[#issue-output-formats] whether GRDDL transformations may produce RDF in a format other than RDF/XML

[#issue-mt-ns]

<hhalpin> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jan/0085.html

<hhalpin> Murray's closure

<chimezie> I think it is a reasonable silent statement

jc: will xslt drive an xinclude process
...: discusion of pipeline documents

hh: it would be good to get a review
... does anyone have any concerns, can we get consensus on it?

bwm: does the spec talk about "faithful rendition"?

hh: yes
...: does faithful rendition entail "complete rendition"

<hhalpin> From GRDDL Spec "By specifying a GRDDL transformation, the author of a document states that the transformation will provide a faithful rendition of the source document, or some portion of the source document, that preserves its meaning in RDF."
...: so it long as it doesn't I needn't worry

<chimezie> I don't think it implies a 'complete' rendition

<rreck> why not explicitly state "that its not implied"

hh: quotes from the spec "some portion of the document"

bwm: that covers it

<hhalpin> maybe this "or some portion of the source document,"

xx: should we add words to say that it needn't be complete?

bwm: I think its covered in the para on faithful rendition

hh: Do we need test-suite finished?

hh:Seems implied by approving text

<hhalpin> PROPOSAL: To close #faithful-infoset issue by adding Murray's paragraph as given by http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jan/0085.html to the GRDDL Specification.

<briansuda> fine with me

<rreck> im good

hh: holds vote

<hhalpin> RESOLUTION: To close #faithful-infoset issue by adding Murray's paragraph as given by http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jan/0085.html to the GRDDL Specification.

[#issue-base-param]

<DanC_lap> please don't close faithful-infoset until chime's test work is done

<DanC_lap> oops; too late

bwm: sorry no progress been too busy

hh: progress by next week?

bwm: I'll do my best

<DanC_lap> who's got the action re faithful-infoset? the 0085 msg has language like "conformant processor" that can't be just pasted in

<DanC_lap> but otherwise, I guess it's close enough

<hhalpin> DanC, you have word-smithing discretion.

<hhalpin> DanC, do you wish to take an action to wordsmith and add that paragraph to the spec?

danc: will you take the action to add murray's text with appropriate word smithing?
... the WG agreed that you should have freedom to wordsmith

<hhalpin> ACTION: Harry to send DanC a message asking for DanC to add in Murray's paragraph with appropriate wordsmithing [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/31-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action01]

<scribe> ACTION: hh Ask DanC to add Murray's text with appropriate wordsmithing [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/31-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action02]

Primer Document

hh: how is the healthcare test example

chime: I sent a message but not much progress
... Ian is planning to get to it this Friday
... I believe

[#issue-html-nsdoc]

hh: Ian has sent a message about http headers

[#issue-http-header-links]

<hhalpin> Let's look at Ian's latest message:

<hhalpin> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2007Jan/0087.html

<chimezie> Isn't the notion of interpeting HTTP headaer content out of scope of GRDDL?

<chimezie> even if the starting point is just bytes?

hh: DanC thought it might be

<rreck> if its in scope, i prefer option #2

Unknown: a client could just decide to do it
... a best practice
... general support for option 2
... would integrate better with software

hh: do we want to put an action on him to write text for the spec or the primer

chime: I think its very close to out of scope

<scribe> ACTION: hh find out if its in scope [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/31-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action03]

<briansuda> brian agrees with chime, this only works via HTTP. When using over file:// then GRDDL is lost

bwm: does option 2 create a dependency

chime: given the fact we to go for last call in two weeks, that strengthens my feeling its out fo scope.

hh: Dan and Ian were pro this
... lets postpone this for next meeting

<hhalpin> ACTION: HarryH to see if this is out-of-scope [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/31-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action04]

hh: process question - should we name a particular version

bwm: we postponed issues on RDFCore

hh: I'd rather not have postponed issues

chime: the WG can't do everything

hh: maybe the ietf involvement requires us to rule it out of scope
... can we get two people to review all three specs
... rreck you were going to read them

rr: yes I have been
... I've read two

hh: the primer and spec have had some pretty large changes

<hhalpin> ACTION: Rreck to send his comments on the primer and spec to the public-grddl-wg. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/31-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action05]

bwm: what documents are going rec track

hh: all three
... we might want a co-editor to help DanC
... we asked before, but got no response
... if anyone is interested please raise your hand

chime: there is a big change with the introduction of rules

hh: did you find the rules helpful

chime: yes
... I just wondered if there was discussion of their introduction

hh: n3 rules don't have a formal semantic
... which makes it a bit dodgy to make them normative
... I don't ahve a personal objection to them
... but others might object

chime: I didn't say they were useful, I found them interesting
... I am not clear if they are informative or normative

hh: please bring this up on the list
... we asked Dan to state things as clearly and formally as possible and this is what he did

<hhalpin> ACTION:Chime to ask question about rules [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/31-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action06]

hh: I'm ready to close the meeting
... anything else

adjourned

<hhalpin> meeting adjourned
