Concrete scenario should show this relationship. 15:42:45 <Yogesh> Satya: should constrain ourselves to the scenario for first draft. <luc>Summary: Paolo released a Provenance Model document for internal discussions, based on consensus reached so far by the working group, and presented in a coherent manner. WG members are invited to review the document and raise issues against it on the tracker. 15:42:49 <Paolo> http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/model/ProvenanceModel.html 15:43:14 <Yogesh> Paolo: link to latest version of draft.

Made iup, no pretense of being eventual graphical lang. 15:47:23 <GK> I would like to eliminate "bob"s from the specification... I'll try and formulate a proposal. 15:47:24 <Yogesh> ...each construct has definition and e.g. 15:47:27 <satya> @Paolo: like the graphical notation since it seems to be compatible with OWL/RDFS syntax 15:47:49 <Yogesh> ...There was discussion of IVP Of 15:47:54 <pgroth> q+ 15:47:54 <Luc> @GK, we have noted that too 15:48:23 <Yogesh> Luc: bob 15:48:25 <pgroth> I like it :-) 15:48:29 <Yogesh> ...looks bad 15:48:52 <Yogesh> Paolo: do not want to arbitrarilly choose terms till we have consensus 15:48:54 <GK> @Luc: fine... having a document to talk about makes it easier to make constructive suggestions. I'd like to *eliminate* bob, not rename. 15:49:08 <Yogesh> Luc: it would be useful to have readable text by replacing "bob" 15:49:14 <GK> Bits and bobs? 15:49:14 <Yogesh> s/test/text/ 15:49:16 <Luc> q? 15:49:54 <Luc> ack pgr 15:49:55 <Yogesh> Paolo: has been discussed in length, need to come up with something dignified. 15:50:28 <Yogesh> pgroth: question on process. Had number of model "actions". Should we eliminate them and redo them? 15:51:06 <GK> +1 replace actions with issues against documents, as appropriate 15:51:07 <Yogesh> Luc: should review actions and contact relevant people 15:51:20 <Luc> q? 15:51:55 <Yogesh> GK: action 30 should be marked complete 15:51:57 <pgroth> will go through the actions 15:52:01 <Yogesh> Luc: will do. 15:52:05 <GK> :) 15:52:27 <khalidbelhajjame> +q 15:52:31 <Yogesh> Luc: read document and raise issues. will discuss over email. 15:52:58 <Yogesh> khalidbelhajjame: raise issue for even minor things?

Description of ontology and actual owl file. 15:55:55 <Paolo> q+ 15:56:21 <Yogesh> Luc: it can just be owl file in repos and check it out thru web/mercurial 15:56:42 <Yogesh> ...do we have an estimate on when we it will be ready? 15:56:44 <Paolo> @Satya: why did you do a branch rather than a module? if that makes sense 15:56:50 <GK> q+ 15:56:51 <Yogesh> Satya: by next Thu 15:57:04 <Luc> q? 15:57:09 <tlebo> is the owl file on http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov ? 15:57:10 <Luc> ack paolo 15:57:12 <GK> q+ to ask about use of branch in repo for ontol 15:57:16 <GK> q- 15:57:27 <tlebo> +1 paolo's no branch request 15:57:28 <Yogesh> Paolo: why do a repos branch than a module under model? 15:57:58 <Yogesh> satya: interpreted Luc's email as need to create branch. 15:58:08 <tlebo> +1 having a module for ontology without a new branch. 15:58:16 <Yogesh> paolo: branch is hard to merge. 15:58:25 <Luc> q? 15:58:26 <Yogesh> satya: will craete module instead of new branch 15:58:40 <Yogesh> s/craete/create/ 15:58:42 <Luc> q? 15:58:48 <Paolo> @Yogesh: paOOOOOOOOlo :-) 15:58:50 <khalidbelhajjame> +q 15:58:54 <Luc> q? 15:58:57 <Luc> ack kha 15:59:16 <Yogesh> @Paolo sorry :) 15:59:29 <pgroth> there could be 15:59:45 <Luc> q? 15:59:51 <stain> I guess there could be syntactic arguments :) 16:00:06 <Luc> subtopic: Formal Semantics <luc>Summary: JamesC explained why formal semantics could be appropriate and he illustrated several ways to go about it. This was followed by a discussion on the purpose of the semantics and what it brings over the OWL formalization. It was agreed this topic will be revisited once a first draft of the OWL ontology is available, trying to identify issues that would deserve a mathematical formalization and that are not covered by the OWL ontology. 16:00:25 <jcheney> http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/jcheney/pilformalsemantics.pdf 16:01:07 <MacTed> Zakim, who's noisy? 16:01:08 <Yogesh> jcheney: slide 2: wy formal semantics is important 16:01:08 <stain> I love the romantic music 16:01:17 <Zakim> MacTed, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: 27 (61%), +1.518.276.aahh (40%), MacTed (65%), jcheney (96%) 16:01:31 <MacTed> Zakim, mute me 16:01:31 <Zakim> MacTed should now be muted 16:01:41 <Yogesh> jcheney: smaller core languages for java 16:02:01 <pgroth> Zakim, mute 27 16:02:02 <Zakim> sorry, pgroth, I do not know which phone connection belongs to 27 16:02:06 <Yogesh> ...description logic semantics, 1st order logic 16:02:08 <GK> DL, OWL, FoL, RDF all underpinned by model theory 16:02:19 <pgroth> Zakim, mute +1.518.276.aahh 16:02:19 <Zakim> +1.518.276.aahh should now be muted 16:02:23 <Paolo> Zakim, mute ??27 16:02:24 <Zakim> sorry, Paolo, I do not know which phone connection belongs to ??27 16:02:25 <satya> @GK: agree 16:02:31 <MacTed> Zakim, who's here? 16:02:31 <Zakim> On the phone I see pgroth, Luc, ??P8, Paolo, Curt, stain, tlebo, Yogesh, MacTed (muted), jcheney, Helena, +1.512.524.aaee, khalidbelhajjame, +1.518.633.aaff, 16:02:34 <Zakim> ... +49.302.093.aagg, ??P6, GK, +1.518.276.aahh (muted), dgarijo, ??P9, Sandro, +1.714.454.aaii, +1.860.673.aajj, stain.a, ??P48, ??P35 16:02:40 <Yogesh> ...Not same sematics as "semantic web" but in representing human knowledge 16:02:41 <Zakim> On IRC I see Reza, JimMcCusker, StephenCresswell, Christine, jorn, JimM, dgarijo, olaf, zednik, Edoardo, dcorsar, GK, rgolden, GK1, khalidbelhajjame, jcheney, tlebo, satya, 16:02:47 <Zakim> ...

The formalism will be much more clear than OWL in form of things like boundary conditions for the implementers. 16:18:08 <GK> @Paolo: if OWL can capture the semantics, then there is no (necessary) difference, IMO, 16:18:14 <Yogesh> ...If we choose description logic for math, it will map to owl easily 16:18:15 <satya> q+ 16:18:38 <pgroth> q- 16:18:42 <Yogesh> ...Math gives different way for representing formal model constraints 16:18:52 <Yogesh> Paolo: not fully convinced 16:19:10 <Yogesh> ...owl DL was not for designed for semantics of programming language 16:19:13 <GK> OWL *is* a DL language; mapping DL to OWL is misleading, IMO 16:19:24 <Reza> Please remember that implementers will need to tie Query and Model together with some implementation (implement search algorithms, etc.) and having a formal Model provides boundary conditions (for example, what search algorithms may not be admissible, etc. based on the mathematical formalism) 16:19:41 <Paolo> @GK I know, thanks 16:19:48 <Yogesh> Pgroth: difference between formulas and owl 16:20:15 <Yogesh> satya: @GK is echoing similar concerns 16:20:45 <Yogesh> ...if there are things we cannot model in owl, we can go to owl full and RIF 16:20:56 <satya> @Reza: That is exactly what encoding in OWL will do 16:21:14 <Yogesh> Luc: cannot resolve today. @jcheney, howshould we proceed? 16:21:25 <Yogesh> jcheney: wanted to start discussion. 16:21:42 <Yogesh> ...Know about DL and first order logic, not owl 16:21:44 <khalidbelhajjame> I like prolog :-) 16:21:49 <Paolo> +1 for the P-word (= Prolog) 16:21:50 <satya> @james: yes about RIF 16:22:01 <Yogesh> ...Several views on what formal semantics is. 16:22:17 <Yogesh> ...Need not do things two ways if owl is sufficient 16:22:27 <dgarijo> RIF is compatible with Owl, right? 16:22:37 <Yogesh> ...Can come back to topics in 1-2 weeks when I come back with writeup 16:22:51 <Reza> I guess I'm just unsure that OWL can capture exact boundary conditions, etc. Perhaps we can use the formalism that James wants as a test case to see if the ideas can or cannot be expressed in OWL. 16:22:55 <GK> @jcheyney: if you write something down, there are ppl here who can help with expressing in OWL, if possible 16:23:06 <Luc> q? 16:23:09 <Yogesh> Luc: satya will release first version of owl ontology in 1 week. we can schedule formalism discussion after that is done. 16:23:15 <Luc> ack satya 16:23:17 <pgroth> exactly, that's the point 16:23:31 <Yogesh> Satya: is scheduling telecon with Deborah. @jcheney is welcome to join 16:23:35 <pgroth> we shouldn't be artifically constrainted by owl 16:23:51 <pgroth> agree wiht Reza 16:23:54 <Yogesh> Luc: will work with jcheney to schedule call later 16:23:58 <Zakim> - +1.518.633.aaff 16:23:59 <Zakim> -tlebo 16:23:59 <Zakim> -Paolo 16:24:00 <Zakim> -dgarijo 16:24:00 <Zakim> - +1.860.673.aajj 16:24:01 <Zakim> - +1.512.524.aaee 16:24:01 <Zakim> -??P9 16:24:02 <Yogesh> meeting concluded 16:24:03 <Zakim> -Luc 16:24:04 <Zakim> -jcheney 16:24:06 <Zakim> -khalidbelhajjame 16:24:11 <Zakim> -pgroth 16:24:12 <Zakim> -Curt 16:24:12 <Zakim> - +1.714.454.aaii 16:24:19 <Zakim> - +49.302.093.aagg 16:24:21 <Zakim> -??P6 16:24:23 <Zakim> -MacTed 16:24:26 <Zakim> -??P8 16:24:32 <Zakim> -stain 16:24:35 <Zakim> -Yogesh 16:24:56 <Zakim> -Sandro #16:25:02 <Zakim> -Ronald 16:25:07 <Yogesh> Yogesh has left #prov # SPECIAL MARKER FOR CHATSYNC.
