Wiki Policy
...........

Discussion about RIF wiki etiquette
- wiki changes should be attributed to a person
  (changes can be found in the changelog, different version can be
  referenced via URI)
- parts of pages should have an ID to reference them in email messages
  (use [[Anchor(anchorname)]])
- how to handle discussions on the wiki
  (use the mailing list for discussions if appropriate)

Some more suggestions, but time ran out.

ACTION: sandro add link about wiki usage (continued)
ACTION: sandro update main web page re: meetings (continued)


2. Liaison
----------

Other standards efforts such as SPARQL (W3C), PRR (OMG), Common
Logic (ISO) have some overlap with the RIF work.
Other efforts mentioned were OMG Semantics of Business Vocabulary
and Business Rules (SBVR), OMG Ontology Definition Metamodel,
OWL1.1 (as discussed in an informal meeting at ISWC), query languages
and XQuery, standards bodies such as NIST, RuleML, SWSL, Semantic
Web Services efforts at W3C

Informal efforts should be liaised with informally.

Question will be who is volunteering to do the liaison work, if
formal liaison is needed. This information will be recorded in
the wiki.


3. Use Case & Requirements
--------------------------

There was discussion around the proposed classification scheme for
the Note.  The main reason for improving the current classification
scheme is to help relate use cases to requirements (e.g., 
http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Multi-Dimensional_Use_Case_Classification).
The editors will come up with a classification scheme and have a draft
of the Note by the 17th, taking into account the possibly overlapping
dimensions of the proposed schemes.  Based on the draft more discussions
and refinements are welcome.

The editors asked all to update the use cases in the wiki to fit the
new template. A notification about the change has been sent via the
mailing list.


4. OWL & RDF Compatibility
--------------------------

Jos and pfps added some content on the wiki pages, but more discussion
is solicited.  The mailing list was found to be the appropriate
channel to elaborate on the topic.

It was agreed that the group uses tags to denote different subgroups
in email messages on the list.

ACTION: chris to propose a set of tags for different subgroups 


5. Classification
-----------------

Approaches to classification were posted on the wiki. Chris suggested
to use the mailing list for this type of discussions.

Benjamin volunteered to put up an initial wiki page with the rule systems
the group wants to consider.

Harold volunteer to put together a fine-grained classification scheme
based on the RuleML classification

ACTION: harold to do a fine classification of rule systems
ACTION: benjamin to start a wiki page with initial list of systems
ACTION: chris clarify desiderata forlist of classifications (continued)
