Re: [ALL] agenda telecon 14 Dec

Hi all,

I had a lengthy conversation with TimBL about named graphs at the LEDP Workshop [1] last week.  Briefly, he feels that the semantics for named graphs should work like this:

- An RDF Graph is named via a URI.
- The URI denotes the RESTful Representation that is returned when the URI is resolved.

That is, the URI denotes the graph's contents, not the graph Resource itself.

How do Peter and Pat feel about that?

TimBL: Please let us know if I misrepresented your position.

Separately, Elsevier representatives Brad Allen and Alan Yagoda informed me that by "named graphs" they mean an RDF Graph that is referenced by a URI.  Resolution of that URI returns the graph contents (a g-text) via RESTful interaction.  That would seem to be in line with TimBL's preference.

Regards,
Dave

I have included in the agenda some discussion topics that came up in recent telecons, plus the email of Andy on TriG examples.  I suggest we also have a meta-discussion on what our options are for getting consensus.
