Re: Minutes, Boston f2f meeting 25 - 26 Jan

Hi Phil, all,

FYI, note that the second link [2] is incorrect, it should read:
[2] http://www.w3.org/2007/01/26-wcl-minutes.html

Anyway, as to the discussion on using FOAF, we've had a similar debate 
in ERT WG. We had decided that foaf:Person was widely deployed and could 
therefore be regarded as mature. It is also marked as "stable" by the 
FOAF spec [3]. Other terms such as foaf:Organization and foaf:Agent may 
not have the same amount of deployment and are marked as "unstable" by 
the FOAF spec [3]. There is therefore no direct dependency on the latter 
two terms by EARL (we do however encourage their use).

Since EARL is on Rec-track, it may indeed become an issue that FOAF is a 
less formal spec. We have asked the FOAF folks (Danbri and Libby) to 
"freeze" a version of FOAF at a given URI (such as the W3C date-space 
URIs) and publish a persistency policy for it. I am not aware that this 
has yet happened.
