** Next Telecon
DECISION: Meet again same time, next week.

** Review of Completed Actions

All actions were considered completed.

** Progress on Primer Subgroup
EricM explained he spent some time putting together an outline,
pointing to core documents. He hopes to have people to meet
together on a telecon. DanC thought it'd be fine if it was
discussed on the normal RDF Core time. The time Eric proposed
was Wednesday at 10AM, which did not work for at least one of
the primer subgroup members (Aaron).

ACTION 2001-09-21#1: Eric Miller / Try to publish a TOC of primer stuff
ACTION 2001-09-21#1: Eric Miller / Organize telecon if needed,
and all interested parties can participate, if not, ask for
telecon time

** Issue: rdfs-no-cycles-in-subClassOf

Sergey decided that he was OK with dropping this restriction.

DECISION: To resolve issue rdfs-no-cycles-in-subClassOf by
deleting the restriction prohibiting cycles of subClassOf
properties. The meaning of a cycle of subClassOf properties
being an assertion that the classes involved have the same
members. A more formal specification of the meaning will be
given in the model theory.

Pat agreed to bring this decision back to the DAML Joint
Committee. We decided to put off approval of the test case until
next week when we had a better handle on how to structure the
test case directories. We decided next week we should look at
removing the restriction on subPropertyOf when Frank puts
together a similar proposal together.

ACTION 2001-09-21#3: Dan Connolly / Place
rdfs-no-cycles-in-subClassOf in proper place in directory
structure once that place is decided.
ACTION 2001-09-21#4: Pat Hayes / Take the subClassOf decision
back to DAML Joint Committee.
ACTION 2001-09-21#5: Frank Manola / Present similar proposed
resolution and test case for subPropertyOf cycles

** Model Theory Working Draft

We discussed that this doesn't change the current set of specs
any more than decisions the WG has already made, but merely
formalizes the text of the specs. We also agreed that this does
not mean we've formally agreed on everything in the draft,
merely that we feel it is ready to stay on the Web forever, and
that we're obliged to accept comments on that.

DECISION: Publish the Model theory Working Draft (with possible
minor cosmetic changes)
ACTION 2001-09-21#6: Dan Connolly / Act as staff contact for
publication of Model Theory Working Draft

** RDF Schema Status

While DanBri was absent, we noted that he reported by email that
he planned to have the WD next Wednesday for review. It might be
too late for us to review it by Friday, but it will go on the
agenda if it arrives.

** Propose test case
wg/2001Sep/0109.html

Jeremy explained that this was an XML error to catch those that
didn't use established MXL infrastructure. A number of people
looked at the test case and said it was fine.

ACTION 2001-09-21#7: Jeremy Carroll / Add a comment to explain
the error in
wg/2001Sep/att-0109/01-error001.rdf
DECISION: Approve
wg/2001Sep/att-0109/01-error001.rdf with above caveat
ACTION 2001-09-21#8: Art Barstow / Update
url/test001.rdf to include an explanation of the test case
(especially for those whose browsers convert & to & for
them).
DECISION: Approve
tests/rdfcore/amp-in-url/test001.rdf with above caveat

** Test cases that don't fit the RDF/XML -> N-Triples paradigm

Jos volunteered to write up a proposal of entailment tests, he
felt that it was a simple problem. Jan Grant suggested we use an
RDF manifest (manifest.rdf) of the tests to explain things to
automated tools.

ACTION 2001-09-21#9: Jos de Roo / Write up something to describe
these entailment tests (with help from Pat)
ACTION 2001-09-21#10: Jan Grant / Write up proposal for an RDF
test case manifest
ACTION 2001-09-21#11: Art Barstow / Collect the above materials
for inclusion the RDF Test Cases WD

** parseType QNames

Bill explained he was writing up another version of his
proposal, which should be on the list Monday. We should have a
yes/no vote on Friday. He explained the proposal only affected
future parseType's. There was some discussion about
incompatibility with some daml:collection parsers, but we seemed
to agree this was a minor point. (Note to those who have
daml:collection parsers, please make your parsers understand
this as a QName, not a fixed literal.)

ACTION 2001-09-21#11: Bill DeHora / Take proposal to the list
next week on parseType QNames

** Other discussions

ACTION 2001-09-21#12: Bill DeHora / Annoy Pat Hayes until
there's a Model Theory section in the primer

** Meeting Closed

14:10:36 works for billd, frank manola
14:10:55 eric: separate telecon to kick it off,
might be a large chunk of time
14:11:06 ... thought it'd be better use of time,
report back to larger group
14:11:12 danc: rather do it here, at this telecon
14:11:16 sergey has joined #rdfcore
14:11:23 ... recommend people volunteer by writing stuff
14:11:28 mdean_ has quit
14:11:32 ora has quit
14:11:50 eric: trying to build a table of contents
14:12:01 ... willing to do it here, if chair wants
14:12:03 ... want to make sure we all agree on outline

have wished

14:12:33

    OL has joined #rdfcore
    14:12:47 jeremy: prefer not to have it in core
    telecon time
    14:13:22 eric: not saying we'll have a separate
    list... just a kickoff conferenece
    14:13:27 ... of course reporting back at core meeting
    14:14:02 bwm: try and find a time that works for
    all, if not, we'll allocate a chunk of time
    14:14:32 frankm: in addition, we can have a good
    amount of dialog via email, and drafting text
    14:14:52 ... bit theoretical to divide ahead of time
    14:15:07 ... can have some concrete stuff to go on
    14:15:17 eric: i absolutely agree
    14:15:28 ... just hoping to get it out, and we
    establish common base
    14:15:41 ... using list with PRIMER: syntax and
    get writing
    14:15:50 * DanC missed a lot of stuff from last week...

    14:18:18 Sergey: at F2F, I argued against
    dropping the restriction... company relied on it
    14:18:28 came to conclusion that having the
    restriction is not essential
    14:18:40 ... the tool can have a policy
    independent of the language
    14:18:50 ... enforced by the specific application
    14:18:58 ... Now, i'd go ahead with removing restriction
    14:19:03 * DanC cheers
    14:19:13 Proposal: to resolve issue
    rdfs-no-cycles-in-subClassOf by allowing cycles
    14:19:13 of subClassOf properties. The meaning
    of a cycle of subClassOf
    14:19:13 properties being an assertion that the
    classes involved have the same
    14:19:13 members. A more formal specification of
    the meaning will be given
    14:19:13 in the model theory.
    14:19:48 +Pat
    14:20:08 * DanC seconds the proposal
    14:20:24 Frank: slight change to the wording,
    after talking to Pat
    14:20:39 s/allowing cycles/deleting restriction
    prohibiting cycles/
    14:21:10 bwm: test cases decision separate from wording
    14:21:13 Any dissent?
    14:21:23 Any dissent to the no dissent?
    14:21:32 Unanimous decision.
    14:21:37 No abstentions.
    14:21:47 RESOLVED.
    14:21:49 -decision restriction subclass cycles
    are removed
    14:21:59
      * OL congratulates the wg
      14:22:05 * em raises hand
      14:22:39 * em just wants to make sure Pat will reflect this
      decision back to the JC
      14:22:42 jeremy: syntactic issues should be
      separate from semantic ones
      14:22:50 ... now just looks like a syntactic issue
      14:22:53 * scribe-Aaron agrees
      14:23:14 bwm: let's separate approval of test
      case, from test case directory structure
      14:23:22 danc: except that test case includes its name
      14:23:29
        * OL is sure that Pat and Ora both will (reflect
        the decision, that is)
        14:23:31 ... bit weird to approve it and then
        change it's name...
        14:23:43 bwm: editorial change not much of a problem
        14:24:10 DanC: would sure be nice to have....
        kinda hard to ascertain status from minutes, and links, etc.
        14:24:16 bwm: let's put it off to next week
        14:24:41 daveb, frankm, jos, i agree
        14:24:45 jos: perhaps a more complex cycle

        subproperty of itself, nor of any of
        14:27:03 A property can never be declared to be a

        14:28:17 Propose: Authorize publication of the
        Model theory WD at:
        14:28:25 sergey: what does this change?
        14:28:32 danc: we all have different ideas of the
        current situation
        14:28:43 ... is there an explicit enumeration of
        changes to the spec?
        14:28:54 Pat: I don't think it changes the spec
        at all... afaik
        14:29:32 ... it says that treatment of domain and
        range is different than RDFS, but we've agreed that should change
        14:29:48 JanG: the model theory is in agreement
        with the previous point we agreed on
        14:30:06 DanC: we'll have it on the web forever,
        and obliged to accept comments on it
        14:30:11 Pat: perfectly happy with that
        14:30:28 FrankM: One comment people might make is
        inconsistency with MT and specs
        14:30:38 Pat: later versions OK?
        14:30:40 Absolutely.
        14:30:46 BillD: Will this be a REC?

        14:40:42 12: Test cases that don't fit the RDF/XML to
        14:40:43 paradigm.
        14:40:43 does jema note decisions?
        14:40:43 Jos has volunteered to write up a
        proposal for entailment tests.
        14:40:57 yes, apparently ... they get emailed to
        the list after the meeting
        14:41:16 Jos: I think this is a simple problem...
        i guess we need some conventions
        14:41:21 have you been telling jema about decisions we're making?
        14:41:29 yes.
        14:41:33 ... i'm so glad we have model theory to refer to
        14:41:46 ... we just need some way to combine the
        pieces together... we need a way to describe that
        14:42:03 Pat: when you use the model theory in
        this context, you need to be careful about RDF/RDFS distinciton
        14:42:26 ... just replied to Jeremy Carroll about
        RDFS entailments which are not RDF entailments
        14:42:40 Jos: I understand... added -rdfcore
        switch to do that in our software
        14:42:58 ... the structure we have now has no problem
        14:43:11 ... schema issues require this kind of
        functionality in my opinion
        14:43:19 ... lots of cross combinations
        14:43:41 ... we need to reuse things... just need
        descriptions of entailment
        14:43:45 ... and tools with the same interface
        14:44:02 bwm: my reaction was that meaning is not
        obvious to me, not a logic geek
        14:44:08 ... I was asking "what is this?"
        14:44:46 Jos: the abstraction of the axioms was confusing
        14:44:56 ... we just need 1, 2, 3, 4... with
        different range and domain
        14:45:02 ... and say it's valid... it's possible
        14:45:11 Bwm: I just want you to write up clearly
        how they work
        14:45:29 Jos: two steps... 1-1 mapping
        14:45:50 ... I agree... machine understanable description
        14:46:12 Jeremy: I have a program that goes thru
        the zip and knows what to do
        14:46:26 ... if we have different instructions...
        clear to a program... it's much hard to write regression test
        software
        14:46:33 ... we need this for high quality RDF tools
        14:46:37 ... it's a must
        14:46:53 Jos: description of A, B, C entails D...
        not too difficult
        14:46:56 ... we need that, tho
        14:47:06 JanG: we need machine-readable manifest
        14:47:12 ... to see if it's parser tests, or entailment

              (mainly from GK)
              14:52:33 ... want to write it up now, in a
              less-featured form
              14:52:43 ... it should be on the list Mon, we
              should have a yes/no on Friday
              14:53:39 BillD: What we have in current M&S stands
              14:53:46 ... future implementors namespace-qualify
              14:53:51 DanC: just for new parseTypes?
              14:54:02 BillD: yes... or make it look so
              14:54:10 Jeremy: might influence daml:collection
              14:54:18 BillD: Is that a namespace?
              14:54:36 Jeremy: parsers tend to hard-code the
              prefix 'daml:'
              14:54:47 ... whatever the current state of the
              namespace binding... they tend to do that
              14:54:56 ... the proposal changes the behavior,
              as I understand it
              14:55:06 ... it needs to look at the namespace binding
              14:55:12 ... i'm happy, but it is a significant change
              14:55:24 DanC: You've actually seen code?
              14:55:32 Jeremy: I've written it
              14:55:39 DanC: that's a sin against the world!
              14:55:53 BillD: I haven't find anything that says
              it is namespace-qualified
              14:56:08 Jeremy: it never says anything about namespace
              14:56:27 DanC:.. yuck, it does say that... that's
              a crime!
              14:56:44 Pat: I don't think there's a great deal
              of code that this will destroy
              14:56:54 Pat: I think the JC will say "What?"
              14:57:10 MikeD: there are about 7 parsers... i
              think they hard-code it
              14:57:20 DanC: parser at W3C doesn't hard code it
              14:57:48 DaveB: daml:collection space was donated
              to my parser by a DAML researcher
              14:58:27 Pat: I wanted to as Mike if he thinks
              parsers are in deep dodo
              14:58:34 Mike: probably relatively easy to fix
              14:58:55 DanC: if daml is bound to something
              else, you can't pay attention to it!
