- echo?
- 15:07:36 [pgearon]
- bglimm: providing summary of entailment call
- 15:07:48 [sandro]
- (the echo is probably bglimm, and will go away when she mutes again, I bet.)
- 15:07:49 [pgearon]
- bglimm: started on ISSUE-28, entailment update
- 15:08:17 [pgearon]
- bglimm: ISSUE-34 interaction with blank nodes, now closed
- 15:08:47 [pgearon]
- bglimm: ISSUE-42 RDFS entailment with inconsistency
- 15:09:04 [pgearon]
- bglimm: agreed with current implementations raising errors
- 15:09:09 [LeeF]
- bglimm: systems may/should raise an error for inconsistency
- 15:09:32 [pgearon]
- bglimm: ISSUE-47 (?) entailment on graphs or endpoints
- 15:10:18 [pgearon]
- bglimm: need more info to work with RIF
- 15:10:40 [Zakim]
- + +0383306aaaa
- 15:10:51 [sandro]
- (um, that's not how I recall the RIF issue. The 'need another editor' was specifically about non-mon logics, which RIF includes. But that doesn't apply for RIF core or rif BLD.)
- 15:11:05 [pgearon]
- bglimm: currently trying to come up with a proposal on entailment for annotations
- 15:11:07 [iv_an_ru]
- Zakim, +0383 is me

- pgearon, s/47/43/
- 15:11:55 [bglimm]
- Sandro, I always said, even before that telecon that I don't feel confident about RIF and either Axel helps me with that or we need another co-editor
- 15:11:57 [LeeF]
- topic: query issues from f2f
- 15:11:59 [LeeF]
- PROPOSED: Resolve ISSUE-11 by noting that it's invalid to project variables/functions on variables that are not included in the GROUP BY clause and also nothing that what this means in practice depends on ISSUE-41
- 15:13:29 [LeeF]
- Orri: seconded
- 15:13:34 [SteveH_]
- included isn't enough
- 15:13:34 [bglimm]
- Axel wanted to help with RIF core, but I'm not sure whether he will find the time or not.
- 15:14:02 [SteveH_]
- e.g. GROUP BY ?x+?Y
- 15:14:11 [LeeF]
- PROPOSED: Resolve ISSUE-11 by noting that it's invalid to project variables/functions on variables that are not exactly the GROUP BY clause and also nothing that what this means in practice depends on ISSUE-41
- 15:14:41 [LeeF]
- RESOLVED: Resolve ISSUE-11 by noting that it's invalid to project variables/functions on variables that are not exactly the GROUP BY clause and also nothing that what this means in practice depends on ISSUE-41

- 15:17:40 [pgearon]
- actually, I'm going to change to an abstain (sorry)
- 15:18:28 [AndyS]
- q+
- 15:18:40 [pgearon]
- concern about not having an option for EXISTS
- 15:18:46 [iv_an_ru]
- Yes, exists can be rewritten as OPTIONAL
- 15:19:00 [LeeF]
- ack AndyS
- 15:19:11 [iv_an_ru]
- but existing SQL optimizers tend to disagree with me :)
- 15:19:16 [LeeF]
- s/concern about/Orri: concern about/
- 15:19:27 [pgearon]
- AndyS: orri was describing a NOT EXISTS or EXISTS outside of a filter
- 15:19:37 [SteveH_]
- { EXISTS } UNION { EXISTS }
- 15:20:00 [AndyS]
- Not quite the same.
- 15:20:02 [LeeF]
- zakim, who's on the phone?
- 15:20:02 [Zakim]
- On the phone I see AlexPassant, KjetilK (muted), LeeF, kasei (muted), AndyS, bglimm (muted), pgearon, Ivan, Orri, john-l, SteveH, tommik, dcharbon2, Chimezie_Ogbuji, Sandro,
- 15:20:05 [Zakim]
- ... iv_an_ru, Prateek
- 15:20:05 [SteveH_]
- no, but similar
- 15:20:37 [pgearon]
- LeeF: asking abstainers what their problem is
- 15:22:22 [chimezie]
- Basically, there is a use case where you want to capture an exclusion criteria (match X but not Y), where Y is a Group Graph Pattern itself
- 15:22:38 [chimezie]
- I'm not 100% if that scenario is covered by the EXISTS FILTER form alternative
- 15:23:45 [LeeF]
- subtopic: name for coalesce
- 15:24:10 [iv_an_ru]
- One of bad cases is an expression like (A or exists (X) or exists (Y) or exists (Z)) --- too much joins if turned into OPTIONALs.
- 15:24:26 [pgearon]
- LeeF: coalesce is an SQL term that returns the first value that evaluates as non-null
- 15:24:58 [pgearon]
- LeeF: in SPARQL we are looking at returning the first value that doesn't result in an unbound or a type error
- 15:25:22 [SteveH_]
- not just SQL it's used in general computer science
- 15:25:31 [pgearon]
- LeeF: proposed names: coalesce, first_bound, left_most, try, others....
- 15:25:41 [SteveH_]

- ack SteveH_
- 15:25:51 [AndyS]
- TRY > FIRST > LEFTMOST > 0 > others
- 15:26:22 [iv_an_ru]
- Will I explain any other name as "X is an other name for COALESCE" ? :)
- 15:26:22 [KjetilK]
- q+
- 15:26:27 [AlexPassant]
- its however obscure for non english speakers / non-sql people
- 15:26:33 [LeeF]
- ack KjetilK
- 15:26:49 [SteveH_]
- AlexPassant, and people who don't know the computer science meaning
- 15:27:08 [chimezie]
- I would almost suggest REDUCE via abuse of notation, but I don't want to hamper progress
- 15:27:13 [pgearon]
- (voice?): aren't we using a different meaning to compsci and SQL?
- 15:27:21 [SteveH_]
- no, same meaning

- SELECT (1+2)
- 15:33:12 [AndyS]
- Example: SELECT count(*) { ... }
- 15:33:13 [pgearon]
- SteveH_: thinks that it might be better to put it off to the next SPARQL, rather than allowing it now and needing to remove it later
- 15:33:37 [chimezie]
- but don't you *have* to bind it to a variable to be in a solution set?
- 15:33:39 [pgearon]
- (referring to unaliased projections)
- 15:33:41 [chimezie]
- or am I missing something
- 15:33:47 [SteveH_]
- ?`(1+2)` is not going to be fun :)

- 15:34:59 [iv_an_ru]
- BTW "AS" between expressions helps to localize syntax errors
- 15:35:09 [pgearon]
- I think it would be a valid extension to not require it, wouldn't it?
- 15:35:14 [LeeF]
- Notes definite preference for requiring aliases
- 15:35:29 [LeeF]
- subtopic: HAVING vs. FILTER
- 15:36:52 [pgearon]
- LeeF: in SPARQL HAVING must happen after the main query pattern, so we don't need a separate name like SQL needs
- 15:37:16 [pgearon]
- LeeF: so do we copy SQL and use SQL's HAVING, or re-use FILTER?
- 15:37:32 [SteveH_]
- WHERE { ... } GROUP BY ?x FILTER( SUM(?y) > 2)
- 15:37:37 [pgearon]
- AndyS: must appear after the GROUP BY
- 15:37:41 [chimezie]
- Re-using FILTER seems intuitive to me, especially since its use with aggregates clearly delineates the 2 use cases
- 15:37:45 [iv_an_ru]
- I've implemented HAVING yesterday in Virtuoso. Convenient...
- 15:37:51 [AndyS]
- {... } GROUP BY - HAVING } ...

- 15:39:12 [SteveH_]

- Leave it up to the editors.
- 15:40:11 [pgearon]
- LeeF: commas in SELECT list?
- 15:40:15 [LeeF]
- (expr AS ?var)
- 15:41:20 [AndyS]
- Optional commas, please
- 15:41:26 [iv_an_ru]
- We have now optional commas in select lists
- 15:41:32 [SteveH_]
- Optional commas is the worst possible outcome
- 15:41:33 [pgearon]
- do we?
- 15:41:34 [SteveH_]
- IMHO
- 15:41:39 [LeeF]
- strawpoll: commas required, brackets required, either allowed, don't care
- 15:42:32 [iv_an_ru]
- we have required (...): (expr) as ?var but optional commas
- 15:42:49 [pgearon]
- AndyS: concern that commas and brackets are distinct and shouldn't be voted on as one vs the other
- 15:43:19 [iv_an_ru]
- It's easier to close compiler's eyes on extra commas than to explain the syntax to every SQL-minded developer
- 15:43:42 [AndyS]
- Agree with iv_an_ru
- 15:44:12 [SteveH_]
- letter them?
- 15:44:16 [iv_an_ru]
- Maybe it'ssafer to permit either a list without commas or a list with all commas but not a list with few optional commas.
- 15:44:22 [LeeF]
- strawpoll: 1. commas required, 2. (expr AS ?var) required, 3. (expr) AS ?var required. 2 + optional commas, 3 + optional commas

- 15:46:57 [pgearon]
- LeeF: should now discuss aggregates and mixed data types
- 15:47:22 [pgearon]
- LeeF: what to do with MIN with strings, integers, dates, etc
- 15:48:03 [pgearon]
- LeeF: F2F also discussed SUM, AVG, etc. Thought to use semantics of "+"
- 15:48:46 [pgearon]
- LeeF: this propagates errors. Casts and COALESCE could overcome some of this. But AndyS showed that it isn't quite the same behaviour
- 15:49:35 [SteveH_]
- SPARQL doesn't have a NULL technically speaking
- 15:49:56 [pgearon]
- orri: why not skip over nulls for sum (skip over errors and unbound)
- 15:50:47 [SteveH_]
- +1 to testcases and usecases
- 15:51:02 [pgearon]
- AndyS: want to check common cases. Complicated cases are good for testing, but not needed so much for designing
- 15:51:35 [SteveH_]
- we haven't looked at any complicated cases yet
- 15:52:33 [pgearon]
- AndyS: thinks the common case is a 1-level query and what ends up in the result set. Wants to get down to use cases to make sure the group is all on the same page
- 15:53:01 [pgearon]
- LeeF: need to define semantics
- 15:53:20 [pgearon]
- AndyS: want to define semantics, but don't let corner cases drive the semantics

- yes, agreed with Andy
- 15:57:26 [pgearon]
- AndyS: can we hear an example of problem?
- 15:57:27 [SteveH_]
- should look harder at what to do with errors

- pgearon - write an outline design fromwht you think is right. Then you''l know :-)
- 16:01:34 [pgearon]
- consensus was reached on 2 conflicting designs, and people keep referring back to the "consensus" :-)
- 16:01:52 [pgearon]
- AndyS, yes, you're right. I should just define what the consensus was :-)

- np
- 16:09:07 [KjetilK]
- are you ready to do a CPAN upload, or should I?
- 16:09:10 [kasei]
- as far as maintainence, i'd be happy to release it or have you do it.
- 16:09:19 [kasei]
- either way would be fine.
- 16:09:39 [KjetilK]
- ok, since I am the only one using it now, I guess I could do it?
- 16:10:18 [kasei]
- if you like, sure. but don't feel obligated; I can try to package it up tonight if you'd like me to.
- 16:10:23 [kasei]
- really whatever is easiest.
- 16:11:03 [KjetilK]
- ok, I'll do it later tonight, np
- 16:11:19 [KjetilK]
- thanks for applying the patches!
