<sandro> action-99 done
<sandro> action-105 -- John says he'll finish it today
<sandro> action-115 redundant with Frank's -- a mistake.
csma: Issues
<sandro> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/open
<sandro> issue-3
<csma> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2006Sep/0067.html
Frank: Interoperability and extensibility bothe should be supported. Extensibility was somehow dropped before. XML syntax supports extensibility within its model.
<sandro> Frank: XML has an extensibility strategy -- not universally used (eg SOAP "must understand") -- based on ignoring structures you don't understand.
Frank: XML does support extensibility. There is a link between supporting XML for extensibility and CSF.
Csma: Perhaps people did not
understand it..
... Propose resolution at the next meeting.
... Issue 4:also posted by Frank
<csma> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2006Sep/0068.html
Frank: compliance model and interoperability link for CSF diagram
<sandro> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/4
Frank: Don't know why it was dropped in last F2F?
sandro: doesn't know why
<DavidHirtle> I think it was just due to lack of time for discussion/consensus
<DavidHirtle> (before the last draft)
sandro: Most people did not understand the concept - that is why it was dropped -- as far as I can remember
Frank: Require having a simple compliance model so that we can, by varying the model adapt to various specifications such as, interoperability
<sandro> Frank: Compliance Model is higher/meta level than Default Behavior
Frank: compliance model is at the meta level - RIF spec is a document. To be compliant look at the various features. Compliant model gives you what you need to be compliant for interoperability
Chris: If no one is speaking up on an issue just accept it and move on.
<DavidHirtle> +1 to ChrisW
<DavidHirtle> we can resolve these issues now
csma: Issue 3:Propose to accept Frank's solution
<DavidHirtle> Frank's solution: the XML syntax requirement supports both the interoperability and the extensibility CSFs
Dave Reynolds:Not sure about the proposal.
<sandro> DaveReynolds: I think RDF/XML supports extensibility where XML does not -- XML tools do not generally automatically support extensibility.
csma: we are chartered to see if XML supports extesibility , not look at some other language
<sandro> Frank: XML's approach to extensibility is probably not strong enough for RIF -- RDF/XML's might or might not be.
Frank: XML or RDF model strong enough for RIF
Dave: Generic XML tools do not allow extensibility
<sandro> Frank: XML tools *do* allow arbitrary content to go through -- DaveReynolds is wrong.
<sandro> csma: please move this to e-mail.
<DavidHirtle> Proposed: the Compliance Model requirement supports the Interoperability CSF
<csma> However, the reason that a compliance model supports interoperability
<csma> is that a formal understanding of what it means to comply to the RIF
<csma> is *essential* to the succesful use of RIF, and hence to
<csma> interoperability. The alternative to a formal compliance model is an
<csma> informal one: i.e., that defined by what popular tools support.
<sandro> +1 this text
<sandro> RESOLVED that the compliance model supports interoperability, for this reason.
<sandro> RESOLVED: that the compliance model requirement supports interoperability CSF, for this reason.
<sandro> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/5
<sandro> skip issue 5 -- actions pending
csma: Skip issue 5 and move to issue 6
<sandro> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/6
<DavidHirtle> it was closed in a previous telecon, right?
<DavidHirtle> oh, nevermind -- that was the previous one
csma: Explain issue 6.2
<Deborah_Nichols> csma: Action 114 on Chris W addressed issue 6.2
Chris W: Implementability and using std. components. Difference is that semantics of RIF should be such that it shouldn't allow people to solve currently unsolved problems
Chris W:Design should make people use what is out there - use the available components
<sandro> csma: Implementability means: implementation requires no new science
Chris W: one rqmt for implementability pushes for - no new developemnt solutions to be looked at
<sandro> csma: while "standard components" means implemention can re-use existing software modules, eg XML for parsers.
Chris W:The other restriction on component encourages use of what is already out there.
<sandro> this is about ISSUE-6
Csma: Dave R. Are you convinced by Chris's rqmt?
<sandro> DaveReynolds: I am convinced by this; the question is who is going to fix the text
Dave R.No Objection for Chris's suggestion.
Chris W: I will clarify this
<sandro> ACTION: Chris to propose new text clarifying ISSUE-6 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/26-rif-minutes.html#action03]
<rifbot> Created ACTION-123 - Propose new text clarifying ISSUE-6 [on Chris Menzel - due 2006-10-03].

<rifbot> Created ACTION-125 - Propose new text clarifying ISSUE-6 [on Christopher Welty - due 2006-10-03].
Deborah: Has summarized the issue
in an email
... Criticism on the use cases - some things not resolved. So
I revisited it.
csma: -- Is there a general agreement on length of use cases? Propose to move it for giving more description
csma:-- use cases should be illustrating the features for RIF. Focus on use cases to be morefocussed . #3 under 7 - should we do any more work to focus the use case rqmt?
<DavidHirtle> -1 to moving the use cases
<sandro> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/7
David: Derive rqmts from the use cases?
Csma: He meant not just a pointer from use case to rqmt but some explanation is needed
<FrankMcCabe> gotto go ... see y'all next week
Dave: this requirement sounds backward. Looks like each use case will need to be turned around
<sandro> Ciao, FrankMcCabe.
Deborah: UC were motivational to begin with and they could point to more than one rqmt. So task is that without restructuring do the linking to rqmt.
csma: We haven't done anything on this front yet.
Leora: UC were originally at a high level of description. If there was some more detailed level of description then the rqmts would be much clearer. For eg requirement for embedded meta-data is hard to link to the UC. We need to add more meat to the UC for some requirements by being more concrete in the UC
<DavidHirtle> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/UCR/Requirements
<sandro> As published: http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-ucr/#Requirements
sandro: Each UC should be manifested as a test case
CSMA: There seems to be 3 different sources of Requirements (1) from the use cases, (2) Rule Languages to be covered, & (3) from the charter of the WG.
Leora: Make the UC more solid in order to illustrate the link to requirements more solidly
<sandro> +1 to putting real rules, in real rule languages in at least some of the use cases.
<sandro> (maybe off in a different, Test Cases document.)
Allen: Some of the R are non-functional - cannot pinpoint to it like security, implemenatbility, semantic coverage, etc.
<LeoraMorgenstern> Mala, I am not arguing, per se, for shortening the requirements: Rather, I am arguing for making at least some use cases more concrete, while recognizing the need not to add length to the already over-long use cases.
sandro -- soon is an issue too. Come up with links for meta data should be doable in a short time frame.
<sandro> ACTION: Allen to write intro text for UCR, explaining how there are different sources of requirements [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/26-rif-minutes.html#action07]
<rifbot> Created ACTION-126 - Write intro text for UCR, explaining how there are different sources of requirements [on Allen Ginsberg - due 2006-10-03].
csma: Allen to distinguish
different types of requirements for the UC. Analyze the requirements - then we will
see for which requirements we can be more specific. Propose to people to
write a draft for their UC?
... Any other proposal on how to proceed for this? For now,
take UCs one by one.
<LeoraMorgenstern> ok, that's reasonable
Chris W: Leora take a shot at the medical UC and write it up in detail connecting with the requirements. Then have other people take this as a guide if they like the exercise.
<LeoraMorgenstern> (I somehow managed to disconnect myself from the call, but am still on the IRC)
<LeoraMorgenstern> I'm here but off the phone
<LeoraMorgenstern> Anyway, yes, I'll do what Chris asked
<LeoraMorgenstern> Let me get back onthe call
<csma> Will you work on the medical UC?
<sandro> Sandro: is this about adding more details -- like real rules -- or about linking to requirements ?
Leora: Will do. Adding more concrete stuff to the rules.
Sandro: Do second part of linking to requirements without writing out the rules?
<sandro> Chris: I think we should leave out specific rules at this point, but if you can address the second half -- maybe at a little detail, but focus showing how it connnects to requirements.
ChrisW: Leave UC to be without any real rules. Make the UC more specific. Add text to add requirements not covered. Avoid adding specific Rules.
<sandro> LeoraMorgenstern: I'll probably write the rules, and then cut them out.
<sandro> +1 concreteness
Leora: It is easier for me to do with specific rules/ I will edit it out for the WG even though I will work with the rules for my own sake. However,I will hold it for the test cases document.
<sandro> Sandro: hold on to the concrete rules for the test cases document.
<sandro> LeoraMorgenstern: it's easier for me to add specific rules, but I understand that you don't want the concrete rules in the UCR.
csma: By analyzing the requirements you can see if the UC needs to be made more specific.
<sandro> ACTION? Leora to propose revision to the medical use case, adding links to requrements, with some supporting arguments
Chris W: Misunderstood the example being proposed by CSMA
<sandro> ACTION: Leora to propose revision to the medical use case, adding links to requrements, with some supporting arguments [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/26-rif-minutes.html#action08]
<rifbot> Created ACTION-127 - Propose revision to the medical use case, adding links to requrements, with some supporting arguments [on Leora Morgenstern - due 2006-10-03].
<sandro> csma/ChrisW: adding links to all requirements, with some supporting arguments --- should be done for all requirements/usecases.
csma: We may not want this exercise to be done for all UCs. Let us do for one first. If supporting arguments not convincing then we can revise some of the UCs.
<sandro> csma/ChrisW: step 2 -- if that's not convincing, then we need to revise requirements.
csma: Who wants to do for #2? Francois?
<Francois> I could ask Paula to do it when she is back.
csma: I think it should it be done by someone who did not write the UC?
<Francois> I repeat: I could ask Paula to do it when she is back.
csma: Dave-R? R for UC2?
<sandro> DaveReynolds: No, I'm not convinced by it, so I can't really do it.
Dave: I am not right person for this UC as I am not convinced about it.
<Francois> +q
Francois: Paula could be considered for this.
csma: some one who did not write it is desirable.
<Francois> zakm, mute me.
csma: -- action for Paula. Linkl UC2 to R.
ChrisW: cannot give action to Paula if she is not here.
<Francois> paula is not on vacation, she is giving a talk.
csma: Give Francois the action to talk to Paula.
<Francois> I take the action.
<pfps> gtg.
csma: Paul volunteered for next one.
<Francois> very fine.

csma:UC4 volunteer.
<AxelPolleres> well, i thought that i am the author of 10???? ;-)
Leora: Why am I taking one on medical support if idea is not the author for the UC?
csma: No. The idea is also to show the way for linking.
<AxelPolleres> let the authors give a try, and then revise by others... makes most sense imo. anyway need to go, i will see in the minutes
Allen: Am I a good candidate for mine?
csma: Allen volunteered for UC3
