It would be wrong to not create empty literals 14:11:15 <ivan> PROPOSED: empty elements should generate empty literals (Issue-40) 14:11:22 <Steven__> +1 14:11:27 <ivan> +1 14:11:27 <NathanR> +1 14:12:08 <ivan> PROPOSED: not to accept the change request in Issue-40 14:12:09 <Steven__> +1 14:12:14 <ivan> +1 14:12:18 <NathanR> +1 14:12:23 <ivan> RESOLVED: not to accept the change request in Issue-40 14:12:56 <Knud> ivan: not formally closed, because too many active people missing 14:13:02 <ivan> TOPIC: Issue-35 14:13:10 <ivan> -> http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/issues/35 14:13:15 <Knud> "Consider relationship between LinkTypes in RDFa and the IETF LinkType registry" 14:14:39 <Knud> shane: there is work having to do with http headers. creating a registry for values of @rel 14:15:13 <Knud> ...: however, what we do is slightly different than usually. 14:15:30 <Knud> ...: our values of @rel are terms, and is extenable 14:15:40 <Knud> ...: hostlanguages can define their own terms 14:15:44 <ivan> q+ 14:15:54 <ivan> ack ivan 14:16:03 <Knud> ...: hostlanguages could worry about linking, registering, etc. those terms with the IETF 14:16:24 <Knud> ivan: however, we plan to define a default profile (of terms) for XHTML 14:17:21 <Knud> shane: exactly. We define terms, can look for correlations, but we should not have a dependency to the IETF 14:18:01 <ivan> PROPOSED: RDFa does not introduce an explicit dependency on the LinkTypes registry (Issue-35) 14:18:15 <ShaneM> +1 14:18:18 <Knud> +1 14:18:18 <ivan> +1 14:18:20 <Steven__> +1 14:18:23 <NathanR> +1 14:18:45 <Knud> knud: should we explain that in the specs? 14:19:25 <ivan> RESOLVED: RDFa does not introduce an explicit dependency on the LinkTypes registry (Issue-35) 14:19:31 <Knud> ivan: that's probably not necessary 14:20:00 <Knud> ...: it was Manu who raised this initially 14:20:16 <Knud> shane: on a related note - this has to do with case-sensitivity of terms 14:20:27 <Knud> ...: in the IETF, they are case-sensitive 14:21:37 <Knud> ...: in RDFa core, they are case-insensitive 14:21:55 <ivan> Topic: URI strings in literal 14:22:13 <Knud> "Any plain literal that does not have a (possibly empty) @datatype that matches the regex for a URL MUST be treated as an IRI object in RDFa." 14:22:56 <Knud> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdfa-wg/2010Sep/0127.html 14:23:41 <Knud> ivan: many people do not make a difference between URIs appearing as a literal, or as an attribute value of special attributes 14:24:53 <Steven__> q+ 14:24:57 <ivan> ack Steven__ 14:25:58 <Knud> steven: can we not apply a datatype to make a literal a URI? 14:26:05 <Knud> ivan: this is not possible at the moment 14:26:58 <Knud> ...: there is currently no corresponding xsd datatype 14:27:08 <NathanR> q+ 14:27:47 <Knud> ...: and we cannot use "anyURI" 14:28:36 <Knud> ...: there are legitimate cases where I want to have a literal, a string, which conforms to the URI spec 14:28:56 <ivan> ack NathanR 14:29:05 <Steven__> q+ 14:29:12 <Knud> ...: anyway, this would not help people like FB, because they won't ask their developers to use this datatype 14:29:54 <ivan> ack Steven__ 14:30:01 <ShaneM> q+ to ask about datatypes 14:30:20 <Knud> nathan: we should go with the common case. basically agree with the proposal 14:30:56 <NathanR> q+ 14:31:03 <NathanR> q- 14:31:13 <Knud> steven: this means that, every time we have a non-datatype string, we have to check if the string is an acceptable URI 14:31:18 <ShaneM> fubar == xsd\:anyURI 14:31:29 <Knud> ...: problem: "fubar" is an acceptable relative URI 14:31:59 <Knud> ivan: we may have to restrict to absolute URIs 14:32:28 <NathanR> ../foo & iso: & "" (0-length-string) all == xsd:anyURI 14:32:39 <NathanR> relative0uri* 14:32:40 <ivan> ack ShaneM 14:32:40 <Zakim> ShaneM, you wanted to ask about datatypes 14:32:43 <ivan> q? 14:32:45 <Knud> steven: there would still be lots of things that might be parsed as a URI. lots of string with a colon in it, for example 14:33:45 <Knud> shane: I also see this problem. Also, we will probably need to allow relative URIs. e.g., resource="#foo", resource="picture.jpg" 14:33:45 <Steven__> <span property=my:datatype>xsd:integer</span>¨ 14:34:02 <Steven__> then xsd:integer would be seen as a URI 14:34:38 <NathanR> <span property="foaf:name">nathan</span> <--- would be a valid uri ref 14:34:51 <ivan> <meta property="og:sfdssf" content="http://....." /> 14:34:52 <Steven__> Not for an abs URI 14:35:35 <NathanR> q+ 14:36:09 <ivan> ack NathanR 14:36:29 <Steven__> q+ 14:36:37 <ivan> ack Steven__ 14:36:50 <Steven__> see xsd:integer 14:36:52 <Knud> nathan: I also agree this is a problem. maybe less of a problem with absolute URIs 14:37:21 <ShaneM> for example mailto:shane 14:37:22 <Knud> steven: but even absolute URIs (that are meant to be URIs) are very hard to detect 14:37:32 <ShaneM> for example urn:... 14:37:43 <Knud> ...: isbn:43290489fj is an absolute URI 14:38:09 <Knud> ivan: so, we might have to agree on a family of URI schemes that have to be matched 14:40:12 <Knud> ...: is there an official registry of schemes? 14:40:26 <Knud> shane: yes, there is the IETF scheme 14:41:00 <NathanR> or skype: 14:41:56 <Knud> steven: but not everybody uses this registry. Like Apple. 14:42:33 <Knud> ivan: people using unregistered URI schemes could still use the "normal" way of specifying URIs, via @resource 14:43:31 <Knud> ACTION: shane to find reference to the IETF registry 14:43:31 <trackbot> Created ACTION-38 - Find reference to the IETF registry [on Shane McCarron - due 2010-10-07]. 14:43:35 <ShaneM> Information on registring URI schemes: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4395 14:43:58 <ShaneM> close ACTION-38 14:43:58 <trackbot> ACTION-38 Find reference to the IETF registry closed 14:44:50 <Knud> steven: I would really like to find a general solution, not a hacky one 14:46:49 <Knud> shane: we can still define a term to instruct the RDFa processor to interprete something as a URI 14:47:19 <ivan> <meta property="og:asfasdf" datatype="rdfa:resource" content="http://sfsd" /> 14:47:26 <ShaneM> <link property='og:lala' datatype='xv:thisIsAURI'>http://example.com</link> 14:48:15 <ivan> <link rel="og:lala" resource="http://example.com"/> 14:48:24 <Knud> ivan: this is probably just as difficult for the FB-esque community 14:49:05 <Knud> nathan: it's also not backwards compatible 14:51:31 <NathanR> q+ 14:52:25 <Knud> shane: if the OGP had an RDFa profile, and if the profile could define that certain properties have their values interpreted as a URI? 14:53:45 <Knud> ...: so we could invoke "follow-your-nose". the definition of og:fdhskfj could specify that it's value is an rdf:resource 14:54:55 <ivan> ack NathanR 14:54:55 <Knud> ivan: this is impossible to define in the current framework 14:56:39 <Knud> nathan: long-term solution: a way for properties to define their ranges as needed here 14:58:15 <ivan> zakim, drop me 14:58:15 <Zakim> -Steven 14:58:16 <Zakim> -NathanR 14:58:18 <Zakim> Ivan is being disconnected 14:58:20 <Zakim> -Ivan 14:58:22 <Zakim> -Knud 14:58:24 <Zakim> -ShaneM 14:58:26 <Zakim> SW_RDFa()10:00AM has ended 14:58:28 <Zakim> Attendees were Ivan, +1.612.217.aaaa, ShaneM, +1.441.592.aabb, NathanR, Knud, Steven 14:59:23 <ivan> rrsagent, draft minutes 14:59:23 <RRSAgent> I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2010/09/30-rdfa-minutes.html ivan # SPECIAL MARKER FOR CHATSYNC.
