<ChrisW> ACTION: apaschke to provide an ssh key to sandro for cvs access [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/11/04-rif-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - apaschke

csma: all other actions continued, let's move to the pending review actions.

adrian: currently not a member, but maybe I could participate via OMG.

sandro: if not possible we will discuss invited expert.

jos: action 616 is waiting for reply by OWL.

chrisw: talked to ian on that, datatype issue in OWL is difficult, they don't want to reopen it. would we have specific requests or would we go with theirs?

josb: i inquired about some datatypes which only make sense in a specific XML document, which don't make sense for us.

csma: they did not take it into account?

sandro: shall we signela them that we object last call?

josb: I only said we shouldn't adopt them in RIF, and I don't see reasons for them in OWL

<sandro> id, idref, and entity.

josb: it was ID and IDREF and ENTITY

chrisw: you sent it as a public comment.

<josb> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-owl-comments/2008Oct/0000.html

discussion on whether we should object or not...

csma: we can expect reply on jkos' public comment.

sandro: I will try to push them a bit to respond quickly.

chrisw: was it the case that except the ID, IDREF and ENTITY data types we would be ok to adopt the others?

axel: that would have impliucations on built-ins?

josb: many are subtypes of types we have already.

csma: wouldn't we need them for interoperatbility with OWL?

josb: well, that depends on what conformance we want. strict vs. non-strict conformance clause. for SWC we don't have a conformance claus there, basically it is defined for any datatype.

csma: anything else on this question?

<csma> next item

csma: anything else regarding actions? no.

Task Forces (TF) update: Core, PRD,PS

<Harold> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wiki/index.php?title=Core&diff=6168&oldid=6018

harold: we have a lot of progress, everyone should have a look at it, we didn't have a telecon after it yet.
... we are close.
... to have a first WD.

csma: my naive question to Core TF: Does core support unification?

harold: that would mean core would not be a subset of PRD.
... if you only give it facts a la PRD though, nothing bad can happen.

csma: if core is more general than PRD we must decide what to do.

gary: no function symbols solves the problem probably, but we still need to do something on equalities.

<ChrisW> ACTION: christian to open issue about unification in CORE and PRD being limited to pattern matching [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/11/04-rif-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-636 - Open issue about unification in CORE and PRD being limited to pattern matching [on Christian de Sainte Marie - due 2008-11-11].

csma: PRD TF will have concluding teleconf next week.
... next WD will be significantly improved. we still have to finalize gary's work on binding variables in the action part.

gary: things are coming together nicely, we can talk about it after next week.

chris: TF on PS is stalled, I got a flu.

<csma> next item

<csma> PROPOSED: Parameterize the conformance clauses of Core with safeness requirements "strict" and "none" (default: "none"). Closing ISSUE-70.

<csma> RESOLVED: Parameterize the conformance clauses of Core with safeness requirements "strict" and "none" (default: "none"). Closing ISSUE-70.

Core

harold: dave found a terminology conflict with the word "strict"

csma: i guess this is editorial.

<csma> next item

Publication plan

csma: let's start with SWC... everything seems ready, we just wait for the reviews.
... chris, stuart, yuting, until when can you review?

sutart: mo or tue

chris: by end of next week.

<yuting> for me, by this Saturday to review the swc

csma: BLD? do we want to give out a new version?

sandro: I think we should call it WD, it is still LC.

chrisw: will the comment period reopened then?

sandro: I guess yes.
... we do have some editorial changes.

csma: question is, is it freezable? harold?

michael: I need to change the last section and adapt the changelog.

chris: I added the 2 new paragraphs in overview and put the references, references still need to be added to references section.

michael: what's the point in publishing now another draft?

harold: that people don't read the old version.

chris: new people might come along and find it and give more comments, but I don't feel strongly.
... I think we should publish after all issues are resolved.

csma: shall we resolve that?

sandro: latest version on the wiki is linked from the WD.

chrisw: i would be confused to re-publish LC before CR

csma: I buy this argument.

chrisw: another thing we should have resolved is the result of the PS TF.
... before republishing BLD.

csma: let's move to FLD.

<sandro> sandro: with the new open issues in BLD, yeah, I'm okay with no publishing it right now. Focus on DTB.

michael: I hope to finish FLD by end of nov. gave a talk at RR on it, lot of interest, some people expressed interest to join the group.
... mid dec is realistic for next WD (if we freeze by end nov)

csma: what about SWC, given the decision on BLD?
... shall we also postpone?

<ChrisW> schedule: new FLD WD probably by EOY

csma: nobody insists on publishing now.
... we can still freeze it.
... we have three actions to review it.
... we don't need the reviews now... actions 626,627,628,629 cancelled.
... but the reviews are still welcome.
... DTB?

axel: freezable version by two weeks frm now.
... moves publication to rather end of november.

csma: core?

harold: the unresolved issues could just become editor's notes.

csma: when can we freeze as early as possible?

harold: second half of november.

chris: let's try to freeze in two weeks.

csma: both core and dtb due nov 18th for freeze.
... prd?

gary: we can work two more weeks on that.

csma: also due to nov 18 for freezing prd.
... test cases?

chrisw: actions?
