15:15:34 <Christine> My concern would be that at least some of the information may be personal data
15:15:44 <Yogesh> Pgroth: best thing may be to contact stakeholders to ask if they mind, esp. the freetext response. We can try to make this report members-only in the meanwhile.

#15:41:43 <Luc> Topic:  Discuss Plans for Model Task Force  
15:42:06 <Luc> Subtopic: Model progress review
15:42:21 <Yogesh> Pgroth: it is considered as a subset of journalism example. 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. Link should stay current.
15:43:34 <Yogesh> ...Have worked with Luc to consolidate discussion.
15:43:37 <Luc> q?
15:43:41 <Luc> ack satya
15:43:53 <Yogesh> ...Baseline wiki page from F2F1 and additional discussion from emails since then.
15:44:07 <GK> +1 not the union of all proposals!
15:44:19 <Yogesh> ...Spirit has been to not disrupt agreements but ensure coherent document for discussion.
15:44:49 <Luc> A few comments are available from: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/model/note.txt
15:45:14 <Yogesh> ...Process: open to entire group for contributions to discussion.
15:45:31 <Yogesh> ...List of constructs that should be part of language.
15:45:47 <Yogesh> ...Intro e.g. is a simplified version of journalism
15:46:08 <Yogesh> ...No official syntax proposal, anything else is ok too.
15:46:39 <Luc> currently, graphical notation is not explained ... but hopefully it is understandable
15:46:41 <Yogesh> ...Sec 3.3 graphical proposal comes out naturally. 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?

15:49:16 <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> :)

15:54:55 <Luc> subtopic: OWL Ontology progress review 
<luc>Summary: Satya indicated that an OWL ontology file will be committed in the mercurial repository by next week and that it will be followed by a document (the so-called formal model document) explaining the ontology.
15:55:43 <Yogesh> Satya: there are two ontology doc. not sure how to merge. 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

15:59:45 <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.

16:03:10 <Yogesh> ...Slide 3; not like a prog language. So why bother?
16:03:38 <Yogesh> ...identify which are individual entities
16:03:42 <GK> To some extent, if we have OWL definition we have some formal semantics automatically.  Certainly, use of model MUST NOT conflict with OWL or RDF formal semantics.
16:03:49 <Yogesh> ...formal basis for design decisions
16:03:57 <Yogesh> ...common starting point for users.
16:04:11 <Yogesh> ...not confusing like english language
16:04:33 <stain> @GK, but a formal model can better deal with use/generation time, IVPs etc
16:04:46 <Yogesh> ...people can make use of provenance without knowing how your system works
16:04:53 <GK> +1 start with _lightweight_ formal semantics (slide 7)
16:05:17 <Yogesh> ...avoid heavyweight
16:05:42 <Yogesh> ...inspiration from math model for data preservation

16:06:12 <Yogesh> ...Slide 4;
16:06:37 <GK> q+ to ask if this is introducing a new formal model framework, or is si=omething that can be described in terms existiong web formalists (e.g. OWL)?
16:06:53 <Yogesh> ...two MS documents in different formats represent same information
16:06:56 <satya> @james: I agree with your points on formal semantics, but I am confused how does what you have in proposal 1, 2, 3 relate to OWL/RDFS semantics
16:06:57 <Reza> IMO, this is excellent.  This type of formalism will probably answer some of the concerns I have regarding the model.
16:07:05 <Yogesh> ...Slide 5; 
16:07:11 <Reza> The formalism will at least drive at exact definitions.
16:07:28 <Yogesh> ...information content has not changed even if preservation method has changed
16:07:40 <Reza> How do we tie this type of formalism to the Model?
16:07:56 <Yogesh> ...Slide 6; asking informally for agree, disagree, nont want to answer
16:08:24 <Yogesh> ...its in the charter but we need not *have* to do it
16:09:17 <Yogesh> ...Slide 7; develop formalism along with model/schema
16:09:54 <Yogesh> ...Slide 8; proposal 3 is for lightweight first version
16:10:09 <Zakim> -??P35
16:10:21 <Yogesh> ...can end up putting lot of effort that may not eventually make it
16:10:35 <Luc> q?

16:10:55 <Zakim> GK, you wanted to ask if this is introducing a new formal model framework, or is si=omething that can be described in terms existiong web formalists (e.g. OWL)?
16:11:05 <Yogesh> GK: fan of formal semantics, but not too much. do not want to exclude
16:11:15 <Yogesh> ...as a result of formalism
16:11:39 <Yogesh> ...Is it a new framework? May cause problems for adoption.
16:11:58 <pgroth> q+ to respond to GK
16:12:00 <Yogesh> ...Cant we just use owl ontology that is in framework of web semantics?
16:12:18 <Yogesh> jcheney: not owl expert
16:12:44 <pgroth> q-
16:12:47 <satya> @james: capability of OWL (tractable fragment) is "sameAs" description logic
16:12:48 <Yogesh> ...Did not want to take things too far to make them redundant with existing schemas
16:13:37 <Yogesh> ...describe properties and relationships between artifacts. help with model interpretation.
16:14:05 <GK> I think that sounds like something that OWL described very naturally
16:14:18 <Luc> q?
16:14:26 <Yogesh> Luc: charter has something that said that formalism should capture math properties that cannot be captured in owl
16:14:29 <satya> @Luc: Would those properties be expressed in RIF?
16:14:47 <Luc> ack khal
16:14:51 <Yogesh> GK: we can see if owl can do job or not if we start simple

16:15:43 <Paolo> q+
16:15:54 <Yogesh> khalidbelhajjame: why do we need formal model? will be helpful for public, but will also be helpful for model TF members to gain understanding and precise definition
16:16:16 <GK> Khalid: +1 attempting a formal model helps to clarify ideas
16:16:17 <Yogesh> ...dont have lot of time. so light weight formal definition.

16:17:21 <Luc> ack paolo
16:17:22 <Yogesh> Paolo: if we choose owl for semantics for data model, what is difference between formalism and @satya's owl efforts?
16:17:33 <Luc> ack pg
16:17:49 <Yogesh> Pgroth: owl ontology trying to represent conceptual model in sematic web language
16:17:58 <Yogesh> ...formalism is math description
16:18:04 <Reza> As an implementer, specially given the approach of the majority of folks is to err on the generic direction, I think the formalism will be very helpful.  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.
