ISSUE-3?
08:25:43 [trackbot]

08:26:14 [cygri]
guus: I have to review how many comments there are
08:27:06 [cygri]
ivan: The role of the errata document is that if there's consensus on the comments list that something is indeed an error, it gets put into the errata document.
08:27:20 [cygri]
sandro: That may not have been done here as the staff contacts left etc

topic: rdf:Seq and implications for Adobe
08:30:37 [cygri]
davidwood: We resolved yesterday to mark rdf:Seq as archaic
08:31:10 [cygri]
... there's wide implementation in particular from Adobe in XMP
08:31:36 [cygri]
Larry Masinter: There are thousands of people in Adobe. That said...
08:31:56 [cygri]
... XMP has its own internal data model that is syntactically serialized as RDF/XML.
08:32:12 [cygri]
... It's also no longer an Adobe specification, it's now an ISO standard.
08:32:27 [Zakim]
+Gavinc
08:32:58 [cygri]
ivan: It's certainly true that the latest version of Photoshop uses rdf:Seq.
08:33:16 [davidwood]
Good morning, GavinC. We are speaking with Larry Masinger (TAG) about Adobe XMP and rdf:Seq. We will turn onto TriG next.
08:33:17 [cygri]
Larry Masinter: Why bother declaring something that is widely deployed as obsolete?
08:33:36 [cygri]
ericP: The goal is to steer new deployments away from rdf:Seq.
08:33:48 [cygri]
Larry Masinter: What are you trying to accomplish?
08:34:06 [cygri]
sandro: RDF has multiple ways of expressing sequence, none of which is very well supported.
08:34:30 [cygri]
... There's some agreement that rdf:Seq is the least best one
08:35:01 [cygri]
Larry Masinter: HTML has several ways of drawing things. It's not clear that there's a design pattern that there should only be one way of doing any particular thing.
08:35:28 [cygri]
davidwood: This is a weak form of deprecation.
08:35:56 [cygri]
Larry Masinter: There's a problem when standards committees try to constrain future standards committees.

08:37:06 [cygri]
... I think we resolved that people should use rdf:List instead of containers
08:37:26 [cygri]
davidwood: I believe we have a resolution that hasn't made it into our documents.

08:45:02 [cygri]
sandro: I hear Larry's advise that we should fully support rdf:Seq.
08:45:16 [cygri]
davidwood: Can you clarify whom you speak for?
08:45:36 [cygri]
Larry Masinter: Personal opinion. Informed by design principles.
08:45:50 [ericP]
q?
08:45:51 [cygri]
... Deprecating something that's used successfully seems foolish.
08:46:17 [cygri]
... The rationale for deprecating it is not clear.
08:46:57 [yvesr]
q+
08:46:59 [cygri]
... Photoshop and Acrobat are more widely deployed than the RDF tools you're concerned about.
08:47:37 [cygri]
... The rationale you gave is that tools you're aware of have trouble with rdf:Seq. There are many other tools with more market share that use it.
08:48:07 [cygri]
davidwood: Purpose of RDF is interoperability. Tools that use it only internally as configuration are different.
08:48:33 [cygri]
... The places where we see difficulties with rdf:Seq is in the possibly smaller market that is concerned with interoperability
08:49:11 [cygri]
Larry Masinter: The current RDF specifications passed the exit criteria, so do they not have interoperable implementations?
08:49:43 [cygri]
davidwood: R&D was done in the 2002-2004 WG. Widely criticized for that.
08:50:07 [cygri]
sandro: I'd like to clarify. rdf:Seq was in the 1999 spec already.
08:50:28 [cygri]
... So couldn't be removed due to charter

yves: [?] uses rdf:Seq to describe sequences of updates.

topic: TriG
08:56:57 [sandro]
that doesn't answer my question, actually, gavinc
08:56:59 [davidwood]
q?
08:57:37 [cygri]
gavinc: There is an editor's draft of TriG. It is old, doesn't reflect current "consensus" on graphs.
08:57:55 [cygri]
... Most of the document will have to change based on decisions made around graphs.
08:58:07 [cygri]
... Most edge cases change.
08:58:39 [cygri]
... Since almost all of the interesting design decisions change between TriG-as-deployed and the new standard, do we want to rename it?
08:58:40 [gavinc]
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/trig/index.html#
08:58:47 [cygri]
davidwood: I believe we have a resolution to keep the name.
08:59:23 [cygri]
gavinc: Some of us supported the resolution on the condition that the language mostly stays like TriG-as-deployed. This doesn't seem to be the case.
08:59:34 [cygri]
sandro: What's the biggest change?
09:00:03 [cygri]
gavinc: When I repeat the graph label multiple times, it is not an error, but the union
09:00:24 [cygri]
ericP: What does the old draft say?
09:00:30 [cygri]
gavinc: It's an error.
09:00:38 [cygri]
sandro: It doesn't invalidate old data.
09:00:57 [cygri]
... I'm pretty sure Anzo supports it already.

09:02:32 [sandro]
q?
09:02:35 [gavinc]
+q
09:02:45 [ericP]
... the question is "does it break the language?"
09:02:49 [davidwood]
RESOLVED: We will call a recommended dataset syntax "TriG", but informally and in the media type, "trig".
09:02:51 [davidwood]
http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/meeting/2012-10-03#resolution_5
09:03:05 [ericP]
sandro: i think it doesn't break it in most cases, less than the ways in which we broke Turtle
09:03:29 [cygri]
gavinc: All of the examples provided in the old spec are no longer TriG documents.
09:03:48 [ericP]
-> http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/bizer/TriG/Spec/ the DERI Trig spec of which we speak
09:04:12 [cygri]

09:04:42 [cygri]
... Gavin, issues related not to naming?
09:05:03 [cygri]

09:07:20 [cygri]
gavinc: I guess then there's one sentence describing it that matches RDF Concepts.

I rather like the idea of the TriG spec being 1 page. :-) (It can be if it just refs turtle)

... If you load a TriG file into a triple store and write it out again, you're not sure it comes out the same
09:17:29 [cygri]
... So what's the point of the default graph.

09:17:41 [AndyS]
?? it does in Jena.
09:18:34 [cygri]
ivan: There are default graphs in SPARQL. Therefore, it should be in TriG. TriG does not introduce any new concept, and shouldn't be silent on any concept that's in the data model.

09:22:15 [cygri]
pchampin: Let me try to rephrase. A TriG file represents a dataset. There's a correct way to parse a TriG file into a dataset.
09:22:53 [cygri]
... But what's less well defined is how to integrate a dataset into a graph store.
09:23:13 [cygri]
... If we validate a TriG parser, it has to be clear what graphs we end up with
09:23:31 [cygri]

Introduction to RDF Syntaxes?
11:07:17 [gavinc]
as part of the primer?
11:08:09 [pchampin]
sandro: OWL had an Overview document, to help people with a large number of documents
11:08:15 [cygri]
q+
11:08:19 [pchampin]
ivan: I think this is a good idea
11:08:35 [sandro]
http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-overview/
11:08:54 [pchampin]
guus: in OWL1, this was the first section in all the documents
11:09:03 [davidwood]
ack cygri
11:09:07 [pchampin]
ivan: I think a separate document is better
11:09:11 [sandro]
http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-overview/
11:09:52 [pchampin]
cygri: I'm not sure about the targeted reader of such an overview document
11:10:33 [pchampin]
... the need for such an overview exist, but then it should not stop at the boundaries of this particular WG
11:11:41 [davidwood]
For an example of a useful overview document, see the CSS WG's current work page: http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/current-work
11:11:44 [davidwood]
q?
11:11:51 [pchampin]
... the reader would also want to know about SPARQL or RDFa
11:11:58 [sandro]
RESOLVED: We'll do N-Quads on the REC Track, as another Dataset serialization syntax, in line with existing, in-the-wild N-Quads.
11:12:01 [yvesr]
so what should the primer 'syntax' section cover, then?
11:12:04 [pchampin]
ivan: I disagree, but that's ok

11:25:38 [davidwood]
Close ISSUE-35 We will not use an rdf:Graph construct.

11:31:04 [pchampin]
cygri: re issue-80 it is hard to get the document updated, as the WG is no longer active
11:31:54 [pchampin]
sandro: we agreed yesterday that we didn't need to update them, as they are referring to an older version of RDF
11:31:55 [sandro]
sandro: I don't think we need to do anything here....
11:32:52 [pchampin]
cygri: the problem is that rdf:PlainLiteral is in the rdf: namespace, and it should not be there anymore
11:33:34 [pchampin]
... OWL should now manage with xsd:String and rdf:LangString
11:33:57 [pchampin]
ivan: they can not make this kind of change now, only editorial changes
11:34:33 [pchampin]
sandro: the only thing to do is to send an email to the owl-comments list

12:55:39 [yvesr]
... I am working out what the json-ld data model actually is
12:55:48 [yvesr]
... I made an effort to spell those out
12:55:58 [davidwood]
cygri, done
12:56:16 [yvesr]
... There are a couple of things that I haven't quite worked out yet
12:56:34 [yvesr]
... The JSON-LD community should look at it to check I have got it right
12:56:52 [yvesr]
... There are a number of differences there, but that's not news
12:57:18 [yvesr]
... What I have written could be an input to that mapping process
12:57:28 [yvesr]
... It is going to go in that appendix that lists the differences
12:57:36 [yvesr]
... And thereby states how the two map to each other
12:57:46 [yvesr]
Guus: What is the nature of the mapping?
12:58:15 [yvesr]
cygri: There is a distinction made in the JSON-LD data model that wouldn't survive in RDF
12:58:37 [yvesr]

maybe we should address "Language tags are not normalized to lower case." by removing that from RDF (I'm not sure it's widely implemented)

cygri: The compisition of the RDF WG is an issue here. I'm not confident about this WG publishing certain kinds of things, since we don't have the deep technical expertise. Eg normatively defining APIs. Some people here know a lot about that, but it's not why we joined the WG. So that might push us towards not being as normative.

… Primer and New Features and Migration will both be notes as agreed yesterday. We have editors.
15:13:08 [tidoust]
… The rest of the documents (shown on screen) were taken from minutes over the last two days.
15:13:22 [tidoust]
… We don't have editors and so on. It's probably time to decide.
15:13:56 [tidoust]
… The first one is "show how g-boxes and g-snaps may be identified by defining predicates".
15:14:19 [tidoust]
Ivan: same as the one before the last one?
15:14:52 [tidoust]
davidwood: "Should there an ref:Graph construct, or something like that?"
15:15:07 [tidoust]
… [merging both proposals into one]
15:15:28 [tidoust]

15:15:35 [tidoust]
… Sandro was the main driver behind that.
15:15:59 [tidoust]

Created ACTION-203 - Identify an editor for a NOTE: Practical Use Cases of RDF Datasets [on Eric Prud'hommeaux - due 2012-11-06].
15:18:09 [tidoust]
Antoine: Just a note that we cannot define formally that a URI identifies a g-box because we don't have a proper g-box.
15:18:20 [tidoust]
… That cannot go beyond a regular English sentence.
15:18:27 [tidoust]
cygri: It could be in theory.
15:18:48 [tidoust]
Pierre-Antoine: How is that different from saying that foaf:person is not a person?
15:19:08 [tidoust]
Antoine: [scribe missed answer]
15:19:54 [tidoust]
… People use foaf:person for Persons. They refer to the English definition in a dictionary to know that a "person" has to be used with a real person, and that's enough in most cases.

15:33:00 [tidoust]
Guus: There was a very clean separation at first. Different roles for these serializations. We could still consider whether that's something we want to publish as a Note. Useful for the community or nobody will care? That's still a decision we have to make, because the document is there.

cygri, you wanted to ask about Test Cases note

15:47:11 [tidoust]
cygri: As part of the 2004 collection of spec, there's the Test spec. I'm not familiar with them. I think our charter says we may do something with it.

15:47:35 [tidoust]
… Given that we're going to have new test cases, there's the question of what happens to that.
15:47:42 [tidoust]
davidwood: It's definitely on topic.

Ivan: I think this is something that we should not decide now. There will be a moment where we will have to discuss how we organize ourselves to pass CR.
15:48:36 [tidoust]
… Whether it's a Note, a wiki, something else, we'll see when we get there.
15:48:51 [tidoust]
… One more thing, that being said: I think I would not like to see Test Cases Recommendation.
15:49:30 [tidoust]
cygri: I agree that making test cases a Recommendation is strange. It would make me feel good if it was clear that we have the intention of somehow doing something with the Test Cases document.
15:49:38 [tidoust]
Ivan: which document?
15:49:42 [tidoust]
cygri: The old one.
15:49:58 [Arnaud]
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases
15:50:06 [tidoust]
… The Entailment test cases, there will be a few things that probably won't be covered in there.
15:50:27 [tidoust]
Ivan: It is a Rec, that's why I disagree it should be a Rec.
15:50:55 [tidoust]
… If we do not produce a Test cases document, which may happen, then we need to rescind the old version of the document. Something has to be done with it.
15:51:04 [davidwood]
q?
15:51:06 [tidoust]
Arnaud: It's odd to have it as a Rec.
15:51:22 [tidoust]
EricP: It seems to me a waste of effort, but not a real concern.
15:51:31 [tidoust]
Ivan: It carries some sort of value that it doesn't have.
15:51:51 [tidoust]
Arnaud: It dilutes the value of a Recommendation.
15:52:04 [markus]
What happens to N-Triples then (is defined in rdf-testcases)?
15:52:10 [tidoust]
EricP: Right. It's kind of the same with Recommendation against reference implementation.
15:52:22 [tidoust]
davidwood: I think that's it for this topic.
15:52:22 [cygri]
markus, that becomes its own spec
15:52:45 [markus]
good

Guus: We may want to reflect on the meeting, and also wonder about planning one last F2F as we haven't be so good at planning F2Fs
15:53:44 [tidoust]

15:54:41 [tidoust]
Ivan: I think that we are in much better shape than initially.
15:55:01 [Guus]
zaki, who is here?
15:55:20 [tidoust]
… If everything goes well and we can go to Last Call or CR by end of January, I think that we're in a good shape, and we may get an extension up until end of 2013.
15:55:40 [tidoust]
… If things are going well, I'm not really sure that we need another F2F.
15:55:40 [tbaker]
zakim, who is here?

15:56:06 [tidoust]
… During Last Call we may of course receive comments from the public willing something completely different, but hard to plan.
15:56:30 [tidoust]
… The extensions, these days, tend to be shorter than before.
15:56:47 [davidwood]
s/all of Ivan's comments//
15:57:21 [tidoust]
… Our CEO will ask us to provide a timeline and proofs that we can meet these deadlines.
15:57:28 [tidoust]
davidwood: 6 months? 1 year?
15:58:10 [tidoust]
Ivan: Whatever we can justify and believe is needed. The reply could be "I give you 4 more months but don't try to come back for another extension"
15:58:20 [Arnaud]
q+
15:58:28 [tidoust]
… I think asking for an extension up until the end of 2013 should be enough.
15:58:42 [tidoust]
… with an internal plan that we plan to finish everything by summer time.
15:59:00 [davidwood]
q?
15:59:03 [tidoust]
… Hofdstater's law needs to be accounted for.
15:59:24 [tidoust]
… We need a long discussion on test cases.
15:59:45 [tidoust]
… Finding implementations of RDF 1.1. Small additions need to be found out in the wild.

Arnaud: Clearly, you can recharter for different reasons. Changing the scope is a buggy. Asking for an extension for lack of time with a convincing arguments is easier and reasonable.
16:01:18 [tidoust]
… I think we're in a good position from that point of view. A few months ago, it would have been a much harder sell.
16:01:35 [tidoust]
davidwood: Exactly. That's why we need documents out.
16:01:46 [Guus]

16:02:05 [tidoust]
EricP: The most substantial would be eradicating simple literals.
16:02:24 [tidoust]
Ivan: Agreed.
16:02:39 [tidoust]
EricP: The one I'm slightly concerned about is tension with SPARQL.
16:02:59 [tidoust]
… I don't think that's a major issue. I believe SPARQL 1.1 changes the notion of datatype.
16:03:31 [LeeF]
But yes, we tried to do that
16:04:10 [davidwood]
ack Guus
16:04:13 [tidoust]
cygri: [going through changes made about simple literals and other untyped values]
16:04:45 [tidoust]

ack ivan
16:06:56 [tidoust]
Ivan: In the RDFa Working Group, we had at least 3 implementations who were done during the development of the spec, people that had never met before. That was perfectly fine.
16:07:28 [tidoust]
… In that case, we had someone coming in at the last minute, but different implementations in different languages from different people is good enough.
16:07:38 [ericP]
i think it's important that implementors not only not speak to each other, but have sworn antipathy stemming from childhood rivalries
16:07:46 [tidoust]
Guus: diversity more important than what is inside or outside, ok.

davidwood: I had invited Doug to talk about WebPlatform.org as I was concerned that semantic Web would be left aside. However, I discovered last night that they use Semantic MediaWiki and plan to include all technologies.
16:13:54 [tidoust]
… I wanted to see how to provide content to the project as probably no one is going to do that for us
16:14:09 [tidoust]
Guus: Suggest we invite him to a next telecon

16:15:44 [tidoust]
Ivan: [raising possible issue with lack of "donator" for pages contributions to WebPlatform.org and getting references to other places such as universities]. To be clarified with Doug.
