15:10:07 <SteveH> ... there's a mail about it on list
15:10:40 <SteveH> ... Jeen commented on MINUS v's NOT EXIST
15:10:44 <AxelPolleres> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2011JanMar/0369.html  ... not exists vs. minus
15:10:53 <SteveH> ... don't know how to proceed there
15:11:13 <kasei> that isn't true, though

15:14:18 <AxelPolleres> regrets for next week from me
15:14:30 <SteveH> AxelPolleres: I will not be here but lee will be
15:14:31 <OlivierCorby> regrets also
15:14:40 <SteveH> ... geosparql has asked us for a review
15:14:49 <AxelPolleres> topic: geosparql review http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2011JanMar/0343.html
15:15:05 <SteveH> MattPerry: we have a group of about 10, working on geosparql, it is straightforward, vocab + filter functions for SPARQL
15:15:30 <SteveH> ... in OGC they've had std. object models for geometry, takes on and created RDF vocab that does the same thing
15:15:45 <SteveH> ... different classes for polygon,. point, line + dimensions and so on
15:16:07 <SteveH> ... also functions for objects, created analagous filter functions for them
15:16:15 <SteveH> ... union intersection etc.
15:16:24 <SteveH> ... translation of existing standard
15:16:37 <SteveH> .... serialise these geometries in RDF, created datatypes
15:16:40 <AxelPolleres> http://www.w3.org/2011/02/GeoSPARQL.pdf
15:16:57 <SteveH> ... existing text based standards can be put in literals
15:17:23 <SteveH> ... use these literals as arguments to functions
15:18:21 <cbuilara> I can do it, or ask anybody in my grpup
15:18:25 <cbuilara> group
15:18:34 <cbuilara> zakim, unmunte me
15:18:34 <Zakim> I don't understand 'unmunte me', cbuilara

15:18:54 <Zakim> cbuilara should no longer be muted
15:19:19 <SteveH> cbuilara: people in my research group working on GML(?)
15:19:25 <SteveH> ... it would be worth them looking at it
15:19:47 <SteveH> ... I will send a review
15:19:54 <AxelPolleres> ACTION: carlos to look in his group� for a review for GeoSPARQL and send it to us
15:19:54 <trackbot> Could not create new action (failed to parse response from server) - please contact sysreq with the details of what happened.
15:19:54 <trackbot> Could not create new action (unparseable data in server response: local variable 'd' referenced before assignment) - please contact sysreq with the details of what happened.
15:20:16 <SteveH> AxelPolleres: to last call...
15:20:23 <SteveH> ... take a look at status of drafts
15:20:24 <AxelPolleres> topic: to last call

15:20:43 <bglimm> Zakim, unmute me
15:20:43 <Zakim> bglimm should no longer be muted
15:21:09 <bglimm> I had a few comments on the revised sections
15:22:43 <SteveH> AndyS: there are 12 markers in doc for things to do, all editorial - Steve can you look at the eval of ToList, not sure it can be removed
15:22:55 <SteveH> ... if people are happy to comment in that state we can go ahead
15:23:04 <AxelPolleres> andy: 12 editorial markers in the� doc at the moment... apart from that, we can go ahead with review
15:23:42 <SteveH> AxelPolleres: we have reviewers assigned, so can turn to BGP matching
15:23:53 <AxelPolleres>  BGP matching extensions rewording suggestions by Birte http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2011JanMar/0276.html
15:24:02 <SteveH> ... has rewording suggestions
15:24:31 <SteveH> bglimm: the main problem is that terminology is outdated, uses old terminology
15:24:47 <SteveH> ... uses different word from rest of text, not been updated since defintions were tested
15:24:56 <SteveH> ... would like it updated
15:25:17 <SteveH> ... the only thing I suggest is to require that solutions are uniquely satisfied
15:25:26 <SteveH> ... I think it's quite important
15:25:41 <AxelPolleres> q?
15:25:44 <SteveH> ... doesn't really change any of the semantics
15:26:06 <SteveH> AndyS: looked through the text, it looked pretty good, was planning on putting that text in
15:26:16 <SteveH> ... there's a couple of points I want to check
15:26:36 <SteveH> AxelPolleres: one point, reformulation of cond. 1, sent to list
15:27:08 <SteveH> [ discussion of uniquely specified issues ]
15:27:41 <Zakim> -SteveH
15:27:53 <AxelPolleres> s/uniquely/uniquely (up to RDF graph equivalence)/ ?
15:27:54 <SteveH> sorry, something wrong with the sip connection :(
15:28:13 <Zakim> +??P11
15:28:19 <SteveH> Zakim, ??P11 is me
15:28:19 <Zakim> +SteveH; got it
15:29:02 <SteveH> q+
15:29:44 <SteveH> q-
15:29:46 <pgearon> I can try
15:30:01 <SteveH> AxelPolleres: no action here
15:31:23 <AxelPolleres> ACTION: Birte to draft xml for revised Extending BGP matching section for query
15:31:23 <trackbot> Created ACTION-405 - Draft xml for revised Extending BGP matching section for query [on Birte Glimm - due 2011-03-08].
15:31:38 <SteveH> ... that's all for query
15:31:55 <SteveH> ... for update, any news? lots of discussion, will come to that later
15:32:10 <SteveH> ... service descirption, grega, can you give update
15:32:11 <bglimm> Zakim, mute me
15:32:11 <Zakim> bglimm should now be muted
15:32:29 <SteveH> kasei: I've added a couple of things to the SD section, biggest thing is relationship with dataset protocol
15:33:14 <SteveH> ... said I'd take it to email, suggested simple change to SD vocab which will be sufficient to describe a dataset in terms of the dataset protocol
15:33:32 <SteveH> ... if its goes beyond that I'm going to push back, to avoid getting into out of scope things
15:33:37 <SteveH> ... waiting on more discussionm
15:33:57 <SteveH> ... been discussing conformance language with Andy
15:34:16 <SteveH> ... I'm happy discussing on email
15:35:07 <SteveH> I owe a review on {something}
15:35:10 <bglimm> Zakim, unmute me
15:35:10 <Zakim> bglimm should no longer be muted
15:35:23 <SteveH> bglimm: waiting for a review on entailment
15:35:57 <SteveH> ???: the parital review that was sent out is the final one
15:36:05 <SteveH> bglimm: I saw one review
15:36:11 <AxelPolleres> s/???/Matt/
15:36:34 <SteveH> bglimm: connonicalisation issue
15:36:49 <SteveH> ... only define d-entailment within some limit
15:37:05 <SteveH> ... not happy, but it's what we decided, not sure if we want to revisit
15:37:28 <SteveH> AxelPolleres: I guess at the moment we just go on, what's your suggestion
15:37:46 <SteveH> bglimm: I would just remove the entailment, it's not nice that systems behave differently
15:38:09 <SteveH> ... SPARQL doesn't specify this behaviour, so maybe it's not up to the entailments regimes
15:38:48 <SteveH> ... you can only return ansers that occur in the graph, but that depends on parsing process
15:39:04 <SteveH> ... might have two different values, so might return two answers
15:39:22 <AxelPolleres> issue different answers and also differenct cardinalities implied.
15:39:23 <SteveH> ... can get different cardinality
15:39:40 <SteveH> ... do you want to require canonicalisation - seems to be the only way to solve this problem
15:40:24 <SteveH> bglimm will add a note to the document
15:40:27 <AndyS> zakim, who is on the call?
15:40:27 <Zakim> On the phone I see AndyS, NickH, corby, kasei, pgearon, cbuilara, AxelPolleres, Sandro, MattPerry, bglimm, AlexPassant, SteveH
15:40:32 <AxelPolleres> q?
15:40:56 <SteveH> cbuilara: proposed semantics of service algebra, difficult to understand what I was proposing in email, I will follow your comments
15:41:16 <SteveH> ... it is almost finished I think, will be finished this/next week
15:41:44 <SteveH> formal update semantics]
15:41:51 <AxelPolleres> topic: Update Formal Semantics (incl. bnodes as DELETE-wildcards) 
15:41:53 <SteveH> particularly bnodes as wildcards
15:41:59 <cbuilara> zakim, mute me
15:41:59 <Zakim> cbuilara should now be muted
15:42:25 <SteveH> AxelPolleres: summary - there were concerns about update semantics as in current draft
15:42:28 <AxelPolleres> http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/docs/update-1.1/Overview.xml#formalModel
15:42:48 <SteveH> ... because it doesn't cover the resolution that we wanted to create blank nodes in delete patters as wildcards
15:42:57 <SteveH> ... there were some mails with suggestions
15:42:59 <AxelPolleres> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2011JanMar/0305.html
15:43:19 <AxelPolleres> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2011JanMar/0317.html
15:43:19 <SteveH> ... three options
15:43:39 <Zakim> -SteveH
15:43:52 <Zakim> +??P0
15:43:59 <SteveH> Zakim, ??P0 is me
15:43:59 <Zakim> +SteveH; got it
15:44:11 <SteveH> ... several coinflip descisions on what it means
15:44:37 <SteveH> ... do the bns match all resources which are available, or whether they are [something]
15:44:43 <SteveH> ... people not so convinced
15:44:55 <SteveH> ... third option is to revisit resolution. no blank nodes as wildcards
15:44:57 <SteveH> q+
15:46:52 <SteveH> q-
15:46:55 <AndyS> q+
15:47:10 <AxelPolleres> Option 1: Bnode match all resources in the graph (essentially rewriting 1 in the mails)
15:48:12 <AxelPolleres> Option 2 : bnodes match whatever they match if treated as "moficy_tmeplate copied tyo body" 
15:48:39 <AxelPolleres> (essentially rewriting 2)
15:49:14 <SteveH> AndyS: are there usecases where 1 & 2 are different
15:49:24 <AxelPolleres> Option 1 and 2 differ �,  see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2011JanMar/0317.html
15:51:12 <SteveH> AxelPolleres: at end of mail there's a simple example, so prolem with unbound is there
15:51:21 <AxelPolleres>  Option 3: treat bnodes as in CONSTRUCT/INSERT, i.e. as new bnodes... would mean they don't match anything.
15:51:38 <AxelPolleres> (that is against our earlier resolution)
15:51:55 <AxelPolleres>  Option 4: is to forbid bnodes in DELETE
15:51:55 <AndyS> q-
15:52:03 <SteveH> SteveH: rather to make it an error
15:52:18 <SteveH> AxelPolleres: one mail from birte, not happy with rewritings
15:52:26 <bglimm> Zakim, unmute me
15:52:26 <Zakim> bglimm was not muted, bglimm
15:52:50 <SteveH> bglimm: you could just define that you wanted all things deleteed that are an instance of the graph
15:53:16 <SteveH> ... not specifiy how you want the deletion, reqriting is one way of doing the delete, would like a more abstract definition
15:53:35 <SteveH> ... would have to do some graph matching to decide which triples are deleted
15:53:39 <SteveH> ... re. option 2
15:53:42 <AndyS> IIUC version 1 does not reflect pattern of bNode use -> makes me v nervious
15:54:21 <SteveH> ... equiv. to option 1, but not specified with UNIONs
15:54:31 <SteveH> AxelPolleres: think it could be done but not sure anyone has time
15:55:12 <SteveH> ... need some kind of skolemisation/deskolemisation
15:55:25 <AndyS> Who was a supporter of the original point of making bNodes variables at all?  Do we need to check with them?
15:55:34 <SteveH> bglimm: they are like variables in normal evaluation, don't have to skolemise
15:56:20 <SteveH> bglimm: think it's more difficult to delete lists
15:56:31 <SteveH> AndyS: do any of the mechanisms actually help?
15:57:01 <AxelPolleres> Can someone draft a Testcase that does list deletion?
15:57:05 <SteveH> bglimm: I think they do
15:57:12 <SteveH> AndyS: only works where you know the links
15:57:14 <SteveH> q+
15:57:25 <SteveH> bglimm: that's the main usecase
15:57:34 <SteveH> AxelPolleres: only works with fixed length lists
15:59:19 <Zakim> -SteveH
15:59:37 <Zakim> +??P0
15:59:41 <SteveH> Zakim, ??P0 is me
15:59:41 <Zakim> +SteveH; got it
16:00:23 <AndyS> Hmm - something like    DELETE { ?x rdf:first ?f ; rdf:rest ?y } WHERE { ?list rdf:rest* ?x . ?x rdf:first ?f ; rdf:rest ?y }
16:00:33 <SteveH> 4, where forbidden = causes an error, rather than bannedby syntax
16:00:34 <bglimm> 3 or 4
16:00:41 <pgearon> option 4 (followed by 3)
16:00:43 <AndyS> which works by finding the list element one at a time
16:00:48 <kasei> 0
16:00:50 <sandro> (sorry,  undecided.)
16:00:54 <AndyS> no opinion - need to see details.
16:01:02 <OlivierCorby> don't know yet
16:01:12 <Zakim> -pgearon
16:01:15 <AxelPolleres> Strawpoll Option1-4 ?
16:01:16 <AxelPolleres> prefer 1 over 2 , but can live with 3/4
16:01:39 <AxelPolleres> let's take it to email
