<azaroth> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Minutes of previous call are approved

<azaroth> https://www.w3.org/2016/01/20-annotation-minutes.html

<csarven> I'm in another meeting. re: 5. "HTML Serialization" . Just like to mention that, https://github.com/linkeddata/dokieli is entirely on HTML+RDFa + OA (position quote selector, and footnotes/references at the moment). Happy to give feedback or spec that out as needed.

azaroth: review minutes, check results of doodle poll on a new time
... then walk through the six issues we have in front of us.
... then 2x deferred discussion on HTML serialization
... if time, then discussion of selectors

azaroth: other than webex switch, any other announcements?

Logistics

<azaroth> Doodle link: http://doodle.com/poll/m25yrdi3fmne6src

azaroth: Frederick has a conflict with this time, and thus we need to select an alternate.
... Doodle link: http://doodle.com/poll/m25yrdi3fmne6src
... the proposal is that starting next week, we can switch to 8am PT on Fridays.
... any objections

<dwhly> ... so moved! and approved.

ivan: Tomorrow I'll change the webex entry
... I hope it won't force me to change the password and whatever

shepazu: I just changed a telco for another group
... it lets you just edit the entry to change the time without the rest

ivan: to be clear, we don't have a call on wednesday, but yes to friday ... the 5th of February for the new schedule

I Annotate / F2F

dwhly: Microsoft has agreed to host I Annotate in the atrium in Berlin on Under der Linden, a very nice space
... Giving it to us for free, which is a huge benefit. Normally 20k euros. Thanks to everyone, Ivan, Doug and Georg with the connections were helpful
... May 19 and 20th, Thursday and Friday, which implies the days before are for the F2F
... The afternoon of 17th, and all of the 18th for the F2F. Georg has offered DFKI facility for it.
... Slight conflict for the morning of the 17th, so 1.5 days
... Also planning a hack day, but don't have a venue yet. Randall has been helpful, but still looking for something for around 40 people
... If you're looking for travel support, let me know privately
... Does not look like we'll get separate support from the funders.
... Means there'll need to be a reasonable fee, on the order of 100 euros maybe, to cover catering
... So won't have a huge pot of travel money, but do let me know and we'll see what we can do

dwhly: We also put a coalition together called annotating all knowledge, to bring annotations to scholarly content
... Page with participants linked from our home page
... Aim is to get the publishers and platforms to interoperate
... Announcement is that there'll be a f2f of a large number of them in April 17th, in Portland
... Day before FORCE 2016 conference
... Anyone interested are very welcome to attend, let me know and we'll make sure you're included

<azaroth> TimCole: Registration pages?

<azaroth> dwhly: We made them yesterday, hope to send out early next week to previous attendees

<dwhly> TimCole: When are the registration pages going up

<azaroth> ... F2F up to us to sort out

<dwhly> TimCole: when is the F2F registration page going up

<dwhly> shepazu: I'll do it today

Issues

<dwhly> azaroth: issues, lets bang through them in 15 minutes

https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/86

<dwhly> ... there is a list of six issues. linked in

<dwhly> ... [someone] suggested a list of tags that could be added to the annotation

<dwhly> ... there hasn't been a concrete proposal, so suggest that we close the issue

<dwhly> ... is there anyone that would like to champion and make a proposal?

<bigbluehat> close and move on

<dwhly> ivan: what you did is something we should do in general. if there's an issue that's discussed, but no one that steps up, then we should either close or postpone

<bigbluehat> +1 to ivan

<dwhly> azaroth: +1

<dwhly> ... proposed resolution, close #86

<azaroth> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Close #86, won't fix, pools of tags on annotations

<bjdmeest> +1

RESOLUTION: Close #86, won't fix, pools of tags on annotations

<dwhly> azaroth: thank you ivan for closing

https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/87

<dwhly> ... next issue is #87

<dwhly> ... which is embedding annotations in the target document

<ivan> +1

<dwhly> ... proposal is that we postpone this one because it ties to other topics like HTML serialization. won't close outright, but won't work on it directly.

<azaroth> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Postpone issue #87, to work on later as part of future HTML serialization work

<ivan> +1

<takeshi> +1

<bjdmeest> +1

https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/107

<dwhly> azaroth: issue 107, opened by bigbluehat, on behalf of takeshi

<dwhly> ... we need a way to select more than just the textual content in HTML, for example if you wanted to annotate i [image heart] ny

<dwhly> ... currently not possible to include the heart. good issue.

<dwhly> ... reason to close is that it's been split out into separate issues.

<dwhly> ... it seems like there's nothing more to do, will be addressed with issues to come.

<dwhly> ... any objections?

<dwhly> bigbluehat: lets iterate on the next batch of selectors. lets close it.

<azaroth> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Close #107, as it will be solved by new selectors

<TimCole> +1

<dwhly> azaroth: done.

https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/113

<dwhly> ... next one is shepazu's issue 113

<dwhly> ... we should work through motivations and work through them with user-agent behaviors.

<dwhly> ... proposal is that we won't do this because we lack the time and it doesn't really add anything. doug are you ok with closing it, or can you work on it.

<dwhly> shepazu: i'd prefer not to close, lets postpone. i think there are other ways we can express it, could be worked into a spec, perhaps not this one.

<bigbluehat> propose to re-open if they arrive and are willing to work on it

<dwhly> ... as to who could work on it. the guy from europeana could follow up on it. i'd like to see if they're still interested. that's still ongoing.

<dwhly> azaroth: proposal is to postpone.

<dwhly> ... ok to postpone.

<dwhly> ivan: i have no problem postponing, but have the impression that the discussion that happened diverged from what doug started with, and we need to realize this.

<dwhly> ... the discussion i see with rafael and europeana is going in a direction that's different than dougs.

<dwhly> ... what i thought doug was suggesting was that we have a more disciplined way to add more motivations.

<azaroth> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Postpone #113, until we have further time and people willing to move it forwards

<dwhly> ... i don't think we should go in the other direction.

https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/119

<dwhly> azaroth: next one is doug's as well. issue 119, around having groups in the annotation model as opposed to the protocol.

<dwhly> ... again the discussion was also quite rich around audience and access control, which we know is important but separately covered.

<dwhly> ... having access control specced in the model was not good.

<dwhly> ... proposal is that we close 119 because it's covered by existing proposal for different components.

<dwhly> shepazu: i don't think this is about access control, I think it's about indicating.

<dwhly> ... nick or someone from H. should weigh in.

<dwhly> ... i'd prefer to postpone.

<PaoloCiccarese> I believe the same Doug

<tilgovi> +q

<dwhly> timcole: i agree with what doug's saying, we do have the same thing in other issues. i want to avoid access in authorization.

<dwhly> ... maybe we need a longer discussion with all the right people on the call.

<dwhly> ... if we don't have the right model for audience then we won't get the right adopters.

<dwhly> tilgovi: i'm not quite sure i follow. not in favor of specifying access control in the model.

<dwhly> ... i think this could be taken care of by existing things like tags.

<dwhly> PaoloCiccarese: We will need group models, with subgroups, etc. How is a third party system understanding.

<dwhly> ivan: i propose we postpone

<azaroth> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Postpone #119 for further discussion and proposals needed

https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/130

<dwhly> azaroth: next one is 130. at the moment, we use nick, because nick is kind of old-fashioned, so we've used account.

<dwhly> ... but there's also an "account" so there could be confusion.

<dwhly> ... do people think we should use something else?

<dwhly> ... no one bit, happy to close

<dwhly> propose we close

<dwhly> paolociccarese: can you explain your concern

<dwhly> azaroth: there is a property account, and also nick

<dwhly> ... we use account in the json-ld context for foaf-nick

<dwhly> ... so if someone wanted to use account, that would be a problem

<tilgovi> Anyone want to propose something else?

<azaroth> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Close #130, not our concern

<ivan> +1

<azaroth> +1

RESOLUTION: Close #130, not our concern

<Jacob> +1

<azaroth> "account": "azaroth"

<TimCole> +1

<azaroth> "foaf:account" : {"@id" : "twitter.com/users/azaroth42"}

<dwhly> paolociccarese: i think its fine

<dwhly> azaroth: lets call it closed

<PaoloCiccarese> +1

HTML Serialization

<dwhly> ... as a suggestion: where do we want to get to by the end of the charter.

<dwhly> timcole: question in my mind is: what do people on the call mean by html serialization

<dwhly> ... 1. we have a json-ld serialization by default

<dwhly> ... 2. turtle

<dwhly> ... 3. microformats

<dwhly> ... they could do that but we could provide some guidance

<PaoloCiccarese> 4. RDF/a

<dwhly> .... that's a bigger thing to bite off, might be critical for adoption

<dwhly> paolociccarese: some time ago, we played with some things

<dwhly> ... first level would be nice to have guidelines

<dwhly> shepazu: solution i'm looking at doesn't ask rdfa

<dwhly> ... don't know if this can be done.

<dwhly> ... i'm going to try this summer to start a spec for html serialization and see if there's interst

<dwhly> ... we could start, not sure we'll finish

<dwhly> ivan: getting back to what tim said

<dwhly> ... i'm looking for use cases

<dwhly> ... in between what tim said

<dwhly> ... i could see importance of html format even if target is somewhere else

<dwhly> ... an annotation system could put that into the dom in a dynamic manner

<dwhly> ... then someone could use CSS to style

<dwhly> ... i wouldn't even put tim's resrtiction in

<dwhly> ... rdfa or something else, i don't know

<dwhly> azaroth: +1 to ivan, having a set of use cases would be valuable

<dwhly> ... before diving in to rdfa, html, etc.

<dwhly> ... stakeholders, adopters, whaat are we trying to solve

<dwhly> timcole: agree on use cases, also in terms of formatting.

<dwhly> ... my suggestion is that when it comes time, we may have to do this 2x

<dwhly> ... if we get rechartered, might have to pursue longer term soltion

<dwhly> ... agree w/ doug. i'd propose what rob is suggesting.

<dwhly> ... use cases, how to meet them.

<dwhly> azaroth: seems good. anyone else?

<dwhly> ... lets make a gh issue with the broad set of things

<dwhly> ... include this discussion

<dwhly> ... this is not going to block CR or other processes

<dwhly> ... tim can u do

<dwhly> timcole: tomorrow

<dwhly> azaroth: there is a serialization tag

<dwhly> shepazu: f2f registration

F2F registration

<shepazu> Registration poll: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/73180/anno-f2f-berlin-2016/
