Great that we agree, but I actually meant something else by 'partial
RDFness' here. In the CSVW WG we called it also "half-hearted RDF-ness"
once or twice.
The point: this isn't just about letting RDF people have a triples/graphs
reading of some useful instance data. It is about W3C's REC-track claims
that being RDF data wholeheartedly rather than coincidentally, includes
constraints on the how the truth of the whole (graph/description) relates
to the truth of its constituent claims.
In situations where the data is fully RDF, and for simplicity let's assume
well known stable URIs everywhere in the graph, then if the graph consists
of n triples t-1, t-2, t-3, ..., t-n., ... then if I claim the description
is an accurate description, I am standing equally behind each triple
independently. This brings with it the assurance that additional triples
e.g. t-23236, can't qualify or undermine the others. If I assert G
describes the world accurately, I am saying "t-1 and t-2 and t-3 and
t-4 ... t-n" describe the world accurately.
If t-23236 says (of whatever entity / URI) "trueUntil": "Thursday", ...
"foo": "bar", or "pa12bg12f1g12c2": "FALSE", ... their ability to pollute
the rest of the graph or make it unclear whether an asserter of the graph
has really asserted t-1, t-2, t-3, ...
RDF comes with other baggage/features too. It isn't a part of RDF for
schema authors to be able to say "if you don't write consent=false, then
consent=true is implied". Parties who create arbitrary JSON specs, or
manage SQL database schemas, may sometimes do this kind of thing.
Many non-RDF formats don't work this way. CSV doesn't work this way. JSON
doesn't work this way. XML doesn't work this way. RDF has a distinctively
atomized sense of meaning, breaking complex claims down to triples.
Sometimes this works well, sometimes (cf. the OWL design) even semantic web
folks find it annoying and obtuse.
There are W3C languages like the (largely failed) GRDDL work, which map
from non-RDF XML formats into RDF graphs. The creators of the pre-RDF
instance data couldn't be accused of even knowing what RDF is, never mind
being commited to its semantics. There are others like Turtle that are more
obviously fully on board the RDF train.
The drafting around this WG seems to lean towards JSON-LD, where there is
some perceived ambivalence towards aspects of RDF (hi Manu!:)
Citing again http://manu.sporny.org/2014/json-ld-origins-2/
"Kick RDF in the Nuts RDF is a shitty data model."
"I personally wanted JSON-LD to be compatible with RDF, but that’s about
it. You could convert JSON-LD to and from RDF and get something useful, but
JSON-LD had a more sane data model where lists were a first-class
construct, you had generalized graphs, and you could use JSON-LD using a
simple library and standard JSON tooling. "
This is a legitimate point of view. JSON-LD is defined by its W3C
specifications and to some extent by the pragmatics of how it is actually
used, rather than the aggregate of the opinions of its creators and spec
editors. But it shines a light on whether this WG is on board with what W3C
claims RDF data structures mean, when considered to be sets of statements
about the world.
Another example that crosses back into Phil's point here, is around unique
identification in the face of bnodes using reference-by-description
constructions. OWL provides a notion of inverse functional property, so
that you can use property values as indirect identifiers. If the instance
data is understood to be OWL written in RDF written in JSON-LD, readers of
the claims could read some data as "*the* x whose foo is bar", e.g. '*the*
Language whose bcp47 code is "he".' The RDF layer doesn't provide the
reading of this as saying '*the*'; viewed purely as RDF triples it'd be
more like saying "*a* Language whose bcp47 code is "he". And to Phil's
point below, even the claim that the bcp47 property is
owl:InverseFunctional would depend on actually having access to the
(possibly evolving) remote schema. Not to mention knowing or caring what
the associated OWL bits of it mean.
My point here isn't that W3C's problem is not just getting RDF-skeptics to
approve or tolerate the group, but that even if you're on board with RDF,
it's a slippery slope (or a majestic ascent) to things like OWL, which
bring more expressivity to things which ultimately might be written in
triples that are encoded in JSON and signed via bnode labelling.
Saying "it's RDF" and "it's signed" --- what does that mean in practice
about the stuff being signed? Presumably something more than "it could be
loaded into an RDF database". But what exactly? Is the atomicity of RDF
graphs being a bunch of AND-ed independent statements part of the picture,
but OWL not? (unless a bunch of OWL folks join the WG?). Or is the RDF-ness
of the group purely "you could convert to and from RDF and get something
useful"?

https://web.archive.org/web/20160718151441/https://www.gs1.org/voc/allergenStatement
confirms it hasn't been changed yet. Not clear what "local rules and
regulations" means, but it has always been so afaik.

Earlier in this thread I asked what the impact might be on schema
maintainers - and you can imagine my check via archive.org becoming more
institutionalized through our community practices - e.g. facilitated at
projects like LOV, or W3C or Internet Archive. But I won't go on about this
as my original point was the one above about rdf-ness, not about the
external dependencies aspect of signature semantics.
The issue isn't the naming of the WG, it's the expectations that can come
with saying "this is RDF", and doing that before people start jumping on
(post-pandemic) planes to fly around to WG meetings to discover their
colleagues in the WG have radically different expectations...
