7) rdf:ID / rdf:node proposal

Agenda discussion split this into:

7a) rdf:ID

Dave: the issue is that xml id and rdf id are different.
Propose to make them the same.

On some readings of M&S this makes RDF more restrictive in that
XML IDs cannot begin with numbers.

DECISION: rdf:ID matches the same as XML IDs.

Abstention: Mike Dean.

ACTION jjc Update test case from colon in ID e-mail.
ACTION dave Update syntax document to  bring rdf:ID into line with xmlid
ACTION jjc Create test case with number at start of ID.

7b) rdf:node

Proposal:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Jul/0080.html

Discussion, followed by minor mods to the proposal, and unaminous decision.

The changes to the proposal were that
+ rdf:node is replaced by rdf:nodeID.
+ the value of rdf:nodeID must match the same as rdf:ID
(which is the same as XML IDs).

There was also discussion about whether applications had to store these
IDs; the relationship to NTriple IDs.

A substantive point was whether two new attributes or one should be used.
Eric argued that each new attribute adds a significant pedagogical cost,
and hence that one was better than two.

DECISION The WG agree the modified proposal of msg July 0080

Carried unaminously (vocally).

ACTION daveb to update syntax doc to reflect nodeID
ACTION jjc to produce nodeID test cases
ACTION daveB to update rdfms-names-use to reflect rdf:nodeID

8) New Document


http://www.ninebynine.org/wip/RDF-basics/2002-07-25/Overview.html

Graham talks through new document.
see also
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Jul/0159.html

Eric: the section 2.3 needs active review.

Eric asked if this is ready to go out as a WD, and pointed out
that the schedule is tight. Graham said yes, Jeremy nearly.

ACTION gk Release new draft of doc for Tuesday.

The plan is to try and OK its release as a WD next Friday.

Reviewers. DaveB has already reviewed the document.
ACTION ericm Review new document.
ACTION danbri Review new document, particularly section 2.3.
ACTION jos Review new document, particularly section 2.3.
ACTION frank Review section 2.3 of new document .
ACTION ericm Solicit more reviewers for new document on WG e-mail.

9) rdfns-assertion

Not discussed, except for emphasis on reviewing section 2.3

10) Procedure for determining reserved vocabulary

Skipped

11) Schedule and Process to Last Call

Eric: dependency on datatypes is a problem.

12) Datatypes

Proposed as main theme for next week.

14:16:17 <jang> my take is that xml NS production is the correct one

14:17:30 <jang> daveb: the issue is that xml id and rdf id take 
different sets of characters
14:17:33 <jang> they shold be the same
14:17:39 <jang> then xml schema can validate it
14:17:44 <jang> em: objections?

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2002JulSep/0040.html (need 
W3C Member passwd)
14:18:07 <jang> decision: this is obvious, we should do this?
14:18:32 <jang> jjc points to message 0148 from this month
14:19:24 <DaveB> xml id and rdf id in the syntax take differetn set of 
charcater
14:19:30 <DaveB> I propose that we make them the same
14:19:39 <DaveB> and then we can use w3x xsl to validate it.
14:20:00 <jang> mike: issues with some tools: ids can't begin with numbers?
14:20:06 <jang> currently allowed by rdf, not xml
14:20:11 <jang> daveb: that's the change

14:20:32 <jjcscribe> mike: rdf is becoming more restrictive

IDs, I think
14:24:54 <jang> item 7b
14:25:03 <jang> jjc has simple proposal for rdf:node
14:25:09 <jang> doesn't address all aspect sof the syntax
14:25:18 <connolly> * connolly is happy to see the coin officially 
flipped, for IDs
14:25:21 <jang> but it solves the bulk of the roundtripping problem
14:25:28 <jang> a number of choicepoints highlighted in the email...
14:25:35 <jang> ..we could discuss those here... chair?
14:25:46 <jang> em: want to get this finished.
14:25:56 <jang> that being said, don't know if people consider this a 
no-brainer
14:26:08 <jang> one choice-point seems obvious, the rest less so
14:26:28 <jang> chair's position was not to reopen at this time, but if 
a slam-0dunk then reopen and finish it
14:26:31 <danbri> this= rdf:node idea?
14:26:33 <jang> is this a slam dunk?
14:26:37 <DaveB> yes
14:26:38 <jang> yes
14:26:45 <jang> (yes to danbri)
14:26:48 <DaveB> (not agreeing, replying to danbri)
14:26:57 <danbri> * danbri nods, just checking
14:27:02 <jang> jjc: there is a proposal
14:27:06 <danbri> * danbri tring to fix www-rdf-comments mail thing for jang
14:27:09 <jang> which is moderately long but is complete, I think
14:27:23 <jang> that we add the file-scope identifier for a blank node 
as an attribute
14:27:33 <jang> we can label subject or object with such an attribute.
14:27:39 <jang> that's about it
14:27:44 <em> danbri, please do not deal with the comments thing - 
please focus on the meeting at hand
14:27:44 <danbri> (rdf:node is what rdf:ID should've been)
14:27:49 <jang> em: comments?
14:27:53 <danbri> * danbri done
14:28:02 <jang> frank: question: concerning the use of xml strings as 
blank-node identifiers?
14:28:16 <jang> jjc: i could have been more restrictive tthan just @xml 
strings@
14:28:32 <jang> daveb; coincidentally, the ntriples IDs are also xml ids
14:28:46 <jang> frank: how do you distinguish it as a blank node id?
14:28:53 <jang> danbri: a new attribute for it
14:29:15 <jang> daveb: shouldn't look like a uri
14:29:25 <jang> should look like rdf:id
14:29:33 <jang> jjc: ntriples is us-ascii,
14:29:42 <jang> we should allow id's as e-acute, etc.
14:29:55 <jang> danbri: ntriples is just a test format
14:30:10 <jang> jjc: there's no reason why these have _anything_ to do 
with ntriples identifiers
14:30:18 <jang> it's just another syntax
14:30:30 <jang> if the id's don't survive roundtripping because they 
just label a blank node...
14:30:36 <jang> not a problem
14:30:44 <jang> em: what's the risk if we don't have this?
14:30:57 <jang> jjc: there are real users who really want to write 
rdf/xml that they've read in
14:31:03 <jang> in a programmatic sense
14:31:16 <jang> and at some point they need blank node ids to do that in 
certain circumstances
14:31:24 <jang> if they assign a uri then the meaning has changed
14:31:31 <jang> they might do something nonstandard
14:31:44 <jang> in jena, we're feeling increasing pressure to do 
something nonstandard
14:31:50 <jang> which we'd rather not do
14:32:09 <jang> danbri: ntriples are increasingly attractive because 
they're the only roundtrippable format
14:32:23 <jang> jjc: if we don't do this then the user community is 
being effectively forced to use ntriples
14:32:29 <jang> even though we don't endorse it

14:32:50 <Zakim> I see Danbri on the speaker queue
14:33:05 <jang> I want to read rdfxml, store it, generate it
14:33:13 <jang> if blank node ids are allowed to look like uris?
14:33:29 <jang> what i have to do (i think) is adopt some nonstandard 
approach to store these?
14:33:38 <jang> danbri: it's inside your db implementation
14:33:42 <gk> If we adopt them, I think graph-scope IDs should be 
limited to N-triple allowed form, I18N not needed because its a machine 
notion, not human-readable.  This seems simplest effective approach.
14:33:50 <jang> jjc: jena has effectively a bit on every resource 
indicating the label type
14:34:40 <jang> danbri: have same syntactic constraints as we do on rdf:id
14:34:50 <jang> there are few things I've really cared about as an 
implementor
14:34:54 <jang> this is one of those
14:34:57 <gk> I think the compelling case for this feature is to provide 
applications a standard way to communicate arbitrary graphs.
14:34:59 <jang> I can load, query, merge, etc. rdf
14:35:03 <jang> but I can't dump it back as a file
14:35:09 <jang> it's honestly embarrassing
14:35:35 <jang> em: unless we standardise ntriples, with i18n etc. this 
kind of mechanism is necessary
14:35:38 <DaveB> maybe rdf:nodeID ?
14:35:42 <jang> (yesses )
14:35:45 <danbri> yes, I like rdf:nodeID
14:35:56 <jang> em: I like danbri's suggestion of synchronising with rdf:id
14:36:01 <danbri> This is really the continuation of our cleanup re 
anonymous/blank resources.
14:36:07 <jang> jjc: I'm happy with node id
14:36:17 <gk> q+
14:36:19 <Zakim> * Zakim sees Danbri, Gk on the speaker queue
14:36:27 <jang> then we restrict to string syntax of rdf:id (= xml:id)
14:36:28 <jjcscribe> rdf:nodeID
14:36:39 <jang> daveb: frank - much rewriting on the primer?
14:36:45 <jang> frank: er, there will be some...
14:36:57 <jang> I'd like a clear explanation of what the change is...
14:37:05 <jang> in particular, what these node ids are going to look like
14:37:15 <jang> em: premature, i think ,without that being written up
14:37:24 <connolly> er... nodeID and nodeRef? or do you use nodeID in 
both places? note you can't use rdf:resource to refer to these things.
14:37:28 <jang> davbe: isn't that's jjc's proposal plus the amendments 
we're discussing?
14:37:33 <DaveB> connolly: rdf:nodeID in both
14:37:36 <connolly> ew
14:37:48 <em> -> 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Jul/0080.html
14:37:49 <connolly> oh well
14:37:51 <gk> * gk DanC, I think that's a remaining choice point that I 
am queued to raise
14:37:56 <DaveB> haven't decided yet DanC
14:38:07 <connolly> connolly is now known as DanC
14:38:25 <jang> (quick rummage through mailing lists...)
14:38:39 <jang> frankm: this doesn't mention what's in the primer about 
blank nodes
14:38:56 <jang> because we're talking about generating those ids, not 
explicitly identifying them
14:39:01 <em> * em wonders who is taking the call in the playground?
14:39:11 <jang> jjc: the proposal is that the blank nodes remain blank
14:39:24 <jang> we just want to allow a file to refer to the same blank 
node in two places\
14:39:40 <jang> there's some push to allow blank nodes with a @global@ 
scope identifier. that's _not_ the proposal
14:39:55 <jjcscribe> the playground is me ...
14:40:00 <jang> frankm: you're being allowed to explicitly specify an id 
for a blank node
14:40:02 <jang> right?
14:40:13 <jang> secondly: are you always required to specify an id for a 
blank node?
14:40:24 <jang> or are the current syntactic abbrevs still allowed?
14:40:35 <danbri> hmm, rdf:nodeID seems ok for having something to point 
to. But how (re dan's questoin) do we point to it?
14:40:52 <em> q?
14:40:53 <Zakim> * Zakim sees Danbri, Gk on the speaker queue
14:40:58 <danbri> q-
14:40:59 <DaveB> I don't mind, rdf:resourceID/resourceRef - hmm
14:40:59 <Zakim> * Zakim sees Gk on the speaker queue
14:41:15 <em> ack gk
14:41:16 <Zakim> * Zakim sees no one on the speaker queue
14:41:18 <jang> jjc: second question: the answer is not required
14:41:31 <jang> jang: first question: no suggestion that blank node id 
-strings_ survive a roundtripping
14:41:43 <danbri> The proposal doesn't mention resourceID or similar; is 
the proposal incomplete?
14:41:56 <jang> gk: jjc's said it's not necessary to have different 
names for rdf:nodeid and rdf:nodeidref
14:42:06 <jang> but is it worth having two attributes for subject and 
object?
14:42:21 <jang> jjc: the proposal is to use the same attribute twice
14:42:49 <jang> danbri; I've often wished rdf:about and rdf:resouce were 
just rdf:webid
14:42:57 <jang> jjc: it makes the striping easier to see
14:43:08 <jang> taking the opposite viewpoint is maybe perverse...?
14:43:12 <danbri> I like it.
14:43:19 <jang> gk; both work technically, just from a pedagogical pov, 
which is better?
14:43:28 <jang> nodeid and nodeidref work for me (gk)
14:43:31 <DaveB> gk mentions rdf:nodeIDref
14:43:32 <DaveB> oh
14:43:43 <jang> jjc: my muse deserted me, i only came up with one name
14:44:35 <jang> (the "bnode" terminology is almost resurrected... but not)
14:44:52 <jang> em: is the view of the group this is (a) important, and 
(b) this is the way to do it?
14:45:01 <jang> decisions in then to get this into the spec, right?
14:45:16 <jang> em: this puts timescales at risk, so if we can agree...
14:45:20 <jang> and I think we have...
14:45:25 <jang> let's make the decision now, ok?
14:45:35 <jang> otherwise, this is no longer a slam-dunk
14:45:41 <jang> (frank: it's a three-point-shot)
14:45:55 <jang> jjc: my full resolution of msg 0080
14:45:59 <jang> with node replaced by nodeid
14:46:10 <jang> and nodeid attr value the same restrictions as rdf:id 
attr value?
14:46:37 <jang> that should be rdf:nodeID
14:46:40 <gk> Do we have separate attribute for subj/obj?
14:46:43 <DaveB> no
14:47:00 <jang> jjc: personally, I prefer not
14:47:04 <jang> danbri: not
14:47:37 <jang> mike: symmetry argument?
14:47:42 <jang> with resource, about?
14:48:20 <jang> jjc asks for suggestions.. nodeabout, noderef, bid, 
babout, etc.
14:48:28 <jang> none meet with much agreement
14:48:39 <jang> s/much/any
14:49:08 <jang> em: stick with one. it'll hurt, but big payoff
14:49:14 <jang> with two, hurts much more for the same benefit
