10: Status on Incoming Last Call Comments

log: http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfcore/2003-03-28#T15-40-21

discussion of 2003-03-14#1 (jang): take a final pass of the comments list to identify remaining items that have not been dealt with or been assigned process numbers

Jang: will get to this early next week

-Have editors reviewed the editorial comments from the xml schema WG?

ACTION: Dave Beckett to get edits for Syntax from XML Schema review ACTION: Jeremy to update Concepts in light of XML Schema LC review ACTION: Frank to check for editorial actions on Primer from XML Schema LC review ACTION: DanBri to check for editorial actions on Schema from XML Schema LC review

Handling late comments.

brian: better shape than we were ...but new stuff just come in, SVG

dave: 4 weeks after LC ended, still ack'ing comments ...should say 'sorry but no'

danbri: obligation is for the period announced, but ...we can say 'we don't plan to treat this as a formal LC comment, but we nevertheless value it and will bring to attention of the WG and editors'

dave: do we have to handle comments forever? I close two, two more arrive...

jjc: i think it depends on the substance of the comment ...if it results in an improvement, we should look at it ...some are a waste of time

frank: two dimensions here ...if someone points out a ghastly error, we have to be responsible ...but process perspective is w.r.t. formal comments during LC ...we have to have a cut off date

dave: we're now two months after start of LC ...date should be today

brian: i disagree with this ...with having a fixed date

dave: hard to progress

brian: we have to balance a number of things ...have to get finished ...formally, process is that the Call ended ...WG has discretion to accept comments after the deadline ...in a sense dave is right, deadline was when set ...anything since, accepted out of goodness of our hearts ...as frank says, if glaring error we shouldn't ignore ...also politcal aspect, if we get comments from other WGs, we should err on the accepting side ...as need to build relationships with other WGs

see logs for full discussion: http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfcore/2003-03-28#T15-52-56

brian: is there support for taking view... be polite... receptive... with comments from now on, we'll decide collectively whether to feed them into LC process

danbri: what do you mean collectively? use telecon time to discuss whether to disucss...

pat: discuss on list, editors should be primary filter

brian: yup. default is still to accept ...editors can say 'this is a waste of time..., we can ignore this time'

danbri: we have a standing invitation to the world to send RDF comments to www-rdf-comments. they're just trying to be helpful...

Noting www 2003: http://www2003.org/ 20-24th May 2003

May 24th?

pat: that's reasonable danbri: a reasoonable goal jjc: as a goal, couldn't guarantee gk: too long! jjc: i can only spent 1.5-2 days / week on RDFCore currnetly pat: have we more substnative things to do? dotting is and crossing ts and fixing little bugs

13: Issues reagle-01, reagle-02

log: http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfcore/2003-03-28#T16-07-20

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#reagle-01 http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#reagle-02

Proposal from Jeremy:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Mar/0151.html

See: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/

jjc: we discussed this previously essense of change... to present in the specs model in whuch syntax spec does all the work + then add impl notes that say one can be a valid implementation by not doing the canonicalisation (?bad scribe notes?)

dave: general outline is good

jjc: implementation note in concepts is key point. ...impl are free to represent things in other forms (...)

jjc: ref to non-exclusive canonicalisaion gets dropped

ACTION: dave to check on whether status of 'notes' should be informative vs normative

dave: re reagle-01/2, is it 2 faced to say 'do it this way, but you don't have to'

ACTION: jeremy to add anchors to Concepts for def of canonicalistion, and for Impl Note

RESOLVED: accept jjc's proposal (unanimously)

14: Issue pfps-04,pfps-05,pfps-06,pfps-07,pfps-10

log: http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfcore/2003-03-28#T16-20-23

brian: who else could pick it up? ...jang, your review?

jang: basically positive. could be more explicit in a few places context: review semantics editor's draft wrt changed arising out of pfps-04 -05 -06 -07 -08 -10

brian: pat, you're off email until mid next week anyway ...may as well put it off another week. gk if you manage the review, that'd be great. if not, we will have to go with the 1 we have.

15: Issue horrocks-01

See: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Mar/0081.html

discussed action 2003-03-14#11 (path) produce words for a resolution to horrocks-01

pat: prob do thurs next week

16: Issue tex-01

log: http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfcore/2003-03-28#T16-26-49

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#tex-01

Jeremy's proposal to resolve: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Mar/0159.html jjc: in a way quite sim to canon'n one ...sol'n is similar ...move effort into an impl note ...on other hand opposite ...should lang tag be normalised to lowercase? ...ab syntax suggests should lowercase ...an i18n reviewer (not a Group comment) was concerned that lowercase norm'n was incorrect ...so should add a note saying 'only for purposes of abstract syntax that it is lc'

brian: why nromalise this way?

jjc: we wanted graph to be tidy with low effort

..if literals equal, need to be identical ...rfc3066 on lang tags, they're case insensitive ...tidyness violated by = instead of == test ...so we normalise

pat: we could normalise to uppercase jjc: why not, we don't care b: why not say isn't a case insensitive compare? p: graphs become untidy d: i don't like that p: just say that component of the literal is a 'language tag', and identity for those defined elsewhere p: some doc somewhere should draw readers attention to lc caselesness b: we were told not to normalise to lowercase ...why that not work for you, j? j: we could say in 'lit equality, two lits compare equal if...' j: I'll come back with that proposal

ACTION: jermemy update proposal on tex-01

17: Issue tex-02

irc: http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfcore/2003-03-28#T16-36-28-1

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#tex-02

Jeremy's proposal to postpone: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Mar/0155.html

[discussion]

danbri: i rec postponment, but being careful to track this and related issues for drafting of future WG charters brian: i think we should postpone

jang notes on a design: http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfcore/2003-03-28#T16-50-03-1

RESOLVED: accept http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Mar/0155.html

18: Issue williams-02

log: http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfcore/2003-03-28#T16-52-47

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#wiliams-02

Jeremy's proposal: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Mar/0154.html

jjc: I heard from MartinD, that i18n now no longer think normal form C good for IRIs ...they like it for Literals though ...but for IRIs, not mandatory or even suggested

jjc: we need an email from them saying that

...if we get that, and amend Concepts accordingly ...then our def of a URIref is same as Namespaces1.1's notion of an IRIref jjc: message ref'd from agenda should use IRIref, not IRI jjc: duplication not as good as reference...

ACTION jermemy to email i18n to get written confirmation re advice they give on normal form C for IRIs (affirm, withdraw?)

gk: stablitiy of IRI spec... it's still up for discussion ...how to deal w/ how chars such as SPACE, '>', '<' in an IRI are to be encoded in (say) RDF/XML. Also note some discussion about additional chars in IRIs noted at IETF URI BOF ..also gen concerns about stability of cited txt ...as it is a piece of text that says it'll itself be replaced at some point

danbri: do we know whether test cases need changes?

jjc: 3 or 4 testcases would have to change

jos: commenting on gk's.... ...namespaces 1.1 is in CR, just point to that, whatever they do... ...i support idea of IRIrefs as used in CR

frank: i oppose notion of changing to say 'IRIs' ...i believe it might be appropriate to have a note that our syntax for rdf urirefs is in fact an iri as defined in this doc ...but i prefer to have our pointer for such a basic concept not to be to an XML spec, but to a web arch spec of some kind

pat: me too danbri: q+ to express concern about URI2IRI

b: there isn't one that defines IRIs as chair, mindful to avoid change unless well motivated

ADJOURNED.
