They know SPARQL and can think in triples. 16:05:21 Nathan: I have two distinct groups of publishers (1) those who have rdf-triples behind the scenes (2) those who have non-rdf objects behind the scenes | both of those groups want to target both non-rdf developers, and rdf-developers. This creates two core needs: (a) a way to give rdf-triples as simple-objects to non-rdf developers (b) a way to give simple-objects as rdf to rdf-developers 16:05:22 Nathan: distinct from that I see two other cases (c) dumping rdf as json as a leightweight triple format (d) sparql (which I see as orthogonal, is sparql engine on client or server?) 16:05:26 Richard: but we also want to use things like DESCRIBE or CONSTRUCT 16:05:26 Richard: but these do not give a JSON result 16:05:35 cygri: This is most interesting if you don't really want to use a consumer library; if library is okay, then use existing syntax. It's nice to just code away on the raw json, though. 16:05:55 Zakim, mute JeremyCarroll 16:05:55 I don't think it was me 16:05:55 Richard: want simple or predictable result format for DESCRIBE and CONSTRUCT 16:05:55 Richard: we don't really want a library, because if library is OK then there is no problem to sovle (library can do whatever magic is needed) 16:05:55 JeremyCarroll was already muted, JeremyScribe 16:06:09 The requirements of Manu and Richard are not very dissimilar... 16:06:19 JeremyScribe, no it wasn't you 16:06:32 Richard: related problem is posting data back to SPARQL store 16:06:35 I wouldn't say that Ivan - not clear at the moment... 16:06:36 e.g. with HTTP PUT 16:06:37 cygri: also, good to post back to store. json serialization for simple encoding of RDF graph. 16:06:40 q? 16:06:52 zakim, unmute me 16:06:52 ww should no longer be muted 16:07:03 (great, cygri) 16:07:06 ack ww 16:07:17 yup 16:07:23 -LeeF 16:08:43 ww: has use cases with end users in web browswers annotating data 16:08:56 ww: the end users actions are mediated by web developers 16:09:07 ww: the web developers neither know nor want to know about RDF 16:09:32 ww: but these developers need to mediate between a triple store and the end users 16:09:40 ww: The developers don't seem to know much about modeling in RDF, and don't want to, but the modeling in the back is RDF. 16:09:57 zakim, mute me 16:09:57 ww should now be muted 16:09:59 ww: mechanisms involve HTTP PUT/POST/GET and JSON but not sure how 16:10:06 ack zwu 16:10:10 People might want to look at this as a complex example: http://purl.org/payswarm#Contract 16:10:39 zwu: I understand why web developers do not want RDF/XML, but why not turtle 16:10:39 zwu2: Why would developers really not want to get near Turtle. It's really simple. 16:10:51 It may interest some to see how James Leigh and I roundtrip RDF to and from a browser: http://callimachusproject.org 16:10:57 manu: They say they already know json, and don't see why they need something else. 16:10:57 manu: dev say we already know JSON, why should we learn more? 16:11:17 manu: They just don't see the problem that json doesn't address. 16:11:32 manu: web developers use json to read and write data and accomplish their tasks involving linked data like tasks 16:11:49 somewhat harshly, i've been told that it is not reasonable to expect developers to "go back to school" and learn about something new, and rdf seems pretty different 16:11:58 manu: and you don't need much more. you just uris, and folks already do that a lot. most of that can be done on the server side. "Why are you making me learn something new, when that's not really required." 16:12:02 manu: why are you making me learn something new ... 16:12:24 q+ 16:12:35 zwu: RDF is not a huge deal 16:12:41 q- 16:12:43 manu: but the learning curves are huge 16:12:49 +1 to manu 16:12:59 +1 to manu 16:13:01 +10 to manu 16:13:09 +100 to manu 16:13:14 David: agrees with manu 16:13:17 fwiw we built the whole of http://foafbuilder.qdos.com/builder/ which is very ajaxie, or "ajar-ie" in timbl speak. Our model in the MVC was RDF, storage a triplestore. and like above RDF to and from a browser 16:13:23 they have a full stack including progamming languages all setup around working with classes and objects - they just aren't setup to handle triples and graphs (who is??!) 16:13:29 manu: The RDF concepts are really not something that are easy to pick up and learn. 16:13:32 many: strong agreement with manu 16:13:36 +1 to David 16:13:40 +1 to David 16:13:52 David: we want web developers to use this technology, rather than web dev want to use these 16:13:52 food for thought: http://www.google.com/trends?q=json%2Crdf&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 16:13:55 davidwood: We want web developers to adopt this technology, more than they want to adopt it. We can't put stumbling blocks in their way. 16:14:09 q+ 16:14:12 zhe, do not underestimate the weight of a familiar syntax 16:14:26 cygri: very relevant! 16:14:34 q+ to talk to linking 16:14:52 manu: I don't thinkw eb dev grok some of the advanced topics to do with linked data 16:15:03 Zakim, unmute JeremyCarroll 16:15:03 JeremyCarroll should no longer be muted 16:15:03 zakim, unmute me 16:15:04 zwu2 was not muted, zwu2 16:16:04 uri as a global *property/predicate* identifier is difficult - you can't write that in most OO type languages 16:16:06 isn't JSON at least formally "open" 16:16:11 +1 to Jeremy 16:16:12 Zakim, mute JeremyCarroll 16:16:12 JeremyCarroll should now be muted 16:16:23 AndyS supports cygri example (roughly) 16:16:34 Jeremy: uri as global identifier as opposed to local scoped id is one key RDF concept 16:16:48 cygri, http://www.google.com/trends?q=data%2C+love&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=1 16:16:55 Jeremy: open schema of RDFS ratehr than fully specified app schema is a second 16:17:04 Jeremy: both are advacned and difficult 16:17:14 I thought we are supposed to be standardising common practices .... 16:17:17 The other frightening thing about RDF is, if one probes the 'buzz' for insight, one finds a lot of worry and confusion and debate and so on, rather than a bunch of nice easy tutorials. 16:17:38 indeed, PatHayes, it's not a pretty picture. 16:17:44 We did not finish JSON UCs 16:17:53 hsbauer has left #rdf-wg 16:17:56 So maybe we should make it our business to paint some better pictures :-) 16:17:59 bye 16:17:59 -cygri 16:18:00 -Souri_ 16:18:00 -AxelPolleres 16:18:01 -ww.a 16:18:01 -tomayac_ 16:18:02 -manu1 16:18:02 -Tony 16:18:03 zakim, drop me 16:18:04 Ivan is being disconnected 16:18:06 -mischat_ 16:18:08 -Ivan 16:18:10 -OlivierCorby 16:18:11 AlexHall has left #rdf-wg 16:18:12 -zwu2 16:18:14 -Sandro 16:18:16 -AlexHall 16:18:18 -webr3 16:18:19 -David 16:18:22 -Peter_Patel-Schneider 16:18:22 yes 16:18:22 Zakim, unmute JeremyCarroll 16:18:24 -PatH 16:18:26 -Ronald 16:18:28 -AndyS 16:18:30 JeremyCarroll should no longer be muted 16:18:34 Zakim, list attendees 16:18:36 As of this point the attendees have been Tony, David, Sandro, LeeF, OlivierCorby, +1.415.369.aabb, JeremyCarroll, AndyS, manu1, mischat_, tomayac_, PatH, Ivan, JFB, zwu2, 16:18:39 ...
