** Next Telecon
DECISION: Meet again same time, next week.

** Review of Completed Actions

All actions were considered completed.

** Progress on Primer Subgroup
EricM explained he spent some time putting together an outline, 
pointing to core documents. He hopes to have people to meet 
together on a telecon. DanC thought it'd be fine if it was 
discussed on the normal RDF Core time. The time Eric proposed 
was Wednesday at 10AM, which did not work for at least one of 
the primer subgroup members (Aaron).

ACTION 2001-09-21#1: Eric Miller / Try to publish a TOC of primer stuff
ACTION 2001-09-21#1: Eric Miller / Organize telecon if needed, 
and all interested parties can participate, if not, ask for 
telecon time

** Issue: rdfs-no-cycles-in-subClassOf

Sergey decided that he was OK with dropping this restriction.

DECISION: To resolve issue rdfs-no-cycles-in-subClassOf by 
deleting the restriction prohibiting cycles of subClassOf 
properties.  The meaning of a cycle of subClassOf properties 
being an assertion that the classes involved have the same 
members.  A more formal specification of the meaning will be 
given in the model theory.

Pat agreed to bring this decision back to the DAML Joint 
Committee. We decided to put off approval of the test case until 
next week when we had a better handle on how to structure the 
test case directories. We decided next week we should look at 
removing the restriction on subPropertyOf when Frank puts 
together a similar proposal together.

ACTION 2001-09-21#3: Dan Connolly / Place 
rdfs-no-cycles-in-subClassOf in proper place in directory 
structure once that place is decided.
ACTION 2001-09-21#4: Pat Hayes / Take the subClassOf decision 
back to DAML Joint Committee.
ACTION 2001-09-21#5: Frank Manola / Present similar proposed 
resolution and test case for subPropertyOf cycles

** Model Theory Working Draft

We discussed that this doesn't change the current set of specs 
any more than decisions the WG has already made, but merely 
formalizes the text of the specs. We also agreed that this does 
not mean we've formally agreed on everything in the draft, 
merely that we feel it is ready to stay on the Web forever, and 
that we're obliged to accept comments on that.

DECISION: Publish the Model theory Working Draft (with possible 
minor cosmetic changes)
ACTION 2001-09-21#6: Dan Connolly / Act as staff contact for 
publication of Model Theory Working Draft

** RDF Schema Status

While DanBri was absent, we noted that he reported by email that 
he planned to have the WD next Wednesday for review. It might be 
too late for us to review it by Friday, but it will go on the 
agenda if it arrives.

** Propose test case 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-
wg/2001Sep/0109.html

Jeremy explained that this was an XML error to catch those that 
didn't use established MXL infrastructure. A number of people 
looked at the test case and said it was fine.

ACTION 2001-09-21#7: Jeremy Carroll / Add a comment to explain 
the error in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-
wg/2001Sep/att-0109/01-error001.rdf
DECISION: Approve 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-
wg/2001Sep/att-0109/01-error001.rdf with above caveat
ACTION 2001-09-21#8: Art Barstow / Update 
http://www.w3.org/2000/10/rdf-tests/rdfcore/amp-in-
url/test001.rdf to include an explanation of the test case 
(especially for those whose browsers convert & to & for 
them).
DECISION: Approve http://www.w3.org/2000/10/rdf-
tests/rdfcore/amp-in-url/test001.rdf with above caveat

** Test cases that don't fit the RDF/XML -> N-Triples paradigm

Jos volunteered to write up a proposal of entailment tests, he 
felt that it was a simple problem. Jan Grant suggested we use an 
RDF manifest (manifest.rdf) of the tests to explain things to 
automated tools.

ACTION 2001-09-21#9: Jos de Roo / Write up something to describe 
these entailment tests (with help from Pat)
ACTION 2001-09-21#10: Jan Grant / Write up proposal for an RDF 
test case manifest
ACTION 2001-09-21#11: Art Barstow / Collect the above materials 
for inclusion the RDF Test Cases WD

** parseType QNames

Bill explained he was writing up another version of his 
proposal, which should be on the list Monday. We should have a 
yes/no vote on Friday. He explained the proposal only affected 
future parseType's. There was some discussion about 
incompatibility with some daml:collection parsers, but we seemed 
to agree this was a minor point. (Note to those who have 
daml:collection parsers, please make your parsers understand 
this as a QName, not a fixed literal.)

ACTION 2001-09-21#11: Bill DeHora / Take proposal to the list 
next week on parseType QNames

** Other discussions

ACTION 2001-09-21#12: Bill DeHora / Annoy Pat Hayes until 
there's a Model Theory section in the primer

amount of dialog via email, and drafting text
14:14:52 <scribe-Aaron> ... bit theoretical to divide ahead of time
14:15:07 <scribe-Aaron> ... can have some concrete stuff to go on
14:15:17 <scribe-Aaron> eric: i absolutely agree

14:18:18 <scribe-Aaron> Sergey: at F2F, I argued against 
dropping the restriction... company relied on it
14:18:28 <scribe-Aaron> came to conclusion that having the 
restriction is not essential
14:18:40 <scribe-Aaron> ... the tool can have a policy 
independent of the language
14:18:50 <scribe-Aaron> ... enforced by the specific application
14:18:58 <scribe-Aaron> ... Now, i'd go ahead with removing restriction
14:19:03 <DanC> * DanC cheers
14:19:13 <scribe-Aaron> Proposal: to resolve issue 
rdfs-no-cycles-in-subClassOf by allowing cycles
14:19:13 <scribe-Aaron> of subClassOf properties.  The meaning 
of a cycle of subClassOf
14:19:13 <scribe-Aaron> properties being an assertion that the 
classes involved have the same
14:19:13 <scribe-Aaron> members.  A more formal specification of 
the meaning will be given
14:19:13 <scribe-Aaron> in the model theory.
14:19:48 <scribe-Aaron> +Pat
14:20:08 <DanC> * DanC seconds the proposal
14:20:24 <scribe-Aaron> Frank: slight change to the wording, 
after talking to Pat
14:20:39 <scribe-Aaron> s/allowing cycles/deleting restriction 
prohibiting cycles/
14:21:10 <scribe-Aaron> bwm: test cases decision separate from wording
14:21:13 <scribe-Aaron> Any dissent?
14:21:23 <scribe-Aaron> Any dissent to the no dissent?
14:21:32 <scribe-Aaron> Unanimous decision.
14:21:37 <scribe-Aaron> No abstentions.
14:21:47 <DanC> RESOLVED.
14:21:49 <scribe-Aaron> -decision restriction subclass cycles 
are removed
14:21:59 <OL> * OL congratulates the wg
14:22:05 <em> * em raises hand
14:22:39 <em> * em just wants to make sure Pat will reflect this 
decision back to the JC
14:22:42 <scribe-Aaron> jeremy: syntactic issues should be 
separate from semantic ones
14:22:50 <scribe-Aaron> ... now just looks like a syntactic issue
14:22:53 <scribe-Aaron> * scribe-Aaron agrees
14:23:14 <scribe-Aaron> bwm: let's separate approval of test 
case, from test case directory structure
14:23:22 <scribe-Aaron> danc: except that test case includes its name
14:23:29 <OL> * OL is sure that Pat and Ora both will (reflect 
the decision, that is)
14:23:31 <scribe-Aaron> ... bit weird to approve it and then 
change it's name...
14:23:43 <scribe-Aaron> bwm: editorial change not much of a problem
14:24:10 <scribe-Aaron> DanC: would sure be nice to have.... 
kinda hard to ascertain status from minutes, and links, etc.
14:24:16 <scribe-Aaron> bwm: let's put it off to next week
14:24:41 <scribe-Aaron> daveb, frankm, jos, i agree

14:28:17 <scribe-Aaron> 8: Model Theory WD
14:28:17 <scribe-Aaron> Propose: Authorize publication of the 
Model theory WD at:
14:28:25 <scribe-Aaron> sergey: what does this change?
14:28:32 <scribe-Aaron> danc: we all have different ideas of the 
current situation
14:28:43 <scribe-Aaron> ... is there an explicit enumeration of 
changes to the spec?
14:28:54 <scribe-Aaron> Pat: I don't think it changes the spec 
at all... afaik
14:29:32 <scribe-Aaron> ... it says that treatment of domain and 
range is different than RDFS, but we've agreed that should change
14:29:48 <scribe-Aaron> JanG: the model theory is in agreement 
with the previous point we agreed on
14:30:06 <scribe-Aaron> DanC: we'll have it on the web forever, 
and obliged to accept comments on it
14:30:11 <scribe-Aaron> Pat: perfectly happy with that
14:30:28 <scribe-Aaron> FrankM: One comment people might make is 
inconsistency with MT and specs
14:30:38 <scribe-Aaron> Pat: later versions OK?
14:30:40 <scribe-Aaron> Absolutely.
14:30:46 <scribe-Aaron> BillD: Will this be a REC?
14:31:15 <scribe-Aaron> DanC: you get questions from weirdos in 
perpituity
14:31:19 <scribe-Aaron> Pat: I'm used to that.
14:31:34 <scribe-Aaron> DanC: I hope this eventually replaces 
RDF M&S 1.0...
14:31:42 <scribe-Aaron> Sergey: I think I got it... it's early 
in the morning, tho
14:31:58 <scribe-Aaron> DanC: Purpose of W3C is to get people to 
put there names on documents

tests/rdfcore/amp-in-url/test001.rdf is approved with above

14:40:21 <scribe-Aaron> no dissent
14:40:33 <DanC> RESOLVED unanimously.
14:40:33 <scribe-Aaron> -agenda 12
14:40:42 <scribe-Aaron> 12: Test cases that don't fit the RDF/XML to
14:40:43 <scribe-Aaron> paradigm.
14:40:43 <DanC> does jema note decisions?
14:40:43 <scribe-Aaron> Jos has volunteered to write up a 
proposal for entailment tests.
14:40:57 <scribe-Aaron> yes, apparently ... they get emailed to 
the list after the meeting
14:41:16 <scribe-Aaron> Jos: I think this is a simple problem... 
i guess we need some conventions
14:41:21 <DanC> have you been telling jema about decisions we're making?
14:41:29 <scribe-Aaron> yes.
14:41:33 <scribe-Aaron> ... i'm so glad we have model theory to refer to
14:41:46 <scribe-Aaron> ... we just need some way to combine the 
pieces together... we need a way to describe that
14:42:03 <scribe-Aaron> Pat: when you use the model theory in 
this context, you need to be careful about RDF/RDFS distinciton
14:42:26 <scribe-Aaron> ... just replied to Jeremy Carroll about 
RDFS entailments which are not RDF entailments
14:42:40 <scribe-Aaron> Jos: I understand... added -rdfcore 
switch to do that in our software
14:42:58 <scribe-Aaron> ... the structure we have now has no problem
14:43:11 <scribe-Aaron> ... schema issues require this kind of 
functionality in my opinion
14:43:19 <scribe-Aaron> ... lots of cross combinations
14:43:41 <scribe-Aaron> ... we need to reuse things... just need 
descriptions of entailment
14:43:45 <scribe-Aaron> ... and tools with the same interface
14:44:02 <scribe-Aaron> bwm: my reaction was that meaning is not 
obvious to me, not a logic geek
14:44:08 <scribe-Aaron> ... I was asking "what is this?"
14:44:46 <scribe-Aaron> Jos: the abstraction of the axioms was confusing
14:44:56 <scribe-Aaron> ... we just need 1, 2, 3, 4... with 
different range and domain
14:45:02 <scribe-Aaron> ... and say it's valid... it's possible
14:45:11 <scribe-Aaron> Bwm: I just want you to write up clearly 
how they work
14:45:29 <scribe-Aaron> Jos: two steps... 1-1 mapping
14:45:50 <scribe-Aaron> ... I agree... machine understanable description
14:46:12 <scribe-Aaron> Jeremy: I have a program that goes thru 
the zip and knows what to do
14:46:26 <scribe-Aaron> ... if we have different instructions... 
clear to a program... it's much hard to write regression test 
software
14:46:33 <scribe-Aaron> ... we need this for high quality RDF tools
14:46:37 <scribe-Aaron> ... it's a must
14:46:53 <scribe-Aaron> Jos: description of A, B, C entails D... 
not too difficult
14:46:56 <scribe-Aaron> ... we need that, tho
14:47:06 <scribe-Aaron> JanG: we need machine-readable manifest
14:47:12 <scribe-Aaron> ... to see if it's parser tests, or entailment

14:48:45 <scribe-Aaron> Jeremy: quite happy with Jan's proposal 
to have a manifest
14:49:02 <scribe-Aaron> JanG: just have a machine readable 
manifest with a list of parser tests
14:49:12 <scribe-Aaron> ... could call it manifest.rdf ... it 
could be in RDF!
14:49:21 <scribe-Aaron> bwm: we need someone to work this up

14:51:53 <scribe-Aaron> DanC: Chair is to be congratulated!
14:52:14 <scribe-Aaron> AOB: Bill on parseTypes
14:52:26 <scribe-Aaron> ... sent to the list, had some feedback 
(mainly from GK)
14:52:33 <scribe-Aaron> ... want to write it up now, in a 
less-featured form
14:52:43 <scribe-Aaron> ... it should be on the list Mon, we 
should have a yes/no on Friday
14:53:39 <scribe-Aaron> BillD: What we have in current M&S stands
14:53:46 <scribe-Aaron> ... future implementors namespace-qualify
14:53:51 <scribe-Aaron> DanC: just for new parseTypes?
14:54:02 <scribe-Aaron> BillD: yes... or make it look so
14:54:10 <scribe-Aaron> Jeremy: might influence daml:collection
14:54:18 <scribe-Aaron> BillD: Is that a namespace?
14:54:36 <scribe-Aaron> Jeremy: parsers tend to hard-code the 
prefix 'daml:'
14:54:47 <scribe-Aaron> ... whatever the current state of the 
namespace binding... they tend to do that
14:54:56 <scribe-Aaron> ... the proposal changes the behavior, 
as I understand it
14:55:06 <scribe-Aaron> ... it needs to look at the namespace binding
14:55:12 <scribe-Aaron> ... i'm happy, but it is a significant change
14:55:24 <scribe-Aaron> DanC: You've actually seen code?
14:55:32 <scribe-Aaron> Jeremy: I've written it
14:55:39 <scribe-Aaron> DanC: that's a sin against the world!
14:55:53 <scribe-Aaron> BillD: I haven't find anything that says 
it is namespace-qualified
14:56:08 <scribe-Aaron> Jeremy: it never says anything about namespace
14:56:27 <scribe-Aaron> DanC:.. yuck, it does say that... that's 
a crime!
14:56:44 <scribe-Aaron> Pat: I don't think there's a great deal 
of code that this will destroy
14:56:54 <scribe-Aaron> Pat: I think the JC will say "What?"
14:57:10 <scribe-Aaron> MikeD: there are about 7 parsers... i 
think they hard-code it
14:57:20 <scribe-Aaron> DanC: parser at W3C doesn't hard code it
14:57:48 <scribe-Aaron> DaveB: daml:collection space was donated 
to my parser by a DAML researcher
14:58:27 <scribe-Aaron> Pat: I wanted to as Mike if he thinks 
parsers are in deep dodo
14:58:34 <scribe-Aaron> Mike: probably relatively easy to fix
14:58:55 <scribe-Aaron> DanC: if daml is bound to something 
else, you can't pay attention to it!
