RDFa WG charter status
Manu: How is the process going?
Ivan: Formally, charter is under review
... Waiting to hear back on comments.
... It is based on those reviews that the RDFa WG is formed or not
... I think things are going well
... Want to get official vote request by the end of next week... but
it's up to the reviewers to get back to us.
... The charter starts the group on Feb 1st 2010
Manu: Should we meet in Jan?
Ivan: No reason why we shouldn't meet informally.
Shane: Actually, XHTML2 continues until we close the work we're
doing.
Ivan: So, we can meet formally in January.
@vocab discussion
Manu: What are thoughts on moving forward on this?
... Do we want to ask for proposals now?
Mark: Interesting that Toby and Ivan are implementing this stuff
straight away.
... Toby implemented a way of not requiring a colon
... That's good, but also comes with downside of solidifying ideas
that we may not be the direction we want to go.
... The whole @profile issue is still there.
... Maybe we can do content negotiation?
... Maybe the thing at the end of the URI could be anything? like
have an RDFa document or JSON?
... We may want to see if we're happy with the general idea of
prefix-less CURIE
... Then I think the second step is how to give somebody a list of
how to define these tokens externally.
Ivan: So, just to clarify - next/prev/stylesheet would all be
considered "tokens"
... So, what we are trying to find is how to define those reserved
words.
... XHTML is the only one that has these reserved words, SVG
doesn't?
Manu: Not sure that's true
Steven: Yes, not clear in the SVG Tiny 1.2 spec.
Manu: We might want to just do some spec text, then?
Mark: Might be good to discuss some other points first?
... So, we got to a certain point with the discussion with Ben -
whether you regard a reserved word as a relative URI or a token
... Both will work, if there is no token defined - it's a relative
URI, if a token is defined, we use that.
<Steven> I think the fact that we have relative URIs and keywords in
the same position makes it harder to find a solution
Mark: With this recent change to allow URIs everywhere, we've got a
few more options.
Manu: I'm concerned about intermediate formats.
... What happens when you have vocab="[17]http://example.org/terms"
property="foo" and you can't resolve "[18]http://example.org/terms"
?
[17] http://example.org/terms
[18] http://example.org/terms
Mark: Well, you generate a triple with
"[19]http://example.org/terms#foo" and perhaps resolve that in the
future.
... Well, Ben mentioned that "foo" would be placed in the default
namespace... which we didn't really want.
[19] http://example.org/terms#foo
Ivan: my problem is a bit more fundamental than that.
... I'm not fully convinced that we need to go down that route...
... none of these solutions seem to be simple (for an implementer) -
still not convinced that we need to do that.
... When we go to other dialects of SVG - I don't see what the
problem we're trying to solve for those other languages are...
Mark: The problem is about trying to get Microformats-style
simplicity for markup.
Manu: Yes
Mark: It could potentially give RDFa the ability to do everything
good that Microformats does in a way that is rigorous.
... The good things about Microformats is that it's easy to
understand. Quick to get something up and going.
... The second thing that is related is that you get people like
Google that have one uber-vocabulary.
... It's the ability to just stick a @profile at the top of the
document rather than 12 namespaces, is useful for authors.
Steven: i am definitely a big fan of simplicity of authoring.
... There are good proposals for automatic namespaces by Liam et. al
Ivan: I agree with Steven on the point that @tokens become less
important when we have a mechanism for defining prefixes/tokens.
... If we have that, then I think we can forget about this @token
issue, except for the XHTML tokens, which are included.
Mark: If there is a URI mapping defined, then using it in an
attribute that can take a CURIE, even without a colon, is
sufficient.
Ivan: if we have a token/keyword without a colon, what do we do with
it.
Mark: So, let me give an example...
<markbirbeck> @xmlns:dc="[20]http://xyz"
[20] http://xyz/
<markbirbeck> dc:creator
<markbirbeck> dc:
<markbirbeck> @xmlns:creator="[21]http://xyz#creator"
[21] http://xyz/#creator
<markbirbeck> creator:
<markbirbeck> property="creator"
Mark: We can still argue that you don't need @tokens or you do - but
this is a very tiny change.
Ivan: So, I could create a ton of xmlns:xyz for all DC terms.
... This make sense only if there is a way to specify those xmlns
elsewhere.
<markbirbeck> <html
<markbirbeck> xmlns:Agent="[22]http://purl.org/dc/terms/Agent"
[22] http://purl.org/dc/terms/Agent
<markbirbeck> xmlns:Person="[23]http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person"
[23] http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person
<markbirbeck> xmlns:title="[24]http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/title"
[24] http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/title
<markbirbeck> xmlns:fn="[25]http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name"
[25] http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name
<markbirbeck> >
<markbirbeck> <div
<markbirbeck> about="[26]http://www.ivan-herman.net/me"
[26] http://www.ivan-herman.net/me
<markbirbeck> typeof="Person Agent"
<markbirbeck> >
<markbirbeck> <h1>
<markbirbeck> <span property="title">Dr</span>
<markbirbeck> <span property="fn">Ivan Herman</span>
<markbirbeck> </h1>
<markbirbeck> </div>
<markbirbeck> </html>
Mark: if we go for this small change, it still doesn't matter how we
get those URI mappings.
<Zakim> ShaneM, you wanted to speak for being able to define new
reserved words
Shane: I don't have a problem with this @token proposal.
... Without having an external mechanism, it's not terribly useful.
... In todays spec, we have these things called "reserved words"
... Those only work for @rel/@rev
... That's fine.
... So, we're extending these to all CURIE-aware attributes?
Mark: Not necessarily - we have this new mechanism for @property for
resolving reserved words/CURIEs.
Shane: So, putting on my DAISY hat, they want to be able to define
reserved words.
... We still need to be able to have a way to change the default
collection of reserved words.
Manu: We still don't have a solution for defining extended reserved
words.
<ShaneM> aside: what if I have multiple profile references and there
are collisions after taking the union of the prefix mappings? Last
takes precedence?
Ivan: Let's say we have a @profile - we could pull @tokens in from
an external document.
Mark: yes, agree with Ivan
... With this minor change, it helps us solve the other
Microformats-like-markup problem.
<ShaneM> I want a "prefix import mechanism" not a "namespace import
mechanism"
<Zakim> ShaneM, you wanted to say that I dont want to rely on these
external namespace proposals. we are too tied to namespaces already!

<p xmlns:xml="[31]http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
property="xml:test">Test</p>
[31] http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace
Manu: Thoughts?
Shane: keep it on hold.
Ivan: Maybe we could disallow it in the spec?
Mark: It's an edge case that we don't refer to.
Manu: So, we'll keep it on hold and I'll contact LibXML developers
to fix the library, once it is fixed, we will approve the test case.
<scribe> ACTION: Manu to get in touch with LibXML developers about
TC 142. [recorded in
[32]http://www.w3.org/2009/12/03-rdfa-minutes.html#action09]
<span xmlns:test="[33]http://example.org/error/"
property="testŀ:test">Test</span>
[33] http://example.org/error/
Ivan: So I can only have ASCII characters there?
Shane: Yes.
Manu: Ok, so this is an invalid XHTML test, but we will be
revisiting this issue for HTML4 and HTML5.
