(happy to discuss in email if we're moving on) 16:33:06 <paolo> pgroth: suggest WD4 as it simplifies work on PROV-O, gives it only one derivation to work with 16:33:19 <pgroth> q? 16:33:23 <paolo> tlebo: agree 16:33:29 <tlebo> q- 16:33:33 <pgroth> ack pgroth 16:33:50 <stainPhone> @tlebo +1 16:34:02 <pgroth> q? 16:34:10 <pgroth> q? 16:34:24 <pgroth> ack GK 16:34:24 <Zakim> GK, you wanted to ask if "usage" and "generation" are events? (happy to discuss in email if we're moving on) 16:34:25 <paolo> GK: please continue discussion on the list. still some confusion 16:34:27 <Luc> To incorporate the proposal on derivation in the current editor's draft (WD4) 16:34:36 <Luc> PROPOSED: To incorporate the proposal on derivation in the current editor's draft (WD4) 16:34:36 <stainPhone> yes, how cam tou talk anput usage without the using activity? 16:34:51 <stainPhone> +1 16:34:52 <Curt> +1 16:34:53 <GK> +1 16:34:53 <paolo> +1 16:34:55 <tlebo> +1 16:34:57 <satya> +1 16:34:57 <Mike> +1 16:34:57 <dgarijo> +1 16:34:58 <khalidbelhajjame> +1 16:34:58 <SamCoppens> +1 16:34:58 <smiles> +1 16:35:03 <jcheney> +1 16:35:11 <pgroth> Accepted: To incorporate the proposal on derivation in the current editor's draft (WD4) 16:35:39 <GK> I think freezing an editors draft is editor's call 16:36:03 <paolo> Luc: incorporate proposal for derivation in WD4, then freeze WD4. fixed URL for internal use only 16:36:06 <pgroth> q? 16:36:36 <Luc> q+ 16:36:37 <paolo> q+ 16:36:49 <stainPhone> so wd4 will not be published? or later w/provo wd2 etc? 16:36:53 <Curt> PROV-N 16:36:55 <paolo> Luc: can we find a name for the ASN? 16:36:56 <Curt> ISSUE 273 16:37:13 <pgroth> q? 16:37:14 <stainPhone> something non-abstract! ;) 16:37:20 <pgroth> ack Luc 16:37:43 <paolo> q- 16:37:57 <stainPhone> PROV-N +1 16:37:58 <Curt> http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/273 16:38:03 <tlebo> PROV-N +1 16:38:04 <paolo> proposals so far: PROV-N and "functional notation" 16:38:11 <zednik> PROV-N +1 16:38:13 <GK> I'm OK with PROV-N.

This E-E derivation useful when that's not available? 16:46:23 <GK> I understand there;'s a need to express this information, but I thought it was possible through explicit activity/event expressions; entity-entity is for when less info is available? 16:46:58 <khalidbelhajjame> Usage + Generation does not always allow inferring Derivation 16:47:07 <Paolo_> Luc: activities are not just function calls, entities can be consumed at any time -- usage does not imply derivation 16:47:09 <pgroth> q? 16:47:14 <pgroth> ack satya 16:47:16 <stainPhone> q+ 16:47:28 <GK> Ah usage + generation !=> derivation - forgot that. 16:47:51 <Paolo_> satya: why should usage/generation/roles be brought into a derivation record? 16:48:04 <Paolo_> satya: we are not trying to make inferences using derivation 16:48:26 <GK> Stian not hearing you 16:48:29 <khalidbelhajjame> We didn't hear you Stian 16:48:51 <Paolo_> stian: (hard to hear) 16:48:53 <stainPhone> ok 16:48:57 <khalidbelhajjame> Still breaking Stian 16:48:59 <tlebo> is it this: but it is OK for a to be derived from b, generated by x, without x using b, right? 16:49:01 <stainPhone> ill type, go ahead 16:49:11 <Paolo_> (I missed it) 16:49:11 <stainPhone> tlebo, right 16:50:14 <Paolo_> Luc: @stian example is correct 16:50:30 <Curt> You could even have e2 derived from e1 in two different ways (two usage roles, if you will) within the same activity 16:50:32 <Paolo_> Khalid: essentially used imprecise_n derivation 16:50:45 <stainPhone> that makes srnse. but then you cant refer to those usages and generations? 16:50:59 <pgroth> q+ 16:51:05 <pgroth> ack stainPhone 16:51:06 <Paolo_> GK: is there a use case that requires this form of derivation? possibly can be rephrased in terms of the simpler use 16:51:25 <Zakim> -[IPcaller.aaa] 16:51:38 <Paolo_> Luc: proposal does not involve embedding a generation / usage record into the derivation. just a reference to those records 16:51:40 <tlebo> @gk, I share your "orthogonalizatiaon" interest, but I view the current definition as a nice way of unifying the (otherwise isoloated) constructs. 16:51:58 <Zakim> -??P5 16:52:14 <Zakim> +??P3 16:52:18 <pgroth> divison 16:52:30 <Paolo_> zakim, ??P3 is me 16:52:30 <Zakim> +Paolo_; got it 16:52:43 <Paolo_> Luc: will put an example in the repo for discussion 16:52:44 <pgroth> q? 16:52:46 <GK> (I would like to see a use-case that *requires* the complex form of derivation.) 16:53:32 <stainPhone> if wasDerivedFrom(a,b) wasGenBy(a,x) used(b,x) then you are not guarantee that a was derived through that usage of b 16:53:52 <pgroth> q? 16:53:55 <pgroth> ack pgroth 16:53:59 <GK> OK, if it's useful, then maybe it can be descrtibed as a syntactic sugaring? 16:54:32 <Paolo_> pgroth: possibly more than syntactic sugar? 16:54:36 <pgroth> q? 16:54:39 <satya> @Stian: yes agree 16:54:40 <GK> Thanks for letting us air the topic. 16:54:41 <Paolo_> GK: hopefully the example will reveal that 16:54:52 <Zakim> -Satya_Sahoo 16:54:53 <Zakim> -tlebo 16:54:54 <Zakim> -[IPcaller.a] 16:54:55 <Zakim> -Luc 16:54:56 <Zakim> -dgarijo 16:54:56 <Zakim> -khalidbelhajjame 16:54:57 <Zakim> -Curt_Tilmes 16:54:58 <Zakim> -[IPcaller.aa] 16:54:59 <Zakim> -jcheney 16:55:01 <Zakim> -GK 16:55:04 <Zakim> -??P64 16:55:10 <Zakim> - +329331aacc 16:55:11 <stainPhone> imagine used(bZip,x) wasGenBy(bZip, y) used(b,y) 16:55:16 <Zakim> -Paolo_ 16:55:17 <Zakim> -[IPcaller] 16:55:17 <Zakim> -??P9 16:55:33 <pgroth> rrsagent, set log public 16:55:38 <pgroth> rrsagent, draft minutes 16:55:38 <RRSAgent> I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2012/03/08-prov-minutes.html pgroth 16:55:43 <pgroth> trackbot, end telecon 16:55:43 <trackbot> Zakim, list attendees 16:55:43 <Zakim> As of this point the attendees have been [IPcaller], Luc, +1.443.212.aaaa, Curt_Tilmes, GK, +1.315.330.aabb, tlebo, khalidbelhajjame, sandro, Satya_Sahoo, jun, jcheney, dgarijo, 16:55:46 <Zakim> ... pgroth, +329331aacc, Paolo_ 16:55:51 <trackbot> RRSAgent, please draft minutes 16:55:51 <RRSAgent> I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2012/03/08-prov-minutes.html trackbot 16:55:52 <trackbot> RRSAgent, bye 16:55:52 <RRSAgent> I see no action items # SPECIAL MARKER FOR CHATSYNC.
