<AxelPolleres> ok, for conditions only doesn't matter probably...

csma descrbes the content of the above link

csma: I proposed a different syntax than BLD
... that's becuase the dicussions on the XML syntax haven't been finalised

<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-422 - Review FLD [on Stella Mitchell - due 2008-02-19].

<csma> I did not include them in PRD

<csma> You want them?

<csma> :-)

<josb> unhappy, but not object

<apaschke> PRD: to support CLIPS?

<csma> Adrain: not at a cost for everybody else (that is, better CLIPS only bearing the cost)

<Harold> Common Logic also has named-arguments. E.g.: (married (roleset:(husband Jack)(wife Jill)))

<GaryHallmark> the reason I'm unhappy is there are 2 separate interp. fcns for slotted and positional, indicating that we don't really know how to map between the two

BLD - Issue 40

<GaryHallmark> ... but somehow implementers will have to figure it out

<ChrisW> PROPOSED: Fixed interpretation functions will be represented as TERMs and fixed interpretation relations as ATOMICs.

<MichaelKifer> Gary, there are always many choices (with or without named args). The implementors have to pick whatever they think is most suitable.

Chris: which action should we start with?

csma: Action 408

http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/actions/408

<ChrisW> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2008Feb/0005.html

<apaschke> =boolean-valued relations?

Igor: are we talking about using equality for assignment?

<AxelPolleres> being TERMs, it means built-ins may appear in all TERM positions. What do you mean Igor?

<Harold> Igor, Christian, Yes Equal can be used for assiging evaluation results from functional builtins to logic Vars.

<IgorMozetic> do we use ?X = add(1,2)

<apaschke> +1 for chris

josb: why do we need assignment at all?

<apaschke> ?X = add(1,2) is fully declarative

<AxelPolleres> +1 to jos, if we have functions as TERMs, they may appear in equality or any other predicate.

<Harold> Yes, something like And(?X = add(1,2), p(Seq(?X ?X)))

<ChrisW> PROPOSED: Fixed interpretation functions will be represented as TERMs and fixed interpretation relations as ATOMICs.

<apaschke> e.g if X is bound it reduce to eqality otherwise it is assignment

<sandro> Chris: These are syntactically different from logic functions.

<Harold> For "Small RIF Dialects" we can use a signature for Equal corresponding to Prolog's "is" primitive.

<IgorMozetic> not using add(1,2,?X)

<Harold> Something like Equal ( Var, Exterm ).

Sandro: what are the alternatives?

<josb> PROPOSED: Fixed interpretation functions will be represented as functions and fixed interpretation relations as predicates, rather than representing functions as predicates

<sandro> Chris: This excludes having only "builtin" predicates. We'll use some of each.

<sandro> Chris: Some predicates and some functions. Not JUST predicates.

<sandro> +1

<Harold> +1

<AxelPolleres> +1

<IgorMozetic> +1

<josb> +1

<MichaelKifer> +0

0

<apaschke> +1

<GaryHallmark> +1, assuming fixed interp. is syntactically distinguished from logical terms

<josb> RESOLVED: Fixed interpretation functions will be represented as functions and fixed interpretation relations as predicates, rather than representing functions as predicates

http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/List_of_BLD_built-ins

<ChrisW> ATOMIC ::= Uniterm | Equal | ExtTerm

<ChrisW> ATOMIC ::= Uniterm | Equal | ExtTerm

<ChrisW> TERM ::= Const | Var | Uniterm | ExtTerm

<ChrisW> ExtTerm ::= 'Builtin ( ' Uniterm ' ) '

<IgorMozetic> So we will use ?X = Buildin(add(1,2))

<josb> That's why it's good :)

<AxelPolleres> as long as this is not ambiguous with a normal uniterm...

<ChrisW> ACTION: harold to incorporate new builtin syntax in bld [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/02/12-rif-minutes.html#action13]

<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-423 - Incorporate new builtin syntax in bld [on Harold Boley - due 2008-02-19].

<AxelPolleres> ie. is "Builtin" forbidden as a local name, yes????

<AxelPolleres> hello?

<josb> local names are written "Builtin"^^rif:local

<josb> so, it's not forbidden and not ambiguous

Lists

AOB

<sandro> Frozen version of FLD: http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/draft/ED-rif-fld-20080212/
