For today's agenda I plan on discussing http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Aug/0080.html Patrick has raised a very fair question regarding the process associated with this being introduced [1]. Since I'm still very much under the weather and the telecon is looming, i'll cut and paste responses from others that reflect my position on this. [[ At W3C, WG consensus is not a matter of opinion; it's a matter of record. We have reached consensus iff it's recorded that we did (and the record has been reviewed, etc). And keep in mind that meeting records are somewhat ephemeral. The fat lady has not sung until we've published a WD, gotten community feedback, considered it, and decided we're happy. This WG has not gotten any where near there for datatypes. ]] -- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Aug/0070.html The proposal from Guha, Sergey, Pat and Mike (I believe) is reflective of additional previously mentioned work by Patrick, Brian, Jang, DanC and others and I think is worth considering. Further, I think Graham provided an excellent job summarizing how we got here and relates this to what we have agreed to - [[ And I think the "stake in the ground" still remains: I think nothing we're trying to do now is inconsistent with the stake-in-ground principles, but we are trying to do less so the full reach of that stake may not be needed. ]] -- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Aug/0085.html One issue thats come up however wrt this proposal (that I would like to offer a temporary stop-gap solution for todays call) is the use of xsi:type for associating datatypes. Its clear we don't want to use something in a way in which it wasn't intended. I've asked the xml-cg about the range of xsi:type. For today's discussion I think we should assume that range of xsi:type is open and permits any datatype. When I receive confirmation regarding this assumption, I will report back to the group. -- eric miller http://www.w3.org/people/em/ semantic web activity lead http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ w3c world wide web consortium http://www.w3.org/ [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Aug/0052.html
