- fvh: starting from proposal from 19 Mar 2002 (first proposal for OWL)
- 07:55:35 [JosD]
- Frank's presentation is at http://www.cs.vu.nl/~frankh/spool/FOWL-proposal.pdf
- 07:55:39 [nmg]
- thanks

- jjc: is the difference between primitive and defined classes understandable by users?
- 08:00:18 [nmg]
- guus: we dropped 'primitive' from PrimitiveClass in our use (understandable to OO peopole)
- 08:01:40 [nmg]
- fvh: difference is buried in DAML+OIL (PrimitiveClass == subClassOf, DefinedClass == sameClassAs)
- 08:04:32 [DavidTras]
- DavidTras has joined #webont
- 08:05:36 [nmg]
- fvh: or, PrimitiveClass == sufficient, DefinedClass == necessary and sufficient
- 08:05:38 [GuusS]
- ISSUE: is "defined-class" core or advanced feature
- 08:09:26 [nmg]
- jhendler: why is multiple-valued the default for slots (and not single-valued, as in other languages)
- 08:10:03 [nmg]
- fvh: single-valued is a tighter constraint, looser (multiple) taken as default.
- 08:10:43 [nmg]
- ISSUE: default cardinality for slots (single/multi)
- 08:13:16 [nmg]
- fvh: (answering question from PatH) Enumerated Class is necessary and sufficient definition
- 08:14:13 [nmg]
- guus: EnumeratedClasses may also have slots (cf. Mozart opera example from UML/OWL document)
- 08:15:43 [nmg]
- http://www.swi.psy.uva.nl/usr/Schreiber/docs/owl-uml/owl-uml.html
- 08:15:57 [nmg]
- fvh: EnumeratedClass is also closed defn
- 08:17:41 [nmg]
- fvh: also, no need to define (individuals) before first use - EnumeratedClass defines individuals in extension of class
- 08:18:15 [nmg]
- ISSUE: global and local ranges (mike dean)
- 08:18:36 [nmg]
- mdean: perhaps we could do away with global ranges?
- 08:19:54 [nmg]
- fvh: TransitiveProperty is global defn
- 08:22:28 [nmg]
- pfps: (datatyping) DAML+OIL does not explicitly specify type of a literal value
- 08:23:33 [nmg]
- PatH: rdf-core approach to datatypes involves (is likely to involve?) bNodes with datatype properties (xsd:integer, eg)
- 08:24:05 [nmg]
- ISSUE: datatyping
- 08:25:56 [nmg]
- mdean: syntax for individual only takes one class name
- 08:26:07 [nmg]
- fvh/pfps: compatability with RDF syntax
- 08:26:14 [jhendler]
- issue - if same thing is class and instance, what does that imply
- 08:28:17 [nmg]
- guus: problem with datatype values - often need to know/specify units of measurement
- 08:28:37 [nmg]
- fvh: complex datatype, or anonymous individual
- 08:28:57 [nmg]
- guus: need to show realistic examples for this
- 08:30:13 [jjc]
- Jim: "I am not doing this" - I observe this is necessarily the liar paradox
- 08:30:58 [jhendler]
- jjc - show it to me in RDFS :->
- 08:32:23 [jjc]
- <#Jim> <doing> _:x .
- 08:32:25 [nmg]
- fvh: equalities and inequalities of classes, properties and individuals are in FOWL core
- 08:32:41 [jjc]
- No I give up
- 08:34:38 [nmg]
- jimh: equivalentTo (super of above three relations) often useful in ontology mapping - mapping classes to instances, eg
- 08:35:59 [nmg]
- ISSUE: equivalentTo (class<->instance, etc)
- 08:37:08 [nmg]
- fvh: Full FOWL
- 08:39:02 [nmg]
- fvh: qualified cardinality (from DAML+OIL) not in FOWL
- 08:41:30 [nmg]
- Full FOWL as super-production of Core FOWL?
- 08:46:23 [nmg]
- jimh: (on relation between Full and Core), some equivalent constructs appear in different ways (single/multivalue slots vs. min/max cardinality). no clear rationale behind this
- 08:46:55 [nmg]
- ISSUE: relation between equivalent constructs in Full FOWL and Core FOWL
- 08:53:28 [nmg]
- fvh: (comparison with DAML+OIL) inverseOf not in FOWL
- 08:54:03 [nmg]
- pfps: removal of inverseOf was on the basis of complexity of inference
- 08:55:46 [nmg]
- fvh: further issues raised on email (summarised in http://www.cs.vu.nl/~frankh/spool/OWL-first-proposal/frame.html)

- *** session starts
- 09:31:53 [nmg]
- *** 11.00-12.30 DAML+OIL comparison, preliminary decision on core features, initial language issue list
- 09:32:41 [nmg]
- jimh: core should be defined as language features, not syntax
- 09:35:27 [mdean]
- Peter, etc.: What's a DatatypeRestriction? I couldn't find it in daml+oil.daml
- 09:37:35 [nmg]
- jimh: compare FOWL Core proposal to DAML+OIL (Mar 2001 - http://www.w3.org/TR/daml+oil-reference)
- 09:40:26 [jono]
- jono has joined #webont
- 09:45:30 [nmg]
- jimh: triage language features into 'do it the way daml does' or 'discuss further'
- 09:46:40 [nmg]
- POLL: cardinality (B - some objections, majority in favour)
- 09:47:32 [nmg]
- POLL: cardinalityQ (minority in favour)
- 09:48:36 [nmg]
- POLL: class (A - in favour)
- 09:51:09 [nmg]
- POLL: complementOf (B)
- 09:52:25 [nmg]
- jimh: poll is for FOWL as a whole (not ness just Core)
- 09:52:53 [nmg]
- jjc: concentrate only on Core at this stage, leave Full for later?
- 09:53:11 [nmg]
- sbuswell: make assumption that there are two languages...
- 09:55:40 [nmg]
- jimh: proposal: next WD will be Core language (features, syntax, etc), further progression to Full depends on schedule
- 09:57:01 [nmg]
- sbuswell: not Core, but earlier version
- 09:57:10 [nmg]
- fvh: *contents* correspond to Core
- 09:58:32 [nmg]
- sbuswell/jjc: would change previous votes if this proposal were adopted.
- 10:07:23 [nmg]
- dtrastour: subtractive rather than additive approach to deciding language features (start with DAML+OIL, pick elements to remove)
- 10:07:58 [nmg]
- fvh: reinvention of wheel? language proposal for FOWL Core/Full does much of this work
- 10:08:19 [nmg]
- jjc: agree, HP ontologists would prefer to start from co
- 10:08:34 [nmg]
- ianh: disagree, one language starting from full
- 10:09:53 [nmg]
- jimh: three options: start from fowl core, start from fowl full, start from daml+oil
- 10:10:25 [nmg]
- path: other option raised by deborah mcguinness, start from smaller language than core
- 10:10:41 [nmg]
- jimh: minimal start from rdfs
- 10:12:04 [nmg]
- STRAW POLL: choice between above options
- 10:14:18 [nmg]
- RESULT: start from RDFS (2), start from core (10), start from full (9), start from daml+oil (2)
- 10:14:38 [nmg]
- RESULT (after removing RDDFS/daml+oil): start from core (14), start from full (10)
- 10:20:47 [nmg]
- RESULT (after adding cardinality to core): start from core (13), start from full (10)
- 10:21:39 [nmg]
- guus: other approach, take all constructs from full but only allow named classes
- 10:28:41 [nmg]
- path: why named classes in core, class expressions in full
- 10:29:34 [nmg]
- fvh: class expressions (slot restrictions, etc) not a natural way of thinking for most users and also raises issues with tool support (representation in UI?) and roundtripping
- 10:29:54 [jhendler]
- jhendler has joined #webont
- 10:33:52 [nmg]
- jjc: define URI prefix in spec for defn of unnamed class names (locally scoped names?)
- 10:34:19 [nmg]
- path: cf. skolemfunctions in KIF
- 10:36:00 [nmg]
- enrico: unnamed classes comparatively rare
- 10:38:01 [nmg]
- STRAW POLL: full functionality for named classes vs full functionality
- 10:39:00 [nmg]
- rklein: appeal of core language was that inference in core language was easier than in full language
- 10:39:43 [nmg]
- ianh: not the case - equivalent complexity
- 10:41:26 [nmg]
- RESULT: full for named class (14), full (0)
- 10:41:49 [nmg]
- sorry, full for named classes (14), full (9)
- 10:47:06 [nmg]
- [scattered comments hard to scribe]
- 10:47:44 [nmg]
- ianh: difference between two proposals now very small, basically unnamed classes (agreement from enrico)
- 10:48:51 [nmg]
- jimh: need to distinguish proposals in different manner to achive consensus
- 10:49:04 [nmg]

- JimH - I will be strict about departures from D+O
- 14:17:00 [jjcscribe]
- The full language needs to be close to D+O or we will never finish
- 14:17:13 [jjcscribe]
- Issue list must be manageable size
- 14:18:20 [jjcscribe]
- We must take seriously that we start from an existing thing
- 14:19:29 [jjcscribe]

- JimH: most implementors of D+O are implementing their own subsets
- 14:25:03 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: many people say some lighter version should be available
- 14:27:28 [jjcscribe]
- Jeremy: I am unhappy since we seem to be starting at D+O not full
- 14:27:56 [jjcscribe]
- JimH: the full version allows you to scatter information
- 14:31:25 [jjcscribe]
- Enrico: I thought there were going to be semantic differentces between D+O and OWL

- Objectives + Requirements satsisfactoin?
- 14:36:17 [jjcscribe]
- Frank: most objectives not, nohopers
- 14:36:53 [jjcscribe]
- Most requirements met by split - boolean combinations point of contention
- 14:38:08 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: Proposal: do both 1 and 2, and see them as separate requirement levels
- 14:38:25 [jjcscribe]
- ^requirements^conformance
- 14:39:32 [jjcscribe]
- Ian: I disagree, its two different languages
- 14:40:40 [jjcscribe]
- Pat: it is not two language, JimH: it is a proper subset
- 14:41:04 [jjcscribe]
- Ora: I don'tlike subsetting, but defining a subset controls a process that will happen anyway
- 14:42:07 [jjcscribe]

- Deb: yes very well
- 14:55:01 [heflin]
- Hi, I can't join the telecon because I have office hours right now,
- 14:55:15 [jjcscribe]
- OK - thanks
- 14:55:17 [heflin]
- but I'll watch the chat periodically
- 14:55:37 [jhendler]
- that is okay Jeff, you wouldn't hear it anyway (phone problems) - but we are about to attack the RDF v. XML issue

- 14:56:35 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: telecon is about syntax
- 14:56:49 [jjcscribe]
- Guss whispers "I am not talking loud enough"
- 14:57:29 [jjcscribe]
- Deb: I heard Jim asking if we can hear Guus - I couldn't hear Guus
- 14:58:53 [jjcscribe]
- Pat: yelling is embarrasing for some of us, myself excluded
- 14:59:09 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: two competing viewpoints
- 14:59:19 [jjcscribe]
- 1: based on RDF/XML syntax
- 14:59:29 [jjcscribe]
- (charter, political)
- 15:00:26 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: I am not the person who shouts
- 15:00:36 [jjcscribe]
- Pat takes over shouting
- 15:00:53 [jjcscribe]
- Pat: can you hear me
- 15:00:58 [jjcscribe]
- Larry: yes fine
- 15:01:52 [jjcscribe]
- 2: a new syntax
- 15:02:05 [jjcscribe]
- compliance in favour of 1
- 15:02:12 [jjcscribe]
- for 2 (against 1)
- 15:02:20 [jjcscribe]
- expressability and ease of presentation
- 15:02:55 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: option 2 makes life very hard for 2
- 15:03:25 [jjcscribe]
- Option 2 needs a lot of justifying arguments
- 15:03:44 [jjcscribe]
- Larry I am neutral
- 15:05:14 [jhendler]
- Jeremy - many ways to be "RDF/XML compliant" -- like CC/PP and others, RDF syntax is used, but not total of RDF
- 15:06:05 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: option of lcosed list is now on RDF cores issue lsit
- 15:06:53 [jjcscribe]
- PatH: we assume that RDF core will provide terminated lists
- 15:08:10 [jjcscribe]
- Deb: I thought we had bought into building on RDF
- 15:08:17 [DanC]
- the main reason for using RDF/XML syntax is the partial understanding bit, i thnk.
- 15:08:27 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: from outside RDF schema looks like compliance level 0
- 15:08:55 [DeborahMc]
- DeborahMc has joined #webont
- 15:09:37 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: hence we should conform to RDF syntax
- 15:10:39 [jjcscribe]
- Frank: technically I don't like it, but politically I can go with
- 15:11:11 [jjcscribe]
- Ora: no one thinks RDF syntax is nice (jiomh matters disagreememt)
- 15:11:50 [ora]
- I was referring to the XML serialization, of course
- 15:12:43 [jjcscribe]
- Jeremy: lets design good XML and then tionker it into RDF triples
- 15:13:17 [jjcscribe]
- Deb: politcial benefits of that may be high
- 15:13:35 [jjcscribe]
- JonathanB: properly constructed good technical XML can be RDF
- 15:13:46 [jjcscribe]
- jb: it may look like DAML+OIL
- 15:14:02 [jjcscribe]
- jb: I look at elements as content, attribute as additional info
- 15:14:11 [jjcscribe]
- jb: a few parseTypes don't bother me
- 15:14:19 [jjcscribe]
- jb: using IDs is good
- 15:14:39 [jjcscribe]
- jb: some compromises will be necessary
- 15:14:53 [jjcscribe]
- jb: I don't believe the necessary compromises are that great
- 15:15:26 [jhendler]
- JimH points out that Guus is chairing this session and he (JimH) will be a participant.
- 15:16:18 [jjcscribe]
- jb: good XML it will be able to put into RDF
- 15:17:26 [jjcscribe]
- JimH: we should start at D+O syntax
- 15:17:40 [jjcscribe]
- JimH: becuse D+O users are familiar with them
- 15:17:57 [jjcscribe]
- JimH; lots of people have bought into D+O syntax
- 15:18:30 [jjcscribe]
- Ora: politically our existence is controversial
- 15:18:50 [heflin]
- I get the feeling that a lot of users are unhappy with D+O syntax.
- 15:18:52 [jjcscribe]
- Ora: we may lose creditabilty if we focus on this issue
- 15:19:59 [jjcscribe]
- Larry: we might get bogged down in this issue
- 15:20:22 [jjcscribe]
- Deb: all of us can live with RDF syntax, but what about broader user base
- 15:21:17 [heflin]
- Maybe someone should survey current D+O users to see how they feel about RDF syntax?
- 15:21:18 [jjcscribe]
- Frank: disagree wtih Jim that we should not diverge from D+O syntax
- 15:21:33 [jjcscribe]
- Frank: core OWL proprofsal synatx was liked because of divergenet
- 15:25:31 [jjcscribe]
- Mike: are negative reactions from XML literate people or non-XML literate
- 15:25:51 [jjcscribe]
- Mike: is this negative about XML or negative about RDF
- 15:26:04 [jjcscribe]
- Frank: it is XML literate poeple
- 15:26:13 [jjcscribe]
- Deb: are frame literate people
- 15:26:25 [jjcscribe]
- Deb: are XML literate people without RDF or DL
- 15:26:54 [jjcscribe]
- Larry: I though OWL litewas going to fix that
- 15:27:31 [jjcscribe]
- Pat: we seem to have two splits
- 15:27:43 [jjcscribe]
- Pat presentation vs under the hood syntax
- 15:27:52 [jjcscribe]
- Pat: XML serialization vs anything else
- 15:28:20 [jjcscribe]
- Jb: motivation for using XML or RDF is that it is less work
- 15:28:23 [heflin]
- Does Pat mean RDF XML serialization, or some other XML serialization?
- 15:28:29 [jjcscribe]
- jb: syntax is already defined,
- 15:29:28 [jhendler]
- pat - RDF/XML
- 15:30:02 [heflin]
- I am not in favor of just anything else.
- 15:30:24 [jhendler]
- "just anything else" than what?
- 15:30:25 [heflin]
- I'm for RDF for data, other XML syntax for ontologies.
- 15:31:04 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: proposed that underlying syntax is ugly
- 15:31:12 [heflin]
- Above I was referring to scribes wording of Pat's statement. It sounds like non-XML was included there.
- 15:31:44 [jjcscribe]
- (asside Pat did seem to be letting that)
- 15:32:28 [jjcscribe]
- (I am a bit lost)
- 15:33:15 [heflin]
- (I wish I could be on the telecon, but the moment I phone in, a student is bound to walk into my office.
- 15:33:29 [jjcscribe]
- Peter: e.g. RSS can be roundtripped as RDF but then the meaning changes, because its meaning is XML
- 15:33:53 [jjcscribe]
- JimH: I strongly feel that the meaning is in terms of the treiple
- 15:37:28 [jjcscribe]
- (discussion missed)
- 15:37:46 [jjcscribe]
- JimH: triples have well established history

- Jeff hefflin joint

- Zakim, P55 is jeff_hefflin
- 15:39:38 [Zakim]

- zakim, who is here?
- 15:41:05 [Zakim]
- I see ??P13, ??P2, ??P3, ??P55
- 15:41:20 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: can we technically live with RDF triples
- 15:41:32 [DeborahMc]
- i do not know my number on zakim, but deborah mcguinness is on the line
- 15:42:43 [jjcscribe]
- jb: dark triples?
- 15:43:37 [jhendler]
- Pat - looks like dark triples may be resolved in some simpler way
- 15:43:42 [jjcscribe]
- Pat: Peter and I have stolen an idea from Jos to have dark trriples with no changes to RDF
- 15:44:17 [Zakim]
- -??P55
- 15:44:28 [heflin]
- I had to hang up. A student's here...
- 15:44:50 [jjcscribe]
- Pat: the trick is incorporate the unasserted triples in another document and refer to them
- 15:46:08 [jjcscribe]
- Guus: is there a technical hurdle that cannot be overcome with RDF triples
- 15:48:02 [jjcscribe]
- Frank: round tripping
- 15:48:27 [jjcscribe]
- Jeremy: let's have preferred presentation syntax giving a preferred serialization of an RDF graph
- 15:48:49 [jjcscribe]
- over an above a different serialization
- 15:49:10 [heflin]
- Is the telecon almost over, or should I still rejoin?
- 15:49:42 [DeborahMc]
- the conversation is still going strong
- 15:51:20 [heflin]
- apparenty the conference is "restricted." Have we reached the limit of attendees?
- 15:51:44 [jjcscribe]
- no
- 15:51:50 [jhendler]
- we may have gone over time limit - Massimo?
- 15:52:23 [heflin]
- Maybe it won't let anyone join after 11:45 ET?
- 15:53:10 [jjcscribe]
- jb: propose postponing the req for round tripping
- 15:55:03 [jjcscribe]
- Steven Buswell: wif we have two serializations which one is the reference syntax
- 15:55:19 [jjcscribe]
- for pragmatic reasons the reference syntax is RDF
- 15:56:05 [jjcscribe]
- Frank: people like fram in OWL lite; Jim I don't
- 15:57:11 [jjcscribe]
- Massimo: are there any technical problems with RDF as a syntax here?
- 15:57:45 [heflin]
- Layering issues, raised by Peter.
- 15:58:11 [DeborahMc]
- just to add a vote, i have a number of comments from potential users supporting a frame syntax.
- 15:58:28 [jjcscribe]
- jb: you could include the whole source ontology as an XML literal
- 15:59:32 [jjcscribe]
- xml literal is value of parseType="literal"
- 16:01:02 [heflin]
- I think that using triples for ontology also opens you up to problems where people could redefine your ontology building vocabulary (e.g., change the meaning of intersectionOf)
- 16:01:08 [jjcscribe]
- guus: propose that there is a presentation syntax and an underlying syntax and a transform
- 16:01:28 [jjcscribe]
- guus: some form of preservation of presentation syntax is requirement
- 16:02:19 [jjcscribe]
- guus: propose also RDF is underlying syntax
- 16:04:40 [jjcscribe]
- deb we should present our solution in a way that makes XML and antiRDF people happy
- 16:05:30 [jjcscribe]
- guus: propose that the presentation syntax is in XML
- 16:05:39 [jjcscribe]
- (last bit seems controversial)
- 16:07:02 [jjcscribe]
- ora; M&S says RDF/XML is one serialization
- 16:07:37 [ora]
- "only one" serialization, others may exist
- 16:07:52 [ora]
- not "the only one"
- 16:08:19 [DanC]
- but until lots of consumers grok another RDF syntax, it is the only one
- 16:08:24 [jjcscribe]
- AGREEMENT: to the bullers 1-3 of above proposal, (not that presentation syntax is XML - but the other ones)
- 16:08:43 [ora]
- N3 is popular, yes?
- 16:09:11 [DanC]
- N3 is a popular text-editor-based authoring tool for RDF/XML, yes.
- 16:09:22 [JosD]
- definitely!
- 16:09:56 [jjcscribe]
- jb: we should register a mime media type
