Then link to it. 21:26:32 Harold, here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2009Jan/0005.html 21:43:19 DaveReynolds has joined #rif 21:44:04 +DaveReynolds 21:58:46 zakim, who is on the phone? 21:58:46 On the phone I see Mike_Dean, RIF_Meeting_Room, DaveReynolds 21:58:47 RIF_Meeting_Room has Christian, Gary, Harold, Adrian, Jos, Paul, Micheal_Kifer, Changhai, Sandro 21:58:52 starting again. 22:00:57 PaulVincent has joined #rif 22:01:00 http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/37 22:01:05 http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/38 22:01:11 scribenick PaulVincent 22:01:21 scribenick: PaulVincent 22:01:45 First afternoon topic: Interoperability with XML 22:02:29 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2008Oct/0046.html 22:02:56 csma has joined #rif 22:04:56 group is looking at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2008Oct/0046.html 22:05:15 Gary: look at example (see link above) 22:05:32 I 22:05:47 Gary - could you speak closer to a mike? 22:06:52 better? 22:07:01 Slightly, thanks. 22:07:40 Sandro: syntax on curies eg should not have angled brackets around them as they are not IRIs 22:08:37 Gary: This has as simple standard frame naming from schema definitions 22:11:39 Note: this XML doc to frame mapping is for the convenience of understanding RIF syntax versus XML docs... it would not be necessary to consider this at runtime (when interchanging rules against XML docs...) 22:16:32 Jos: can the full identifier such as /shiporder/item/title not just be replaced by title? 22:17:12 Gary: problem is these named elements can be repeated with different types: element identifier is their path 22:17:40 Gary: missing info in this scheme includes order, cardinality, ... 22:30:07 This proposal would also be compatible with using sawsdl to annotate the schema which a URI for the types and properties if you want to. 22:30:19 s/which/with/ 22:31:36 Gary: Equivalent to JAXB mapping 22:38:57 Jos: I still don't understand why you want the whole path, but we can move on. 22:42:05 Discussion of Gary's General Rules for XML-Frame mapping ... 22:42:27 CSMA: points 1-3 are still available from the schema. 22:43:09 Jos - the names in XML schema are context sensitive, somewhat like nested structs in C or nested static classes in Java. So property foo on complex type A can, for example, have a different range from property foo on complex type B. They are not the "same" foo so when assigning URIs making them different URIs makes sense. 22:43:19 +ChrisW 22:44:13 CSMA: ... hence that a RIF engine has different requirements for XML-to-frame versus an interchange for engines that will use the schema natively... 22:47:12 Are you talking about xml schema component designators? 22:47:25 http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-ref/ 22:47:28 XML Schema Component Designators. 22:49:36 -ChrisW 22:50:10 +ChrisW 22:51:12 Adrian: What about xs:any 22:51:27 Sandro: ... then you're in the land of schema-free XML, and none of this applies. 22:51:44 Discussion on issues with Garys proposal 22:52:50 CSMA: some of these are for translation of XML docs into RIF which is not required for all RIF use cases (eg where PRD is running rules in an external engine) 22:53:36 Sandro: # and ## for ground facts should be in core 22:54:24 Sandro - you may have to fight for that. The divergence between ## and rdfs causes me problems I'm trying to keep ## out of Core :-) 22:55:39 Move to CSMA proposal at http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wiki/RIF%2BXML_data-schema 22:56:48 For the record: on Gary's proposal, the rules don't explicitly say that the simple type mapping is done but it should be. So in the example the price value would map to "9.90"^^xsd:decimal. 22:57:02 +1 DaveReynolds 22:59:47 CSMA discussing Named element selection: named descendent 23:00:40 csma: note that I used xs:double cast in the first example, since it's schema-less. 23:02:11 +Hassan_Ait-Kaci 23:03:04 CSMA discussing sub-element query: child 23:05:25 CSMA now discussing attribute query: attribute 23:07:42 I'm going to sign off in a moment. 23:08:00 Goodnight, Dave 23:08:32 CSMA discusses With an XML Schema for the target XML document 23:08:51 any thoughts on this stuff, DaveReynolds ? 23:08:51 One comment on the approach which I'll leave with you :-) Does this proposal assume well -striped XML? The use of # suggests that it does. 23:09:10 -DaveReynolds 23:14:03 CSMA discusses Schema-element selection: schema-element descendant 23:20:25 Jos: Can csma's proposal be done just by providing a predicate for xpath? 23:22:17 Jos: It would avoid this odd mixing of syntaxes 23:23:21 csma: eh then the whole query woul dhave to be in xpath 23:24:00 -ChrisW 23:24:40 +ChrisW 23:26:24 -ChrisW 23:27:36 +ChrisW 23:36:15 csma: on board ---- ?x # ex:/descendant::shiporder 23:36:33 CSMA: X # FX:/DESCENDENT::SHIPORDER 23:38:31 -ChrisW 23:39:20 cmsa: My proposal --- ?x @ tns:/descendant::shiporder ?x[child::shipto->?y] 23:40:23 cmsa: Gary's Proposal --- ?x # tns:shiporder DEEP: ?x[tns:/shiporder/shipto -> ?y ] FLAT: ?x[tns:/shipto->?y] 23:42:13 -Mike_Dean 23:43:01 Sandro: test case --- you cannot quanltify over slot names in csma's proposal. 23:43:53 sandro: csma, you're providing a bunch of external/magic slot names and types. 23:44:24 jos: Gary's doesn't need/use externals. csma's uses externals. 23:44:30 Hassan has joined #rif 23:46:50 csma: ... and ?y[child::name->"Ola Nordmann"] 23:47:53 csma: equivalent to ?x[child::shipto/child::name->""Ola Nordmann"] and we could start from root. 23:51:01 jos: how about a general embedding? every XML document mapped to a RIF formula? 23:51:18 sandro: Yeah, you could use a trimmed down version of the PSVI (post-schema-validation infoset). 23:55:21 sandro: Is something like this necessary for PRD's success? 23:56:09 changhai: I think so; I think I like the flexibility in the direction of csma's proposal.... 23:57:02 ... I'm concerned about how we get collections of values into RIF. 23:58:15 csma: Use of type information from xml schema is included explicitely in mine. I think you can use it the same way in Gary's.
