Test Cases
<RalphS> scribenick: ralphs

<mhausenblas> TC

Michael: we've already reviewed 1 through 18

Ben: I can volunteer to look over the cases to see if we have
invalidated any with our recent decisions

Michael: any such cases are either 'on hold' or should be removed

test case 0019

@about for subject

->
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/xhtml1-testcases/Test0019
test 19

proposed to accept 19

resolved to accept 19

test case 0020 Inheriting @about for subject

->
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/xhtml1-testcases/Test0020
test 20

Michael: two nested spans

resolved to accept 20

test case 0021 Subject inheritance with no @about

->
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/xhtml1-testcases/Test0021
test 21

Michael: the semantics now look strange to me

Ben: looks good to me; creator is specified in the correct direction

resolved to accept 21

test case 0022 meta with parent @id

->
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/xhtml1-testcases/Test0022
test 22

Ben: given that we're not including META in body in XHTML 1, we should
reject this test

resolved to reject 22

test case 0023 Ignore @id in non-parent ancestor

->
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/xhtml1-testcases/Test0023
test 23

Michael: this test now tests another useful feature
... we could rename it to 'test that @id does not generate subjects'

Ben: yes, this recent decision does require some implementation changes.
I have code for those edge cases, though we've not seen those edge cases
in practice

resolved to accept 23 with a renaming

<benadida> <div id="photo1"> <span class="attribution-line">this photo
was taken by <span property="dc:creator">Mark Birbeck</span> </span>
</div>

Ben: formerly this test demonstrated that 'photo1' was not inherited.
Now the same test shows that @id never triggers a triple

test case 0024 Ignore @id for non-meta and non-link

Michael: this test should be rejected as redundant

Ben: yes, effectively merged with test 23

resolved to merge 24 into 23

Michael: I'd prefer to just reject rather than merge

resolved to drop 24; it does not test anything new

test case 0025 @id for object

->
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/xhtml1-testcases/Test0025
test 25

<benadida> <span rel="dc:creator" id="me"> <span
property="foaf:name">Ben Adida</span>, <a rel="foaf:mbox"
href="mailto:ben@adida.net">ben@adida.net</a>. </span>

<benadida> <span rel="dc:creator" id="me">

Ben: this test is "interestingly" controversial

<benadida> <> dc:creator <#me> .

Ben: I interpreted this as creating striping (or 'chaining' as Mark has
called it)
... that's what test 25 was meant to test
... one of our non-binding resolutions from last week was to not
consider @id
... so with that in mind, we should reject this test

<mhausenblas> Glossary in -> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/

Michael: I'm trying to put together a glossary in the umbrella document

<mhausenblas> http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/

Michael: I found the striping idea very confusing
... I recommend that the term 'striping' be better-defined or changed to
'chaining'

Ben: I'm happy to change the word to 'chaining' instead
... test 25 was my old idea of how the markup should work, now we're
using @href instead

Michael: rather than drop the test, let's rewrite it to use @href

Shane: this is a pretty arcane level of RDF

Ben: last week's discussion was about the use of @id to do chaining.
Mark was opposed to that

Shane: I don't much care about this notion of chaining

Ben: the intent is to be able to describe intermediate resources

Shane: that description makes a lot more sense

Ben: the concept of 'chaining' is about defining an intermediate
resource
... e.g. a music album with a musician who has a name
... the question is what XML attribute triggers this object/subject
switch
... so test 25 should confirm our decision on which attribute (now
@resource) triggers the object/subject switch
... foaf:mbox could be dropped from this test to simplify it as a
chaining test
... the foaf:mbox adds a second level of chaining

<mhausenblas> This paper was written by

<mhausenblas> <span rel="dc:creator" resource="#me">

<mhausenblas> <span property="foaf:name">Ben Adida</span>.

<mhausenblas> </span>

Ben: yes, that's the simple example

resolved to accept test 25, rewritten, and renamed to 'simple chaining
example'

<benadida> <span rel="dc:creator">

Ben: add ^ to the test for a slightly bigger example

Michael: I'd rather create a new, separate test -- call it test 33

Ben: 33 should use @rel without @resource

<mhausenblas> ... and producing the same SPARQL ask as TC25

<mhausenblas> ... with a bNode instead of #me

<Simone> Simone: phone is bad :( so TC are ok for me

test case 0026 @content

->
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/xhtml1-testcases/Test0026
test 26

Michael: but the span has no content

Ben: so it's a empty literal

<benadida> <span about="http://internet-apps.blogspot.com/"
property="dc:creator" content="Mark Birbeck"> </span>

<mhausenblas> <span about="http://internet-apps.blogspot.com/"
property="dc:creator" content="Mark Birbeck" />

Michael: from an XML viewpoint, 26 and 27 as written are not very
different

Ben: right, we're not testing XML here. It would be OK to change 26 to
be a self-closed element

Shane: I think they're both interesting test cases; they'd really test
the DOM parser
... but I don't think self-closing SPANs work, say, in Internet Explorer

Ben: 26 is worthwhile as a self-closed element and if IE has trouble,
that's good to know

resolved to accept 26, re-written as a self-closed element

<scribe> ACTION: Michael test how <SPAN /> behaves in Internet Explorer
[recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/08/02-rdfa-minutes.html#action06]

Ben: test 27 is the same as 26 but has content in the span

resolved to accept 27

test case 0028 @xml:lang and @datatype

->
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/xhtml1-testcases/Test0028
test 28

Ben: this tests the affect of xml:lang on the triple
... test 28 looks OK to me

<benadida> ACTION: Ben to work through xml:lang issue with Ivan
[recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/08/02-rdfa-minutes.html#action07]

<mhausenblas> 

Ben: I need to followup with Ivan on the behavior of xml:lang

Michael: I think Karl's message 0198 may resolve this

Ben: ok, but I want the Task Force to review it

<benadida> ACTION: Michael to email individual emails to resolve TCs
29-33 (TC 28 to be resolved post xml:lang discussion) [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2007/08/02-rdfa-minutes.html#action08]

<scribe> scribenick: mhausenblas

Documents
Ben: We agreed last time to use XHTML XXX

Shane: Currently no contact to Steven
... he has the edit token

[Steven is on holiday]

Ben: We have an array of changes (chaining, no @id, etc.)

Ralph: He did no significant changes; should be back on 13 Aug
... Does Steven work offline?

<benadida> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/syntax/

Shane: Give me a correct version, I'll take care for the conversion
... may take me some couple of an hour

Ben: Not time-frozen version, but the actual one

-> http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/syntax/Overview.xml

Ben: Pls keep me in the loop
... as Mark and Steven are on holiday
... we might need a separate chat

<RalphS> Shane: the XHTML2 WG has a separate content management system
not on w3.org

Shane: There is a separate access control/system we work on

<RalphS> Ralph: that's too bad, but if the work is getting done then ok

Ben: Have to look at the Primer
... and update it according to the newest development

Implementations
<RalphS> Shane: the intention is still to keep the syntax document as a
stand-alone document

-> http://esw.w3.org/topic/RDFa#Implementations

<benadida> ACTION: Ben to recontact implementors Elias, MarkB, triplr
and post their implementations to
http://esw.w3.org/topic/RDFa#Implementations [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2007/08/02-rdfa-minutes.html#action09]

<ShaneM> question: does syntax document become rec-track? I can't
remember

<ShaneM> Ben says yes.

<ShaneM> Note that there is already a separate xhtml-rdfa document that
does a similar thing, but without all the syntax parsing rules.

Ralph: TomB had the question regarding reck-track

<Simone> Simone: I'm testing Js implementation and works great, for XSL
implementation I've load a parser with Fabien's XSL but my Sablotron has
problem, so also Monkey RDFa (a PHP parser with n3 output) works good

<Simone> Simone: So on W3C XSL servlet is ok, we may ask to get an RDFa
extractor service?

<RalphS> Michael: will we ever declare the test cases frozen?

<RalphS> Ralph: as we're not doing conformance test, I suggest we leave
ourselves the option to add a test whenever we reach a decision about an
open question

<RalphS> Ben: it would be nice to be able to add a test without having
to take [the test case] document back to Last Call

<RalphS> ... for now, it's good that our strategy be to act as if the
test cases were Rec Track

<RalphS> Ben: I'll be running in-between meetings next week, may have
difficulty making a call
