15:11:32 [Zakim]
agendum 1. "Action Items" taken up [from RalphS]
15:11:56 [RalphS]
ACTION: Ben, Mark, Elias, and other implementors to add xml:lang support [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/08/23-rdfa-minutes.html#action11]
15:12:03 [RalphS]
-- continues
15:12:18 [RalphS]
Mark: my implementation is a javascript library
15:12:32 [RalphS]
... at the moment this is running inside an Internet Explorer sidebar
15:12:41 [RalphS]
... the library is cross-browser, however
15:12:54 [RalphS]
... I do plan to make this open source
15:14:08 [RalphS]
... I didn't use Ben's bookmarklet library because I wanted to reuse work I'd done years ago on an RDF parser
15:14:51 [RalphS]
... I want to trigger arbitrary things on finding a triple
15:15:23 [RalphS]
... I did start with Ben's code
15:15:53 [RalphS]
... I have xml:lang support already
15:16:00 [RalphS]
Ben: I don't yet support xml:lang
15:16:17 [RalphS]
... there are side issues, such as agendum 6
15:16:26 [RalphS]
... regarding XMLLiterals
15:16:44 [RalphS]
... I chatted with Elias last week
15:17:20 [RalphS]
... He's been following the mail and has been working with Mike Kaply on the FireFox Operator support
15:17:52 [RalphS]
ACTION: Michael to create "Microformats done right -- unambiguous taxonomies via RDF" on the wiki [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/08/23-rdfa-minutes.html#action06]
15:17:54 [RalphS]
-- continues
15:18:15 [RalphS]
[WITHDRAWN] ACTION: Michael to create best practices wiki page [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/08/16-rdfa-minutes.html#action13]
15:19:20 [RalphS]
ACTION: Ben to look into Science Commons use case [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/12/11-htmltf-minutes.html#action04]
15:19:23 [RalphS]

15:19:48 [RalphS]

15:19:57 [RalphS]
ACTION: Ben to recontact implementors Elias, MarkB, triplr [and Fabien] and post their implementations to http://esw.w3.org/topic/RDFa#Implementations [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/08/02-rdfa-minutes.html#action09]
15:20:00 [RalphS]
-- continues
15:20:10 [RalphS]
Ben: I've done some, still need to contact Fabien and others
15:20:18 [RalphS]
ACTION: Ben to work test cases 31 and 32 into primer [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/08/16-rdfa-minutes.html#action14]
15:20:21 [RalphS]
-- continues
15:20:36 [RalphS]
Ben: I've updated the Primer but might not have completed this action
15:20:48 [RalphS]
[DONE] ACTION: Michael to add a test case for @src [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/08/16-rdfa-minutes.html#action10]
15:21:55 [RalphS]
Ralph: Michael's best practices action had to do with URIs in @href and @resource. Did we really withdraw this?
15:22:14 [RalphS]
Mark: I think we did decide to withdraw this
15:22:29 [RalphS]
... Michael had suggested some 'MUST' language to authors in the spec
15:22:42 [RalphS]
... we decided we couldn't add that
15:23:02 [RalphS]
... but we also discussed whether there couldn't be some advice, say, in the Primer
15:23:39 [RalphS]
... using @resource='isbn...' is a simple case
15:23:58 [RalphS]
ACTION: Ben add an isbn: resource example to the Primer to illustrate @resource overriding @href
15:24:23 [RalphS]
zakim, move to next agendum
15:24:23 [Zakim]
I see a speaker queue remaining and respectfully decline to close this agendum, RalphS
15:24:27 [RalphS]
zakim, move to next agendum
15:24:28 [Zakim]
agendum 2. "Test Cases" taken up [from RalphS]
15:24:40 [benadida]
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/xhtml1-testcases/Test0034
15:24:51 [RalphS]
Test 34
15:25:13 [benadida]
<img about="http://sw-app.org/mic.xhtml#i" rel="foaf:image" src="http://sw-app.org/img/mic_2007_01.jpg" alt="A photo depicting Michael" />
15:25:47 [RalphS]
Steven: is foaf:image the right spelling?
15:26:27 [RalphS]
Ben: nope, foaf:Image is the class, foaf:img is the predicate
15:26:39 [RalphS]
Steven: is depictionOf not preferred?
15:27:29 [RalphS]
s/depictionOf/depicts/
15:27:32 [Steven]
http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/
15:28:20 [RalphS]
RESOLVED: test 34 approved, contingent on fixing the predicate to foaf:img
15:28:36 [RalphS]
Steven: [reads from -> http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_img foaf:img definition ]
15:28:59 [Steven]
"Unlike the more general foaf:depiction property (and its inverse, foaf:depicts), the foaf:img property is only used with representations of people (ie. instances of foaf:Person)."
15:29:12 [RalphS]
Mark: foaf:depiction can point to pictures that include other things; foaf:img is like a preferred image of [one] person
15:30:07 [RalphS]
Mark: it's a shame that @alt isn't being used for rdfs:label but that's another issue
15:30:17 [benadida]
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/xhtml1-testcases/Test0035
15:30:24 [benadida]
<img about="http://sw-app.org/mic.xhtml#i" rel="foaf:image" src="http://sw-app.org/img/mic_2007_01.jpg" href="http://sw-app.org/img/mic_2006_03.jpg" alt="A photo depicting Michael" />
15:30:25 [RalphS]
Test 35
15:31:06 [RalphS]
Ben: test 35 shows @href overriding @src
15:31:52 [RalphS]
Mark: test 35 is correct but looking at the markup it seems counterintuitive why @href is overriding
15:32:18 [RalphS]
Steven: there are cases in the future where you'll want both @src and @href on the same element
15:32:25 [RalphS]
Ben: the @href might be a bigger picture, for example
15:32:49 [RalphS]
... in that case, the author probably does want the relationship to be with the bigger picture and not the thumbnail
15:33:13 [RalphS]
Steven: yes, that's the expected answer for that use case. But if clicking on the link took you to a home page ...
15:33:32 [RalphS]
Ben: so that's a good example to use @resource to override @href
15:33:54 [RalphS]
Steven: the question is how to interpret the @rel
15:34:17 [RalphS]
Ben: if the author has an image that links back to a home page, will they use @rel?
15:34:26 [RalphS]
Steven: yes, if the @rel is homepage
15:36:15 [RalphS]
Ralph: my intuition is that <img @href> will be used when the image is an iconic representation of the @href target,
15:36:28 [RalphS]
... in that case the natural object is the @href target
15:36:49 [RalphS]
Ben: I can see markup specifically written to defeat our approach
15:37:24 [RalphS]
... but it seems unlikely that the default markup will want a different interpretation
15:38:14 [RalphS]
RESOLVED: test 35 accepted, correcting foaf:image to foaf:img
15:38:35 [RalphS]
-> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/xhtml1-testcases/Test0036 test 36
15:38:58 [RalphS]
Steven: we should add another test using all 3 in combination
15:39:08 [RalphS]
Mark: and one without @rel
15:39:21 [RalphS]
... but how do we write a SPARQL query that shows no triple?
15:40:18 [RalphS]
RESOLVED: test 36 accepted, correcting foaf:image to foaf:img
15:40:58 [RalphS]
Manu: do we need the DIV? are we trying to keep the tests minimal?
15:41:06 [RalphS]
... not a problem but might be confusing
15:41:30 [RalphS]
Shane: the DIV is needed for the content model; IMG not allowed in BODY
15:43:07 [RalphS]
ACTION: Ralph ask Eric Prud'hommeaux if there's a clever way to write a variant of tests 34-36 without @rel
15:43:37 [RalphS]
ACTION: Ben ask Michael to write versions of tests 34-36 including all of @src, @href, and @resource
15:43:56 [RalphS]
Steven: I propose also duplicating these tests with @rev in place of @rel
15:44:29 [RalphS]
ACTION: Ben ask Michael to duplicate tests 34-36 with @rev in place of @rel
15:44:42 [RalphS]
ACTION: Ben ask Michael to duplicate tests 34-36 omitting @about
15:44:57 [RalphS]
zakim, move to next agendum
15:44:57 [Zakim]
agendum 3. "Report on SWD WG telecon" taken up [from RalphS]
15:45:11 [RalphS]
Ben: I gave a Task Force report to the SWD Working Group this past Tuesday
15:45:32 [RalphS]
... the chairs are a bit worried about our status, partly because we haven't reported a lot
15:45:38 [RalphS]
... I reminded them that we do have test cases
15:46:01 [RalphS]
... the SWD Working Group still has an open question whether the RDFa spec is REC track
15:46:16 [RalphS]
... I had an action to make sure the XHTML2 WG is going to review our specification
15:46:38 [RalphS]
Steven: you mean additional reviews from non-Task Force members? sure
15:46:51 [RalphS]
Ben: we have two reviewers for the syntax document from the SWD WG
15:47:22 [RalphS]
... I'll try to do a better job of publicizing the progress we've made
15:47:42 [ShaneM]
Note that the separate document xhtml-rdfa will also have test cases - this is an independent activity that has to do with modules etc.
15:47:56 [RalphS]
... the quality of the document we present to the SWD WG in mid-September will be a factor in them deciding whether RDFa spec is REC track
15:49:22 [RalphS]
Ralph: the REC Track question in SWD is largely a procedural question
15:49:32 [RalphS]
... it came up at the WG face-to-face in January
15:49:48 [RalphS]
... at that time the only public WD for RDFa syntax was part of the XHTML2 WD
15:49:58 [RalphS]
... and the XHTML2 charter was still open for discussion
15:50:14 [RalphS]
... so in January the SWD WG was concerned that there might not be a document done in time
15:50:35 [RalphS]
... the WG opened an issue on "RDFa to Rec track?" and it's never closed that issue
15:50:47 [RalphS]
... if we deliver the Syntax document in September the issue should be easily closed
15:50:54 [RalphS]
zakim, move to next agendum
15:50:54 [Zakim]
agendum 4. "Status of Documents" taken up [from RalphS]
15:51:14 [RalphS]
Steven: I'm working on the basic structure [of @@], need to add some examples
15:51:23 [RalphS]
Shane: Mark is working on the rules section
15:51:31 [RalphS]
... and I've put in the CURIE syntax into the current editor's draft
15:52:02 [RalphS]
... we'll keep the public URI updated as we commit changes. It's not yet updating automatically
15:52:33 [RalphS]
Steven: my goal is to complete the gross changes by tomorrow
15:52:47 [RalphS]
Shane: I've done most of what I'd planned except for the references section, which I hope to do by tomorrow
15:52:54 [RalphS]
Mark: I hope to have the rules section by tomorrow
15:53:04 [RalphS]
Ben: can we have a draft by Monday for TF review?
15:53:17 [RalphS]
Mark: I doubt we'll have the changes integrated by the end of Friday
15:54:47 [RalphS]
-> http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Drafts/#rdfa-syntax Syntax editor's draft
15:55:36 [RalphS]
ACTION: Shane send email to the TF list when the editor's draft is ready for the TF to read
15:56:04 [RalphS]
Shane: the editor's drafts cited above will be diff-marked
15:56:26 [RalphS]
Ben: I've committed a new editors' draft of the primer
15:56:36 [RalphS]
... all the markup has been updated to the current design
15:56:43 [RalphS]
... I need to add some @rev examples
15:57:00 [RalphS]
... I will commit a review version by Tuesday
15:57:25 [RalphS]
ACTION: Ben send mail to the TF list when the Primer editors' draft is ready for the TF to read
15:57:40 [RalphS]
Manu: I skimmed the Primer a month ago
15:57:51 [RalphS]
... many of the examples were high-level and seemed to focus mostly on FOAF
15:58:08 [RalphS]
... my biggest problem with the Primer was that it gave an overview but didn't motivate people why they should use RDFa
15:58:28 [RalphS]
... you might want examples of other content, not just People
15:58:53 [RalphS]
... e.g. the Microformats community needs to show that there are other things you can mark up than Events and People
15:59:14 [ShaneM]
If you are going to add useful examples, some sort of RSS annotation tie in would be good!
15:59:53 [RalphS]
Ben: yeah, making a Web page be its own RSS feed is an example I've wanted to write
16:00:33 [RalphS]
Manu: a 'choose your own adventure' sort of thing, with multiple paths, works well
16:00:43 [RalphS]
... e.g. a photo thread, a music thread, ...
16:00:52 [RalphS]
... but it's also dangerous to put all this in a single document
16:01:06 [RalphS]
... so perhaps links from the Primer to other use cases
16:01:32 [RalphS]
Ben: I'd love to see case studies
16:01:43 [RalphS]
Manu: we're working on a music recommendation engine that will use RDFa
16:02:35 [RalphS]
... linking hAudio files to a page citing an artist
16:04:26 [RalphS]
... I'll be happy to contribute this in the form of an extended example
16:05:08 [RalphS]
Ben: in next week's call I'll want us to be discussing specific changes in the draft documents
