agenda?
14:30:22 [addison]
zakim, take up agendum 8
14:30:22 [Zakim]
agendum 8 -- webAuthn follow-up -- taken up [from addison]
14:30:35 [addison]
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2021Aug/0017.html
14:31:39 [atsushi]
addison: I was on WebAuthn call yesterday, creating very strange seriarization on natural string, and had discussion with them, raised PR from agreement on last one
14:31:58 [atsushi]
... but got strange answer, so get into call yesterday again.
14:32:32 [atsushi]
... I've brought options to them, discussed, and proposed to raise new PR before their next teleconf in two week.
14:33:26 [atsushi]
... for process, moving it to REC could be difficult, with metadata
14:33:57 [atsushi]
... one option is to have metadata in data fields, another is create new mysterias seriarization scheme than they currently have
14:34:18 [atsushi]
... using ascii character instead of unicode language specification character
14:34:37 [atsushi]
... like JSON-LD on the end of the string
14:35:32 [atsushi]
richard: removing existing lines is good idea, and replacing is a good idea too
14:36:01 [atsushi]
... it seems second point will take some long time
14:36:26 [atsushi]
... for three, field is already exists
14:36:40 [atsushi]
s/... for three,/addison: for three/
14:36:56 [atsushi]
... no3 could be a little faster than others
14:37:29 [atsushi]
... open to push no2 - the right solution
14:38:28 [atsushi]
... one option is removing bytes and introducing something codable characters, not sure will fit within existing bytes restriction
14:38:47 [atsushi]
richard: some examples could be helpful?
14:39:43 [atsushi]
... we are dealing with string containing data
14:40:19 [atsushi]
... adding metadata could be longer
14:40:46 [atsushi]
... we have fixed length string, so we can not just add metadata
14:41:32 [atsushi]
addison: challange is fixed size structure for this than, and asking increasing each size
14:42:08 [atsushi]
... looking UAX #47, longest non-extension and tag field is 53bytes
14:43:07 [atsushi]
[discussion on how to fit in short fixed size field]
14:44:07 [atsushi]
richard: the other thing, the language has this direction by default, but we need to eat more if will use different direction
14:44:49 [atsushi]
addison: credentials is normally email address etc., but could contain natural language-ed text
14:46:20 [atsushi]
... if that is the only string in the document, we can just use one metadata over document
14:47:38 [atsushi]
addison: additional field makes total size larger, and hard for small storage authentication tag
14:48:44 [atsushi]
richard: space constraints seems to be something important, all the bytes need for string as metadata need to fit within
14:49:04 [atsushi]
... serialization at the end of the string could be one of consideration
14:49:45 [atsushi]
richard: difference, data is the same whether including metadata - BCP r/l
14:50:12 [atsushi]
addison: difference among three, another field, possible truncation
14:51:49 [atsushi]
richard: another issue, where truncation is taken
14:52:10 [atsushi]
... if truncated after metadata added, all gone
14:54:53 [atsushi]
addison: concern is on wire or during storage
14:55:14 [atsushi]
... stored values with truncation could not be recovered
14:57:10 [atsushi]
addison: if we want to introduce in-string serialization, one is ascii serialization in JSON-LD, adding language and direction at the end of string, like three @-signs
14:58:01 [atsushi]
richard: if there is a size limit, starting with metadata could help
14:58:31 [addison]
https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/#the-i18n-namespace
14:59:41 [atsushi]
addison: just replacing 4byte value to ascii, can save some
15:00:38 [atsushi]
felix: they chose that at 1.1
15:01:36 [atsushi]
addison: will work on proposal with deeper discussion and reasons
15:01:36 [fsasaki]
s/they chose that at/json-ld seems to rely on RDF 1.1. for the definition of language tagged strings
15:01:59 [fsasaki]
[see this reference from the json-ld spec to https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-language-tagged-string ]
15:02:16 [atsushi]
richard: if you could find some examples, that's nice
15:02:46 [atsushi]
addison: reminder, Peter joining calls, on string truncation
15:04:05 [addison]
Topic: AOB?
