Re: prov-wg: Vote on Exit Criteria

+1  (IE, Jet Propulsion Laboratory / California Institute of Technology)

A comment regarding "at least two independent implementations". The phrasing of "An implementation is one of three things:" as mentioned here
http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/ProvCRExitCriteria#What_constitutes_an_implementation.3F
allows for, say, two data sets that use PROV as a sufficient condition to pass the exit criteria.
However, would that be a weak exit criteria in this case? A more useful implementation demonstration would include (1) an implementation producing a data set and (2) another implementation consuming the data set. This also would demonstrate interoperability if the implementations are done by independent implementors. An optional condition would be then that the data set is backed by a vocabulary or ontology that extends PROV. Practically speaking, I also realize that this situation is an ideal case that may not be easily met.

Hello All,

We would now like to vote on the Exit Criteria for Candidate Recommendations for our specifications.

You can find the exit criteria here: http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/ProvCRExitCriteria

The proposal is as follows:

The Exit Criteria defined at http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/ProvCRExitCriteria are those that the Working Group will propose as those that need to be met for PROV-O, PROV-N, PROV-DM and PROV-Constraints to move from Candidate Recommendation to Proposed Recommendation.

Please indicate the support or not for this resolution with a +1, 0, or -1 and indicate your institution.

Thanks
Paul
