   <dbooth> jar: wanted to make a decision on the draft today, but
   can't with only two people on the call

   <jar> let's look at this diagram:
   [7]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-awwsw/2011Apr/0045.htm
   l

      [7] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-awwsw/2011Apr/0045.html

   <jar> the rhetorical question is: Can awww:representations have
   metadata such as DC, CC REL, FOAF, RDFS?

   <jar> i.e. are we willing to use reprs. with those relations? TimBL
   & TAG would say no - I think - but not sure

   <jar> the diagram reflects the way the report is currently written

   <dbooth> dbooth: Diagram looks reasonable, but not needed for this
   document.

   <dbooth> jar: The diagram explains the problem with the Ian Davis's
   proposal.

   <dbooth> dbooth: I see nothing fundamentally wrong with Ian's
   proposal. It will cause problems for some apps and not others.

   <dbooth> dbooth: so you feel that there has already been an
   expectation set in this community that there would not be ambiguity
   along this access (i.e., IR vs non-IR axis)?

   <dbooth> jar: yes

   <dbooth> dbooth: i think that's a legitimate complaint.

   <jar> has nothing to do with IR vs. non-IR. it's whether the URI
   refers to the IR at that URI, or to something else

   <dbooth> I think there would be debate about how firmly that
   expectation was established in the community. Some (I think) may
   claim that it has not been well established.

   <dbooth> jar: it has succeeded so well that it is hard to find
   people against it -- see Cool URIs for SW, etc.

   <jar> pedantic-web

   <dbooth> dbooth: agreed.

   <jar> 1. Reps are not IRs (TimBL)

   <jar> 2. Metadata subjects ~ IRs

   <jar> 3. Metadata can be true of reps (JAR)

   Reading it - the nice picture :)

   that diagram looks about right.

   <jar> two problems with the diagram: what boxes are needed, and what
   they're called.

   except for maybe that the metadata itself will likely have a URI
   with versions, representations, etc :)

   the TAG will understand it, programmers won't.

   but the programmers should be the *goal*.

   <dbooth> jar: This document is to get the discussion goign w
   Giovanni, Ian, kingsley, etc.

   <dbooth> harry: When they publish metadata, they need a clear, easy
   recipe.

   Fielding way with resources being functions over representations in
   time...

   type-token relationship

   type-realization

   share some abstract amount of information

   "about" the same thing.

   <dbooth> harry: Re "representation", there are different ways of
   thinking about it. Can also think of it as a type-token realization.
   Theyre' not manufactured randomly, but they're about the same thing.

   <dbooth> jar: Like i say about metadata.

   wonderful theoretical theory of semantic information

   <dbooth> harry: I think that's timbl's intuition also.

   <jar> [8]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/awwsw/ir-axioms/

      [8] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/awwsw/ir-axioms/

   ah I hvaen't seen that.

   +1 as a separate document

   <dbooth> dbooth: I think the CC license use case is the best one for
   motivating that discussion w Giovanni, Ian, Kingsley, etc.

   Appendix 7

   [9]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/awwsw/issue57/latest/#ir

      [9] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/awwsw/issue57/latest/#ir

   <jar> move appendix 7 out to a separate document ?

   1) Maybe merge that appendix

   2) Move the glossary to back

   1) Maybe merge into appendix another doc about IRs.

   <dbooth> harry: I would want the following changes to make me happy:
   1. merge appendix into another doc about IRs. 2. move glossary to
   the back.

   <jar> if you didn't care about IRs, you'd just use 200, and skip 303

   1) applicaton/rdf+xml (plus future RDF types that do not mix in with
   human-readable documents like HTML)

   should just be assumed that the URI they are referring to in that
   document

   is not the document itself.

   That's the RDFa case.

   <dbooth> harry: One option i'd like listed: doc of
   application/rdf+xml and future types that do not mix human-readable
   documents, should be taken as the the URI def

   <jar> RDFa is different from rdf/xml

   RDFa it makes perfect sense for that refer to the document.

   <dbooth> harry: RDFa is different from rdf/xml because it mixes RDF
   and human doc.

   <dbooth> jar: That's still a problem for CC license. I first have to
   GET the doc, and make sure that it is one of the RDF-only doc types.

   So if the URI returns rdfa+html then you would assume that takes
   priority.

   Can you make a normative algorithm for sorting this out

   <dbooth> dbooth: if you get a mixed RDF+human doc type then it is
   potentially ambiguous.

   <jar> algorithm: Do a GET , conneg for rdf/xml turtle manchester
   preferred

   <jar> if you get rdf, then URI i sdefined by doc only

   <jar> otherwise, URI refers to IR

   but even if you got rdf/xml

   via a conneg preference

   then if those rdf/xml statements things like "dc:creator BenAdida"

   then the interpretation of that staments, one thing would match
   would be the document

   yes it could.

   that's the risk of using model-theoretic interpretation in risk.

   "dc:creator BenAdida"

   so many documents that Ben Adida actually created.

   accessibeVia

   "accessibleVia"

   retract 303

   there should be more options

   do not requrire .htaccess

   1) add a vocabulary make it clear

   2) make the MIME-types clearer

   <dbooth> jar: Harry's proposal is covered in 5.6

   <dbooth> jar: I'd like to see the proposal drafted as an actual
   algorithm.

   My point is that 303 is only one way to make the distinguishment.

   <jar> if you allow a definition AND a 200, you get wrong answers...
   so not just a question of providing "more ways"

   For one instance, IR ->303-> IR

   well if you got [10]http://www.example.org ->
   www.example.org/document/index.html

     [10] http://www.example.org/

   "[11]http://www.example.org" doesn't also just refer to a document
   or does it refer to Paris?

     [11] http://www.example.org/

   <dbooth> harry: Two more points about 303: 1. With 303 you could
   connect an IR to another IR, and there's no way of knowing whether
   that also doesn't just refer to a document.

   [12]http://www.example.org/document/index.html

     [12] http://www.example.org/document/index.html

   [13]http://www.example.org

     [13] http://www.example.org/

   inherently ambiguous

   by nature of how 303 can be used

   [14]http://www.example.org/resource/Paris

     [14] http://www.example.org/resource/Paris

   <jar> i don't get it

   is inherently ambiguous

   [15]http://www.example.org/document/Paris.html isn't.

     [15] http://www.example.org/document/Paris.html

   so what does 303 gives you really

   its also hard to index things like have status codes

   <dbooth> [16]http://www.example.org/resource/Paris --303-->
   [17]http://www.example.org/document/Paris.html

     [16] http://www.example.org/resource/Paris
     [17] http://www.example.org/document/Paris.html

   <jar> the assumption for 303 is that if you get a 303 then it has no
   versions (not dereferenceable)

   nothing says that "[18]http://www.example.org/resource/Paris" is not
   an information resource

     [18] http://www.example.org/resource/Paris

   <jar> at that URI at least

   <dbooth> dbooth: The 303 rule could be that the URI refers to the
   primarySubjectOf the document at the redirect URI

   <jar> 200 enables metadata. if you don't enable particular metadata,
   you can't do 200. so, 404, 303, 100, etc instead

   <dbooth> jar: 200 enables metadata, so if you want to prevent the
   metadata from being written, then you return 404 or 303.

   www.example.org/resource/Paris and just rdf/xml documents.

   thats that document somehow overrides to publish data

   that could be solved by a normative argument.

   <dbooth> harry: we might promote more RDF published by making it
   easier than requiring 303

   <dbooth> jar: but there is a cost if we make an incompatible change
   -- existing metadata will be called into question.

   <dbooth> ... Yes there's a benefit, but also a cost.

   DC.terms

   <dbooth> harry: I think the cost is not huge.

   that you could make a normative algorithm

   that says "given the space that can returned" figure out if it's an
   IR or not.

   <dbooth> jar: It's not IR vs NIR, but *which* IR it is.

   1) we need normative algorithm something like Web Linking

   <dbooth> jar: we have the 303 guideline in place, but people like
   you and Ian are taking pot shots at it. how do we get process around
   this?

   2) as regards 303, we need 2 or 3 more options

   <dbooth> harry: 303 is a creative hack that is hurting deployment.
   my interest is in increasing deployment.

   3) I would punt this at the RDF WG

   it's already been chartered

   <dbooth> jar: I'm concerned about the process. I want to dialog
   about this.

   <dbooth> jar: TAG is willing to take issue-57 to rec track.

   "s p o"

   that means we're talking LISP don't interepret

   "s p o" p2 o2

   well, one way is to say

   <dbooth> harry: Re quoting thing: tim says let's put an RDF graph in
   quotes.

   if you want to talk about a document

   and you want to be very clear

   variant on notational scheme

   "[19]http://www.example.org/Paris"

     [19] http://www.example.org/Paris

   talking about JUST the rdf statements themselves, and not their
   interpretation

   <dbooth> ... Then if you want to talk about a doc, then we can quote
   the RDF graph to say that we're talking about that graph and not
   their interpretation.

   <jar> [:accessibleVia "..."]

   "[20]http://www.example.org/Paris/document"

     [20] http://www.example.org/Paris/document

   <dbooth> dbooth: Not always talking about RDF graph -- sometimes
   it's an HTML page you want to distinguish.

   5.1 -> use quotes around URIs

   [21]http://www.example.org/Paris

     [21] http://www.example.org/Paris

   will be used as a name URI of named graph

   where the graph derferenced in a statement of RDF statements

   currently the way you [22]http://www.example.org/Paris
   ->[23]http://www.example.org/Paris/document

     [22] http://www.example.org/Paris
     [23] http://www.example.org/Paris/document

   currently the way you [24]http://www.example.org/Paris
   ->[25]http://www.example.org/Paris/data

     [24] http://www.example.org/Paris
     [25] http://www.example.org/Paris/data

   [26]http://www.example.org/Paris/data is the RDF name itself.

     [26] http://www.example.org/Paris/data

   5.1 look at quoting mechanism

   turn the document in latest version of 57

   Rec should be FOR 303

   not against 303

   then explaining options to it

   and then a normative algorithm that determines from the space
   interpretations gotten in consistent way

   maybe fix fixed informaton resource -> representation

   The data in the browser

   did sometehing useful

   joint task go named graph area

   > - intention of who?

   your talked a URI means or refers to.

   What its minter or owner or person who created metadata what they
   *intend* it to me.

   "discovery problem"

   figure out what the community means.

   <dbooth> dbooth: This is what [27]http://dbooth.org/2009/lifecycle/
   gets into.

     [27] http://dbooth.org/2009/lifecycle/

   "discovery problem"

   XRD, Simple Web Discovery, Web Linking

   fixed information resource

   "fixed information resource" = "version of information resource"?

   <dbooth> dbooth: If you get into "meaning", then you need to define
   what you mean by "meaning", and that's a lot more difficult. But if
   we just talk about the *mechanics* of getting a definition, then we
   don't need to get into it.
