As I won't be there, can I request that a reference to this message be entered into the IRC log of the meeting, for the record? >11: Postpone syntax issues >The aim here is to quickly resolve those issues for which there is clear >concensus. If extended discussion is needed, we will postpone the decision. > >Propose the WG RESOLVE that the following issues be postponed for >consideration by a future WG > >See: > http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-quoting OK > >http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-qnames-cant-represent-all-uris OK > http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-replace-value [I missed this when it was raised] I like this proposal, as it makes much more intuitive sense to me, and leverages existing developer understanding of toString() in existing programming languages. Assuming it's consistent with any decisions about datatyping, I think there would be value to our current charter in adopting this. To deal with backward compatibility, I'd suggest that rdf:value be retained as a "deprecated" form, equivalent to rdf:toString, which becomes the preferred form. Thus, my vote is AGAINST deciding to defer this issue to a new WG at this time. I think the proposal should be accepted or rejected by this WG. > http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-qname-uri-mapping I think deferring this issue would effectively be equivalent to accepting and fixing the status quo; i.e. URI formation by concatenation. I think this is a decision that this WG should face, not defer. > http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-qnames-as-attrib-values OK > http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-syntax-incomplete OK. (I think it's fine that the syntax cannot represent any graph; if such a syntax is required, I think it's clearly an issue for a future WG.) #g ------------------------------------------------------------ Graham Klyne MIMEsweeper Group Strategic Research <http://www.mimesweeper.com> <Graham.Klyne@MIMEsweeper.com> ------------------------------------------------------------
