<ChrisW> Scribe: Igor Mozetic
<scribe> Agenda: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2007Feb/0005.html
<AlexKozlenkov> 44 is UK
<JeffP> +44 is UK
<AlexKozlenkov> Thanks for the UK bridge
calls from nonUS: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2007Feb/0007.html
<ChrisW> RESOLVED: accept Jan 30 minutes
RESOLUTION: approve minutes from Jan. 30 telecom
<ChrisW> sandro, i did an "/invite rifbot #rif" is that right?
<JeffP> earlier in Europe I guess
RESOLUTION: March 13 and 20 telecom will be at 4pm CET time
<ChrisW> action-214 done
<ChrisW> 13 people have responded that they are attending the f2f
csma: do we need a liaison with XBRL?
<Harold> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBRL
csma: PRR is different from XBRL
<agiurca> XBRL represents financial vocabularies
<Harold> Christian, Said Tabet is interested in XBRL; could you ask him?
<csma> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/5
<ChrisW> RESOLVED: Close Issue-5
<PaulaP> I've also modified use case 2 based on Dave's comments
<ChrisW> and thank you DaveR for the comments
<ChrisW> ACTION: Allen to add conclusion/summary to UCR [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/02/06-rif-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Sorry... I don't know anything about this channel
<ChrisW> RESOLVED: Close Issue-7
csma: we need 2-3 reviewers for UCR WD3 before F2F
<ChrisW> zakikm, who is here?
<agiurca> I can do it
agiurca: reviewer no.1
<LeoraMorgenstern> yes
MoZ: reviewer no.2
<LeoraMorgenstern> yes, I'll be there
LeoraMorgenstern: reviewer no.3
<LeoraMorgenstern> Okay.
ChrisW: reviewers should send comments to the whole list before F2F
csma: what to say about OWL and RDF compatibility?
ChrisW: we have to say something, even if it is a placeholder
<Harold> OWL placeholder: http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/A.5_Extension%3A_Ontology_Conditions
MichaelKifer: proposes just sections/placeholder in WD1
<ChrisW> RESOLVED: 1st CORE WD will have sections titled "OWL Compatibility" and "RDF COmpatibility"
Sandro: doesn't object
<ChrisW> harold, can you take an action to do that
csma: what to say about ASN06 and abstract syntax?
<Harold> Chris, Yes.
<Harold> Chris, it's sections *titled* ...
MichaelKifer: if we use BNF we have to say something about abstract syntax
<Harold> Michael, we called the BNF syntax Human Readable syntax.
<Harold> This is different from Sandro's Abstract syntax.
<Harold> Sandro's Abstract syntax really is an OO Abstract model.
Hassan: why another formalism
like ASN06?
... we need flexible tools to move from surface syntax to
abstract syntax
csma: BNF syntaxt is specific to Horn logic and rules
<Harold> Christian, for Phase 1 we want to use Horn.
csma: ASN06 will specify the abstract syntaxt, and XML the concrete one
<Harold> So, an extensible BNF syntax for Horn is what we want as the Human Readable syntax.
<GaryHallmark> I as an implementer want an XML schema for RIF. Where does that come from?
<sandro> GaryHallmark, that's generated by software from the asn06 file.
<agiurca> schema can be generated from asn06
csma: distinguish between using
ASN06 and BNF in WD1
... we need at least one in WD1
... what is normative syntax is another question
<Harold> OWL also has a Human Readable syntax.
MichaelKifer: proposes to use BNF in WD1
<Harold> We wanted to be compatible with OWL, so we developed a very similar one, which has been in the Core since its beginning.
<Harold> We need it for specifying the semantics.
ChrisW: we add a clear statement that BNF is not normative
DaveReynolds:
MichaelKifer: in a few days there will be a stable version of WD1
<AlexKozlenkov> Does anyone have a good reference for asn06 apart from the RIF WIKI?
MichaelKifer: ASN06 can be added during or after F2F
<AxelPolleres> will just stay on IRC for a while to check what's going on...
Harold: fully striped XML is equivalent to ASN06
Sandro: turning BNF into ASN06 is not hard
<sandro> Sandro: To hide the fact that we don't have a metamodel we really like for the Core, by leaving out the asn06, isn't an approach I like.
csma: we need a description of ASN06 in WD1
<AlexKozlenkov> As I asked above, does Sandro have a good reference?
<sandro> ChrisW: what about using a UML diagram, instead of asn06 ?
ChrisW: proposes to add a UML diagram into WD1 as a metamodel for RIF
<sandro> +1 get formalizing asn06 out of the critical path for WD1
csma: provide UML diagram, use
BNF, no ASN06, and
... make it clear that it is not normative
Sandro: keep "no ASN06" out of the resolution
<Harold> DaveR, BNF is needed for the semantics spec.
DaveReynolds: why BNF, it might be misleading
MichaelKifer: BNF has a long tradition in mathematics
ChrisW: agrees with Michael
<AlexKozlenkov> I don't think UML is enough, it's just a graphical notation unless MOF is brought into it.
<GerdWagner> Alex, they mean MOF/UML when saying "UML"
<Harold> Example for the use of BNF syntax in semantics: I |= head :- body
<AlexKozlenkov> GW: they were suggesting using diagrams
<Harold> Another one: We define I |= Q head :- body iff I* |= head :- body for every I* that agrees with I everywhere except possibly on some variables mentioned in Q.
MichaelKifer: BNF cannot be
avoided if we want to provide semantics
... if we want readability
csma: don't remove the BNF from WD1
<ChrisW> proposed: 1st WD will include a UML diagram, and a clearly labelled non-normative BNF, for the syntax
<PaulaP> +1 to stay with the BNF syntax for the 1st WD
DaveReynolds: does not object to using BNF
<agiurca> +1 to include an UML diagram
<DaveReynolds> igor: I said I "would not object"
<AlexKozlenkov> Gerd, could you please clarify?
DaveReynolds: said he would _not_ object to BNF
<ChrisW> proposed: 1st WD will include a MOF-UML diagram, and a clearly labelled non-normative BNF, for the syntax
<sandro> BNF should be labelled not just non-normative but "not reviewed by WG"
<Harold> Christian, I can translate the asn06 model to MOF/UML.
Sandro: BNF was not reviewed by the RIF group and is not endorsed
<Harold> (But Sandro could soon do automatically?)
<AlexKozlenkov> But all the examples using BNF would then become "not reviewed by WG"?
Sandro: and this should be clearly stated in WD1
<sandro> "The Working Group has not considered the design of the language exprssed in this BNF. It is just a pedagogical tool. The serialization itself has not in any way been endorsed by the working group as a language for expressing rules"
<sandro> "for illustration purposes only"
<Harold> Christian, there are no commas!
<Harold> We use OWL's language.
<Harold> OWL uses a Lisp-like space-separated language.
<Hassan> +1 to proposed resolution above
<ChrisW> proposed: 1st WD will include a MOF-UML diagram, and a BNF (clearly labelled as non-normative and illustrative only) , for the syntax
<sandro> Proposed: WD1 will include a MOF UML diagram and a BNF clearly labeles as non-normative and for illustration purposes only.
<AlexKozlenkov> MOF then becomes normative
Harold: objects to have BNF labeled as non-normative
MichaelKifer: agrees with Harold since we are too far from the final document
<ChrisW> proposed: 1st WD will include a MOF-UML diagram, and a BNF, for the syntax (clearly labelled as illustrative only)
<Harold> proposed: 1st WD will include a MOF-UML diagram, and a BNF, for the syntax (clearly labelled for illustration/explanation purposes only)
csma: both MOF/UML and BNF (or any) may disapear in the future
<AlexKozlenkov> no comma before "and a BNF"
<PaulaP> +1
<Hassan> +1
<Harold> proposed: 1st WD will include a MOF-UML diagram and a BNF, for the syntax (clearly labelled for illustration/explanation purposes only).
<AllenGinsberg> should say "clearly labelled as being for..."
