Shane McCarron: The text currently reads:

15:07:04 <ShaneM> In order to maintain maximum portability of this literal,                  any children of the current node that are elements must have the current                 in scope profiles, default vocabulary, prefix mappings, and XML                  namespace declarations (if any) declared on the serialized element                 using their respective attributes.

15:07:37 <webr3> Ivan: in my implementation, I can produce all the xml statements, are definitions from within a prefix allowed?

Ivan Herman: in my implementation, I can produce all the xml statements, are definitions from within a prefix allowed?

15:07:57 <webr3> Manu: some @prefix values may override xmlns values

Manu Sporny: some @prefix values may override xmlns values

15:08:27 <webr3> Ivan: its really quite simple because all of this goes in to a single table

Ivan Herman: its really quite simple because all of this goes in to a single table

15:08:47 <webr3> Ivan: if i forget about the xmlliteral then I can do that, perfectly valid and works

Ivan Herman: if i forget about the xmlliteral then I can do that, perfectly valid and works

15:09:16 <webr3> Manu: they need to be kept seperate for case insensitive searching

Manu Sporny: they need to be kept seperate for case insensitive searching

15:09:41 <webr3> shane: you can't put everything in lowercase

Shane McCarron: you can't put everything in lowercase

15:10:21 <webr3> shane: lets focus, i think it makes the msot sense to tell people to maintain different tables, regardless - did we agree that we weren't going to do what is currently in the draft

Shane McCarron: lets focus, i think it makes the msot sense to tell people to maintain different tables, regardless - did we agree that we weren't going to do what is currently in the draft

15:10:55 <webr3> Manu: i thought we decided against the text in the draft

Manu Sporny: i thought we decided against the text in the draft

15:11:30 <webr3> Ivan: i believe the core of what i said is true, it forces me to keep things seperate that at some point are not seperated

Ivan Herman: i believe the core of what i said is true, it forces me to keep things seperate that at some point are not seperated

15:12:25 <manu> This is the issue: xmlns:FOObar vs xmlns:foobar

Manu Sporny: This is the issue: xmlns:FOObar vs xmlns:foobar

15:13:12 <manu> prefix="FOObar: ..."

Manu Sporny: prefix="FOObar: ..."

15:13:24 <webr3> Manu: we need to keep these seperate because prefixes defined by xmlns are case insensitive, prefixes in @prefix are case sensitive

Manu Sporny: we need to keep these seperate because prefixes defined by xmlns are case insensitive, prefixes in @prefix are case sensitive

15:13:40 <webr3> shane: why? (are they case sensitive)

Shane McCarron: why? (are they case sensitive)

15:13:55 <manu> so - xmlns:Agent="..."

Manu Sporny: so - xmlns:Agent="..."

15:14:10 <webr3> shane: they should not be case sensitive in @prefix

Shane McCarron: they should not be case sensitive in @prefix

15:14:12 <manu> is the same as - term: "agent" => ...

Manu Sporny: is the same as - term: "agent" => ...

15:14:13 <webr3> Ivan:  they should not be case sensitive in @prefix

Ivan Herman: they should not be case sensitive in @prefix

15:14:42 <manu> prefix="Agent: ... , agent: ..."

Manu Sporny: prefix="Agent: ... , agent: ..."

15:14:56 <webr3> Ivan: prefix and term are different

Ivan Herman: prefix and term are different

15:15:07 <webr3> Manu: there's another issue which means they are not so different

Manu Sporny: there's another issue which means they are not so different

15:15:39 <manu> Agent => Class, agent => property

Manu Sporny: Agent => Class, agent => property

15:15:55 <webr3> Ivan: term and prefixes are different

Ivan Herman: term and prefixes are different

15:16:06 <webr3> shane: prefixes are only prefixes if they are followed by a colon

Shane McCarron: prefixes are only prefixes if they are followed by a colon

15:16:29 <webr3> Manu: mark and I believe prefixes are valid without a colon, used as tokens

Manu Sporny: mark and I believe prefixes are valid without a colon, used as tokens

15:16:40 <manu> prefix="Agent: ... , agent: ..."

15:17:07 <ShaneM> The text current reads: Otherwise, if a CURIE consists of a non-empty prefix and reference,   and if there is an in-scope mapping for prefix (when compared case-insensitively), then the URI is created   by using that mapping, and concatenating it with the     reference.

15:18:02 <webr3> Ivan: I worry that we may over-complicate rdfa

Ivan Herman: I worry that we may over-complicate rdfa

15:18:20 <ShaneM> (to be clear, the xmlns syntax is NOT case insensitive - stupid browser implementations are)

Shane McCarron: (to be clear, the xmlns syntax is NOT case insensitive - stupid browser implementations are)

15:18:23 <webr3> Ivan: prefix and xmlns should behave the same

Ivan Herman: prefix and xmlns should behave the same

15:18:40 <manu> prefix="Agent: ... , agEnT: ..."

Manu Sporny: prefix="Agent: ... , agEnT: ..."

15:19:01 <webr3> Ivan: yes case insensitive

Ivan Herman: yes case insensitive

15:19:30 <webr3> shane: it leads to more room for error

Shane McCarron: it leads to more room for error

15:19:36 <webr3> general agreement

general agreement

15:20:46 <webr3> Manu: would we then have to encode all @prefix and @xmlns in XMLLiterals

Manu Sporny: would we then have to encode all @prefix and @xmlns in XMLLiterals

15:21:19 <webr3> Ivan: we should not go out of our way for an infrequently used feature

Ivan Herman: we should not go out of our way for an infrequently used feature

15:21:34 <webr3> Manu: Drupal 7 does this, it is quite common, 30k sites+

Manu Sporny: Drupal 7 does this, it is quite common, 30k sites+

15:22:46 <webr3> Ivan: if we map prefixes on to xmlns in the literals then it will all work

Ivan Herman: if we map prefixes on to xmlns in the literals then it will all work

15:22:51 <webr3> Manu: seems a little strange

Manu Sporny: seems a little strange

15:23:05 <webr3> shane: i thought you were arguing that we sould only put xmlns on xmlliterals

Shane McCarron: i thought you were arguing that we sould only put xmlns on xmlliterals

15:23:09 <webr3> Manu: true

Manu Sporny: true

15:23:20 <webr3> shane: doesn't that conflict w/ drupal use case

Shane McCarron: doesn't that conflict w/ drupal use case

15:23:42 <webr3> Manu: are we making a decision to not allow deep processing of XMLLiterals

Manu Sporny: are we making a decision to not allow deep processing of XMLLiterals

15:24:44 <webr3> Manu: we can say 1: the only things that get preserved are xmlns statements (are prefixes included)

Manu Sporny: we can say 1: the only things that get preserved are xmlns statements (are prefixes included)

15:25:12 <webr3> Manu: or 2: we do not support deep processing of xmlliteral (w/ terms, profiles etc too)

15:26:26 <webr3> Ivan: it complicates implementations in a way I'm not happy about, but..

Ivan Herman: it complicates implementations in a way I'm not happy about, but..

15:26:45 <webr3> Manu: if we were to preserve everything it would complicate things even more

Manu Sporny: if we were to preserve everything it would complicate things even more

Ivan Herman: i can live with that (2)

15:27:17 <webr3> Ivan: xmlns are pushed out to XMLLiteral and nothing else

15:30:19 <webr3> Manu: order of prefix evaluation?

Manu Sporny: order of prefix evaluation?

15:31:02 <webr3> shane: prefixes are ordered from left to right, in the sequence, section 7.5 ..

Shane McCarron: prefixes are ordered from left to right, in the sequence, section 7.5 ..

15:31:29 <webr3> Ivan: need to specify this, no preference for which order

Ivan Herman: need to specify this, no preference for which order

15:32:27 <webr3> Ivan: problem I have is that we have decided that the processing order of @profile is specified, so @prefix should probably be defined too, and match @profile

Ivan Herman: problem I have is that we have decided that the processing order of @profile is specified, so @prefix should probably be defined too, and match @profile

15:33:34 <webr3> shane: @profile is age old and should be defined as @profile always has been - prefix does not have to be the same

Shane McCarron: @profile is age old and should be defined as @profile always has been - prefix does not have to be the same

15:33:58 <webr3> Ivan: within the same specification, they should be ordered the same to save errors

Ivan Herman: within the same specification, they should be ordered the same to save errors

15:34:03 <webr3> Manu: i agree

Manu Sporny: i agree

15:34:57 <webr3> Manu: seems like last defined should win in presendence (  @prefix="a: http://a.b a: http://c.d" )

Manu Sporny: seems like last defined should win in presendence ( @prefix="a: http://a.b a: http://c.d" )

15:35:28 <webr3> Manu: where does it say in html4 how @profile values are given presedence

Manu Sporny: where does it say in html4 how @profile values are given presedence

15:35:42 <webr3> shane: common usage.. comes from css? some comment?

Shane McCarron: common usage.. comes from css? some comment?

15:35:52 <webr3> Ivan: i think it has something to do with css

Ivan Herman: i think it has something to do with css

15:36:02 <ShaneM> html4 says:  profile = uri [CT]  This attribute specifies the location of one or more meta data profiles, separated by white space. For future extensions, user agents should consider the value to be a list even though this specification only considers the first URI to be significant. Profiles are discussed below in the section on meta data.

15:36:23 <webr3> Manu: people are used to last declared wins

Manu Sporny: people are used to last declared wins

15:36:29 <webr3> Ivan: i agree

Ivan Herman: i agree

15:37:25 <webr3> Manu: shall we propose both profile and prefix are declared left to right, and last declared wins.

15:40:23 <webr3> Ivan: it's more natural to say, processed from left to right, and has to be clearly documented

Ivan Herman: it's more natural to say, processed from left to right, and has to be clearly documented

15:40:26 <ShaneM> rdfa core says: If any conflict arises between two RDFa Profiles associated with URIs in the @profile value, the declaration from the RDFa Profile associated with the left-most URI takes precedence.

Shane McCarron: rdfa core says: If any conflict arises between two RDFa Profiles associated with URIs in the @profile value, the declaration from the RDFa Profile associated with the left-most URI takes precedence.

15:40:28 <manu> Toby explained that the XMDP approach is to say that profiles appearing first in the list are /more significant/ than those coming later. That already points to a way of conceptualising this that is 'left-to-right'.

15:44:37 <webr3> Ivan: add a note to say right-to-left is more complicated than left-to-right

15:44:43 <manu> Implementation experience states that processing right to left is far more complicated than left-to-right
