17:16:20 <Ashok> Topic:  Item 3 on Agenda Issue 56 -- Abbreviated URI's
17:16:33 <Ashok> HT:  They have been waiting for this 
17:17:27 <Ashok> Draft from HT ... subsequentlt revised
17:17:49 <Ashok> s/subsequentlt/subsequently/
17:18:09 <ht> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2008Mar/0093.html
17:18:47 <Ashok> Original wording
17:18:50 <noah> Second para:
17:18:50 <noah>    In this connection we find the prose about CURIEs the current RDFA
17:18:51 <noah>    spec. [2] troubling.
17:18:58 <noah> Is there a typo in that?
17:19:06 <Stuart> q?
17:19:20 <noah> Should that be >in the current RDFa spec<?
17:19:26 <ht> yes
17:19:30 <noah> tnx
17:20:04 <timbl> "  If you really think you must allow for not only the use of CURIEs,
17:20:04 <timbl>    but of the union of [-form CURIEs with URIs, in new specs etc.,
17:20:04 <timbl>    then you should at least note that this involves a hostage to
17:20:05 <timbl>    fortune with respect to future versions of the URI spec, which
17:20:05 <timbl>    might conceivably introduce URIs with initial square brackets.
17:20:05 <timbl> "
17:21:13 <Ashok> Tim:  URI's will not start with [  ... no need to say this
17:21:31 <Zakim> +Raman
17:22:03 <Ashok> Noah:  I agree to removing it
17:22:17 <Ashok> HT:  Happy to remove 
17:23:08 <timbl> "We would _much_ prefer a proposal which made clear that it was only
17:23:08 <timbl>    addressing the need for an abbreviated URI format in non-XML
17:23:08 <timbl>    languages, or new XML languages, or new contexts within old XML
17:23:08 <timbl>    languages, where _only_ such abbreviated forms are allowed."
17:23:56 <ht> q+ to query the IRI parallel
17:24:19 <Ashok> Tim:  I'm worried about pushing them down the path of ... only non-XML or new XML languages
17:24:34 <Norm> Practically, this means *requiring* the square brackets, right?
17:24:42 <timbl> no IRI consensus ... ah
17:24:48 <Stuart> ack ht
17:24:48 <Zakim> ht, you wanted to query the IRI parallel
17:24:56 <Ashok> TVR:  Agrees
17:25:22 <timbl> q?
17:25:28 <Ashok> HT:  Then we need to go to IETF and say "revise URI spec"
17:25:48 <Norm> q+ to observe that CURIEs don't rely on XML Namespaces either
17:26:33 <noah> q+ to say IRIs and CURIE's are different because of prefix bindings
17:27:10 <timbl> q+
17:27:13 <Ashok> HT:  But I don't want to do it ... URI's are just fine.  Case has not been made to change the was HTML is written
17:27:48 <Ashok> HT:  There is a case for folks whi are authoring N3 by hand ...
17:27:52 <timbl> q+ to point out there is a serious requirement for RDFa .. and this turns out to have implications on HTML atributes
17:27:55 <Stuart> ack norm
17:27:55 <Zakim> Norm, you wanted to observe that CURIEs don't rely on XML Namespaces either
17:28:43 <Ashok> NW:  It's a new kind of abbreviation for URIs
17:29:02 <Stuart> ack noah
17:29:02 <Zakim> noah, you wanted to say IRIs and CURIE's are different because of prefix bindings
17:30:21 <ht> HTML _has_ a 'prefix' mechanism, which is the base URI mechanism -- works in HTML and XHTML
17:30:29 <Stuart> ack timbl
17:30:29 <Zakim> timbl, you wanted to point out there is a serious requirement for RDFa .. and this turns out to have implications on HTML atributes
17:30:35 <ht> I look forward to hearing from Timbl what the RDFa requirement is
17:30:59 <Ashok> Tim:  The reinvention of namesapces is a separate bug
17:31:15 <ht> q+ to agree with the way TimBL started
17:35:43 <timbl> TimBL:  this is one of hte many cases in which we havea tradeoff between the eventual clenliness of the system abnd the compatibility  with history.  For the sake of posterity, we should have one type of attribute, one routine to parse it which will in future accept [Curie] .  For history, we will ban the use of these in any attributesd defined today.   neither situation is ideal.
17:36:37 <Ashok> HT:  The other impt thing you said people are going to wrire RDFa in the same way as they write N3 now ... 
17:37:01 <timbl> TimBL:  if people are going to write RDFa like they write RDF/XML or N3 today, then they will use many namespaces (10-20) and use ach oe many times, so they  
17:37:16 <Stuart> ack ht
17:37:16 <Zakim> ht, you wanted to agree with the way TimBL started
17:37:17 <Ashok> HT:  by hand using URIs from multiple domains which require multiple prefixes
17:37:19 <timbl> really need namespaces, or the document becaoems large and unreadable.
17:37:54 <Ashok> Tim:  Not only nhand authoring affect readability and length of file
17:38:28 <Ashok> Not only hand authoring also affects readability and length of file
17:38:51 <dorchard> Maybe use EXI would solve the length problem for machines :-)
17:39:01 <noah> q+ to say, this makes me wonder how hard to push back
17:39:10 <Ashok> HT:  Remembering when to type [ ] and when not will be a huge pain
17:39:13 <timbl> Having to remember when you can use [] and when you can't , in other words when a given attribute was historically introduced, is a real pain.
17:39:24 <dorchard> I'm a bit worried about which optimizations this is really for.
17:39:53 <timbl> It is very tempting to  design other solutions in this call.
17:40:52 <Stuart> q?
17:41:38 <timbl> When was the last time that people looked at mount point type use of virtual schemas as abbreviations for URIs, in other words declare that the prefix and the schem name are in the same space?
17:41:46 <Stuart> ack noah
17:41:46 <Zakim> noah, you wanted to say, this makes me wonder how hard to push back
17:41:54 <Ashok> HT:  We agree RDF languages need this ... it shd be allowed to proceed
17:42:05 <timbl> @prefix doi: <http://h.doi.org/lookup/>.
17:42:47 <Ashok> Noah:  I don't see a way to do this for the scope they are going for
17:43:29 <Ashok> Moah:  If it was only for XML language I ws have some trepidation ... N3 is not an XML languages
17:43:39 <Ashok> s/Moah/Noah/
17:44:41 <Stuart> q?
17:44:46 <Ashok> Noah:  Can we say "use it only where there is a need  ... not a universal solution"
17:45:29 <Stuart> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2008Mar/0069
17:45:38 <Ashok> SW:  Can we agree on everything except the 3rd item?
17:46:16 <Ashok> Tim:  Instead of removing can we point out the problem in both directions
17:47:17 <Ashok> SW:  We need some text we can say yea or nay to
17:48:57 <Ashok> Noah:  When you try to generalize it you get into real trouble
17:49:25 <Ashok> Noah:  If you apply genarlly you will get more breakage
17:49:46 <timbl> "One can imagine an alternative proposal which made clear that it was only
17:49:46 <timbl>    addressing the need for an abbreviated URI format in non-XML
17:49:48 <timbl>    languages, or new XML languages, or new contexts within old XML

17:49:52 <timbl>    is, a  position taken _against_ any
17:49:54 <timbl>    possibility the CURIEs might be used where URIs are called for in
17:49:57 <timbl>    XML languages today.     It would though have to acknowledge the possible negative
17:49:58 <timbl>    consequences of success in going down this path, namely that
17:50:00 <timbl>    ordinary users will not understand that the [-CURIE is not a

17:50:30 <timbl> q+
17:50:31 <Norm> Say nothing?
17:51:25 <Norm> q+ to say I think the TAG should make points 1, 2, and 4
17:51:55 <Ashok> SW:  The question is -- can we agree on the rest of the draft except item 3
17:53:32 <Ashok> TVR:  I wd object to item 1 because it seems to say we have not have a conversation with them
17:53:55 <Ashok> TVR:  I can live with item 1
17:54:38 <Ashok> TVR:  I can live with item 2
17:55:28 <ht> q+ to propose a placeholder for 3 so we can send the rest of the input
17:56:03 <Ashok> TVR:  I think item 4 is a good thing to say
17:56:40 <Norm> I'm sensitive to raman's comment on point 1, I'd be in favor of making it clear that we aren't asking for *our* clarification but for clarification *in the spec*
17:56:42 <Ashok> HT:  I beleive the remaining items are editorial
17:56:56 <timbl> q+ to propose a replacement for 3 in http://www.w3.org/2008/04/curie.html
