Agenda - 20 Feb. 2007 @ 14:30 UTC

Most of our business this week relates to the test suite. We continue to 
progress towards Last Call, and we'll spend a bit of time talking about 
how to get there from where we are now.

1. Review ACTION Items

These action appear DONE:

Let's check on the status of the following actions:

ACTION: AndyS to add text clarifying the prohibition on blank node labels 
in multiple BGPs to rq25
ACTION: Elias to add wording for PROPOSED: ed(The SPARLQ Protocol does not 
derefrence query URIs so 5.1.3 does not apply. Per 5.1.4, services must 
define their own base URI, which may be the service invocation URI.)
ACTION: EricP to run the yacker tool over and annotate the existing tests
ACTION: LeeF to remember that the wee, lost filter tests should be put 
ACTION: Lee to talk to protocol editors re: POSTing 
application/sparql-query


2. Test suite

Jeen moved some query evaluation tests to the new testing environment...
  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2007JanMar/0080.html

...and Andy corrected a typo and reports that ARQ passes the tests.
  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2007JanMar/0081.html

Please try to take a look at these tests in advance so that we can approve 
them.

Eric proposed a syntax test similar to what we approved last week to note 
that OPTIONAL clauses break up BGPs. He also suggested similar tests for 
the GRAPH keyword.
  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2007JanMar/0079.html

I'd like to also discuss and approve these tests if possible.


3. rq25 status and reviews

We've made more progress on reviews and responses to reviews this week:

  + Souri on placement of '.' in SPARQL queries:
 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2007JanMar/0088.html
  + AndyS incorporates Simon's first batch of feedback:
 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2007JanMar/0086.html


4. protocol status


The protocol document has not changed much since our previous last calls. 
Does anyone want to do a review of it prior to publishing a LC draft?


5. Road to Last Call

What does our schedule look like from here? Perhaps we can pencil in a 
date on which we hope to make a decision to publish last call drafts?


6. Minimal test suite?

Simon suggested several weeks ago that:

"""
I'm somewhat inclined to have a "designed" collection of tests that are a 
roughly minimal coverage of the features.  Those extra tests reduce the 
chance of a human ever actually reading them, which is highly desirable 
for correctness and understanding.
"""

This was mostly discussed on IRC at the time, and I promised an agenda 
slot to further the discussion last week. I'll keep this around until we 
have a chance to discuss it. In general this is a standing agenda item 
pending time and a good phone connection for Simon.
