Scribe: FabienGandon
RESOLUTION: to approve minutes 20th Sep
HarryH: SW coordination group accepts the idea of issuing the drafts of the primer and the use case document first and later the specs.
Ian: my access to the CVS rep. is setup but to be tested.
Ian: I am happy with the comments but I need some more time to integrate them.
Harry: I am ok to go to draft without all the examples/sample files as long as they are included in next version
Harry: At least simple sample files for input and output should be available on the web.
Chimezie:I wouldn't say the primer is ready to ship. The main parts that weren't clear to me was the use of XFN and the role of 'spidering'
DanC I'm torn... you never get a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression... but I really want to ship something in September.
Murray: Can we have the use case first then the primer then the spec ; this would give us some time and let people absorb the different docs
Ian: I agree the primer could you some additional time.
<Ian:> it needs more time, but i think we should publish primer sooner not later and get more public feedback
Harry: could we setup a comment list?
<DanC:> ideas: grddl-talk, public-grddl-comments, public-grddl-talk, public-grddl-forum
<HarryH:> perhaps public-grddl-comments
<DanC> ACTION: DanC to set up public-grddl-comments [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action01]
Murray: sent a review on the vocabulary.
<DanC> 1.33 glossary http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/doc43/scenario-gallery.htm
Murray: the introduction I wrote for the specs could be used in other docs.
<chimezie> both primer and usecase documents have different audiences so abstracts/intros would expected to be different in what they are tryin to communicate
DanC: you need both teh abstract and an introduction.
FG: for the time being I only maintain the abstract, if we need an intro we could get it from the last version of the abstract.
<DanC> (abstract I just wrote is in 1.94 http://www.w3.org/2004/01/rdxh/spec )
Murray: the introduction I wrote plus the one of the primer plus a simple example would be a good introduction for all three docs.
Chimezie: the audience matters in the introduction
<DanC> yes, "A number of documents contain data that could be valuable if they were automatically accessible." is good.
Harry: I like Murray's intro; I don't want knowledge representation to appear in the intro
DanC: want to get it out in September but seems we still some more discussions
Chimezie: a common abstract could have an added value but the current versions are not too far from the quality to be shipped
<chimezie> My problem with not using knowledge representation (or something similar) is that metadata doesn't really say anything.
<HarryH> I believe I avoided both the words 'metadata' and 'knowledge represetnation' in my revised wording :)
<DanC> . ACTION DanC: coordinate edits on the abstracts and intros thru Friday noon chicago/boston time
<scribe> ACTION: DanC to coordinate edits on the abstracts and intros thru Friday noon chicago/boston time [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action03]
Harry: uses cases should be published ASAP.
<HarryH> my take on use-case intro in this e-mail: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2006Sep/0164.html
Ryager: I missed the date for the
review.
... I read the version of saturday and I approved it. I will
re-read the next version.
Murray: discuss the vocabulary choice
Chimezie: no strong feeling on this
Ryager: the intro reads strange.
<chimezie> my argument for terminology as is: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-grddl-wg/2006Sep/0178.html
Danc: we are changing the
intro.
... possible candidates: GRDDL-candidate doc, GRDDL source
document, others? What are the preferences?
Harry: let's go arround the table.
DanC: Processor ok, GRDDL(aware) agent, source document
<DanC> I prefer GRDDL-aware agent/client, source document, GRDDL transformation
Ian: like source document
<DanC> I meant to say I *don't* like processor.
Chimezie: like the doc as it is
<HarryH> Harry: client rather than agent
Harry: source doc ok, processor fine, transformation ok
Fabien: I hear "GRDDL client" do we have consensus?
Murray: well, add "aware".
Fabien "source document" seems ok to me
<chimezie> Agent has a specific connotation, client is so open-ended that is says nothing other than it operates over a network
Murray: how about "GRDDL agent" and "result document"?
Chimezie: I don't like "client"...
Murray: "user agent" is the neutral term in place of "browser"
Fabien: source document, GRDDL transformation seem clear...
Harry: I don't hear consensus around GRDDL processor/agent/client... "aware"...
DanC whereas it doesn't affect running code, I'm happy to delegate to the editor, i.e. have Fabien pick
Harry: or maybe "agent" is the preference?
Fabien: My opinion: "source document", "GRDDL transformation", "GRDDL agent"
Fabien: Consensus: "source document", "GRDDL transformation", "GRDDL-aware agent"
Harry: so "grddl aware agent", "source document", "GRDDL transformation"?
<HarryH> result document?
<DanC> (no objection to "grddl aware agent", "source document", "GRDDL transformation")
Murray and "result document"?
Harry: any objection to s/GRDDL result document/result document/?
Rachel: I don't like "GRDDL result document"
RESOLVED: vocabulary is "grddl-aware agent" "source document" "GRDDL transformation" "result document"
<scribe> ACTION: Fabien to use "source document", "result document", "GRDDL transformation", "GRDDL-aware agent" [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action04]
Harry: consensus about the rest of the doc?
DanC: there was a pb with the pictures.
Murray: I just meant that the edits should include the pictures as well as the text.
Fabien: there was an objection from Danny on wiki pictures and xform picture. I'm working on integrating a figure suggestion from Chimezie
<scribe> ACTION: Fabien to integrate Chimezie's picture about XForms [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action05]
<DanC> PROPOSED: to publish use cases http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/doc43/scenario-gallery.htm 1.33 + edits to introduction, glossary, and XForms diagram as agreed by 2 of DanC, Ian, Fabien, Murray by Friday noon chicago time
HarryH: try to avoid changing everything before releasing
Murray: I second the proposal
No objection.
<DanC> so RESOLVED.
RESOLUTION: to publish use cases http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/doc43/scenario-gallery.htm 1.33 + edits to introduction, glossary, and XForms diagram as agreed by 2 of DanC, Ian, Fabien, Murray by Friday noon chicago time
HarryH: do we release the primer on friday?
DanC: if we are happy with the inro and abstract? can we ship the primer too? I would like to ship both the primer and uses case docs at the same time.
<scribe> ACTION: Fabien to try to get a diagram on the XFN part of the primer before friday. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/27-grddl-wg-minutes.html#action06]
Chimezie: we need more details to understand the XFN and make the diagram.
<DanC> noodling on proposal: PROPOSED: to release GRDDL Primer as a W3C WD, contingent on OK from Harry and Chime on XFN-related edits.
Murray the signposting [?] is misleading. I'd really like the section headings changed as I suggested.
IanD: I don't understand what is misleading.
DanC: may be we are asking the reader to store too much before getting to the punch line.
MM: it is not a big pb i.e. we shouldn't stop publishing because of that.
<DanC> 6180 2006-09-27 13:29:57Z
<DanC> PROPOSED: to release GRDDL Primer v 6180 + edits to abstract, intro agreed by IanD+DanC as a W3C WD, contingent on OK from Harry and Chime on XFN-related edits.
