<JibberJim> Hi people, sorry I have no phone available :-( there's insufficient internet here for my voip
action item 1 - Shadi and Charlos todo
item 1 - Carlos will post by next Monday (RDF-CL in EARL)
test
<shadi> jim, we are looking at open action items
<shadi> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wai-ert/2006Apr/0001
<shadi> i beliebe your 1st action item is partially closed, right?
<shadi> and your second one, you need to repind the annotea folks
<shadi> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wai-ert/2006Mar/0003
<JibberJim> yes, I need a little finishing up on the 1st, if everyone is happy with what I posted, and the 2nd yes I need to chase the annotea folk again
<niq> also for the minutes: The proposal makes a lot of sense as far as it goes, but that's just a first reaction
JK - content needs to be converted to text. Need another property that that describes encoding.
<JibberJim> Do you mean the original encoding? would this not come from the HTTP vocab?
<JibberJim> the encoding in snippets would be in the encoding of the RDF file - ie it could be transcoded from the original
<niq> c.f. my comment on encoding wrt HTTP-in-RDF from last night (EU time)
<JohannesK> Jim: if you have e.g. images/PDFs you only have bytes not characters, but you need to transform these bytes into text (e.g. with Base64) because EARL is a text format
NIQ no need to record info that is already in HTTP info
<shadi> jim, is it ok to give you an action item to clean up the proposal and provide RDFS that can be plugged into the schema document?
<JibberJim> ah, JK I wasn't considering the snippet etc. methods would work for non text content
<JibberJim> yes shadi it's fine

SZ - wonders if we should use something like byte offest length?
JK - doesn't make sense to mix. Should be char offset.
NIQ - simple tools use byte offsets easier.
SZ - problem with unicode (chars can use more that one byte)
SZ - some times bytes instead of chars makes sense

SZ - we should be cautious about encoding everything in RDF.
JK - was CarlosV's idea and he had use cases in mind but I don't know what they are.
JK - If don't want to use it in EARL should not be required.
SZ - URI is important for EARL so needs to be properties
SZ - many items can be put in URI so what is benefit of seperating out?
CV - consistency
SZ - What is problem with EARL URI?
SZ - there are minor drawbacks so we need a solid use case
SZ - more efficient to record just header info and not content
CV - would like a single property/class to describe, currently have too many things
JK - need use cases to describe where split is necessary, else use single property
SZ - good suggestion
<scribe> ACTION: CV will document and elaborate benefits/drawbacks to using single/multipe properties [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/04/05-er-minutes.html#action03]
