Agenda building

http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/wiki/ThirdF2FAgenda

scribe: will assume until 2pm it is reasonable to have Silvia on phone
... will make proposal to put discussion points into time slots
... a discussion on each section of the WD

nessy: suggestion to have another HTTP 2-way / 4-way discussion to get Conrad's input
... wants to be present for that

raphael: is planned and will take place in the morning

PREPARATION OF WORKING DRAFT

raphael: go through section per section and distribute actions
... Introduction

nessy: volunteers to write the introduction

<scribe> ACTION: nessy to write introduction [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/04/08-mediafrag-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - nessy

<scribe> ACTION: silvia to write introduction [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/04/08-mediafrag-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-58 - Write introduction [on Silvia Pfeiffer - due 2009-04-15].

raphael: discussion on order of the first three sections

<raphael> Silvia: i need to revisit the framework, side conditions

<raphael> ... re: issue with transcoding

<raphael> ... this should go first

<raphael> ... and then talk about the use cases and scenarios and ultimately, the dimensions

jackjansen: if requirements move up, we need something that gets people in the right frame of mind

<raphael> Jack: put the requirements first might break the flow of the reading

Silvia: most sections are still independent blocks
... we need lead-over text
... introduction will set the stage, requirements set the framework

Jack: maybe move use cases into appendix

raphael: use cases are core to the understanding or our challenges and provide motivation for the dimensions
... might be interesting to move the "requirements" up - might be renamed to "side conditions"

Jack: agrees to move up "side conditions"
... requirements are really section 5

raphael: new order is 1, 2, 4, 3, 5
... rename 4 -> side conditions
... rename 5 -> requirements

nessy: agree

Jack: agree

<raphael> +1

<erik> what about typical UC per axis (temporal/spatial/track/named) to get the reader acquainted with the problems (and special cases to appendix)?

<scribe> ACTION: silvia to make these changes and other changes to sections 1-5 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/04/08-mediafrag-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-59 - Make these changes and other changes to sections 1-5 [on Silvia Pfeiffer - due 2009-04-15].

raphael will make structural changes to WD directly after the teleconf

scribe: silvia can then work on it when she has time

erik: there are a lot of use cases and it may be interesting to move some to appendix

<raphael> Erik: i wonder if the individual use cases should be ordered differently, following the various dimensions: time, space, track, name

<raphael> Silvia: I think it is better to group them as they are, by functionality

erik: they make for fast reading and need to be part of the reading flow

raphael: what about moving the out-of-scope cases into a separate section

jack: I like it that the use cases are ordered by usage
... problem is that there are so many and they slow down reading speed
... 17 different use cases may be too much detail

raphael: original charter had 2 documents - a use cases & requirements ... and a technology document
... we now have all in one document
... we can later split documents again if it is too much to read
... can discuss at F2F
... should leave it for now
... so we have the current status together in a single document

jack: ok leave it as is

nessy: agree

raphael: section 5
... replace the numbers with req-xx
... and move the table to an appendix

<raphael> Raphael: replace the 1,2,3 in the fitness table by human readable labels: fit, partial, etc.

jack: instead of having the table 5.5, it makes more sense to list the types of capabilities containers have

nessy to add a note to the table & running text that we ask people for input to the table to complete it

<raphael> Silvia: add also an editorial note in the main text to warn the commnity we need their input to complete this table

nessy: I will add these changes

raphael: section 6
... improved heaps

erik: if we should move stuff to appendix, we can live with that
... table in 6.3 still needs heaps of input

raphael: MPEG-7 has track references

nessy: HTML5 should be removed, since it will do whatever we define
... replace "temporal URI" with "temporal URI/Ogg" to include the track addressing, to
... "Annodex" would be correct, too, but "temporal URI" is the best known spec out of this

raphael: should section 6 be moved down in the document, so we can get specifications first?

erik: I can live with that

raphael: I will move this section down and do all structural changes on document directly after the meeting before anyone else will edit again

jack: editorial suggestion - 6.2 is formatted completely different from 6.1
... formatting of 6.1 is great - could we apply it to 6.2 ?

erik: will make changes

<scribe> ACTION: erik to apply changes to section 6 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/04/08-mediafrag-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-60 - Apply changes to section 6 [on Erik Mannens - due 2009-04-15].

raphael: section 7
... in section 7.3 we stop talking about fragments, but talk about sections or segments
... 7.3 needs an introductory note

jack: I will create an introductory note and explain that it can be either a fragment or a query
... we need some standard terminology

raphael: do we call it dimensions or axis

general consensus on "dimension

jack: do we prefer "temporal" over "time" - "spatial" over "space" - "named" over "name"?
... track will stay track

<raphael> +1

jack: all others become "temporal", "spatial", "named"

nessy: +1

jack: I tend to use "clipping" for temporal and "cropping" for spatial
... is that a good idea or should we just use one?

nessy: "clipping" has a different implication for audio ... maybe "cutting"?

jack: but we use "audio clip"

nessy: ok, fair enough

jack: 7.4 might need more structure ... but how
... is still very incomplete
... need to continue collecting semantic issues

<raphael> Semantic issue: http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/tracker/issues/3

jack: restructure when we have a more complete collection

nessy: suggestion to add a note to the section explaining the need to contribute more semantic issues

jack: ok, will do

raphael: section 8
... Yves pointed out that 4-way contained errors

Yves: did not understand from temporal URI where the resolution of time-bytes happens

nessy: I will go back and read that section again and make sure the 4-way is correctly specified

<scribe> ACTION: silvia and conrad to review 4-way handshake specification [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/04/08-mediafrag-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-61 - And conrad to review 4-way handshake specification [on Silvia Pfeiffer - due 2009-04-15].

<Yves> and I note that there is still a discussion on the ML ;)

raphael: should reply be 204 in initial handshake for 4-way handshake

Yves: if you're sending content, then no

jack: that is missing in the specification

nessy: header is being sent in first handshake

jack: in 2-way handshake this may be missing, too - but it's more complicated

raphael: silvia & conrad - please make changes in wiki ... I will then sync the wiki with the WD myself

nessy: ok
