Hi Harold, Thanks for your explanation. My point, however, is not from the standpoint of confusing APS and PS; rather, it is from that of the implementers who (like me and others) are desperately trying to get the whole picture. I, for one, would really appreciate if all the syntactic rules (whether PS or APS) were kept in one single document, possibly under different headings and with all the caveats that you have summarized. [BTW, if the current setup is confusing to me, think about what it will look to someone unfamiliar with RIF and its concepts!]. Anyways, my (CDN) $0.02... -hak -- Hassan Aït-Kaci * ILOG, Inc. - Product Division R&D http://koala.ilog.fr/wiki/bin/view/Main/HassanAitKaci -----Original Message----- From: Boley, Harold [mailto:Harold.Boley@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca] Sent: Mon 9/1/2008 3:23 PM To: Hassan Ait-Kaci; Adrian Paschke; public-rif-wg@w3.org Subject: RE: [RIF-Abridge PS] ACTION-569 Hi Hassan, In the 26 Aug telecon we only decided to create a page for the *abridged* syntax. Cf. ACTION: http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/actions/569 * The APS is not normative but just a compact notation, which should become dialect-independent, as needed, e.g., for UCR and the test cases. * The APS is an optional addition only. * The APS evolution can thus follow a different time-line, so should be decoupled from the evolution of the other documents. The PS, on the other hand, is an official part of documents such as BLD (in LC), FLD, and Core. Each of these documents should stay independent from APS. Best, Harold ________________________________ From: public-rif-wg-request@w3.org [mailto:public-rif-wg-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Hassan Ait-Kaci Sent: September 1, 2008 9:13 AM To: Adrian Paschke; public-rif-wg@w3.org Subject: RE: [RIF-Abridge PS] ACTION-569 Hi Adrian, Thanks for creating this page. Why not also include *all* PS syntactic rules and conventions, whether abridged or not, explicitly including all the rules imported from other W3C WG's documents (as used by Axel's EBNF rules for the APS)? It'd be nice not to have to go back and forth between 4 or 5 documents in order to have the whole picture.
