Ralph: brief conversation with Sandro re document tools
ACTION: Ralph to liaise with Sandro re Documentation tools [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/11/21-swd-minutes.html#action02]
Alistair: Clarification whether
non-members can subscribe/post
... to swd mailing list. No link on the mailing list page
Ralph: Anyone can post.
Subscriptions are more complex
... anyone can read the archive. Subscriptions happen when sign
up to WG
... awkward to add others.
Alistair: why?
Ralph: No good procedural reason
as everything's public. No objection if we were
... to allow non-members to subscribe. Needs manual step to
approve.
Alistair: Mailed to esw-thes list
regarding SKOS discussion on this list
... maybe less accessible.
Ralph: Happy to talk about this, but reluctant due to extra overhead.
Daniel: For those working on use
cases
... how will that work. email goes back and forth with
users.
... these are non-members
Alistair: Why not cc swd list?
Ralph: Replies will be ok as
anyone can post to list.
... carefully use ccs
Guus: reply-all and it will all work :-)
Guus: Actions
... all to respond to Alistair's proposal. Some traffic.
Close?
Alistair: keep it open for another week. More feedback please
Guus: Alistair work with UCR editors.
Alistair: continued. Will draft email once a format is agreed
Guus: Daniel to send email about use case. Done
ACTION: all to respond to Alistair's proposal [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/11/14-swd-minutes.html#action05] [CONTINUES]
ACTION: Alistair work with the UCR editors to draft questions to invite the esw-thes mailing list to contribute to the use cases and requirements [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/11/07-swd-minutes.html#action10] [CONTINUES]
ACTION: [DONE] Daniel to send mail describing his use cases for SKOS draft [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/10/24-swd-minutes.html#action01]
ACTION: Jon, Daniel, Antoine figure out their individual roles as SKOS Requirements editors [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/11/07-swd-minutes.html#action07] [CONTINUES]
Daniel: Tcon set up for December 4th
Antoine: Read the use case
document. Descriptions that were there match what
... Alistair proposes. But proposal might lead to longer
documents.
Antoine: 2nd point, Link to part
describing the functionality and vocabulary. Should
functionality
... be built into the vocabulary?
Guus: Do you see consensus?
Antoine: No.
Guus: Based on what has been seen, propose a use case format to be used.
Alistair: In response, sent email
recently suggesting that Antoine is right to put
... more emphasis on vocab. Divide into two sections
... 1) Vocabulary. Extracts and description of stuff
... 2) One or more applications of the vocabulary
... Distinction between functionality and application is
good.
... Could also accept an application-only use case.
Guus: Need agreement on format.
Propose that we agree in the manner
... Alistair just summarised, and move on.
... Antoine and editors take action on this.
<TomB> +1
ACTION: Antoine and other editors to write up format. Email to list describing format with an example. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/11/21-swd-minutes.html#action08]
Guus: use cases from Daniel, Bernard and Alistair
Sean: also one from me: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2006Oct/0044.html
Alistair: Hoping for more use
cases from SKOS list.
... ought to have use cases for Dewey and UDC, AAT, MeSH
etc.
... important to capture these vocabularies representing long
history and experience
Ralph: Vocabs well respected in community. Also have recognition with the public
Guus: Timing. Message out to SKOS within a week. Allows time to prepare use case
<RalphS> Dewey in particular has broad public name recognition, so nice to have that as a use case
Guus: document for January meeting
Tom: Number of links to use cases. Get them into a wiki
Guus: Use wiki to keep track of this
Antoine: Planned to use wiki during the requirements gathering.
Tom: Prefer wiki or cvs? If wiki, need to have access
Guus: Good moment to start using the wiki
Guus: RDF in XHTML?
Ben: Little behind in RDFa
work
... latest discussion re. Tim Berners-Lee on html/xhtml etc.
... how to make RDFa work in all these things
... apologies for delay. Planning for use case
... and requirements in the next couple of weeks.
Ralph: Tom and Ralph discussing
how to keep SWD in touch with RDFa.
... separate RDFa telecons could do with some help/more
work
Ben: Invitation open to anyone
who wants to participate. Anyone interested in RDF
... and clickable web should keep an eye on this work.
... Ben needs to attend SWD telecons and will do so! More
... participate welcome. Interesting ideas to make RDFa work in
existing browsers.
Guus: All people in RDFa work will be participants of SWD
Ralph: RDFa is intended to be
jointly owned by SWD and HTML Activity WG
... charters for HTML activity not yet out for approval.
... suggesting that two people participating in RDFa
telecons
... Steven Pemberton and Mark Birbeck and Elias Torres
... should participate here. Elias keen. Mark willing and
Steven could
... join as W3 staff if he wanted to
Guus: Concerns
... 1) this work needs to be more in focus if we are to take
responsibility. We (WG) have to decide on it
... either discussions moved to SWD list, or we need more
intense summaries. Guus prefers
... former solution
... 2) Problems with HTML charter. Don't want to lose
commitment from HTML community to
... work on this.
Ralph: Agree. Expectation is that
two WG chartered for HTML
... 1) Traditional "tag soup" HTML
... 2) XHTML
... There will be joint work that matches the work of SWD
... Proposal for XHTML is to call it XHTML2 WG, but schedule
will include XHTML1.1 RDFa module.
... that fits with SWDs.
Guus: Still operating under old task force regime
Ben: Still operating under old
mailing list.
... Lots of thinking and private discussion going on. Not a lot
on RDFa
... Might discourage HTML community if it's not seen as joint
work
Guus: Let's not endanger
collaboration with HTML community.
... Make sure stuff is cced
Ben: Can definitely do that. For
now, let's cc everything and pare it down if it
... becomes too much
Guus: Introduce tags into the
mailing list. Propose RDFa tag for RDFa, SKOS for SKOS and
...for things concerning everyone, use ALL
Ben: Can we tag automatically?
Ralph: No
Ben: Request for more feedback
and involvement
... Refocus on spec over next two weeks.
... Use case/requirements, will mail list and canvas
feedback
Guus: Recipes
... Document (incomplete) published. Aggressive schedule to
republish.
... Authorships for new version?
Alistair: Unlikely to have time
to edit or be involved in this work.
... Would like to be, but can't commit
... No-one has yet come forward volunteering to edit
... A lot of people aren't aware of this work. Need to market
and push
... this issue and the fact that we're doing this. Lots of
effort has gone into this.
... People out there who might be able to add effort.
Guus: Fora for publicising this?
Alistair: Don't know
Guus: Willing to send message
pointing at original document and inviting people to
... join and participate in this.
... Semantic Web Interest Group?
Alistair: OWLEd?
... Issues about import etc.
ACTION: Guus to send email to SW Interest Group re Recipes [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/11/21-swd-minutes.html#action09]
Alistair: Also identity on the web at WWW2006
Guus: Principles for managing RDF
vocabularies
... No volunteers
Jon: I'm working on that stuff,
but don't have time to write on it
... someone in his group is doing change
management/versioning.
... High interest, but no time. If there's someone who'd like
to collaborate, would
... be interested
Alistair: If vocabulary has
change management/versioning in the use case,
... do mention this. Change management will be key to
SKOS.
... Must have at least and awareness of what such models might
be.
... Research is needed.
... Models of SKOS management may well be different to those
for e.g. DCMI terms
Guus: We need more people to work
on this
... Tom?
Tom: Would like to input, but
can't offer to edit it.
... Will think about where effort might come from. Cf. Guus's
message to SW Interest
ACTION: Tom to Consider call for participation for VM on model of Guus's re: Recipes [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/11/21-swd-minutes.html#action10]
Guus: F2F set for 22/23
January
... Tom and Guus to work on agenda just before Christmas
ACTION: Elisa to keep us posted as SKOS/iso 11179 compatibility issue evolves [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/10/31-swd-minutes.html#action07] [CONTINUES]
