SKOS

   Ralph: I pinged the chair of I18N yesterday
   ... no response yet
   ... but Richard Ishida did ask if we were going to reply to [17]his
   2-Feb message
   ... Felix Sasaki followed that up in [18]public-swd-wg/2009Feb/0011

     [17] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2009Feb/0010.html
     [18] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2009Feb/0011.html

   Guus: we won't be able to solve all the problems of concepts in
   different languages

   Alistair: when I read Felix's response he seemed to be explaining
   the theories of thesaurii in various languages
   ... so there didn't really seem to be an issue; just a dialog

   Guus: perhaps making that statement would be an appropriate followup
   from us

   ACTION: Alistair look at Richard Ishida and Felix Sasaki's messages
   in
   [19]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swd-wg/2009Feb/thread

     [22] http://www.w3.org/2009/02/10-swd-minutes.html#action03

   Alistair: I believe I've done this and thought I'd sent mail
   ... will find that mail

   -> "[23]Re: ISSUE-190: Last Call Comment: Unicity of prefLabel
   (comment in SKOS RDF)" [Alistair 2009-02-10]

   Antoine: action should have read "raise and open"

   Ralph: yep

   -> "[25]Re: [SKOS] Re: TR : W3C SKOS Reference Last Call (3 days

SKOS Primer

   Antoine: there might still be updates to the Primer

   <Antoine> [26]public-esw-thes/2009Feb/0069

     [26] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-esw-thes/2009Feb/0069.html

   Antoine: Pat Hayes read the Primer and commented on a misleading
   sentence
   ... I [27]proposed one rewrite, and Alistair proposed a different
   one
   ... then I received mail from Pat accepting my rewrite

     [27] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-esw-thes/2009Feb/0069.html

   Alistair: go ahead with your version

   ACTION: Antoine provide a pointer to the new Primer Editor's Draft

   of my text isn't on a record

   Guus: just include Pat's reply in your mail

Implementation Report

   Sean: [29]start of implementation report
   ... best thing is to keep it simple

     [29] http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/573036/SWD/implementation.html

   ACTION: [DONE] Sean to report on SKOSED for SKOS implementation
   report [recorded in
   [30]http://www.w3.org/2009/01/06-swd-minutes.html#action10]

     [30] http://www.w3.org/2009/01/06-swd-minutes.html#action10

   Guus: I think it's OK to close Sean's action given the draft
   ... [31]dl.getdropbox.com/u/573036/SWD/implementation is the kind of
   implement I was hoping for

     [31] http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/573036/SWD/implementation.html

   Sean: it's hard to pin down some things
   ... so it's necessarily somewhat informal

   <seanb> From the OED: wooly: " 6. transf. and fig. Lacking in
   definiteness or incisiveness; ‘muzzy’; (of the mind, etc.) confused
   and hazy; (of painting, etc.) lacking in clearness or definition;
   (of sound, etc.) dull and indistinct."

   Ralph: Thanks, Sean :)

   ACTION: Sean move
   [32]http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/573036/SWD/implementation.html to the
   WG Wiki [recorded in

RDFa

   Ben: discussions with the HTML Working Group continue
   ... it's a bit of a roller coaster
   ... Manu Sporny has been a good interface with them
   ... we're exploring the possibility of proposing a new attribute,
   @prefix, as a way of moving forward on CURIE mappings
   ... within the Task Force we're close to consensus on adding
   @prefix, (name not cast in concrete)
   ... would do the same thing as @xmlns

   Guus: I'd be in favor of this

   Ben: the reason for a new attribute is ...
   ... some parsers will do the right thing with @xmlns accumulating
   all the prefixes declared up to each point in the document
   ... other parsers might not do this; it depends on how the DOM tree
   might be fixed-up
   ... so it's inconsistent whether one can get at all the @xmlns data
   with every DOM implementaton
   ... I've demonstrated working code for every modern browser but it's
   admittedly a bit messy
   ... sometimes need to use DOM level 1 calls
   ... all this is much cleaner if we use some other attribute than
   @xmlns
   ... the Task Force hopes to converge very quickly
   ... thought of perhaps issuing a Note on what we think ought to be
   done
   ... but very recently there's some feedback suggesting we propose to
   revise the RDFa Recommendatoin

   Ralph: might be able to do this as a Proposed Edited Recommendation
   ... I'll have to remind myself what review is required for that

   Ben: we're getting very positive feedback on @prefix unofficially
   from implementors

   Guus: if there's any chance of doing this, I'm very much in favor of
   it

   Ralph: even if it means extending the Working Group by 1-4 weeks?

   Guus: certainly

   Ralph: I believe calling the community review of @prefix a
   "Candidate Rec" would be most consistent with section 7.6.3

   Guus: so 2 week CR followed by a 4 week Proposed [Edited] Rec review
   by the AC?

   Ben: so it's critical that there are no new features?

   Ralph: yes

   Tom: could it be argued that this is a new feature?

   Ben: it's new syntax for something we already do

   Guus: should the WG meet next week to discuss this?

   Ben: the Task Force should have a complete proposal in place with a
   diff to the current document

   Guus: is the XHTML2 Working Group agreeing with this proposal?

   Ralph: that's my sense, yes

   Guus: so I'll plan to have a proposal for a Proposed Edited
   Recommendation on 10 March

   Ralph: let's call the WG and public review "candidate review for a
   Proposed Edited Recommendation"
   ... I'll run that terminology past a couple of others here

   ACTION: [PENDING] Ben review RDFa Use Cases and propose transition
   to Group Note [recorded in
