15:20:47 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-94 - Update http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/TF-Graphs (but hopes others will help) [on Richard Cyganiak - due 2011-10-12].

davidwood: the use-cases page needs to be cleaned up
15:21:40 [yvesr]
davidwood: sandro tried to get to the core of those use-cases in his recent emails with the proveance xg
15:21:52 [yvesr]
davidwood: it would be good to define test cases from these use cases
15:22:02 [yvesr]
davidwood: which would serve as a basis for evaluation
15:22:15 [ivan]

15:22:35 [yvesr]

15:25:18 [yvesr]
cygri: agreed that 27 use cases is too much, but it doesn't make sense to pick just one
15:25:46 [yvesr]
cygri: some of the use-cases come from practical use cases
15:25:47 [sandro]
+1 the fish-restaurant use case should not be the only one. there are more immediate ones.
15:25:57 [yvesr]
cygri: ... rather than just 'this is what we could do'
15:26:27 [sandro]

15:26:58 [sandro]
cygri: 1.6, 1.2
15:27:04 [yvesr]
cygri: particularly interesting ones are, to me, 1.6 - versioning, 1.1 - overlap between content of graphs,
15:27:11 [davidwood]
s/1.2/1.1/
15:27:26 [yvesr]
cygri: ... i'd like everyone in the group to do that on the mailing list

davidwood: provencance use cases are important
15:27:59 [davidwood]
q?
15:28:02 [ww]
i would argue that 6.2 bears on provenance
15:28:05 [yvesr]
davidwood: ... that's why we are liaising with the provencance xg
15:28:10 [gavinc]

1.5 is important to us
15:29:05 [mischat]
yvesr: has just added in a use-case given to him by Denny, about wiki based issues in the wikimedia project
15:29:06 [yvesr]
yvesr: new use case from Denny, about Wikidata (Wikimedia project)
15:29:33 [Scott_Bauer]
4.8 has become obsolete and could be safely eliminated from the list if it overlaps with others
15:29:40 [Guus]
I will provide example data (triples) about the Europeana Data Model use case, about metadata of heritage objects, including provenance data
15:29:50 [yvesr]
davidwood: we need to evaluate proposals against test cases derived from use cases

15:33:11 [yvesr]

cygri: i am strugginlg to find the UC that motivates the argument made by PatH and Pierre-Antoine
15:36:32 [yvesr]
pchampin: i can't speak for PatH, but maybe i can work on a negative example where i show the freedom given by cygri's proposal could be harmful
15:37:24 [yvesr]
pchampin: a lot of use cases are arguing that an IRI in a graph can be used to access a graph in a dataset
15:37:34 [yvesr]
pchampin: cygri call that a social convention
15:37:55 [yvesr]
pchampin: i think it has surprising consequences

MacTed, listening for 11 seconds I heard sound from the following: David_Wood (62%), pchampin (22%)
15:39:02 [cygri]
pchampin, if you could write up that use case (negative or not), that would be much appreciated
15:39:15 [pchampin]
@cygri I will
15:39:16 [yvesr]
davidwood: ability to access a graph by an IRI seems like a non-issue
15:39:27 [yvesr]
davidwood: struggling to understand the counter-argument
15:39:38 [pfps]
what happens when there is a mismatch between a quad and actuality?
15:40:07 [sandro]
the same thing as happens any other time there is bad data, pfps, I think....
15:40:47 [pfps]
but if quads carry actuality then having them wrong is like having 7 be 8!
15:41:47 [davidwood]
cygri, can you please scribe your comments into IRC?
15:41:48 [sandro]
q?
15:42:20 [yvesr]
pfps: there is an issue having the semantics of rdf pushing into the semantics of quads
15:42:26 [sandro]
q+
15:42:51 [yvesr]
davidwood: isn't the point of rdf that anybody can say anything about anything?
15:42:59 [yvesr]
davidwood: if i choose to say that 7 is 8, it's fine
15:43:10 [yvesr]
pfps: it's different than rdf saying that 7 is 8
15:43:26 [yvesr]
pfps: we don't have a proposal for how the semantics would work
15:43:51 [yvesr]
pfps: they can be right, but not very useful
15:43:55 [sandro]
thus the drive to make sure our usecases are ... useful. :-)
15:44:31 [cygri]
cygri: i think we agree that in implementations, IRIs can be used to access graphs. the disagreement is about how graph names should be treated in the formal semantics. minimalist position: the semantics should be concerned with single graphs only. alternative position: the semantics should make graph IRIs denote the graphs

pfps: the semantics should be concerned with single graphs only
15:45:25 [yvesr]
pfps: right now, they do
15:45:37 [yvesr]
davidwood: should the rdf semantics ignore named graphs?
15:45:50 [yvesr]
pfps: you could push those notions in the rdf semantics, but it might not be helpful
15:46:30 [yvesr]
davidwood: if you have a syntax that allows for named graphs, would you efectively just add triple?
15:46:39 [yvesr]
s/triple/a triple/
15:47:01 [ww]
statement identifiers...
15:47:03 [yvesr]
davidwood: does it *need* to impact the semantics?

sandro: using graph tags to specify the subject of the doc
15:51:56 [LeeF]
I think that that's a pretty common practice, isn't it?
15:52:24 [gavinc]
Yes, TopQuadrant is aware that we shouldn't be doing that ;)

15:52:35 [yvesr]
s/sandro/SteveH
15:52:38 [LeeF]
I'm pretty sure dbpedia's SPARQL end point names graphs with the subject of the graph (at least, it did at some point)
15:52:41 [LeeF]
Anzo does it as well, in some modes
15:52:46 [yvesr]

O'Reilly Media's does too

Btw, the confusion here is rather bad. TopQurant software uses the same "method", everything tends to ask about Base URI
15:55:10 [yvesr]
SteveH: we should look at the linked data work, with no strict conventions about how to name graph
15:55:24 [yvesr]
davidwood: if you're right, then we don't need standards
15:55:35 [LeeF]
cygri, my experience might have been a long time ago, as well.
15:55:36 [yvesr]
SteveH: we still should recommend what to do
15:55:37 [gavinc]
Where base URI == OWL Ontology == Base URI 3986 == Graph Name :\
15:55:40 [davidwood]
That wasn't me!

ivan: if we don't have graph literals at all, the problem becomes very different
16:00:22 [pchampin]

16:00:27 [Souri]
Why don't we just present graphs as a way of scoping (using a IRI tags) for RDF's uniqueness requirement? How people use graphs is their business.
16:01:01 [yvesr]
pchampin: graph literals may be very important
16:01:12 [yvesr]
ivan: i didn't say they weren't
16:01:26 [sandro]
ivan: if we have graph literals then those additional properties are important

16:02:17 [Souri]
q+
16:02:40 [yvesr]
pchampin: if we refuse to give special semantics to graph IRIs, my intuition is that it would become more important - we need to know how to treat a graph IRI
16:03:17 [pchampin]
pchampin: ... that we can express in RDF what is the relation btw a graph and its IRI in a give dataset

16:04:20 [yvesr]

Looks benign to me, and useful to pull into RDF Concepts.
16:08:31 [Andy]

16:10:18 [pchampin]
proposal: the default graph has no name, but could be identical to a named graph
16:10:29 [yvesr]
MacTed: if you use a default graph, it is not named
16:10:40 [Andy]
"There is no name for the default graph role."
16:10:41 [yvesr]
MacTed: if it is, then you use a named graph
16:10:45 [pfps]
the sentence about the default graph not having a name could just be removed, without affecting the meaning of the section
16:10:52 [pchampin]
@sandro: I think we mean g-snaps here
16:10:58 [pfps]
"There is no name for the default graph."

16:11:33 [Souri]

16:11:53 [yvesr]
cygri: it might be a good idea to remove the sentence if it brings confusion - it is redundant
16:12:13 [yvesr]
cygri: +1 to sandro, datasets are only composed of g-snaps
16:12:30 [yvesr]
cygri: what we have here is essentially a 'dataset snap'
16:12:52 [gavinc]
-0.5 to removing "The default graph does not have a name"
16:12:54 [yvesr]
cygri: it is just a snapshot

EXACTLY one.
16:13:55 [pfps]
around here it was snapping trees - courtesy of tropical storm Irene :-)
16:14:54 [yvesr]
sandro: if you think of that in terms of syntax, it makes it very clear that th edefalut graph doesn't have a name
16:15:20 [yvesr]
sandro: why do you need to do that to name the triples that are already in the default graph?
16:15:30 [gavinc]
TriG does NOT have triples without {}
16:15:37 [sandro]
david: Why do you have the move the triples into curly braces to give them a name?
16:15:41 [yvesr]
MacTed: either they exist in a named graph, either they don't
16:15:57 [gavinc]
the {}s may not have a graph_name as it's optional
16:15:59 [sandro]
sorry, Gavin, call it DTriG or something.
16:16:32 [gavinc]
sandro, np. But people have claimed that TriG is better for not having anything outside of {}s ;)
16:17:02 [yvesr]
MacTed: default graph is a g-box, it can't be a g-snap
16:17:27 [Andy]
The default graph is a set - it can not change. It is a g-snap. a dataset is a "set"
16:17:30 [sandro]
(right, I think Ted is wrong about dataset/gbox)
16:17:43 [yvesr]
Andy, +1
16:18:00 [yvesr]
sandro: the default graph is not a g-box
16:18:14 [yvesr]

16:18:37 [LeeF]
I don't agree with sandro on everything, but definitely agree with him on this :)
16:18:47 [gavinc]
Yeah
16:18:55 [cygri]
“RDF graph” as per RDF Concepts = g-snap
16:19:06 [yvesr]
davidwood: in rdf concepts, every time we say the word graph, we mean g-snap
16:19:10 [yvesr]
cygri: agreed
16:19:21 [yvesr]
cygri: defined as a set of triples, in the mathematical sense
16:19:32 [yvesr]
cygri: when you add a triple, you get a different graph
16:19:53 [yvesr]
davidwood: if you change a graph in a dataset, then you change the dataset
16:20:28 [gavinc]
Why not Graph Store?
16:20:35 [yvesr]
sandro: maybe we could consider a container of immutable graphs?
16:20:51 [Andy]
PUT http://example/gbox
16:21:13 [yvesr]
