last meeting minutes

RESOLUTION: the minutes of the last call are accepted

2. Use Cases and Requirements

<phila> michaelS: No, I haven't

Simon was active on adding references

3: Technical Discussion

3.1 Constraints on Constraints

renato: key issue is that we currently have only a single constraint, how to extend this?
... One of the use cases were in Lisbon: a relative constraint like "may be published 30 minutes after the game"

<benws2> +1

phila: doesn't seem to me so over-complicated

<Brian_Ulicny> +1

phila: supports to include it.

ivan: is this about only a time constraint - or a more generic requirement
... But this could be solve by starting with the time constraint first and then to make it more generic

ben: thinks this is a general issue, not only about time
... there are use cases related to payments which are very similiar
... we need a generic solution

renato: we need also to express relations between constraints - something "constraint A depends on constraint B"

phila: are all relative time use cases about a related event
... in this case we only need a new "related event"

<phila> ac me

ben: another relative relationship is : payment per account, payment per person

ivan: asked renato to put in IRC his draft of a discussed new solution

renato: has no clear outline, only first ideas
... we need some thoughts how to do that in the ontology first, then think about encoding
... issue: we have to be aware that one thing may occur before the other ... maybe next week.

ivan: should we reorder the sequence of solving things

renato: ok, we could look at relatives time constraints first

<James> sounds a good approach to try

<Sabrina> Seems like a reasonable suggestion to me!

phila: use case "30 minutes after game ended" - what is the right expression to express this logic

ben: maybe the best way to test this examples

renato: constraints on constraints or dependancies across constraints?
... let's talk about extended relations
... to express alternative options, like 'pay' or 'subscribe to a service'
... what is the model for hat?
... does W3C has similar solutions for tthat?

ivan: cannot recall such a solution. What renato describes is very close to the previous use case
... - first you have the triples of the statement and then you want to make a statement about one or more of these triples.
... this is the typical case for using a named graph

Brian_Ulicny and ivan discussed options for solving that issue

ivan: thinks what is discussed must be expressed properly in RDF

ben: is this the case for latests suggestions?

<Sabrina> Agreed.... This is what we need to look into....

ivan: not sure, needs to be checked in detail.

<Sabrina> I"m happy to look into this

<Sabrina> q

phila: feels this goes in a very complex direction
... we might go outside OWL - will users want to do that

Discussion about the need for a reasoner.

renato: we need to make a model and include that into the existing one but next we need to fit this into the OWL of the ontology

ivan: we might define a reifiction-like object which might have additional information attached to it
... we might apply a specific URI to a constraint
... in a next step we could created a list of URIs/constraints and apply a next level of relationships/dependancies to them
... we should try that - may there are hidden problems

renato: the additional constraints should be added as additional data - the basic date should always be the same
... it would be great if some come up with example solutions this week and we could look at them at the next call

<James> I don't mind

renato: who volunteers for that`?

<James> sure

<benws2> Me too

<James> Be good to have more than pair of eyes

<James> *one pair

ivan: voluteers to look at the examples, but will be in China next week

<Sabrina> I will look into OWL

<Sabrina> I am also not here next week as I will be at ISWC in Japan

renato: will communicate next steps with the volunteers

<victor> (please count me in)

<Brian_Ulicny> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen%27s_interval_algebra

<Zakim> phila, you wanted to talk about Allen's algebra

Brian_Ulicny: we should investigate the different types of temporal relations

phila: Special Data WG is behind registering such temporal relations

3.2 Validity of Policy

renato: how to express that a policy is only valid in a stricly defined period - by what means to express that?

<phila> LOV search for valid from

ben: aren't there already existing time constraint properties?

phila: searched for "valid from" and found many

ivan: looks a provenance ontology, has some very specific time related properties - this group did not try to find a generic solution

<James> I think we want "expires"

renato: common wording is "valid from" and valid to"
... clarified the suggestion of "expires": is the same as "valid to"

victor: how to proceed, by exchanging emails?

renato: yea

4 Deliverables List

renato: the group has discussed already what should be put on this list. There is a list of documents in the Charter

<renato> https://www.w3.org/2016/09/poe6

renato: went over the items shown in https://www.w3.org/2016/09/poe6

phila: will support finding a solution for item 5, mapping

<renato> https://www.w3.org/2016/09/poe8

5 WG Timeline

renato: went over the draft at https://www.w3.org/2016/09/poe6

6 Action items + issues

victor: volunteered to organize the f2f meeting in March - details at the next call

ivan: will send out an email about what he discussed above

renato: thanked all participants and closed the call
