... to close 1 and 4

<DavidHirtle> DaveR - okay to leave the "see charter" comment at http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/UCR/Requirements#req-xml-types?

<DavidHirtle> (I think it should stay)

Dave: issue 6.2 no conclusion for the moment

Christian: They are not exaclty the same, but we can merge them, depending of the level of detail

Dave: do we make the distinction ?

Chris: about implementability

<Allen> Dave: so the action is done?

Christian: propose clarify the wording of the requirement about implementability

<ChrisW> ACTION: chris to clarify distinction between implementability and standard components requirements [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/19-rif-minutes.html#action03]

Issue 22 : alan's proposal

Alan: look at the original terminology, and send a email to the WG

Allen: take into account a slide from Christian
... i describe an alternative approche about 2 rulesets in the same model

<ChrisW> Allen's message: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2006Sep/0046.html

Christian: do we need to have an official definition ?

Chris: the word "cover" is used in 4 requirements

Christian: propose to rephrase these requirements
... features that must exist into RIF, or each features must have the exact semantic of another language ?


<sandro> "q+", Francois

Christian: cover for syntactic and one for transfering the semantic
... propose to abandon the word "cover"

<sandro> Sandro: I think "coverage" is an important feature for users -- they want to know if their language/features are covered

Francois: distinguishing syntax and semantics is dangerous
... do not want to keep the syntax

Christian: cannot separate the syntax and semantics
... the word cover should be taken at the feature level


<ChrisW> scribenick: axelpolleres

<scribe> scribenick: AxelPolleres

<Harold> In http://www.debruijn.net/publications/msa-ruleml05.pdf (section 4 The Relationship Between Layers, page 9) there is a formal definition of Language extensions.
