update: Agenda for next RDF query meeting, Thursday 13th March, 15:00 GMT

Andy has suggested we reverse agenda items 1 and 2 to give us some
context.
Unfortunately Eric Prud'hommeaux who offered to talk about RDF query and
the Technical Plenary can't make it until 15:00. So we'll start off
with some links (see below) and some impressions from those who are
around at 15:00 and then come back to it when Eric arrives. We might
have to juggle with some other items too, depending on who can make it
when.

Thursday 13th March 2003, 15:00GMT for one hour (several people have to
leave promptly).

2. RDF Query (and Rule) Testcase Repository
Dan Brickley

Dan has made a page on W3C for query links and as a storage space for
testcases:

http://www.w3.org/2003/03/rdfqr-tests/

We need to decide:

2.1  what documents we can put up there (testcases, manifest formats,
results formats?)

2.2  how we deal with controversy, e.g. disagreements about the formats

in http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/ we said

[[
At the Bristol workshop, we agreed, roughly...

    * we announce all changes to the schema www-rdf-calendar
    * if anyone screams, within a week or so, we'll back out the changes
(for further discussion)

]]

could we do something like that in this case?

2.3 licensing of documents on the site

W3C License:
http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2002/copyright-software-20021231
[[
This formulation of W3C's notice and license became active on December
31 2002. This version removes the copyright ownership notice such that
this license can be used with materials other than those owned by the
W3C.

...
[[
Otherwise, this version is the same as the previous version and is
written so as to preserve the Free Software Foundation's assessment of
GPL compatibility and OSI's certification under the Open Source
Definition.

3. Conversion tool in Java for different RDF query languages
Libby Miller

This takes a query defined in N-triples and coonverts to various RDF
query language syntaxes. Hopefully it will be useful for converting
tests between syntaxes.
