RE: [Admin] Agenda for RIF telecon 14 October

Hello,

I plan not to join the first part, I think that I won't contribute so
much.
On the other hand, I'm very interested in the "Frame vs. objects
discussion". So I thought about joining the telecon for this topic,
let's say at 17:45, is this time fine? Thanks.

Changhai

PROPOSED: Approve some test cases (to be determined during the telecon)

7. Frames (in BLD/FLD) VS objects (in PRD) [11] [12] (30 mn)

- Gary raised [11] the issue of the difference in te semantics of
frames, as adopted in BLD and FLD, and the semantics of objects, as used
in many PR systems (essentially: properties in frames are multi-valued
and attributes in objects are single-valued). There have been
suggestions, recently (e.g. [12]) that the cost of using frames to
represent objects in PRD might overweight the benefits, which is a clear
threat to the unity of RIF and the interoperability between different
branches.

- The objectives of the discussion are to clarify, in particular:
 * what is the actual impact of that difference?
 * to what degree PRD and BLD/FLD can use different semantics, and the
interoperability still be preserved (by some kind of semantic or
syntactic trick)?
 * if not, what would be the impact of changing the semantics of frames
in BLD/FLD to an object-like one (regardless of the impact on LC)?

- Next meeting: 21 October 2008 (pick scribe!)
