Topic: applicability and risk assessment of SW practices to the semantic modeling a,k.a. taxonomy a.k.a. ontology component of the Roadmap that PF is pursuing.

problem: how to link with 'standard' concepts not published as RDF

help using SKOS

other stable vocabularies that we might use?

Example Possible Sequence

Centering the topic (25% of time)

PF background

Roadmap

scripted widgets bound to platform accessibility APIs
[platform ::= Java | OS, mostly]
reference to Firefox pages and PF archives for Roadmap doc.
page structure and navigation
syntax tree contains too much noise to succeed with just markup semantics
metadata tailors and repairs syntax tree so there is reliable extraction of an abstract graph fit for [a variety of forms of] intrapage navigation
 user agents including AT provide "different strokes for different folks" climate of navigation functions over the captured common model of page structure.
author tools coach authors in bringing navigable abstraction of syntax up to snuff.
more general metadata applications
knowledge augmentation that is assistive for those with reading-impairing conditions

query word, get dictionary entry

flag figurative use

Terms of Art

various drivers of reading difficulty (c.f. S/W complexity metrics)

 [what is there in the IMS taxonomy that addresses this domain?]

applications in the DI framework (device characterization, user factors, content factors)

role of taxonomies in Roadmap and accessibility

metadata in Web documents
knowledge in pertinent dictionaries/thesauri
wide use of stable core
recognize terms by syntactic pattern
apply semantics by out-of-band reading stable spec
emerging use of SW potential
processors that dereference and process dictionary/thesaurus backups
transitive dereference until what you need to know is reduced to trusted terms
[computed equivalence of terms?]
[SW BP alternate/amendment for this high-end processing model welcome]

perceived challenges

multi-level stability
the terms that offer a convergence target for "platform" APIs must exhibit lots of stability for the platform APIs not to break away from rendezvous process.
failthful (normative) import of concepts not published in RDF or by URI.
assertions about classes defined by intension (queries and selectors)

SW BP background (how does this conversation fit in your world in seven-league steps)

general area of work

what modules of practice are stabilizing already/soon (i.e. topics in order of calendar prospects)

where they see their work or other prior art applicable to our problems.

q+a by queue: fill in and confirm we heard each other.

Brass tacks  - specific examples with low-risk approaches (up to 50% of time)

preferred - SW BP delegates discuss examples drawn from PF shopping list

second choice - PF nominates concrete examples for discussion

compare/contrast use of skos:definition vs. skos:broader for import of and derivation from terms in stable use but not in RDF publications.

best practice for [SKOS?] upgrade to W3C spec style re RFC-2119 terms?

More general issues and advice (as time permits)

[q+a by queue]

emulating logic and rule languages in SW notations; or embedding (XPath).

application of SKOS to syntax terms?
