17:12:08 [niklasl]
q+
17:12:10 [draggett]
Jerven: we still need to fix on the syntax
17:12:25 [draggett]
should I push this forward, some guidance would be handy

ack niklasl
17:12:43 [draggett]
niklasl: we need to work though the pros and cons ...
17:12:45 [j22]
The issue is https://github.com/w3c/rdf-xml/issues/80
17:12:46 [gb]
https://github.com/w3c/rdf-xml/issues/80 -> Issue 80 rdf:annotation and rdf:annotationNodeID maybe confused by pre rdf/xml 1.2 parsers (by JervenBolleman)
17:13:18 [j22]
Yes rdf/xml needs a bit more time
17:13:57 [draggett]
Adrian: I have a much more complete list ...
17:13:59 [j22]
Yes, even if 5 minutes chat on rdf/xml would be appreciated
17:14:33 [pfps]
q+
17:16:02 [draggett]
It is a long list of people!
17:16:16 [lisp]

q?
17:18:16 [pfps]
so I would appreciate some help
17:18:23 [AndyS]
q+
17:19:28 [draggett]
AndyS: there's an issue on RDF semantics
17:19:36 [AndyS]
https://github.com/w3c/rdf-semantics/issues/183
17:19:37 [gb]
https://github.com/w3c/rdf-semantics/issues/183 -> Issue 183 Semantics tests : open issues (by afs) [ms:CR]
17:19:56 [draggett]
pfps: so there's 5 issues, but I am not sure where these should go
17:20:03 [draggett]
I asked for advice
17:20:09 [draggett]
AndyS: Greg replied
17:20:44 [draggett]
pfps: I will scream for help if I get stuck
17:21:10 [draggett]
Andy: main challenge is whether tests were correctly remove as being incorrect
17:21:35 [draggett]
pfps: so you're suggesting someone checks the semantic tests
17:21:50 [draggett]
AndyS: we only need to work worry about the RDF 1.2 tests
17:22:32 [ktk]

17:22:43 [niklasl]
This one is new https://github.com/w3c/rdf-tests/issues/288 (3 hours old)

https://github.com/w3c/rdf-tests/issues/288 -> Issue 288 Reification triple appears unexpectedly in results for SPARQL 1.2 reification queries: eval-triple-terms basic-2, basic-3 tests (by desislava-hristova-ontotext)

17:23:01 [tl]
s/work worry /worry
17:23:06 [draggett]
AndyS: an issue on Turtle
17:24:06 [draggett]
It is very difficult to change syntax on the Web as people will start using whatever is proposed

17:25:00 [niklasl]
q+
17:25:26 [draggett]
TallTed: it would make mine and many other people's lives easier if Turtle allowed trailing commas
17:25:52 [ktk]
ack niklasl
17:26:24 [draggett]
niklasl: when would it be possible to every do this? A new syntax?
17:26:49 [draggett]
... dependent on people updating their libraries quickly
17:27:13 [draggett]
TallTed: can we force a switch from 1.1. to 2.0?
17:27:51 [draggett]
niklasl: small changes may be acceptable as part of a major new version
17:28:24 [draggett]
AndyS: should people put the version on the first line?
17:28:37 [ktk]
q?
17:28:41 [draggett]
... better to add backward compatible changes
17:29:16 [draggett]
AndyS: another issue is adding underscores and numbers, but where do you drawl the line?
17:29:40 [draggett]
s/drawl/draw/
17:29:42 [niklasl]
Commonly used for 1_000_0000 etc.
17:29:59 [niklasl]
Supported even in *modern* C, IIRC

James: breaking changes should have major benefits, so I would not be inclined to support this
17:31:08 [AndyS]
ack lisp
17:31:12 [draggett]
Souri: I agree with that
17:31:16 [AndyS]
ack Souri
17:31:27 [niklasl]
Fair point.
17:31:53 [niklasl]
+1 to souri; I'm actually -0.9 on adding ^ (inverse)
17:32:09 [niklasl]
Though _at times_ I really miss it.
17:32:24 [Dominik_T]
+1 to souri too
17:32:44 [draggett]
TallTed: this change would make it easier for human authoring, but I can see the arguments against it, and consider them to be stronger
17:33:10 [niklasl]
( I've even used SPARQL constructs as "data with macros" :P (cf. TARQL) )
17:33:15 [draggett]
AndyS: it may be a modern convention, but it would be very difficult to adopt on the web
17:33:28 [lisp]
+1
17:33:54 [niklasl]
+1
17:34:09 [draggett]
... we would need to bundle a lot of changes with a major version number increment
17:34:24 [ktk]
q?
17:35:02 [draggett]
Adrian: anyone know who submitted the issue?
17:35:08 [draggett]
AndyS: no
