-> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2007/05/29-agenda agenda of Mountain View meeting
16:10:46 [DanC]
HT: re 5 to 6pm, I doubt it.
16:12:15 [DanC]
DC: as scribing over breakfast is challenging, pls move administrative stuff elsewhere
16:12:51 [DanC]
SKW: purpose and direction might include our web presence
16:13:47 [DanC]
HT: purpose and direction seems like a good use of time, but better later in the meeting
16:14:10 [noah]
q+ to ask about putting all of versioning together
16:14:22 [Stuart]
ack noah
16:14:22 [Zakim]
noah, you wanted to ask about putting all of versioning together
16:15:07 [DanC]
NM: re versioning... how about moving some of it to day 1, to let it percolate
16:15:45 [DanC]
(mild preference for moving some versioning as NM suggests)
16:19:49 [DanC]
agenda + XTech debrief [TVR]
16:22:50 [DanC]
SKW: DanC, you asked for "HTML Design Principles and Web Architecture", what's the/a goal? do you want to lead it?
16:23:16 [DanC]
DanC: I'm not sure whether those design principles are increasing or decreasing in importance
16:23:48 [DanC]
HT: if there's no other place to ask whether /TR/webarch/ is too strong in its position on version identification, then we need this
16:24:23 [DanC]
NM, TVR added some that the scribe missed; the chair seemed content to move on... scribe hopes this record has what everybody needs.
16:26:17 [DanC]
NM: there's enough diversity of opinion that it might be worth having a level-setting sections

16:26:37 [Stuart]

16:27:45 [DanC]
DC: I'm inclined to have the level-setting happen as an executive decision rather than discussing it as a group
16:28:47 [DanC]
SKW: I'm inclined to discuss tactics as a group

16:36:26 [timbl]

16:36:45 [Stuart]
http://www.w3.org/TR/namespaceState/
16:36:45 [DanC]
-> http://www.w3.org/TR/namespaceState/ The Disposition of Names in an XML Namespace
16:37:18 [DanC]
DanC: I suggest end-of-life-ing it as a WG Note
16:37:41 [DanC]
SKW: how does one do that?
16:37:55 [DanC]
DanC: just write a new status-of-this-document and ask the webmaster
16:38:10 [DanC]
ACTION SKW: discuss with NDW moving /TR/namespaceState/ to WG Note

SKW: so we have an update from DO, in 3 parts
16:40:45 [DanC]
ACTION: DanC Review definitions of partial understanding, backward compatible, and forward compatible. [CONTINUES]
16:41:16 [DanC]
DanC: I'm disappointed that the document is going in the opposite of the direction I advised, which was to integrate the definitions into the material so that they're motivated
16:41:56 [Stuart]
http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/actions#XMLVersioning-41
16:41:59 [DanC]
NM: I sent some comments on previous drafts [a pointer would be nifty]. Some of my comments have been addressed, some not. I'm interested in views from others.
16:42:08 [DanC]
SKW: I plan to [missed]
16:43:20 [DanC]
ACTION HT: to extend his paper (around Vancouver) to a definition of monotonicity and its relevance to our versioning finding. [CONTINUES]
16:43:34 [DanC]
HT: I don't expect to make progress before this coming ftf meeting
16:44:05 [DanC]
SKW: re "ACTION NDW: Produce some information about NVDL for the finding." ... what's NVDL?
16:44:25 [DanC]
HT: NVDL is a standard in progress in ISO... multiple namespace ...
16:44:35 [DanC]
(in progress?)
16:44:42 [Zakim]

6. XTech debrief [from TVR via DanC]
16:47:02 [DanC]
SKW: just HT from the TAG went to this conference?
16:47:42 [DanC]
HT: yes. XTech has some history in SGML Europe, XML Europe. Edd Dumbill (sp?) has moved the "center of gravity" to web 2.0/browsers/etc.
16:47:48 [DanC]
HT: ~200 attendees
16:48:21 [DanC]
HT: tracks were: core technologies (least attended), browsers, open data (most attended), and one other
16:48:45 [DanC]
HT: Dave Beckett gave a very good talk on non-XML text formats.
16:49:05 [DanC]
... he had some very trenchant [?] criticisms of them
16:49:57 [DanC]
... YAML spec, which was aimed at being simpler than XML, is now 3x as long
16:50:20 [DanC]
HT: I went to Henri S.'s talk on conformance checking HTML 5...
16:50:59 [DanC]
... follow-up discussion... "you've written this cool checker based on grammars and such; how about getting the WG to adapt these grammars?"
16:51:52 [DanC]
... to which the response was [something like] "but then there would be a risk of conflicting definitions of the language" and such
16:53:45 [DanC]
HT: I had a good discussion with Anne, who's doing a thesis on an HTML5 processor... I just had a "making HTML tag soup declarative" paper accepted; so we agreed to exchange notes
16:54:42 [DanC]
NM: a colleague of mine is working on Operator, a firefox extension that handled calendar/contact microformats. EliasT announced, at XTech, support in Operator for RDFa too.
16:54:59 [DanC]
agenda + WWW2007 debrief
16:55:16 [timbl]
What about a RDF/XML , or an GRDDL plugin for Operator?
16:55:39 [DanC]
Zakim, take up item 7
16:55:39 [Zakim]
agendum 7. "WWW2007 debrief" taken up [from DanC]
16:56:47 [Zakim]
+Norm
17:00:14 [DanC]
SKW sorta adjourned the meeting, or at least excused those who wish to go... so scribing here is light
17:00:31 [DanC]
Zakim, take up item namespace
17:00:31 [Zakim]
'namespace' matches agenda items 3 and 5, DanC

Zakim, take up item 5

agendum 5. "issue namespaceDocument-8" taken up [from NDW via DanC]
17:00:51 [Zakim]
+Norm
17:01:17 [DanC]
NDW: so picking up from previous ftf...
17:01:47 [Stuart]
well I sorta suggested that we might, but I didn't actually call "adjourned" and folks seemed to stay.
17:03:10 [DanC]
Subject: Describing the "nature" of a resource
17:03:10 [DanC]
Date: Wed, 16 May 2007 16:37:58 -0400
17:04:38 [DanC]
NDW: Dan, did you follow?
17:05:19 [DanC]
DanC: well, sorta... but the direction is different from what I was interested to see; I'm interested to start from extant RDDL documents and see what they're trying to do. e.g. how does someone exploit "... rddl:nature HTML4"?
17:05:53 [DanC]
NDW: that's a different approach
17:07:13 [Stuart]
N3 and RDF/XML content negotiated?
17:07:15 [DanC]
SKW: I'm a little lost... I picked up on a tangent about resources and representations
17:08:35 [DanC]
TBL: can we look at this as generic resources? is there the case of RNG and XSD schemas that convey the same information? they have different natures?
17:09:10 [DanC]
NDW: yes, e.g. docbook.rng vs docbook.xsd
