15:18:44 [gavinc]
I think the theory was to assign it to Sandro until Ivan was here?
15:20:09 [Souri]
Ivan: wonders if this is not something we should rather do when we have the RDF vocab doc updated, add the necessary RDFa for that instead of redoing

15:36:46 [Zakim]
JeremyCarroll, you wanted to suggest minimize informative txt on Seq
15:36:46 [gavinc]
-0.5 to reopening archaic vs. deprecated conversation
15:37:10 [AndyS1]
Maybe something like "Using well-formed lists maximises interoperability"
15:37:41 [AndyS1]
... or "usability" (bit more opinioned)
15:37:44 [sandro]
JeremyCarroll: move the "archaic" stuff to an appendix.
15:38:04 [Souri]
jeremycarroll: put informative text in the appendix of the primer (use words such as 'archaic' in there ...)
15:39:19 [Souri]
jeremycarroll: ... have a link to the old text
15:40:55 [Souri]
Ivan: its not only a question of labeling them as archaic etc, do you also change the RDFsemantics such as rdf:_1, rdf:_2, etc. These are problems for inferencing because they lead to infinite number of things. Propose taking them out of RDF and RDFS core.
15:41:16 [Souri]
Ivan: these are not editorial changes
15:41:32 [pchampin_]
s/are not/are not only/
15:42:17 [Souri]
... does the RDF and RDFS rules need to take care of the rdf:_n? if not, we should adjust them ...

15:43:53 [Zakim]
-NickH
15:43:59 [pfps]
I don't think that anyone at the OWL level worries about the infinite base of RDFS, as there are an infinite number of entailments in OWL anyway.
15:44:09 [AndyS1]
rdfs:member is used.

15:44:56 [pchampin_]
jeremy: agree with Ivan, and I don't think people that use rdf:Seq are relying on rdf:_n implying membership
15:44:57 [JeremyCarroll]
Jeremy: does anyone really use these rules?
15:45:12 [gavinc]
rdfs:member is implemented a property function in Jena ARQ isn't it?
15:45:45 [AndyS1]
gavinc, yes (usually) and also by Jena rules for RDFS so API as well as SPARQL
15:45:46 [SteveH]
rdfs:member was implemented as an inference rule in 3store, but no-ones asked for it in 4store
15:45:52 [pfps]
in some sense the gain may be too small to overcome *any* pain, so why bother even trying
15:45:54 [Souri]
Ivan: theoretical possibility of a problem ... SPARQL on a member of a bag or seq may rely on rdf:_n being subproperty of rdfs:member
15:46:07 [ivan]
ok SteveH, good to know that
15:46:19 [AndyS1]
People use rdfs:member a bit : as list more common, list:member used more.
15:46:20 [JeremyCarroll]
Zakim, mute me
15:46:20 [Zakim]
JeremyCarroll was already muted, JeremyCarroll
15:46:22 [gavinc]
SteveH, I did! And you said to use lists instead... which we did ;)
15:46:44 [SteveH]
gavinc, oh! sorry :) doubt it was me that said use lists though
15:46:54 [SteveH]
ok, at least one person asked for rdfs:member :)
15:47:47 [Souri]
Ivan: have a slight difference with sandro
15:47:56 [SteveH]
FWIW, in the last commonly-used schema I had a hand in we had to invent our own ordinal system as both Seq and List weren't up to the job
15:48:18 [SteveH]
[ :foo "a" ; :ordinal 1 ] etc.
15:48:21 [Souri]
guus: hopefully by next week we can get to the resolution
15:49:02 [sandro]
s/have a slight difference with sandro/one problem is that Sandro's proposal uses specific terminology, but Guus says that's already decided/
15:49:08 [pfps]
