Is it reasonable to think of concepts in 15:35:46 ...more that one scheme. If so, forks discussion as inScheme and isDefinedBy go in different directions 15:36:37 Guus: propose we put this on the agenda once we have Ralph's message 15:36:50 Jon: Disagree with some of the decisions we're making. 15:37:05 ...But don't have supporting evidence, but things "feel wrong". 15:37:25 Guus: We haven't actually made decisions yet. 15:37:47 Alistair: Jon refers to e.g. decision to deprecate inScheme and use isDefinedBY instead 15:37:49 Jon: Yes 15:38:14 Alistair: Justification is that copncepts get used in different schemes. 15:38:31 Guus: Discussion in Amsterdam are that current semantics of isDefinedBY are the same as inScheme 15:38:57 Alistair: What do we mean by Ralph's interpretation? 15:39:06 ...do we simply mean functional? 15:39:37 Guus: Rationale in going from inScheme to isDefinedBy was that semantics of 15:39:54 ...inScheme seemed to be the same as isDefinedBy. So go for a general non-SKOS solution 15:40:26 Ralph: circular argument. isDefinedBy has such loose semantics, so such a claim seems unsatisfying 15:41:12 Quote was: sDefinedBy may be used to indicate an rdf vocab in which a resource is described 15:41:28 Jon: Is a concept secheme the same as an rdf vocabulary? 15:41:57 Guus: If we have evidence from use cases, we simply reopen the issue. 15:42:17 Jon: It's not whether or not it works, it's about concept scheme == rdf vocabulary 15:42:38 Alistair: Made a statement about SKOS concept schemes and OWL ontologies, but no 15:42:49 ...statement about "RDF Vocabularies". 15:43:20 Guus: Is this different because it would allow linking to an OWL vocabluary rather than a concept scheme 15:43:41 Jon: WOrding of isDefinedBy talks about rdf vocabularies. 15:44:03 Antoine: Can see a problem. Original guide says that inscheme is a link bwteeen concept and concept 15:44:21 From http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/wiki/SKOS/Reference/ConceptSchemes ... 15:44:22 "The choice to leave the formal semantics of skos:ConceptScheme undefined has been made to allow different design patterns to be explored for using SKOS in combination with more formal languages such as OWL, and for using SKOS with query languages such as SPARQL. 15:44:24 For example, interpreting skos:ConceptScheme as a sub-class of owl:Ontology would be consistent with the SKOS semantics. This would also be consistent with using owl:imports to make logical import statements between SKOS Concept Schemes. 15:44:26 Interpreting skos:ConceptScheme as a sub-class of the class of named RDF graphs would also be consistent with the SKOS semantics. This would also be consistent with using the name (URI) of a SKOS Concept Scheme in SPARQL queries as the name of an RDF graph, to establish, for example, the provenance of a semantic relationship between two SKOS Conceptual Resources." 15:44:27 ...scheme it's part of. No requirement that it has to give a meaning. isDefinedBy we'd expect 15:44:31 some *definition* 15:45:14 Except for the semantic condition stated above, the formal semantics of skos:ConceptScheme are undefined. 15:45:22 +??P24 15:46:13 guus has joined #swd 15:46:26 Alistair: talks through definition 15:46:47 ...this allows use of owl:imports rather than defining a new import mechanism 15:47:47 ...wanted to find solutions to problems without trying to redefine or invent our own solutions 15:48:15 -??P24 15:48:16 Guus: We should reopen the issue regarding inScheme, but not w.r.t. containment, 15:48:30 ...rather the choice of skos:inScheme and rdfs:isDefinedBy 15:48:58 Alistair: Several different flavours of inScheme. 15:49:32 Guus: Solution might be that someone proposes that we leave inScheme as a subproperty of isDefinedBy 15:49:47 Ralph: Don't see how that helps. What's the range? 15:50:13 ...understand the range of isDefinedBy to be RDF vocabulary (whatever that is) 15:50:22 Guus: And range of inScheme is conceptSCheme? 15:51:08 Ralph: Concept scheme doesn't necessarily describe concets. It;s a grouping of con cepts. 15:51:35 Alistair: We never really got into this much detail. 15:52:01 ...didn't get into the whether things were defined. Used language like concepts "participate" ina scheme 15:52:02 -Clay 15:52:13 Ralph: Where., as a user, should I find a definition for a concept? 15:52:37 Alistair: derefence the URI 15:53:42 Sean: confused now about derefencing URI and isDefinedBy 15:54:18 If it's at all helpful, the "formal" definition of a "concept system" from ISO 1087 is "a set of concepts structured according to the relations among them". This doesn't necessarily say that a concept system is an ontology, but is somewhat stronger than a simple collection of concepts. 15:54:36 Alistair: If you're using slash namespace, get lots and lots of redirects. 15:54:51 +[LC] 15:54:52 zakim, LC is Clay 15:54:52 +Clay; got it 15:54:56 ...if you have an isDefinedBy then you don't need to get it every time. 15:55:02 [welcome back, Clay] 15:55:20 Ralph: That's an operational argument. Given a property URI, how do you find the namespace within which that 15:55:27 ...property is defined. 15:55:53 Alistair: Why can't you dereference a property URI? 15:56:13 Ralph: YOu can. Not clear where in a chain of redirects you encounter the namespace 15:56:31 ...can make some guesses. 15:57:40 Jon: Can somebody explain why we're not defining a concept scheme as a collection? 15:57:53 ...then use isMember 15:58:03 Ralph: Does that satisfy the use cases? 15:58:08 Jon: Not certain. 15:58:27 Alistair: Reason why we might not go there is that some people think of statements to be part of a concept scheme. 15:58:39 ...included that in original wording. 15:58:56 s/isMember/rdfs:member/ 15:58:58 Guus: We have to round up this discussion. 15:59:22 ...For OWL ontologies, we never explicitly defined containment. 15:59:49 ...Reluctant to open a can of worms. However, we do need tio 16:00:06 ...continue this discussion. Will someone reopen the issue? Initially 16:00:16 ...on inScheme vs isDefinedBy. 16:00:52 It would be great Jon could point to some use cases re. potential issues with inScheme 16:01:35 ACTION: Antoine to summarise inScheme vs isDefinedBy and decide whether or not to reopen the issue. 16:02:09 Guus: For next week would like to discuss Concept Schemes vs OWL Ontologies. 16:02:21 [likely regrets from me for next week, due to W3C big meeting week] 16:03:14 -Daniel 16:03:16 ACTION: Alistair and Guus to prepare material for next week on Concept Schemes vs OWL Ontologies 16:03:24 Topic: Vocabulary Management 16:03:27 dlrubin has left #swd 16:03:36 Elisa: Vit and Elise working on editors draft. 16:03:54 /me zakim, mute alistair 16:03:59 ...trying to get front matter in and organise things. 16:04:19 ...Have posted an editors draft that pulls together evetyhgin from the wiki 16:04:38 ...but didn't pul in stuff from Best Practies WG. 16:05:05 ...Have now posted a first editors draft that captures what was in the wiki, boiler plate things, 16:05:18 ...italicised sections for comments. 16:05:45 ...Want to go back to original idea for saying what we're going to talk about here 16:05:55 ...is identification of versions rather than version management. 16:06:09 http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/Vocab/principles 16:06:21 -> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/Vocab/principles Vocab Management editors' draft 16:06:43 [I will add a citation to that on the WG home page] 16:06:47 ...Additional food for thought in research items.
