draft Minutes 18 Mar

Scribe notes:
1) I have been relatively informal through-out, using first names
except for roll call.  If anyone would rather be minuted with
any other name e.g. "Prof. James Hendler" please let me know
and I will send out amended minutes. Also, unless people complain
my case behaviour with names is random.

2) Each ACTION appears twice, once in the summary, and once
in the detail - I had a strong objection to this in WebOnt,
so used a different format for that group. Personally I prefer it
this way, but again if anyone doesn't like it, I will make
appropriate amendments.

3) I don't know Ivan's sirname.

4) Did Bijan attend the RDF/XHTML part, or was he only on IRC?

5) Mark is the correct XML.com link
(Simon St. Laurent review of Mar. 10)?

3  TASK FORCES


3.1 Task force list (taken after 3.1(a))

Guus presented:
[[
Proposal to create and maintain a WG task-force list, in a similar
spirit as a regylar issue list. To discuss:
- format task-foce description
- list maintenance / editor
- process similar to issue process: proposed, "opned" (i.e. strated),
   proposal to close (e.g. WG noet), close/postponed
]]

The TF list contains the mission and expected results of each TF,
and the TF membership while the TF is live.
Ralph volunteered to edit this list.
Brian asked for discussion of his e-mail concerning issues
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swbp-wg/2004JanMar/0082
(chair did not allow time)

3.2 Discussion on selected task forces


(a) World-view note - explain diff owl, rdf, xml etc.

JimH: two themes WorldView about SemWeb (e.g. rdf vs owl)
or               WorldView about Web vs SemWeb (e.g. xml vs rdf)
This could be one document or two.
So far, Deb and Brian are in the TF with Jim (lead)
Possibles: Pat Hayes, Frank van Harmaleen
David Norheim is interested.

  ACTION: JimH write description of WorldView TF

(b) Demos and applications
No coordinator, no TF ...
There remained interest but no one willing to coordinate this TF.


(c) Porting thesaurii to the Web
DanBri reported "Not much to report ..."
ACTION: danbri get rdf-thes contacts from Guus



(d) Ontology Patterns and Engineering
(ChrisW, DebM)
Chris felt it was a waste of WG time to discuss acronym.
Tf may meet independently on that.
E-mail should go through the WG list.

Chris asked how to work (ie html, wiki ...)
  The W3C encourages use of CVS, WG members can get
CVS write access to pages held on www.w3.org.
  Can also send msgs to www-archive@w3.org and w3c-archive@w3.org
for documenting archiving.
  There is a Wiki we can use: http://esw.w3.org/topic/
  DanC pointed out that using a Wiki is encouraging other people
to write, which may be inapprorpriate for a TF


(e) WordNet ontology conversion support
(AldoG)
FOllowing people expressed interest
 { Alberto Reggiori, Libby }
Aldo gave an update, which the scribe failed to summarized.
Aldo gave an update again after the XHTML TF agendum: the
scribe remained confused - here are some notes:
  The TF will review previous work and contact people
  who have done ports. e.g. Steffan Decker. It will
  contact someone in Switzerland, and someone in
  Princeton. There was discussion about the commercial
  terms of Euro Wordnet.

ACTION: aldo e-mail WordNet update to mailing list
   (e.g. a clearer version of the scribe's muddle)
ACTION: aldo describe Wordnet TF



(f) Link to TopicMaps
(Bernard proposed sending, seconded by Jeremy)
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swbp-wg/2004JanMar/0081

ACTION: guus read bernard's e-mail with draft TMAP msg
ACTION: guus to finalize TMAP e-mail, notify cg, and send out msg
RESOLVED: contact Topic Maps as in bernard's e-mail


3.3 RDF-XHTML task force (20 min)
(current lead DanC:
"I'm willing to lead, but would be happier
for somebody else to lead")

Mark Birbeck and Dan Connolly joined for this section.

Jeremy has sent a review of Mark's work:
Jeremy: I like it. I raised a number of technical details.
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf/2004Mar/0004

The XHTML WG are commited.

Mark mentioned an XML.com review:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/4553
This review did not understand motivations, problems, or constraints.

DanC suggested the GRDDL background doc as perhaps useful
for Mark in explaining these issues.

DanC asked who are the customers: Dublin Core, AKT, Foaf
Nick: AKT has had to solve this problem;
      we want a single solution.

ACTION: danC to send mail requesting feedback on RDF/XHTML & GRDDL to both
lists.
