List of resolutions from the Face-to-Face meeting

Hi Ralph and Sean,

I think Sean proposed to have the list of all resolutions at the end of the
minutes of the meeting. As I had to read all in order to see if I have
comments, I volunteer on doing this.

Here below the list of resolutions I could find. Please check if everything
is ok.

RESOLUTIONS from  Face-to-Face meeting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---

DAY 1: 06 May 2008

- RESOLVED: to accept minutes of 29 April teleconference
(http://www.w3.org/2008/04/29-swd-minutes.html)
- RESOLVED: SKOS Imports low priority
- RESOLVED: Publish RDF schema as is (OWL Full)
- RESOLVED: to have a new namespace
- RESOLUTION: http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos# is the namespace URI
- RESOLUTION: to resolve skos:related, skos:broader and
skos:broaderTransitive are not normatively irreflexive
- RESOLUTION: to accept sections 3 (xl:Label), 4 (Preferred, Alternate, and
Hidden xl:Labels), 6 (Binary Relations Between Instances of xl:Label) of the
14 April -XL proposal and the vocabulary defined there.
- RESOLUTION: Include XL sections 3, 4, 6 in SKOS Reference as OPTIONAL and
NORMATIVE
- RESOLUTION: Use http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos-xl# as XL namespace URI
- RESOLUTION: 
	1. keep the mapping vocabulary broadMatch, narrowMatch, 
	2. broadMatch, narrowMatch, etc. are rdfs:subPropertyOf broader,
narrower, 
	3. there are no semantic conditions on broadMatch, narrowMatch; i.e.
graphs 1-6 are all consistent, 
	4. there is some text about cultural conventions explaining where we
expect broadMatch to be used, 
	5. by convention, mapping properties are only used to link concepts
in different schemes, 
	6. in the Last Call WD we'll note that the mapping vocabulary may be
dropped

MY COMMENTS:

Ok for all except:
- >>>> Publish RDF schema as is (OWL Full) <<< --> I would have like to have
owl-DL because I think one advantage may be computability if we do reasoning
- point 6. >>>> in the Last Call WD we'll note that the mapping vocabulary
may be dropped <<<<  I think is better to keep and I do not understand this
point 6. as in my opinion may be conflicting with 1.

DAY 2: 07 May 2008

- RESOLUTION: to introduce skos:notation a rdf:Property whose value is a
typed literal. The datatype of the literal specifies a syntax encoding scheme
and the value of the literal is the classification code from that encoding
scheme. As prefLabel is optional, SKOS tools may want to display notations as
labels.
- RESOLUTION: To postpone Reference Semantic Relation Specialisations
(ISSUE-56) becuase we do not yet have sufficient information on how to embed
these specializations in the current SKOS model.
- RESOLUTION: That SKOS does not have its own specific import mechanism and
that documents will have appropriate text on how to use existing owl:import
mechanisms (ISSUE-119)
- RESOLUTION: to postpone issue 40, due to lack of time, lack of
implementation experience with tentative solutions, and unclear interaction
between SKOS and OWL.
- RESOLUTION: to not include the SKOS indexing properties (== to drop
skos:subject, skos:isSubjectOf, skos:primarySubject and
skos:isPrimarySubjectOf)
- RESOLUTION: the use of concept scheme URI in DC metadata as a vocabulary
scheme URI does not raise compatibility issues
- RESOLUTION: to close ISSUE-52 by adding a table to the Primer with
correspondences between ISO-2788 and SKOS constructs
- RESOLUTION: to close ISSUE-51 by saying that we see no incompatibility
between SKOS and ISO11179
- RESOLUTION: to close ISSUE-82 by adding editorial changes to the documents
highlighting the intended interpretation of broader and narrower
- RESOLUTION: ISSUE-81 is resolved because the property in question
"labelRelated", has been dropped.
- RESOLUTION: Section 4.8 of the SKOS Primer resolves ISSUE-37
- RESOLUTION: to postpone issue 45, due to lack of time, lack of
implementation experience with tentative solutions, and unclear interaction
between SKOS and OWL.
- RESOLUTION: Close issue 46 as we have decided that the indexing vocabulary
is not part of SKOS
- RESOLUTION: Provenance of mappings is not handled by the introduction of
specific SKOS vocabulary. In the SKOS reference documents (Reference and
maybe Primer), SKOS users are instead pointed at other RDF containment
mechanisms (E.g. the URI of a mapping information source can be used in a
SPARQL query).
- RESOLUTION: the XL appendix provides a framework for asserting lexical
mapping links
- RESOLUTION: SKOS will explicitly allow all 3 patterns for documentation
properties

MY COMMENTS:

I agree on these and:
- if we have skos:notation then I have an idea that this may also be used for
the symbols, in this case you may drop the symbols as skos:notation is more
generic and can also be used for symbols. We have to check however if we can
specify source and/or language for this skos:notation.

Hope this helps
