry, you wanted to talk about requirements for redefining "#" that I don't see identified

LM: I am looking for some things in the document:
... I'd like to understand how it works for non-HTTP URI schemes.
... Is it only tied to HTTP?
... Also, how does it apply to fragids which are used with not Javascript, but active content?
... Particularly, more than the anaylis of HTTP and HTML -- how much applies to other situations

AM: I would have to think about it
... it isn't obvious.

NM: I did think the thing was funny as a TAG finding, as it mostly says look most of what I am describing here conflicts with the way the web works .. but your conclusion at the end is that [...]
... Not sure what the conclusion is as to whether this stuff is good to do and we should change the specs, or whether it should be discouraged -- in fact you seem to encourage it

AM: There is a section on the non-conformance.

<Larry> there's an analog with the mime-web-info document: identify the problems with current specs and recommend changes to specs so that practice & specs are not in conflict. I'd rather see this as "What has to change" rather than "who to liase with".

NM: Yes, a nice part. Chap 3, "Rec best practices", leaves the implication that one should violate the RFC?

[HST joins the call]

AM: What I was hoping was talk about on the call was Chap 3 vs. the RFC
... since this is delicate

NM: We'll do that next week, OK

LM: I recommend we focus on what specs have to change
... how to get docs and practice into sync

AM: A comment has come in wrt Media Fragment work, which I'll add to the doc
... And also JAR wanted to talk about the RDFa situation
... which likewise we'll add, but I need JAR's help

NM: In Lyon, LM suggested that when we're working over a period of weeks on something, we should make clear exactly what the deliverable we have in view is
... So we need, perhaps at the f2f, to get there wrt this work

<Larry> Note that the draft-masinter-mime-web-info document also talks about fragment identifiers in MIME registrations

<Larry> action-481?

<trackbot> ACTION-481 -- Ashok Malhotra to update client-side state document with help from Raman Due: 2010-11-30 -- due 2010-10-27 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/481

NM: Let's keep using this action, and bump the date

IETF Presentation

LM: I think we're too far away from something of interest
... I was more optimistic in November
... What would interest the IETF is the interaction between WebApps and Security, Privacy, . . ..
... We haven't gotten to that level
... To do organisational framing, more groundwork would be required before I would be ready to talk about this in Prague
... We should have a product, but making it be a presentation is the wrong level
... The product we need is a definition of our relation with IETF, at the level of the relation between WebArch and InternetArch
... We're doing better than in the past in terms of coordination
... But w/o that larger context, driving the conversation up from the bottom with the WebApps topic
... doesn't work

<ht> +1

AM: I'm disappointed, without disagreeing

TBL: When we present TAG work, a T-shaped approach is OK -- broad and narrow, diving in in a few places

<Larry> I think we need a 'product' but the product is a coordination of Web Architecture with Internet Architecture, and starting with Web Applications is OK, but I think the product needs to be larger

TBL: mixtures of levels is OK

<Larry> Perhaps a 12-slide talk of which web applications are the last 6... but need the first 6 too

TBL: In this case, we could use WebApp as a dive-deep example

LM: Yes, but I need the general part too!

NM: Did you (LM) say that introducing the work of the TAG was too high level? Whereas TBL said that was OK if we drilled down in one case?
... I do understand that you think WebApp is not ready yet

<Larry> tag/iab is in the context of W3C/IETF, which is in the context of Web/Internet

NM: So I'm willing to close Larry's short-term actions, and open my action up to a larger goal, but TBL seemed to push back

<Zakim> ht, you wanted to put a different interp. on LM's point

<Larry> Product is how we coordinate WebApps in TAG and "WebAPps in IAB" in the context of TAG and IAB in the context of W3C and IETF which is the context of Web and Internet.

HT: I heard Larry differently. I think he took the goal of the presentation to be: engage the audience in joint work going forward. Without a degree of background having been established for divying, he wasn't ready to do that.
... I didn't hear that he was unhappy with "introduce the TAG", which was Noah's proposal.

NM: Nope, it was what Noah heard of Tim's proposal

LM: There are many levels at which we could approach the interaction question
... All the way 'down' from InternetArch vs. WebArch
... through both organisational and technical divisions
... to WebApps as a specific topic
... Thinking about talking about WebApps as such w/o getting that set of levels at least a bit clearer doesn't feel right

NM: What next?

LM: Your action (ACTION-499) enlarged to look at the InternetArch and WebArch makes sense to me, and I'll help with that
... ... and suspend ACTION-497 and ACTION-500

NM: If that means no presentation in Prague, we need to tell Alexei that

LM: I will tell him
... ... by next week

NM: We could focus on this at the f2f, maybe turn the corner?

LM: We could invite the relevant app area directors to call in to the f2f?

NM: OK
... OK, we'll work together on a new, shinier 499
... you will bump 500 and talk to Alexei
... and we'll review the situation at the f2f

<noah> close ACTION-497

<trackbot> ACTION-497 Prepare us for a teleconference with IETF-IAB on possible prague IETF presentation. closed

AOB

LM: I have started pushing the TDB and DURI documents again, and this has stimulated some discussion

<Larry> http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-masinter-dated-uri

NM: Do you want TAG involvement in this?

LM: Asking if it's important for TAG to do

LM: It's a stable document now

HT: Unless the F2F schedule gets really full, I think this is worth one session.

NM: How would you scope the session?

HST: It's related to persistence
... and the health of the web

<Zakim> ht, you wanted to ask for a report from TBL to be scheduled at some point

HST: I wanted to ask TBL to report, informally and at his convenience, on the progress of the XML-HTML initiative

NM: I have in fact invited Norm Walsh to join us at the f2f, for just such a purpose, as he is chairing the group

LM: RDFa is being rechartered

LM: and since architecture recapitulates organizational structure
... should the new RDFa charter be broadened to cover metadata on the web?
... i.e. other kinds of embedded metadata

<Larry> should RDFa charter include more about scope of media annotations, microdata, etc.

<noah> Hmm. Seems that giving it such a broad remit could be a recipe for nothing getting done.

<Larry> what is the API for accessing metadata, and more general

TBL: A related issue has arisen, which is the RDFa WG is planning (?) to work on an RDFa API, and that might or might not be subsumed by/related to an RDF API

<noah> ACTION-282?

<trackbot> ACTION-282 -- Jonathan Rees to draft a finding on metadata architecture. -- due 2011-04-01 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/282

TBL: so the question of where that happens, and who drives it, as well as the technical question of the nature of the relation between the two (if there are two) APIs, probably need to be clarified before the charter is baked

LM: I have another concern wrt registries, which I'll bring up on email

LM: in the area of preferring URIs to registries, but there are still a lot of registries at IANA, and people are not happy with them
... Maybe worth framing as a TAG topic

NM: We could have this as a f2f topic if you could help frame it.

<noah> ACTION: Larry to send email framing TAG work on registries [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2011/01/13-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-511 - Send email framing TAG work on registries [on Larry Masinter - due 2011-01-20].
