14:05:57 <ericP> +1
14:06:00 <AndyS> APPROVED
14:05:54 <AndyS> RESOLVED: to approve minutes from last time http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/meeting/2012-03-06
14:06:05 <Zakim> bglimm, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: ericP (70%), AndyS (84%)
14:06:31 <AndyS> Next meeting - 20 March - timezone shift - in effect
14:07:05 <AndyS> Agenda - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2012JanMar/0242.html
14:07:39 <chimezie> AndyS: this will be a process-centric meeting
14:07:44 <chimezie> ... other items for agenda?
14:08:07 <chimezie> Zakim, unmute me
14:08:09 <Zakim> chimezie should no longer be muted
14:08:12 <AndyS> topic: TSV/CSV results
14:08:25 <ericP> chimezie: will try to get a review in before tomorrow
14:08:54 <ericP> ... will let you know if it's possible by the end of today
14:08:59 <chimezie> Zakim, mute me
14:08:59 <Zakim> chimezie should now be muted
14:09:24 <chimezie> AndyS: Eric chairs while AndyS discusses next agenda item
14:10:08 <chimezie> AndyS: property paths.  Have added descriptive sections (done).  Structural markers in formal definition have pending work.  Email from Axel and Birte.  Progressing
14:10:29 <chimezie> Eric: not taking conservative path
14:10:57 <chimezie> AndyS: outlined proposal is to have both DISTINCT path matching operator with new operators to distinguish between counting and non-counting form of arbitrary-length paths
14:11:26 <ericP> AndyS: everybody gets everything, modulo syntax foo
14:11:33 <chimezie> ... need to get back to Axel's comments regarding blank nodes
14:11:49 <chimezie> EricP: estimate on how much more difficult it is for implementations?
14:11:59 <chimezie> AndyS: another 1/2 implementation of property paths (shared alot).  
14:12:17 <chimezie> ... is more work
14:12:32 <ericP> q?
14:13:14 <chimezie> Sandro: next steps?
14:13:22 <chimezie> AndyS: I keep working writing the specification

14:14:27 <chimezie> Sandro: require another LC?
14:14:29 <chimezie> AndyS: yes
14:15:14 <chimezie> AndyS: no formal decision to do it yet.  If we address comments, it has to be another LC.  No strong desire to do nothing
14:15:46 <chimezie> ... willing to do heavy lifting
14:16:37 <chimezie> bglimm: Do we really want to do this counting / non-counting operator distinction *and* to do DISTINCT
14:16:58 <chimezie> ... in 2 section on operators and DISTINCT it is not clear if these are alternatives to each other or complementary
14:17:32 <chimezie> AndyS: * and + counting/non-counting versions (agreement on this)
14:18:01 <chimezie> ... if we go with DISTINCT, we wouldn't need these operators.  Useful to distinguish between applicable algorithms to use and syntax clarification
14:18:10 <chimezie> bglimm: going for both?
14:18:14 <chimezie> AndyS: yes, so far
14:18:21 <bglimm> Zakim, mute me
14:18:21 <Zakim> bglimm should now be muted
14:18:41 <AndyS> q?
14:19:15 <chimezie> ericp: adds syntactic shorthand (doesn't change expressivity)?
14:19:23 <chimezie> AndyS: will change number of answers [..distortion..]
14:20:24 <bglimm> yes

14:26:21 <chimezie> greg: I'd like to talk about the Dave R. comment at some point

14:26:42 <AndyS> Comment - DRD-1 : http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg-comments/2012Feb/0026.html
14:26:50 <chimezie> Greg: a concern about syntax of PP interfering with future expansion of prefix name syntax
14:27:02 <ericP> ACTION: Sandro to response to James Lee's commment(s) on Graph Store Protocol, due in two weeks
14:27:02 <trackbot> Created ACTION-603 - Response to James Lee's commment(s) on Graph Store Protocol, due in two weeks [on Sandro Hawke - due 2012-03-20].
14:27:09 <chimezie> ... I'm worried this opens pandoras box, but if we are in additional LC, we should at least discuss it
14:27:55 <chimezie> ... characters in prefix name has been growing.  PP syntax limits this. '/' can never be added to a prefix name, for example
14:28:15 <chimezie> ericp: is he aware backslash can be used for escaping?
14:28:28 <AndyS> Yes - in SPARQL - yes he's aware.
14:29:05 <ericP> q+ to describe the tension of SPARQL-Turtle compatibility vs. brevity
14:29:07 <chimezie> greg: brought up point regarding CURIEs.  worried about adding syntax like that to SPRQL
14:29:11 <chimezie> s/SPRQL/SPARQL
14:29:13 <ericP> ack aadd
14:29:47 <chimezie> ericp: concern is complexity of implementation or of user experience?
14:29:58 <chimezie> Zakim, mute me
14:29:58 <Zakim> chimezie should now be muted
14:30:15 <chimezie> greg: late in the game to play around w/ syntax (counting syntax notwithstanding)
14:30:31 <chimezie> ... shouldn't be huge implementation burden, however we should decide
14:30:38 <ericP> ack me
14:30:38 <Zakim> ericP, you wanted to describe the tension of SPARQL-Turtle compatibility vs. brevity
14:31:09 <chimezie> ericp: xml namespace usecase was irritating
14:31:46 <chimezie> ... there was desire to add more characters in SPARQL / Turtle.  In the latter, there was tension around ?squatting on character?
14:32:24 <chimezie> ... solution: to use escape mechanism in local names but not property paths.  In Turtle, authors bear burden of escaping being on assertion language
14:32:27 <chimezie> s/latter/former
14:32:40 <chimezie> ericp:  IMO: this is good enough as it is now and meeting many usecases
14:33:26 <chimezie> AndyS: I agree with Eric.  Also, colon character is used in GSP.  Desire for prefix name to have colon in local name, but incompatible in turtle
14:33:30 <AndyS>  a:b:c:d is valid Turtle --  a:b   :c  :d . 
14:33:49 <ericP> nice!
14:34:40 <chimezie> AndyS: a matter or preference.  CURIEs overload square brackets.  Not sure it works out well.  
14:35:05 <chimezie> ... not sure if 2 ways for syntax is acceptable (need to right out rules twice)
14:36:15 <chimezie> ericp: no one tried to spec out a grammar.  
14:37:23 <chimezie> ericp: content to not require backslash escaping of colon
14:37:31 <chimezie> ... IRC example will require whitespace
14:39:56 <chimezie> ericP: refer to them as 'meta characters'
14:40:09 <chimezie> ... SPARQL local names (and Turtle) have not meta chars (one choice)
14:40:18 <chimezie> ... or escape in SPARQL but not in Turtle (or in both)
14:40:42 <chimezie> ... im inclined to do both
14:42:07 <chimezie> AndyS: take to email?
14:42:21 <chimezie> greg: brought up with RDF WG, we agreed to send to them
14:42:23 <chimezie> AndyS: yes
14:42:44 <chimezie> ... no response

14:47:28 <AndyS> Peter Ansell
14:47:34 <chimezie> ... if not, clean up examples, but he has a point.  Any reason we can't have them interchangeable?
