2. Liaisons

2.1 SPARQL Last Call

ACTION: Jeremy to brief the WG on use of IRIs in SPARQL [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/09/19-swbp-minutes.html#action05] [DONE]

Jeremy: sent message "IRIs" earlier today. This issue, of W3C recs depending on earlier versions of IRI (before standard status), being not quite compatible with the IRI standard impacts many recs

ACTION: David Wood and Brian to review SPARQL Last Call document [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/09/19-swbp-minutes.html#action04] [DONE] [CONTINUES]

-> SPARQL Protocol Review and Comments [DWood 2005-09-20]

David's review done

DWood: my comments led to a long discussion between the editors
... I didn't want to see a requirement in the SPARQL protocol for an illegal use of WSDL 2.0
... editors were questioning ehther I was supportive or dismissive of WSDL 2 integration
... I support WSDL 2 bindings but want them to be legal
... the SPARQL language is still in Last Call; would the WG like my review of that as well?
... I expect DAWG would like review from SWBPD for both the Language and the Protocol
... I think Brian intended to review the Language

ACTION: David Wood draft SPARQL Language review on behalf of the WG [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/10/03-swbp-minutes.html#action17]

<aliman> I skimmed David's review, seemed good but don't have nearly enough tech savvy (or time :) to do a proper review

DBooth: I thought DavidW's review was fine
... what coordination is taking place with the WSDL folk?

DWood: it's the DAWG's task to do that coordination
... there's a not insubstantial amount of work needed to resolve the technical issue
... I don't think this work can be done during Candidate Rec phase

Ralph: is there an alternative for DAWG to not be dependent on changes to WSDL 2?

DWood: DAWG would have to give up some features in SPARQL Protocol
... I fear that the WSDL community is big enough that if SPARQL protocol is non-conformant, it will lead to SPARQL not being implemented

DBooth: the WSDL work has been going on for a long time. I was part of it at one time. I would not expect the WG to be very receptive to making changes at this point.

Jeremy: WebOnt completed before RDF Core WG finished
... we waited for a few months while RDF Core finished and this did not do any harm
... it's not a bad thing for a WG to wait; didn't need to hold telecons during that period

DBooth: I endorse David Wood's message that SPARQL should conform to WSDL 2

DBooth: I propose that SWBPD recommend to DAWG that the SPARQL Protocol conform to WSDL 2.0
... speaking personally, not for HP

Evan: I second the proposal

DWood: DanC forwarded my message to the public-rdf-dawg-comments list.
... there is continuing discussion under the thread "WSDL happiness" in public-rdf-dawg

objections: (none)

in favor: Alistair, Jacco, DWood, Evan, Ralph (speaking individually),

abstain: Benjamin

RESOLVED that SWBPD recommend to DAWG that the SPARQL Protocol conform to WSDL 2.0

ACTION: Ralph report WSDL 2.0 resolution to DAWG (after 24 hours) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/10/03-swbp-minutes.html#action18]

<Zakim> aliman, you wanted to ask about postponed issues for sparql

Alistair: my requirement is to get the contents of RDF Lists
... that's not in the current Language; I see the issue marked as Postponed on DAWG issues list
... what does 'postponed' mean? how long?

Ralph: generally, I think 'postponed' means "until the next group is chartered"

2.4 Protocol and Formats WG request

ACTION: jjc review EARL requirements [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/07/25-swbp-minutes.html#action05] [DONE]

-> Review of EARL requirements [Jeremy 2005-10-03]

Jeremy: shall I send this to PFWG as my personal comments on behalf of the WG?

Ralph: yes

ACTION: Alistair and Guus to help the WAI Protocol and Formats WG on their vocabulary [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/09/19-swbp-minutes.html#action07] [CONTINUES]

<guus> sorry, no progress on 2.4

<aliman> guus how do you think we should approach liason with PFWG? I read their initial message but its not very specific.

3. FTF Preparation and future of WG

(see discussion under Admin above)

MM TF Schedule for f2f meeting in Galway [Giorgos 2005-10-03]

[PORT,OEP] SKOS f2f and end-of-charter goals

4. TF Updates

4.0 MM TF

Giorgos: see mail from Jacco -- first draft of a deliverable has been produced
... would like to schedule 2 telecons; this Wed and 21 Oct
... would like to have 2 reviewers review a document 1 week before the f2f
... Mike Uschold has volunteered to be 1 reviewer

Jeremy: TF participants should read this draft before first telecon, is Wednesday too soon?

Jacco: the idea for the Wednesday telecon is to distribute the work

Ralph: refer to Teleconference How-To for telecon reservation instructions

4.1 PORT

Alistair: Ralph sent his review of SKOS Core proposals and we're following up on his suggestions

<aliman> [PORT] update on 2nd review

Alistair: see my mail for f2f planning

<Zakim> aliman, you wanted to ask ralph about language variants of SKOS Core spec

Alistair: when we publish a revised SKOS WD, should we publish all the variants or can we publish just the English version?
... it would be nice to publish all the translations as a set but I don't speak all the languages

Ralph: publishing a WD is a great way to solicit those comments. The Task Force should advise readers of the spec which words to consider to be normative, however.

Jeremy: the practice in W3C is that the [US] English version is normative

<jjc> On translations - the Ruby recommendation, which is primarily targeted at Japanese, was published on 31st May 2001, and translation came out 3rd August 2001. Conclusion: even when Japanese would have been a well-motivated normative language, the rule of US English first was followed

4.2 OEP

<ChrisW> nothing to report

<ChrisW> all actions continued

<aliman> chrisw is the QCR note ready to review?

4.5 Vocabulary management

-> Tom's report on 27 Sep VMTF telecon

TomB: we reached consensus on a deliverable to help people understand what to serve at a namespace URI
... we expect to be able to document a common solution between Dublin Core, SKOS, and FOAF
... this would create a nice example that others can follow

<Zakim> aliman, you wanted to mention URI dereferencing stuff

<aliman> I sent a proposed URI dereferncing policy for SKOS Core (a 'hash' RDF namespace) ...

Alistair: I've shown how to implement content-dependent redirects in apache

<aliman> and described how to implement this policy using apache directives ... would very much appreciate comments (i.e. do this/don't do this) from WG

DBooth: is this using 303 redirect?

Alistair: yes
... redirect is based on the content-type requested
... would like feedback on whether this is or is not a good idea

TomB: DCMI has a problem with 303 redirects for historical reasons, as we depend on the purl.org service
