14:21:53 <bwm> -agenda next

14:21:59 <bwm> -hi

14:22:00 <Jema> Hi. I'm Jema, the Jena meeting assistant

14:22:08 <dajobe-la> jjc: flying a kite, in jena they have repeated requests to roundtrip their rdf/xml

14:22:16 <dajobe-la> and we increasingly need to support it

14:22:24 <dajobe-la> has the WG any inclination to support it?

14:22:30 <dajobe-la> or postponed to rdf2?

14:22:45 <dajobe-la> on reflection, mistake I feel, any support for this?

14:22:53 <dajobe-la> jang: agree

14:23:10 <dajobe-la> esp if soap can encode rdf roundtrip wise

14:23:32 <dajobe-la> patH: issue roundtrip rdf/xml graph and get back same bnodes? or isomorphic?

14:23:36 <dajobe-la> jang: isomorphic

14:23:55 <dajobe-la> daveb: smaller change than others, less of a problem

14:24:09 <dajobe-la> danbri: use damlUnambigprop

14:24:33 <danbri> ...as one option

14:24:46 <dajobe-la> bwm: some people say good thing, not big change, no objetions

14:24:57 <dajobe-la> jang: no back compat issue, won't break existing docs

14:25:09 <dajobe-la> danbri: getting this right would improve credibility?

14:25:14 <dajobe-la> s/?//

14:25:36 <dajobe-la> bwm: suggest that jjc make a specific proposal to WG and do yes/no

14:26:23 <dajobe-la> -action jjc / make a specific proposal on node identifiers in rdf/xml uri for WG consideration

14:26:24 <Jema> Jema notes action 2002-07-12#5

14:26:29 * DanC_ waves, having returned from the dentist. Apologies for missing the telcon without notice.

14:26:39 <dajobe-la> frankm: askes us to use node identifiers rather than "bnodes" terminology

14:26:52 <dajobe-la> jang: minimal changes to test cases?

14:26:57 <DanC_> jjc, pls do it with a new attribute, not some wierd URI-ish syntax in rdf:about

14:27:50 <dajobe-la> daveb: notes that change would make it poss to make xml results of test cases

14:28:08 <dajobe-la> jang: seconds DanC_

14:28:45 <dajobe-la> jjc will bear above comment in mind

14:28:49 <dajobe-la> daveb: I don't mind

14:29:06 <dajobe-la> AaronSw: are we opening up the rest of syntax incomplete issues?

14:29:13 <dajobe-la> bwm: not this time around

14:29:21 <dajobe-la> PatH: nice try :)

14:29:25 <dajobe-la> item 13

14:29:28 <AaronSw> phew

14:31:06 <dajobe-la> back to item 13

14:31:18 <dajobe-la> bwm: other things between dopcs that we need to agree on, from f2f

14:31:23 <dajobe-la> consistency issues

14:31:29 <dajobe-la> jjc: way that references were done

14:31:54 <dajobe-la> daveb: doc publishing format guide explains that

14:32:18 <dajobe-la> danbri: illustrations - how much do we care that we use the same graphing tools

14:32:24 <dajobe-la> ... don't care much.

14:32:29 <dajobe-la> bwm: graphing look and feel

14:32:48 <dajobe-la> PatH: using omnigraffle

14:33:00 <dajobe-la> on mac

14:33:26 * danbri too

14:33:29 <dajobe-la> jang: uris for examples

14:34:09 <dajobe-la> daveb: have to use example.org, example.com, ...

14:34:23 <dajobe-la> urls in WDs, even if just body text, have to be u sed

14:34:29 <dajobe-la> ditto for examples such as rdf/xml

14:34:39 <dajobe-la> and test cases

14:35:02 <dajobe-la> bwm: standard prefix for that too ("ex:")

14:35:16 <danbri> See RFC2606 Reserved Top Level DNS Names

14:35:21 <dajobe-la> Path: want to write things that look triples, but have things that aren't such as variables that want to use for explanation

14:35:23 <danbri> eg http://rfc.net/rfc2606.html

14:35:24 <dajobe-la> but are in triples syntax

14:35:42 <dajobe-la> jang: should be ok, using "aaa bbb ccc." form

14:36:07 <dajobe-la> reviwe of proposed "model" doc

14:36:16 <danbri> don't use xxx (triggers spam filters :)

14:36:35 <dajobe-la> bwm: purpose and audience of primer

14:36:47 <AaronSw> ooh, random.example or something.test will work

14:36:49 <dajobe-la> frankM: a general introduction to RDF to msot people

14:37:10 <dajobe-la> ... has to handle a wide audience, with as few as poss assumptions about previous knowledge

14:37:24 <dajobe-la> and that was reasoning behind saying a little behind each of the documents

14:37:33 <dajobe-la> and length of explanation about graphs, triples

14:37:38 <DanC_> re illustrations: I've had good luck with dia lately. http://rdfig.xmlhack.com/2002/07/11/2002-07-11.html#1026372465.427020

14:37:49 <dajobe-la> i.e. enough for somebody who is coming to this wants to know

14:38:24 <dajobe-la> bwm: some want a quickstart doc

14:38:38 <dajobe-la> frankm: assumes they know some things already, say XML, and graphs then you can do that

14:38:54 <dajobe-la> ... not a quickstart guide

14:39:13 <dajobe-la> sine don't want to make assumptions of who readers area

14:39:14 <dajobe-la> are

14:39:22 <AaronSw> frank: primer is explicitly not a quick start guide because i don't want to assume the readers have the background

14:40:06 <dajobe-la> more discussion

14:40:10 <dajobe-la> new model doc:

14:40:33 <dajobe-la> jjc: current doc assumes reader wants to read a normative rdf spec and this is where they start

14:40:49 <dajobe-la> in particular sec 3 is intended to be a list of all normative stuff

14:40:58 <dajobe-la> and the complete normative statements by reference

14:41:13 <dajobe-la> and expecting a skilled reader

14:41:27 <dajobe-la> who wants to have the works and other speciifc things, including the rdf datamodel

14:41:42 <dajobe-la> PatH: it sounds like the rdf desk reference

14:42:11 <dajobe-la> frankm: seen size of physicians desk reference?

14:43:05 <dajobe-la> daveb: soap and xml schema don't ahve one of these

14:43:23 <dajobe-la> daveb: why do we have this new 20 page doc this late

14:43:30 <dajobe-la> jjc: material from different places

14:43:37 <dajobe-la> for the skilled reader as intro material

14:45:08 <dajobe-la> ...

14:45:38 <dajobe-la> fmanola: material in M&S which was explantory in nature which has exlcuded from other specs

14:45:59 <dajobe-la> ... and should be kept around, but primer was being overloaded - too long

14:46:37 <dajobe-la> .. needed a different home but end up with a kind of scrapbook

14:46:57 <dajobe-la> ... so need to fill it out to make it look more coherent

14:47:04 <dajobe-la> which tends to duplicate other stuff

14:47:14 <dajobe-la> jjc: need to make normative statements that dont' fit in other docs

14:47:41 <dajobe-la> bwm: move on

14:47:55 <dajobe-la> bwm: goal - uncomfortable with t his pointing to all other rdf specs

14:48:22 <dajobe-la> since will need updating

14:49:08 <dajobe-la> bwm: general observation - same thing being said several times, in overview and in sec 3 for e.g. saying we have a mT - repetative

14:49:19 <dajobe-la> main point - don't feel it is right this as a top pointer

14:49:29 <dajobe-la> because this is a normative spec and updating

14:50:02 <dajobe-la> daveb: I support this as a sibling

14:50:05 <dajobe-la> rather top doc

14:50:07 <dajobe-la> bwm: title

14:50:16 <dajobe-la> jjc: current title reflects this as top doc

14:50:27 <dajobe-la> then if not goal, need renaming

14:50:40 <dajobe-la> bwm: suggest as RDF - Abstract Data Model?

14:50:48 <dajobe-la> suggestion, come back later

14:51:24 <dajobe-la>http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Jul/0022.html

14:51:58 <dajobe-la> bwm: if we drop goal, then sec 3 largely goes

14:52:01 <dajobe-la> ?

14:52:07 <dajobe-la> jjc: I suspect so

14:52:56 <dajobe-la> bwm: gk suggests sec 5 some bits to schema - vocab

14:53:07 <dajobe-la> jjc: quite diff in flavour to current schema spec

14:53:34 <dajobe-la> ... and other M&S bits which normative status

14:54:02 <dajobe-la> bwm: danbri - sec5 stuff goto schema?

14:54:16 <AaronSw> can someone post a link?

14:54:21 <dajobe-la> above

14:56:02 <dajobe-la> was linked from above

14:56:44 <dajobe-la> path; not normative if in primer, problem?

14:56:52 <dajobe-la> frankm: well it is useful, but we don't say too much now

14:57:05 <dajobe-la> sec 6.2 this is

14:57:18 <dajobe-la> 6.4 seems xml syntax

14:57:52 <dajobe-la> propose move 6.4 to syntax

14:57:59 <dajobe-la> daveb: alreayd there

14:58:34 <dajobe-la> daveb: notes sec 3.1.1 also duplicates syntax but hey, sec 3 going ;)
