Norm, status update on XML Core review of arch doc?
16:07:08 [Norm]
Uhm. None that I know of. It only went to last call on Tuesday! :-)
16:07:34 [Ian]
I mean just a confirmatino that they will review...

21:02:19 [Ian]
"Use HTTP URIs as provided by IANA." Or something as simple.
21:02:49 [Ian]
DC: Note that IANA answers with 200 ok, but doesn't commit to doing so forever.

tim-mit, you wanted to agree with Tim Bray's analysis
21:04:55 [DanC]
" Tim Bray's analysis" seems to be ambiguous
21:04:56 [Roy]
/me uses a URI to define the media type
21:05:03 [Ian]
TBL: I agree with TB's initial analysis. I think that the finding can say what *ought* to happen (use HTTP URIs) and then there's the question of what to do in practice.
21:06:22 [Ian]
TBL: I suggest that the finding suggest what ought to happen. And we continue discussions with the IANA folks. And that we find a solution in the short term for the WG.
21:06:33 [Ian]
TBL: We can build a registry in W3C space for mime types.
21:06:42 [Ian]
TBL: We've had a list of mime types before.
21:06:44 [Stuart]
q+
21:06:45 [TBray]
Per Web Architecture, it would be ideal to refer to Internet Media Types as Web Resources, i.e. using URIs. If however the organization that logically owns these resources is not interested in publishing URIs for them, the choices are to use the Internet Media Types they publish, or cook up our own URI-addrssable registry
21:07:16 [Ian]
TBL: We can note that these URIs will not be persistent beyond, say 1 year, and we will maintain the URIs for that duration.
21:07:24 [TBray]
q+ to blanch at the idea of an interim semi-authoritative registry
21:07:42 [DanC]
fyi, Martin built a list of MIME types that sorta come from W3C recently. http://www.w3.org/2002/06/registering-mediatype.html#Status
21:08:02 [DanC]
(my list was URI schemes)
21:08:11 [Ian]
TBL summarizing:
21:08:16 [Ian]
1) Tell WG what to do right now
21:08:30 [Ian]
2) NEgotiate with IANA ; propose W3C manages.
21:08:42 [Ian]
the mime registry and that IANA can clone.
21:08:43 [Stuart]
ack Stuart
21:08:47 [Ian]
3) Put principles behind this in finding.
21:09:16 [Ian]
SW: I agree that finding should say that, in the absence of URIs, to use content type short strings as is.
21:09:18 [Ian]
DC: No things.
21:09:21 [Ian]
s/things/thanks
21:09:38 [Ian]
TBray: The idea of a semi-authoritative registry doesn't strike me as a good idea.
21:09:42 [Ian]
TBray: RDDL has this problem, too.
21:09:49 [DanC]
people can figure out to use names like "text/plain" on their own; there's no value in the TAG endorsing that practice.
21:10:34 [Stuart]
q?

ack TBray
21:10:40 [Zakim]
TBray, you wanted to blanch at the idea of an interim semi-authoritative registry
21:10:40 [Ian]
TBL: Will be important to have a URI for these things if there is to be RDDL mapping to RDF.
21:10:46 [Ian]
s/TBL/TB
21:10:53 [DanC]
well, RDF can deal with "text/plain" strings just fine.
21:11:24 [tim-mit]
But that does not allow any old person to invent a personalmedia type.
21:11:25 [Ian]
DO: Two issues if W3C provides registry: (1) dereferencable or not? (2) or just URI space not used for any other resource types.
21:11:39 [Roy]
suggestion: 1) Tell working group to use media-type with some simple algorithm for parameter ordering (lexical); 2) write up the algorithm as instruction to IANA (an RFC); 3) point out to WGs that the media type is simply a URI relative to the IANA registry base URI.
21:11:58 [TBray]
Yes, but I want to say that with respect to http://example.com/ns/x, that http://example.com/schemas/x.xsd has a nature of <insert namespace name for XML Schema>
21:12:13 [Ian]
RF: E.g. of algorithm: List the parameters in lexical/alphabetical order.
21:12:18 [TBray]
but, if I want to provide a related resource that's a CSS stylesheet, how do I identify its nature?
21:12:38 [Ian]
RF: Point out to the WGs that there's a relative URI into a registry, wherever the registry is. That way you get both - media types and URIs at the same time.
21:12:47 [Ian]
RF: I suggest we update the finding to say this.

DC: Been there /done that.
21:13:25 [Ian]
RF: When the RFC is published, IANA will follow it.
21:13:34 [Ian]
RF: There mandate is to follow the instructions of the IETF...
21:13:41 [Ian]
DC:...except when the instructions conflict.
21:13:54 [Ian]
DC: Mark Baker and I are to ask for last call of our Internet Draft

DC to DO: Do you want to attend the W3C/IETF meeting?
21:18:02 [Ian]
[6 Feb 2004]
21:18:12 [Ian]

21:18:40 [Ian]
Action DC: Invite DO to IETF/W3C for 6 Feb 2004.

21:19:02 [Ian]
SW: Any finding updates expected?
21:19:25 [Ian]
DO: I am hearing "If you need to make a decision right now; use media type strings. We are negotiating the use of URIs for the IANA registry."
21:19:39 [Ian]
DO: We'd like authoritative URIs, but we're not there yet.
21:20:01 [Ian]
TBray: I heard RF suggest that we start minting URIs for the IANA...
21:20:39 [Ian]
RF: The media type is structured like a URI; if you start out using the media type alone, but add an ordering mechanism for the parameters (which are rarely used), the name that you use is a URI. It's just relative.

DanC, you wanted to say if you need a decision right now, TAG isn't finished with the issue, so go ahead and make your own decision
21:20:56 [Ian]
DC: I haven't heard any suggested changes to finding that i consider an improvement.
21:21:16 [Ian]
TBray: I hear RF saying that we take proactive action.
21:21:22 [Ian]
DC: We are doing that; those negotiations are not yet done.
21:21:50 [Ian]
DC: I'm against some short-term action by the TAG; people can do what they want, but not with the TAG's blessing.
21:22:09 [Ian]
SW: I think we have already decided this issue, and the answer is in the finding.
21:22:44 [DanC]
tim's question is too long
21:22:45 [Ian]
TBL: I hear people saying "These media type strings are relative URIs w.r.t. the IANA registry....we need to do some things to make this happen in practice..."
21:23:05 [Ian]
TBL: But I don't think what we need to do with IANA has to be our first action.
21:23:17 [Ian]
TBL: In fact, IANA may respond to the community if there is consensus there.

q?
21:24:00 [Ian]
DO: Is there any connection between DC/MB's internet draft and RF's algorithm?
21:24:34 [Ian]
RF: My suggestion for the WG is to just use the media types today.
21:24:54 [Ian]
TBL: Can we say: If you want to look ahead, treat as a relative URI reference. But we can't tell you the base URI today.
21:26:26 [Ian]
TBL: I think the answer to the WG should be:
21:26:33 [Ian]
a) Identify media types with URIs (of course)
21:26:40 [Ian]
b) But we can't tell you yet the base of the URI
21:26:43 [Roy]
agrees with TBL
21:26:54 [Ian]
c) We can't make guarantees about persistence/dereferenceability today.
21:27:03 [Ian]
DC: That's not the answer I want to give today.
21:27:22 [Ian]
TBL: Why does the WG need to make any changes to its spec?
21:27:53 [tim-mit]
DO: What si the base changes?
21:27:56 [tim-mit]

21:28:56 [Ian]
DC: I expect the TAG to resolve the issue in good course; I don't want to endorse anything until we resolve the issue.
21:29:22 [Ian]
DC: I am waiting for the IANA negotiations to finish first.

TBL: I'm concerned about the idea of trying to convince IANA before we implement this on our site.
21:31:20 [Ian]
TBL: The picture that RF painted was that, if you write up an RFC, and you have some community behind you, then IANA will go ahead and do it.
21:31:36 [Ian]
TBL: I've not seen the IANA agree "in principle"
21:32:31 [Ian]
SW: I request that people review the current finding and suggest concrete revisions.
