TOPIC: XPath Selector
16:10:36 [azaroth]
Github: https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/95
16:10:54 [azaroth]
draft: http://w3c.github.io/web-annotation/model/wd2/#xpath-selector
16:11:21 [TimCole]
azaroth: the issue is a proposal to add an XPath Selector
16:11:37 [azaroth]
proposal: https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/95#issuecomment-186344208
16:12:15 [TimCole]
... will let us use XPath within in DOM-based targets, including HTML

ack fjh
16:13:12 [TimCole]
azaroth: questions, comments
16:13:32 [TimCole]
fjh: Does XPath have features that we want to exclude from being used as a Selector
16:13:50 [fjh]
q-
16:13:55 [TimCole]
azaroth: yes, functions could get messy
16:14:07 [shepazu]
q+
16:14:25 [azaroth]
ack shepazu
16:14:27 [TimCole]
... but hesitation about restricting is that then implementers would have to shut down bits of the standard XPath libraries they want to use
16:15:02 [bigbluehat]
shepazu: same difference
16:15:06 [TimCole]
shepazu: if you want to do what fjh suggested, you could simply identify the parts of XPath implementers should use
16:15:21 [ivan]
q+
16:15:25 [fjh]
+1 to suggesting portions to use, otherwise at ‘your own risk’
16:15:28 [TimCole]
... that would not require implementers to shut down bits of XPath libraries
16:15:31 [azaroth]

q+
16:16:56 [azaroth]
ack azaroth
16:16:58 [TimCole]
fjh: at a minimum there should be a warning to use XPath intelligently
16:17:48 [TimCole]
azaroth: trying to decide what we want people to use is overkill and could set precedent for CSS and other technologies that we want to use as selectors
16:18:46 [TimCole]
... we are not suggesting you don't do SVG animation when using SVG selector
16:18:54 [bigbluehat]
+1 to our not curtailing what "XPath" means in our spec
16:18:59 [azaroth]
q?
16:19:06 [TimCole]
... we took out a OA CG restriction on SVG selectors
16:19:23 [davis_salisbury]
+1 to not curtailing
16:19:34 [tbdinesh_]
+0
16:19:40 [fjh]
fine with a warning and not curtailing
16:19:41 [shepazu]
-0
16:20:10 [PaoloCiccarese]
-not sure what the danger is
16:20:21 [TimCole]
azaroth: a warning for selectors like XPath, CSS, SVG seems a reasonable compromise
16:20:23 [shepazu]
(the danger is lack of interoperability)
16:21:16 [azaroth]
PROPOSAL: Accept XPathSelector, as written up in the Editor's Draft ; add a warning to CSS, XPath and SVG to use as intended
16:21:24 [azaroth]
+1
16:21:28 [tbdinesh_]

TOPIC: Range Selector
16:23:33 [azaroth]
Github: https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/153
16:23:43 [azaroth]
Draft: http://w3c.github.io/web-annotation/model/wd2/#range-selector
16:24:20 [TimCole]
azaroth: this selector has a start point and end point (described by individual selectors) and everything in between is selected.
16:24:34 [TimCole]
... this aligns well with how ranges are done in DOM
16:24:51 [TimCole]
... makes it easy for implementers familiar with this use in DOM
16:25:16 [TimCole]
... still have time to remove from draft a little further on if new concerns arise
16:25:20 [ivan]

16:25:20 [PaoloCiccarese]
q+
16:25:22 [TimCole]

16:25:48 [TimCole]
PaoloCiccarese: we had a long discussion about these in the CG.
16:26:23 [TimCole]
... if we look at example #27, does this suggest range selector replaces existing selectors?
16:26:36 [azaroth]
Github: https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/177
16:26:41 [TimCole]
azaroth: now it is an addition, not a replacement, but see issue #177...

16:29:09 [ivan]
https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/177
16:29:24 [TimCole]
azaroth: we now have 2 ways to select the same span of text (second is using range selector)
16:29:24 [ivan]
q+
16:29:42 [PaoloCiccarese]
q+
16:29:46 [TimCole]

ack ivan
16:30:14 [TimCole]
ivan: I think text position selector will be widely used and therefore important to keep
16:30:25 [azaroth]
ack PaoloCiccarese
16:30:32 [bigbluehat]
+1 to leaving it as is
16:30:33 [TimCole]
... but duplication worth it to keep this very simple approach.
16:31:09 [TimCole]
PaoloCiccarese: Text miners need the less verbose option when you doing annotations at scale
16:31:24 [TimCole]
... Similar issue with data selector
16:31:52 [TimCole]
... so I am okay with keeping text selector because of compactness, not sure we want 3.
16:32:32 [TimCole]
azaroth: difference between text pos selector and data pos selector is that one works on underlying (e.g., without tags)
16:32:54 [azaroth]
q?
16:32:56 [fjh]
+1 to leave as is
16:33:09 [TimCole]
... possibly we could merge with a flag to indicate whether we are working on the text stream or 'binary' stream
16:33:24 [TimCole]
ivan: would prefer to keep separate, i.e., leave as it is
16:33:54 [azaroth]
PROPOSAL: Keep TextPosition, DataPosition and Range Selectors despite some overlap
16:34:02 [TimCole]
PaoloCiccarese: agree the way you interpert is different, so merging might make worse than having overlap

TOPIC: Dates in the model
16:35:09 [azaroth]
Github: https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/141

Draft: http://w3c.github.io/web-annotation/model/wd2/#lifecycle-information
16:35:45 [azaroth]
Draft: http://w3c.github.io/web-annotation/vocab/wd/#json-ld-considerations
16:35:49 [TimCole]
azaroth: addressed at 2 points in the draft
16:36:11 [TimCole]
... useful to look at JSON-LD context document which lays out how we've done the mapping
16:36:39 [TimCole]
... issue - XSD dateTime requires you to have time with time zone
16:36:56 [TimCole]
... proposal is to use the W3C Date Time Format
16:37:25 [TimCole]
... one catch is that Prov requires XSD DateTime
16:38:21 [TimCole]
... so since we already accepted using W3C DTF, the implication is that we are going to change generated (et al.) to map to AS rather than Prov
16:38:32 [ivan]
q+
16:38:51 [azaroth]
ack ivan
16:38:57 [TimCole]
... so proposed changes to our context document
16:39:21 [TimCole]
ivan: I don't fully agree with how you got there, but okay with end result
16:40:01 [TimCole]
... that being said, I don't think that because we use labels from an external vocab we have to use their data types
16:40:45 [TimCole]
azaroth: ivan is saying that we could continue to map to Prov and still use W3C DTF
16:41:07 [TimCole]
ivan: yes, I don't think it is necessary to require XSD DateTime because Prov does
16:41:22 [TimCole]
... but if we like AS for other reasons, that's fine
16:41:31 [azaroth]
q?
16:41:41 [TimCole]
azaroth: yes, AS does make sense here, unless others see it differently
16:42:01 [TimCole]
... any one want to retain these two mappings to Prov?

TOPIC: Multiple Selectors, States

Github: https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/93
16:44:15 [azaroth]
Draft: http://w3c.github.io/web-annotation/model/wd2/#sub-selection
16:44:25 [TimCole]
azaroth: primary issue is 93, but see also see 135
16:45:04 [TimCole]
... last time we were leaning towards proposal to use subSelector better than status quo
16:45:23 [TimCole]
... proposal preferred to inverse alternative
16:45:45 [TimCole]
... suggestion that it was unnecessary
16:46:04 [TimCole]
... proposal says to write up subSelector proposal and then discuss as new issue whether to take it out
16:46:09 [TimCole]
q+
16:46:22 [azaroth]
ack TimCole
16:46:35 [TimCole]
TimCole: OA CG added multiplicity late to reduce ambiguity and reduce opportunities for misunderstanding
16:46:59 [TimCole]
... helped that same construct could be used for selectors and resources used as targets / bodies
16:47:02 [TimCole]
... Given reconsideration of multiplicity in general, I am okay with the idea of replacing Choice,
16:47:13 [TimCole]
... does add ambiguity in that you have no way certain to identify the preferred alternative,
16:47:34 [TimCole]
... but this seems an acceptable amount of ambiguity
16:47:43 [TimCole]
... Similarly I am okay with replacing list with nesting
16:47:44 [azaroth]
Agree that we've lost preferred alternative for choice
16:47:54 [TimCole]
... However, if I understand correctly, subSelector and subState are intended to be recursive
16:48:04 [TimCole]
... so why not just adjust the definition of selector and state to allow recursion and avoid 2 new properties
16:48:16 [TimCole]
... the objects that can appear as selector and subSelector values (i.e., their range) is identical
16:48:25 [TimCole]
... the only difference is in domain, the domain of selector is SpecificResource,
16:48:38 [TimCole]
... while the domain of subSelector is essentially selector or subSelector.
16:48:49 [TimCole]
... I would rather see us simply broaden the definition of selector and state to allow recursion
16:48:59 [TimCole]
... the only real advantage of the subSelector / subState properties is it makes clear that other
16:49:09 [TimCole]
... specifiers do not nest. This can be stated. And if we ever change our mind, no new properties need
16:49:20 [TimCole]
... to be added, just up date the definitions to allow.
16:49:31 [TimCole]
... The proposed solution seems to leave open the door for considering this idea of simply allowing
16:49:40 [TimCole]
... nested recursion of selector and state, but if we get to the point of a CR with subSelector and subState
16:49:45 [ivan]
q+
16:49:49 [TimCole]
... we will have in essence precluded doing this since the sub-properties will by then be in general use
16:49:51 [azaroth]
ack ivan
16:49:57 [TimCole]
... so I in favor of the proposed solution if we very quickly revisit whether we need explicit new
16:50:05 [TimCole]
... properties or can make do by simply adjusting the definition of selector and state
16:50:30 [TimCole]
ivan: we have agreed to flag a featrre as 'at risk'
16:50:53 [TimCole]
... so we have the right to remove the feature before going to the next step

azaroth: one reason to have is to differentiate selector and state as potentially being chained.
16:53:15 [TimCole]
... but also the semantics are a little different
16:53:56 [TimCole]
... so you are applying the subSelector to a result (not made explicit) rather than on a source
16:54:45 [TimCole]
... not lying down in the road, but preference is to have a different term to make semantics clear and also to differentiate selector or state from other specifier

16:56:22 [TimCole]
PaoloCiccarese: let's make more concrete
16:56:30 [TimCole]
... assume a 3-D model
16:56:44 [TimCole]
... assume I rotate the model (State?)
16:57:09 [TimCole]
... now I apply a subSelector to select the region of the rotated view
16:57:38 [azaroth]
oa:refinedBy ?
16:57:39 [TimCole]
... we could have called it refiner instead of subSelector
16:58:12 [TimCole]
azaroth: another example is selecting inside a zip file
16:58:47 [TimCole]
