RRS agent builds those URLs (for actions), RRSAgent initially builds the URL that points to the raw IRC log, timestamped ... 15:18:53 rrsagent, please draft minutes 15:18:53 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2006/10/17-swd-minutes.html RalphS 15:18:58 ... action URL is produced by the minutes reformatting script ... 15:19:17 ... can ask for the minutes to be redrafted, gets queued in the background 15:19:22 q+ to ask whether #action01 URIs only get generated at the _end_ of the telecon? 15:19:29 q+ How Alistair designated himself as scribe, and what needs to be done to the minutes after the meeting 15:19:31 ... can now look at the -minutes.html file. 15:19:47 tomb: those action URLs get generated at the end of the telecon? 15:19:56 ralph: get generated by the draft minutes request. 15:20:41 daniel: how does scribe get designated? all minutes get recorded at the server side, what does scribe have to do after? 15:20:52 ralph: don't have to put "scribe" in your nick". 15:21:15 scribenick: alistair_scribe 15:21:17 ... script will use a heuristic to determine who was probably the scribe, if scribe changes midstream can change scribe explicitly ... 15:21:35 ... that text in the irc record tells script which lines coming from scribe 15:22:05 ... other question, the IRC log is recorded on the W3C servers, the draft minutes script will produce an HTML file which always needs a little bit of hand editing 15:22:51 ... e.g. scroll to today's record, see there is diagnostic output, in there will be diagnostics pointing to places that might need some attention 15:23:19 ... once you've dealt with issues, delete diagnostics. If you've followed the conventions for scribing then the amount of cleanup is minimal. 15:23:27 daniel: where do you go to clean up the minutes? 15:23:43 -> http://www.w3.org/2006/10/17-swd-minutes.html today's minutes 15:23:57 ralph: when you ask for the minutes to be generated, you'll get the URI ... 15:24:27 q+ And how do we upload the edited minutes? 15:24:29 ... constructed according to a regular pattern. 15:24:51 q+ where is all this documented? 15:25:08 ... because minutes into year/month directory on W3C, cannot give write access to WG participants, so we work around this ... 15:25:15 * ack sensb 15:25:27 ... e.g. when scribe has finished cleaning up the HTML file send it to me, I'll put it up. 15:25:51 ack Bern 15:25:59 ralph: i'll find a link to some info about this ... 15:26:09 http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Telecons 15:26:20 -> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Telecons Chris Welty's collection of how W3C meetings run 15:26:43 -> http://www.w3.org/Guide/ Art of Consensus 15:27:12 ... art of consensus started out as hints for WG charis, been expanded to include other stuff ... 15:27:35 ... see especially section "collected wisdom and advice" 15:27:44 http://www.w3.org/Guide/#mtg-advice 15:28:25 ACTION: ralph to link to chris' telecon notes from SWD homepage 15:28:54 daniel: how does alistair know who's talking? :) 15:28:59 ralph: this is ralph's voice. 15:29:34 guus: customary to announce yourself when beginning talking 15:29:40 ... especially at start of new groups. 15:29:59 ... tom & I will also propose scheme for scribing. 15:30:11 ... going back to the agenda, one action in the minutes for ralph 15:30:17 ACTION: Tom and Guus to propose a scheme for scribing 15:30:31 DONE 15:30:40 -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2006Oct/0017.html other potential WG meetings 22 Jan 15:30:53 guus: straw poll last week on f2f, good timing wrt planning 15:31:03 [DONE] ACTION: Ralph communicate to January meeting planners 15:31:03 our desire to keep the option for f2f open for a couple more 15:31:03 weeks [recorded in 15:31:03 http://www.w3.org/2006/10/10-swd-minutes.html#action01] 15:31:07 opos 15:31:07 ... f2f meetings typically where we decide to release key documents 15:31:09 oops 15:31:19 ... timing would be right to release use cases & requirements for SKOS 15:31:21 [DONE] ACTION: Ralph communicate to January meeting planners our desire to keep the option for f2f open for a couple more weeks [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/10/10-swd-minutes.html#action01] 15:31:46 ... any new views on this? week of 22 january, for 2 day meeting either at meginning or end of meeting 15:31:54 ben: if I'm in town I will attend 15:32:06 zakim, unmute alistair 15:32:06 Alistair should no longer be muted 15:32:45 ralph: monday and tuesday best for me 15:32:49 guus: same holds for me 15:32:53 rachel: same for me 15:33:10 guus: assume for the moment 22 23 january, need to decide on this within two weeks 15:33:29 TOPIC: 2. SKOS REQUIREMENTS (30 min) 15:33:30 Topic: 2. SKOS REQUIREMENTS 15:33:42 scribenick: TomB_scribe 15:34:27 Alistair: On requirements. Today posted a long email to list on thoughts 15:34:28 scribenick: TomB 15:34:57 ...on requirements for SKOS. Based on my paper. Suggest we be careful not to bite off more than can chew. 15:35:01 -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2006Oct/0022.html SKOS requirements [Alistair 2006-10-17] 15:35:15 ...scope ourselves tightly by limiting use cases to two Patterns: 15:35:37 ...1) one controlled vocab used to "index" some objects, then same vocab used to query index 15:35:57 ...focus in terms of functionality: all to do with retrieval, specifically retrieval using CVs 15:36:26 ...2) more than one CV in play. When different CVs used in metadata and in query, mapping is required. 15:36:58 ...in DC-2006 paper, sketched cases, broad-brush. What features draw out? 15:37:08 ...So far no negative feedback. 15:37:50 ...If we decide to accept this focus on retrieval, then difficulty: to describe the functionality in the abstract (not getting caught up in UI issues) 15:37:59 s/UI/User Interface/ 15:38:21 ...Wrote thesis on this - see posting. 15:38:52 ...Different types of visualizations of CV for humans - which is necessary for SKOS to automatically generate? 15:39:13 ...Emphasize Semantic Web flavor of use cases -- merging data from multiple sources. 15:39:25 ...emphasize distributed aspect, data merging, in use cases. 15:39:53 Guus: Feedback regarding different use cases (different vocabularies)? 15:39:59 bernard: couldn't access to paper ... 15:40:25 Bernard: Could not access papers - without tasks, not clear. 15:40:29 TomB, you wanted to ask whether #action01 URIs only get generated at the _end_ of the telecon? 15:41:00 Alistair: "indexing" is the term that this community uses -- constructing metadata about objects and using controlled vocabulary for constructing metadata. 15:41:14 ..."indexing": associating metadata with objects. 15:41:29 ...CV index associates one or more terms from the vocabulary. 15:41:44 ...an "index" is "some metadata involving controlled vocabularies". 15:42:02 ...Example: library catalog with Dewey code. 15:42:22 Bernard: why is the metadata important? Why not just, intrisically, the vocabulary? 15:42:34 q+ to ask whether there are clear examples that are *out of scope* of Patterns A and B 15:42:37 Alistair: taxonomy or CV needs to be designed with a function in mind. 15:43:08 ...CV for one purpose will be different from Wordnet - structure of vocabulary will have different features because applied differently. 15:43:27 ...by focusing on functionality we want to support, focus on features we want to capture in the language itself. 15:43:39 ...if our representation is sufficient for the functionality... 15:44:04 ...Could be hard to understand when we have satisfied requirements. 15:44:18 Guus: People here using vocabularies for purposes different from indexing? 15:44:49 zakim, who is speaking 15:44:49 I don't understand 'who is speaking', TomB 15:44:52 [daniel is speaking] 15:45:10 http://www.webster-dictionary.org/definition/etiology 15:45:30 Daniel: shared repositories - desktop applications - medical ontologies. Problem is that content is not stabilized, so use cases not established. 15:45:42 Guus: Daniel, is what Alistair is saying consistent? 15:46:50 RalphS: Similar reaction to Bernard. Alistair mentioned A and B. As SWD moves forward, examples of deployed systems - specific customers in mind, helpful to cite early on. 15:47:12 Guus: Alistair, give pointers to existing systems. 15:47:24 ACTION: Alistair give pointers to deployed SKOS systems. 15:47:49 RalphS: you have abstract cases - continue in abstract vein? 15:48:18 Alistair: in my DC-2006 paper, a hypothetical use case, concretely illustrating Pattern A - also in dissertation 15:48:29 ack seanb 15:48:29 seanb, you wanted to ask whether there are clear examples that are *out of scope* of Patterns A and B 15:48:31 ...my posting today has relevant links. 15:48:46 SeanB: whether there are clear examples definitely out of scope of these patterns? 15:49:00 ...helpful if there are examples of things we do _not_ want to address. 15:49:22 Alistair: Yes, e.g., Roget's Thesaurus (or thesaurus in MS-Word). 15:49:39 ...glossaries and dictionaries... 15:50:00 ..."terminologies" (confusingly called) - sets of lexical data for supporting translators 15:50:24 ...if we accept my suggested scope they would be outside _our_ requirements (not to say it couldn't be done) 15:50:33 zakim, guus is really Antoine 15:50:33 +Antoine; got it 15:50:37 Rachel: Are these patterns SKOS-specific? 15:51:08 Alistair: these are application scenarios, within which SKOS can be applied in order to communicate shared data between software components involved. 15:51:17 ...trying to illustrate use cases at high level... 15:51:30 ...then saying "these are the types we want to target and support"... 15:51:54 -Tom_Baker 15:51:58 Rachel: need clarification of context - not just 15:52:37 Antoine: pattern A is a traditional library use case 15:52:58 ... where the corpus is indexed by a controlled vocabulary in order to facilitate retrieval 15:53:11 Rachel: so these patterns can be applied to more than SKOS? 15:53:18 +Tom_Baker 15:53:30 Alistair: yes, these patterns can be applied to other organizations and services 15:53:55 ... we're trying to enable functionality in a distributed setting; i.e. Semantic Web, not necessarily provide new functionality 15:54:42 Guus: On mailing list this week, let's exchange whether these are useful scoping restrictions (or too strict) 15:55:11 guus: should plan for requiremtns WD to come out in january ... 15:55:12 scribenick: alistair_scribe 15:55:24 ... need to decide who will coordinate this draft 15:55:33 ... who will be willing to volunteer 15:55:55 ... normally would not ask main designed to coordinate the requirements document 15:56:00 ... talk about next week 15:56:17 Topic: RDF in XHTML 15:56:17 zakim, mute alistair 15:56:17 Alistair should now be muted 15:57:13 ben: task force in last WG (SWBPD) focus on rdf in html . 15:57:22 ... continued work in summer, just implementation and demo 15:57:35 ... now getting back into working on RDF/A syntax and primer docs 15:57:38 -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2006Oct/0002.html update on RDFa progress from Ben 15:57:48 ... update with lessons learned, (lack of) difficulties in implementation 15:58:16 ... RDF/A is a way to express RDF triples in XHTML, using mostly attributes that already exist in XHTML, apply a bit more liberally to other elements 15:58:30 ... main construct is the "rel" attribute in the "a" element 15:58:50 ... e.g. if you link to creative commons license, and add a rel atttribute, you are effectively creating an RDF triple 15:59:08 ... so how easily can we get authors to embed rdf triples in html 15:59:24 -> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/HTML/ RDF in XHTML Taskforce (old) 15:59:42 ... RDF/A primer and syntax docs, working hard to update with latest changes 15:59:45 -> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/primer/ RDFa Primer editors' draft 15:59:58 -> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/syntax/ RDFa Syntax editors' draft 16:00:02 ... RDF/A primer is good intro, short, examples, if it doesn't make sense give us some feedback 16:00:19 ... happy to have more contributors, ??? from IBM joined in summer 16:00:43 guus: issue, do we continue with the idea of task forces, groups working seperately and reporting back to the main group 16:00:45 -Bernard_Horan 16:00:53 ... is your proposal to continue that way? (ralph has doubts) 16:01:31 ben: ralph's concern regarding fragmentation makes sense, but there are some fairly detailed rdf/a issues to discuss that may not be of interest to whole WG 16:01:49 ... but completely sympathetic to idea that all WG needs to be involved. 16:02:26 guus: let's leave it here and come back to it next time. hope to see some mailing list communication especially regarding potential use cases and requirements for SKOS 16:03:12 [I expect that we will want to create subcommittees in this WG but I'd like to suggest that important decisions come back to the WG telecon frequently as the subcommittees make progress] 16:03:25 ...
