<Luc>Summary: Paolo reviewed activities. A consolidated document, containing  definitions for  core concepts, and topics for discussion, has been produced. When the document is frozen, a notification will be sent to the mailing list. It was agreed that we shouldn't attempt to incorporate in this document definitions for other concepts that have not been discussed yet.

15:21:09 <satya> Paolo: All members of the TF contributed to the consolidation process
15:22:24 <satya> Paolo: the TF did not add to the definition of a concept. Each provenance concept has three sections: a consolidated definition, examples from the Data Journalism example, and outstanding issues related to the provenance concept
15:22:56 <Luc> q?
15:23:02 <satya> Paolo: Goal of this work is to present an unified view of the provenance concepts for further discussions during the F2F

15:31:34 <paolo> Luc: acknowledges the hard work of the Model TF! :-)
15:31:34 <Luc> TOPIC: Model Task Force 
<luc>Summary: In the spirit of building up our understanding of concepts, agreement was reached on a few more properties.  PIL is seen as an assertion language; derivation was defined; a set of event ordering constraints was adopted as a starting point to understand PIL.  Consensus was not reached on a definition of Agent since the group is still undecided as to whether the concept should be defined independently of process execution or not.
15:32:19 <paolo> Luc: some terms still require consensus, it would help to make progress today
15:32:29 <Luc>  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-prov-wg/2011Jun/0460.html
15:33:02 <paolo> Luc: the idea is that PIL is an /assertion language/
15:33:22 <Luc> q?
15:33:25 <paolo> idea socialized on the list but little feedback so far
15:33:32 <Luc> q?
15:34:05 <paolo> Jim Myers: that's fine, but what does that do for us?
15:34:51 <paolo> Luc: recurrent theme is that there are "asserters" in our definitions. So we may as well make it explicit upfront
15:35:24 <paolo> Jim: the idea of multiple witnesses that we agree on is aligned with this, so as a convenience that's fine
15:35:27 <satya> q+
15:35:30 <tfrancart> q+
15:35:34 <Luc> q?
15:35:37 <Luc> ack satya
15:36:13 <paolo> Satya: to follow up: if we see PIL in the RDF context, it follows naturally
15:36:23 <pgroth> stating the obvious isn't a bad thing ;-)
15:36:30 <paolo> Luc: yes, but for a different serialization this may be less obvious
15:36:34 <paolo> q+
15:36:34 <satya> ok
15:37:01 <paolo> Thomas: shouldn't we also define rules (inference) that come with assertions?
15:37:39 <paolo> Luc: this idea has been circulated, we currently are agnostic regarding the types of assertions -- rules may well be included
15:37:43 <satya> @Thomas: Inference will require us to define the formal semantics of the PIL first

15:39:25 <Luc> ack paolo

15:40:22 <paolo> Satya: inference is a mechanism to produce new assertions, note that the Rule exchange language is standard with W3C
15:40:41 <Luc> q?
15:40:42 <ralphh> +q
15:40:44 <paolo> Satya: what is the rule language? we need a formal semantics for PIL before we can move on to rules 
15:41:10 <Zakim> - +1.217.417.aagg
15:41:18 <paolo> Ralph: can we have a reference to PIL? how about refutation, conjecture in addition to asertion

15:41:44 <paolo> Luc: PIL is what we are defining. it's a codename
15:42:04 <paolo> Luc: conjecture, refutation not part of charter but may well be discussed 
15:42:05 <Luc> q?
15:42:07 <jorn> q+
15:42:14 <Luc> PROPOSED: PIL is an assertion language, which allows asserters to make assertions about stuffs and activities in the real world (as they view it) and how they influence each other.

15:43:38 <paolo> Luc: on the concept of Derivation
15:44:00 <Luc> q?
15:44:05 <paolo> Luc: any major objection to the proposal? (see link)
15:44:13 <Luc> q?
15:44:29 <Luc> PROPOSED: Derivation represents how stuff is transformed from, created from, or affected by other stuff. A thing B is derived from a thing A if the values of some invariant properties of B are at least partially determined by the values of some invariant properties of A.

15:47:05 <paolo> zednik: just looked at proposal. is Derivation is a relation or a thing?
15:47:14 <satya> @Stephan - I agree, derivation is a property
15:47:22 <paolo> it  ought to be a relation
15:48:01 <stain> it sounds like a relation to me.. but which could also have deeper details (such as a link to a process execution)
15:48:06 <Luc> q?
15:48:20 <paolo> Luc: up for discussion at F2F. Others raised the issue
15:48:36 <pgroth> i guess it's just english
15:48:36 <paolo> zednik: are we also saying /how/ something was derived?
15:48:48 <satya> @Stephan: The how part is not covered in derivation (my POV)
15:49:16 <pgroth> the transformation of stuff from?
15:49:43 <Luc> PROPOSED: Derivation expresses that some stuff is transformed from, created from, or affected by other stuff. A thing B is derived from a thing A if the values of some invariant properties of B are at least partially determined by the values of some invariant properties of A.
15:49:53 <Luc> ack zednik
15:50:22 <paolo> Ralph: derivation is a transformation, but a reified relationship 
15:50:36 <jorn> one could always reificate more information onto the derivation statement, couldn't one?
15:50:58 <paolo> Ralph: affected by: opens up derivation in a bigger notion, not sure about the term "affect" 
15:51:46 <paolo> Luc: first sentence about high level idea of what Derivation is, clearly it's not formal 
15:52:22 <Luc> ack 
15:52:23 <stain> What if we add "In PIL, a thing B is..."
15:52:23 <paolo> Luc: second part triesd to explain what Derviation means wrt the constructs of the language. Says how Derivation can influence some properties

15:57:37 <paolo> [sorry I missed Luc's sentences]
15:57:54 <Luc> PROPOSED: An agent is an active thing. It may be linked to a process  execution, for example, by controlling it. Examples of agent include person, organization, and software agent.

15:59:08 <pgroth> In pil: "things" represent real-world stuffs and have properties modeling aspects of stuff states

15:59:46 <Luc> q?
15:59:50 <Luc> ack paolo
15:59:55 <ralphh> instead of "Thing" not "Agent"
15:59:59 <paolo> Ralph: Can we replace "thing" with "party" in the def?
15:59:59 <Luc> PROPOSED: An agent is an active thing. It may be linked to a process  execution, for example, by controlling it. Examples of agent include person, organization, and software agent.
16:00:33 <paolo> Luc: "thing" is used in the technical sense of PIL
16:00:45 <paolo> Satya: is linking an Agent to a process optional?
16:00:58 <zednik> q+

16:03:32 <satya> Luc: Discussion on notion of Time in previous WG telcon
16:03:46 <Luc> n PIL, there are different kinds of events: beginning of process execution, end of process execution, generation of thing, use of thing, which satisfy some ordering, according to relation "precede": 
16:04:36 <satya> Luc: Four events identified with respect to the concept of Time

16:07:40 <satya> Stian: w.r.t creation and use of a thing, are they associated with fixed point of time (?)
16:09:04 <satya> Luc: Stian's example of streaming video can be modeled as either as a series of Thing or a Thing
