• reopen issue and close as Postponed
• add workaround discussion to ref (?), Guide (?)
• put idiom on OWL web site
• maybe release note on suggested handling (WG in critical path?)

ACTION JJC: propose RDF/XML syntax

DONE.

ACTION PatH: propose RDF/XML syntax

WITHDRAWN.

ACTION JJC: get real data about the complexity of italian banquet

WITHDRAWN (though it's still welcome)

JimH: doesn't look like something we can do without another last call. ... and in DAML it looks like there's not a lot of implementation

IanH: oiled fully supports it ... which is, in a way, how we got here...

JimH: does that mean fact supports it? IanH: yes. JimH: ah.

JonB: I wonder if some parts of the community already thinks this is part of OWL

DanC: example? "a baseball team has 9 players"? that's not it... "a baseball team has 9 players, 3 of whom are outfielders"

IanH: it's an expressivity change, because of [... details missed...]

DanC: we could talk about proposals to add it; I haven't seen a "soup to nuts" proposal yet

JimH: proposals in email so far are not just "do what DAML did"

JonB: these *Q things have never been quite clear to me.

IanH: recent syntax proposals might make it easier to do...

JimH: we could reopen [this issue] and postpone it... ... and work on proposals after this version

PatH: keep in mind that if it's not in this version, it won't go out for a long time

Guus: it does seem important, but it didn't come up in lots of DAML apps, so perhaps not that important. Note we didn't do stuff like defaults, which are also important... ... and note that someValuesFrom can help [?] ... personally, I'd like to see it in, but I see more reasons not to.

Jeremy: I'm sorta the other way around: I personally am still comfortable leaving it out, but the arguments against putting it in aren't compelling to me. ... what's going to slow us down is reasoning with individuals. [??] I expect a non-trivial CR while the community learns to deal with it.

DanC: I don't like the idea of sorta tacking it on after, though I admit that's possible. Let's decide to put it in or not... ... I think the case that they're needed is well made, but I'll need to see text for the guide and implemented tests before I agree.

DanC: let's reopen the issue, in any case JimH/Guus: we did that.

NOTE WELL: ISSUE IS OPEN.

DanC: how many want to postpone? could we strawpoll?

Chris: I'm prepared to do the guide; how many implementors are there? can we just ask them?

JimH: how many OK to postpone? straw poll shows: yes: several no: several

JimH: FYI, I phoned Alan R (the commentor) about the time cost... ... he'd probably consider postponing (with acknowledgement that this is important) acceptable

[... discussion of post-WG stuff... building user community, demand for new features...]

GuusS: regarding the medical community, protoge supports the medical community without QCRs, and would not like to add it

JimH: ... appleon toolkit... no QCRs... [?]

PatH: have they [protoge] decided not to have this?

DebM: yes; I went to a recent meeting.

DanC, suggested taking up Welty's offer to write guide text and perhaps his "ask the implementors" suggestion

ACTION GuusS: write proposal to add QCRs to OWL, including text for the guide.

ACTION JimH: notify the SemWeb CG that Richter's comment has introduced a schedule risk

Path: which costs more, more tokens in the namespace or more complex triple syntax?

DanC: what costs is changing the meaning of existing documents.

[... technical discussion, discussion of impact on NCI ontology... folks that want this recorded in detail will please send mail...]

GuusS: so keep the existing thing, but add something more general too... is that the way to go? [... some support...]

IanH: in 0176, I gave a pretty detailed proposal... Qualified Cardinality Restrictions From: Ian Horrocks (horrocks@cs.man.ac.uk) Date: Mon, Apr 28 2003 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Apr/0176.html
