2003-08-05.txt:00:58:43 Hi from Montreal 2003-08-05.txt:11:53:36 tutorials were yesterday. the main conference starts today. 2003-08-05.txt:13:51:19 "have you ever tried to make a diagram of all the XML related specifications people are pushing at us? It's like a hoard of fruit flies!" -- Tommie Usdin, just now 2003-08-05.txt:13:52:57 "there's a new XML book every *week*. Maybe we're not reading the books, but just writing them." -- ibid 2003-08-05.txt:14:13:27 Sigh.. Tommie is plugging xml catalogs. Do we really want to go back to hosts.txt files? 2003-08-05.txt:14:24:06 http://www.esXML.org/ 2003-08-05.txt:14:24:08 This esxml thing looks kinda interesting... Supports editing and such (has an API). 2003-08-05.txt:14:24:10 A: http://www.esXML.org/ from DanC-AIM 2003-08-05.txt:14:24:49 I don't seem to have sufficient bandwidth to interact with the chump bot straightforwardly. 2003-08-05.txt:15:02:28 Renear begins his talk... Modal logic for document processing. 2003-08-05.txt:15:04:10 "Adequacy" on agenda/overview slide... Good... I've been trying to add that to me working vocabulary. 2003-08-05.txt:15:04:15 My 2003-08-05.txt:15:10:55 "is an existential-conjunctive language good enough?" - slide X 2003-08-05.txt:15:11:11 RDF (core) is EC. 2003-08-05.txt:15:13:48 next slide pits Sowa vs. Hayes on EC. Gotta get these slide in http space. 2003-08-05.txt:15:16:42 What does adequacy mean in this context, DanC-AIM? 2003-08-05.txt:15:17:47 "Representation/tractability trade-off" slide. Cool diagram! 2003-08-05.txt:15:24:02 Origins of alethic(?) logic: cf. Lewis. 2003-08-05.txt:15:24:04 Bummer! He just skipped a bunch of stuff that looked interesting. 2003-08-05.txt:15:24:17 He explains model theory in 2 minutes reasonably well. 2003-08-05.txt:15:28:33 (checking logs to be sure my notes aren't going in the bit-bucket) 2003-08-05.txt:15:32:55 (yup) 2003-08-05.txt:15:36:56 Now covering deontic logic... "the logic of RFC2119" 2003-08-05.txt:15:42:27 Kif doesn't include modalities, no. (you could squeeze it in via quoting or some such, but you wouldn't get vey far in the kif community, I don't think) 2003-08-05.txt:15:44:33 "documents are abstract. they don't come into being and go away." john Cowan would disagree, I believe 2003-08-05.txt:15:45:31 Ann w. : documents don't assert things. They're just structured information objects. 2003-08-05.txt:15:46:57 Murata-san: I used modal logic for [dsssl?]. It's ok for representation, but not for computation, so I don't see the motivation for this work. 2003-08-05.txt:15:48:30 Renear: yes, this is about expressiveness, so far, not about computation. 2003-08-05.txt:15:55:53 Fuchs: I disagree with murata... I think modal logic is extremely useful. [tommie curtails discussion] 2003-08-05.txt:15:55:55 --- Tennison: "Typing in transformations" 2003-08-05.txt:15:55:57 Goodie... On the changes from xpath 1 to 2.0 2003-08-05.txt:15:55:59 "this talk, on typing changes, is negative, but XSLT 2.0 is overall/otherwise good." 2003-08-05.txt:15:58:47 Version of which? Jenny's talk 2003-08-05.txt:15:58:49 ? 2003-08-05.txt:16:03:04 XSLT 2... Backwards compatibility feature... And basic vs schema-aware processors... Eek... Looks like the "this is too hard to decide... Let's include both" AntiPattern 2003-08-05.txt:16:05:19 I wonder if the W3C QA WG could review for options like that and complain about them. They didn't say much about the OWL dialects. 2003-08-05.txt:16:08:41 JT: avoid xs:anyURI. Functions/operators take strings. 2003-08-05.txt:16:39:27 @ExML: discussion of strong typing costs/benefits... Leaking from Java conference 2003-08-05.txt:18:00:24 GPRS here is a tease! It comes and goes. 2003-08-05.txt:18:13:04 -- St. Laurent polemic 2003-08-05.txt:18:16:50 2001 theme... (used with permission?) Playmobile apes. Applause. 2003-08-05.txt:18:24:02 Playmobile hazardous waste crew dealing with "black goup" from XML Schema 2003-08-05.txt:18:25:56 RDF is played by a playmobile robot... Cursing as it's removed by safety crews. 2003-08-05.txt:18:40:54 DanC-AIM, any more tidbits from SSTL? 2003-08-05.txt:18:45:22 He went into a software design that didn't look too interesting. 2003-08-05.txt:18:45:24 -- Moore on semantic web servers 2003-08-05.txt:18:45:26 Bummer... I've got a telcon. This looks interesting. 2003-08-05.txt:18:45:28 Oh good... He seems to be aware of some of the rdf query service stuff that I like 2003-08-05.txt:18:45:38 Heh... His example is scheduling. 2003-08-05.txt:18:48:24 "no standardized way for these agents to talk" not so! GET+RDF/XML are a way. 2003-08-05.txt:18:48:44 "on the wire: http+html only." indeed! Too often! Are there _any_ topicmaps I can GET? 2003-08-05.txt:18:50:36 DanC-AIM: here's one: http://www.diffuse.org/TopicMaps/TopicMap.xml 2003-08-05.txt:18:52:38 Argh! I can't let this guy get away with saying http is no good for the semantic web. 2003-08-05.txt:19:07:14 Hmm... Moore endorses URIQA as interesting. Sigh. 2003-08-05.txt:19:16:58 Oh good... Moore presenting rdf net api, which, I think, is quite promising. 2003-08-05.txt:19:28:13 Gotta go to a telcon... 2003-08-05.txt:19:28:16 byebye 2003-08-05.txt:19:28:16 DanC-AIM has quit 2003-08-05.txt:21:07:51 DanC-AIM has joined #rdfig 2003-08-05.txt:21:08:19 -- Ahmed "Topic Map design patterns" 2003-08-05.txt:21:08:26 Uml diagrams and all. 2003-08-05.txt:21:10:04 Might be fun to look at these as fodder for the esw wiki 2003-08-05.txt:21:10:16 (with permission of course) 2003-08-05.txt:21:13:17 ?: in a way, topicmaps are a pattern, say for RDF usage. 2003-08-05.txt:21:15:10 http://www.techqilla.com/extreme2003/ 2003-08-05.txt:21:15:10 E: http://www.techqilla.com/extreme2003/ from DanC-AIM 2003-08-05.txt:21:16:43 E:/topicmap patterns 2003-08-05.txt:21:16:51 (I can't make a pipe) 2003-08-05.txt:21:19:10 E:I got to plug the esw wiki in response to a request from the floor for a patterns wiki 2003-08-05.txt:21:19:28 Phphpy.

Doubt slides will be available in all cases, though) 2003-08-05.txt:21:39:28 MSM describes use of element form default in the xml schema primer *without* derision. I'm sure that took considerable effort. 2003-08-05.txt:21:57:24 Q fro murata: how fast? 2003-08-05.txt:21:58:10 A runs 75 tests in a minute or so.

That confirms my intuition that tm:subjectIndicator makes sense as an rdf property 2003-08-06.txt:15:12:29 Kinda like foaf:topic 2003-08-06.txt:15:13:19 ...

There is a lot of discussion of how to use URIs as identifiers." <- understatement of the day! 2003-08-06.txt:15:35:42 Foaf is a great situation: it exploits the agreement we *do* have about uris (e.g. My homepage is http://...) and bootstraps a network of new info. 2003-08-06.txt:15:37:48 People love this omnigator thing. I guess a standard library of navigational stuff and some tools to browse it would go a long way in getting rdf adopted. 2003-08-06.txt:15:42:29 Indeed, composition is a pattern worth writing up. Does it have a wiki topic yet? 2003-08-06.txt:15:43:58 Disjointness in foaf... So you can write clearly wrong (I.e.

Out of memory. 2003-08-06.txt:16:06:05 Freese: ran into topic name clashes... Had to switch to display names. 2003-08-06.txt:16:07:23 Freese: I need to use paragraph and list markup in my topicmaps. Topicmap DTD doesn't allow that. Hope the WG fixes that. [good luck! RDF has spent several man-years on it and isn't done!] 2003-08-06.txt:16:11:23 Frese mentioned tolog... He's the 3rd or 4th to do so.
