15:06:51 [Steven]
And you have a phone where you can't program it in?

15:20:59 [mhausenblas]
RRSAgent, make logs public
15:21:10 [RalphS]
Ben: goal for today is to decide whether or not to send these editors' drafts to the SWD WG for review
15:21:45 [mhausenblas]
-> http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2007/ED-rdfa-syntax-20070918/ Syntax
15:22:11 [RalphS]
Shane: to my mind there's nothing but dotting i's and crossing t's before handing it to the WG
15:22:25 [RalphS]
... definition of XHTML module that supports RDFa is major task for this week
15:22:36 [RalphS]
... I did all the suggested editorial changes
15:23:03 [RalphS]
Mark: regarding @instanceof in the syntax spec,
15:23:13 [RalphS]
... I introduced "current element identifier" into the text
15:23:39 [RalphS]
... I currently say current element identifier is set by one of these attributes and @instanceof sets the rdf:type of the current element
15:24:22 [benadida]
zakim, mute TomB
15:24:22 [Zakim]
TomB should now be muted
15:25:02 [mhausenblas]
ScribeNick: mhausenblas
15:25:16 [mhausenblas]
TomB: Regarding the A'dam meeting
15:25:26 [RalphS_]
RalphS_ has joined #rdfa
15:25:27 [mhausenblas]
... how much time will be needed
15:26:02 [mhausenblas]
... need to have an overview on what other SWD members need to look at
15:26:38 [mhausenblas]
Ben: By next Tuesday we'll have a frozen version of the documents
15:26:47 [mhausenblas]
that is the Primer and the Syntax
15:27:04 [RalphS_]
scribenick: ralphs_
15:27:59 [RalphS_]
Mark: I plan to attend the f2f in person but I'd prefer that the RDFa discussion take place on Monday
15:28:15 [RalphS_]
Tom: RDFa currently on the agenda for Tuesday, but I'll talk with Guus about this
15:28:30 [RalphS_]
... the WG will probably need a morning and afternoon session for SKOS
15:28:50 [RalphS_]
... it would be awkward to insert RDFa between these two sessions
15:29:36 [RalphS_]
Ben: I plan to attend by phone
15:29:56 [RalphS_]
... so a morning (in Amsterdam) would work well for me
15:30:03 [RalphS]
scribenick: ralphs
15:30:37 [Steven]
zakim, who is noisy?
15:30:52 [Zakim]
Steven, listening for 12 seconds I heard sound from the following: Manu (11%), Michael_Hausenblas (4%), benadida (81%)
15:32:35 [RalphS]
Ben: we'd probably want to discuss the strategy for RDFa
15:32:44 [RalphS]
... Mark and Steven would be good at doing this
15:33:04 [RalphS]
... so up to 3 hours on the agenda if possible
15:33:10 [Steven]
How many people will be at the FtF?
15:33:21 [TomB]
q+
15:33:26 [RalphS]
Mark: I'd like to discuss the broader vision too
15:33:31 [Steven]
q+
15:33:36 [Steven]
ack TIm
15:33:41 [Steven]
ack Tom
15:33:50 [RalphS]
Tom: length of agenda depends on what sort of technical feedback is wanted
15:34:03 [RalphS]
... if the group is being asked to form an opinion on technical issues, then
15:34:12 [RalphS]
... (1) the readings need to be listed on the agenda in advance and
15:34:22 [RalphS]
... (2) sufficient time for discussion needs to be scheduled
15:34:31 [RalphS]
... so a demonstration of technology might help in the discussion
15:35:05 [RalphS]
Steven: should we give a tutorial and demo and expect that the documents have been at least skimmed?
15:35:26 [RalphS]
Tom: depends on the questions you want to ask of the WG -- will they be asked to give an opinion on technical issues?
15:35:46 [RalphS]
... about a dozen WG participants will be present
15:35:56 [RalphS]
q+
15:36:27 [RalphS]
Ralph: a tutorial, if given, should be brief; we expect the WG participants to read
15:36:34 [Zakim]
-TomB
15:38:57 [RalphS]
Mark: the current Syntax editors' draft is clear that @instanceof won't simply inherit from the element but will use @about, @rev, @href, etc.
15:39:04 [RalphS]
... and currently gives priority to @about
15:39:29 [RalphS]
... there is one section that needs more work; 6.2.2.
15:40:06 [RalphS]
... now that Syntax has been merged with the modularization document this needs polishing
15:40:21 [RalphS]
... won't be deeply confusing to the WG but somethings could be clearer
15:40:49 [RalphS]
... should take me only 2-3 hours to fix that
15:41:02 [RalphS]
Ben: what about @rel without prefix values?
15:41:26 [RalphS]
Shane: this is listed in the issue list in the document
15:42:12 [RalphS]
Mark: I can work on 6.2.2.2 tomorrow morning
15:43:29 [RalphS]
Shane: when I put up a new editors' draft tomorrow, it will have a diff to the previous draft
15:44:28 [RalphS]

-> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/primer/20070918/ Primer
15:45:09 [RalphS]
Ben: wasn't as much work to do on the Primer; lots of comments but easy to integrate
15:45:24 [RalphS]
... I want to highlight the markup to show what was added in each step
15:46:10 [RalphS]
... I've integrated all the comments except highlighting markup and an example of @href on a non-anchor
15:46:33 [RalphS]
... I haven't found a way to work @href on non-A in an easy way; may leave this to a case study
15:46:52 [RalphS]
Manu: this seems like a corner case; the Primer is pretty good as it stands

Topic: @instanceof, @rel w/o prefix
15:51:27 [RalphS]
Michael: [cites DanBri's recent message on conformance testing]
15:51:45 [Steven]
s/DanBri/DanC/
15:51:49 [RalphS]
Mark: I'd not been thinking about extra triple use case in terms of conformance
15:52:24 [RalphS]
... today I started thinking about using named graphs
15:52:36 [RalphS]
... suppose RDFa put all its triples into a kind of default named graph
15:52:57 [RalphS]
... any extra triples my tool wants to generate should go into a separate graph
15:53:29 [RalphS]
Ben: this sounds like an interesting technical solution but is there a more generic viewpoint; e.g. a switch in the tool to turn off extra triples?
15:53:34 [RalphS]
Mark: testing is only one scenario
15:53:48 [Steven]
q+ to ask what the test suite tests
15:53:49 [RalphS]
... suppose I want to do more processing on IMG -- spot IMG elements and put more into the triple store
15:54:17 [RalphS]
... in the future we might decide that there's a mapping between IMG and dcmi:image
15:54:34 [RalphS]
q+ to be very conservative about 'named graphs'
15:55:00 [RalphS]
Ben: instead of specifying a named graph solution, I'm suggesting a mode in which the implementation generates only the triples specified
15:55:03 [mhausenblas]
q+
15:55:29 [msporny]
q+ 'named graph' concept applied to Microformats and RDFa
15:55:38 [RalphS]
Mark: we could use a different terminology than named graph but with this kind of approach we can avoid future conflicts; the triples are in separate buckets
15:55:50 [RalphS]
... we can say 'the default graph should look like this ...'
15:56:08 [RalphS]
... the test case queries could stay the same but could also be much tougher
15:56:13 [msporny]
q+ to use 'named graph' concept applied to Microformats and RDFa
15:56:20 [Zakim]
Steven, you wanted to ask what the test suite tests
15:56:34 [RalphS]
Steven: the test suite has to be clear about what it's testing
15:56:40 [RalphS]
... I don't believe it is a conformance tester
15:56:53 [RalphS]
... rather, it's there to be able to demonstrate CR exit criteria
15:57:17 [RalphS]
... we're actually checking that the specification is consistent and matches what the implementations actually do
15:57:54 [RalphS]
Shane: W3C doesn't actually have a concept of 'conformance testing'
15:58:45 [Zakim]
RalphS, you wanted to be very conservative about 'named graphs'
15:59:33 [RalphS]
Ralph: I don't want to be defining named graphs
15:59:44 [RalphS]
... or default graphs for the purposes of an RDFa spec
15:59:57 [RalphS]
Mark: the idea of 'named graph' seems to be a way to define a list of triples
16:00:06 [RalphS]
... we could say that RDFa produces one or more graphs
16:00:29 [RalphS]
Ralph: seems a huge can of worms
16:00:50 [RalphS]
Mark: I have sympathy for the concern of how extra triples are characterized
16:01:18 [RalphS]
... and how implementations that create additional triples today may be protected from future versions of RDFa spec
16:01:43 [Zakim]
-Steven

16:02:48 [RalphS]
Michael: please look at the test case FAQ again
16:03:01 [RalphS]
... we were not planning to put the test cases on the REC track anyway
16:03:19 [RalphS]
... I'm prepared to make whatever changes to the tests that the TF requires
16:03:39 [RalphS]
Manu: the named graphs concept is likely to become an issue much sooner than we may realize
16:04:08 [RalphS]
... FireFox operator will raise this question of partitioned triple stores
16:04:21 [RalphS]
... we can already see namespace conflicts between microformats and RDFa
16:05:03 [RalphS]
Ben: perhaps we're looking at the wrong level of abstraction
16:05:16 [RalphS]
... consider FireFox with multiple parsers
16:05:39 [RalphS]
... the results from each parser may need to be partitioned
16:05:54 [RalphS]
... this is perhaps a best practices issue, not an RDFa issue
16:06:01 [RalphS]
Manu: implementors will look for some direction
16:06:34 [RalphS]
Ben: but implementors won't expect the RDFa spec to say how to partition from, e.g., E-RDF
16:06:57 [RalphS]
Manu: since the spec doesn't give any direction at all, we end up discussing it over and over
16:07:24 [RalphS]
... it's not this Working Group's job to define this behavior but implementors will need something
16:08:02 [RalphS]
Mark: perhaps all we need is to indicate that the RDFa processor says these triples are generated and if the implementation generates more it may need a partitioning mechanism
16:09:26 [RalphS]
ACTION: Manu draft some partitioning language that is technology-neutral

Michael: I volunteer to create graphics on request
16:10:55 [RalphS]
Ben: I see opportunities for technical graphics in the Syntax spec
16:11:02 [RalphS]
... I'd love to have a graphic in the Primer
16:11:39 [RalphS]
Shane: perhaps HTML with the RDFa highlighted for, e.g. FOAF, and a business card with the same information highlighted
16:12:05 [RalphS]
Ben: ideally the example would be something that doesn't also have a simple microformat representation
16:12:25 [RalphS]

16:12:53 [RalphS]
