<webr3> apologies/regrets, I'm going to have to miss todays meeting as I've just been called in to the kids school for a meeting in 15 mins

<scribe> scribenick: Benjamin

manu: let's start. Any updates, changes to agenda?

Work Plan for 1st Quarter of 2011

<manu> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdfa-wg/2011Jan/0001.html

manu: it covers January, February and March
... Shane aggreed to handle the last call comments
... do we want to speak up before sending responses?

ivan: Shane should not be pushed with technical issues.

manu1: I created issues for all most incomming comments

<manu> http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/products/8

ShaneM: Some comments are more related to XHTML or HTML. I'll redirect these.

manu1: Next plan is to get the RDFa API and RDF API document into better shape.

<markbirbeck> belated apologies, I'm afraid.

<markbirbeck> can't make the call...sorry.

Manu1: In March we hope to have first implementations of the RDFa API
... In March try to move to Porposed Recommendations for current Working Drafts

ivan: let's talk about the Primer
... what about the chartered optional cookbook?
... the cookbok should include RDFa API content. Therefore the deadline should be later.

<tinkster> I started gathering some potential examples for the cookbook on the WG wiki.

ivan: maybe we could collect code snippets from our discussion on a wiki page
... Toby began to play with an ATOM host laguage for RDFa
... we should publish that as anote

<tinkster> http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/wiki/Cookbook/Examples

<tinkster> http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/wiki/Atom_plus_RDFa

manu1: let's discuss it on the mailing list

Thoughts on RDF API and RDFa API Documents

<manu> http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/sources/rdf-api/

<manu> http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/sources/rdfa-api/

manu1: Is everyone OK with the current directions of these documents?

benjamin: i am ok, want to look deeper into the RDF API

Steven: OK

XHTML Profile document changes/management

<manu> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdfa-wg/2010Dec/0054.html

manu1: toby was working on this

<manu> http://buzzword.org.uk/2010/xhtml-vocab-20101110.xhtml

manu: good you give an overview Toby?

tinkster: update is on mapping the XHTML vocabulary with other vocabluaries like Dublin Core

manu: This is a good thing to do.
... Any concerns about this?

ivan: I have some comments.
... Many changes relate to core level rather than XHTML.
... We have to have a well documented process about how a prefix gets into the profile

<Zakim> manu, you wanted to discuss core vs. xhtml profiles

ivan: It's tricky to add or not add vocabularies like Dublin Core, Foaf , SIOC or Google's.

manu: RDFa core is intended to cover abstract vocabularies

ivan: I disagree

ShaneM: The RDFa core does not concern about any other document formats

ivan: RDFa Core works with any XML language
... I should be able to use the RDF distiller for any RDFa data containing any RDF vocabulary

manu: should we add the document conformance into the RDFa Core document?

ShaneM: We could add a section about XML conformance.
... Ivan you use case is a real use case. I have to think about this issue. How about testing? Do we have a core test suite?

ivan: For a given set of vocabularies (SIOC, FOAF, ...) we should be able to use them without a profile.
... An XHTML document should have two profiles, the default profile and its own profile.

<tinkster> chances are you'd hardcode both.

ShaneM: We should not have two profiles

<ShaneM> define an XML+RDFa host language

<tinkster> I use media type.

ivan: How does a processor identify the host language?

<Zakim> manu, you wanted to discuss checking the vocabulary profile

<ShaneM> XHTML+RDFa says: XHTML+RDFa documents should be labeled with the Internet Media Type "application/xhtml+xml" as defined in [RFC3236]. For further information on using media types with XHTML Family markup languages, see the informative note [XHTML-MEDIA-TYPES].

manu: The HTML said that analysing the media type is not the right way to identify the host language

ivan: not all document formats have a doc type

<tinkster> HTML5 served as text/html can have xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

<Zakim> manu, you wanted to discuss selecting the default profile

manu: although you cannot count on it, as shown by Toby's example we should use the namespace to decide which profile to use

<ShaneM> I would prefer embedding rules for XML+RDFa in RDFa Core rather than a separate spec

manu: I don't know if we have a concensus about implementing the profile lookup for RDFa processors

<ShaneM> RDFa Core needs to have rules for discovery defined in section 4.1

ivan: We could add an XML profile section in the RDFA Core spec

manu: another XML spec is not much more work

ShaneM: We have to recharter when publishing another specification
... I would add it into the conformance section

<ShaneM> We need to add these as specific last call issues so we can address them

<tinkster> There is a difference in terms of constructing the DOM from the byte stream.

ShaneM: A conformance should use information form the higher level protocol to determine the document format
... is it OK that I fix comments I absolutely OK with.

The group agreed.
