Thanks to everyone who came along. I think the main item of interest was a last minute addition (5) below - a motivating example from Dan Brickley which resulted in icalendar and RDF versions that can be used as a testcase. This is a very intersting way of getting testcases, and I'd encourage people to send more to this list. cheers Libby raw logs http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfig/2003-03-12.html#T17-01-25 weblog http://rdfig.xmlhack.com/2003/03/12/2003-03-12.html next meeting: 26th March, 2003 at 17:00 UTC http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=26&month=3&year=2003&hour=17&min=0&sec=0&p1=0 on irc.freenode.net #rdfig Summary of agenda items (Agenda - see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-calendar/2003Mar/0009.html) 1: GPL'ed code under http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/ http://rdfig.xmlhack.com/2003/03/12/2003-03-12.html#1047488206.102209 RESOLVED: "For now, do not check in GPL code. Establishing a GPL-friendly repository or part of one remains on the agenda" This was because we didn't want people to get confused about the license of any tests. [[ 17:55:18 <libby>very important that they don;t get confused and think the tests are gpled... ]] also: the code we were refering to is at a stable url (http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/discovery/2003/02/cal/), is linked from the main page (http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/). 2: How will we know when we're done? ACTION libby summarise this discussion into smethign we can discuss again and maybe agree on in an email log of the discsussion: http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfig/2003-03-12.html#T18-06-33 (I'll send a summary email separately) 3: Test data - where's the best place to get it from? http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfig/2003-03-12.html#T18-22-18 Some ideas for trying to find test data. There is also a list of sample data on http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/ Discussion centred around *motivating examples*: [[ 18:25:41 <danbri>libby, re broader data, I'd like to come up with some scenarios (eg. small business one above) that would motivate folk using RDF cal structures in their FOAF files. 18:25:48 <danbri> Then we can just run a crawler to find the data. ]] - see also (5) below, which worked very well at motivating discussion on the list 4: Going from RDF to iCal (Ryan Lee) http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfig/2003-03-12.html#T17-07-22 A discussion of whether better to use XSLT or CWM for going from RDF to iCalendar, from Ryan Lee who has been working with icalendar files at w3C. This program is smething Dan Connolly did for Evolution, but other fapps don;t like it, so it needs improving. http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/toIcal.py CWM was thought better than XSLT, because the RDF icalendar conversions are currently syntactic, but might not always be, which woudl make XSLT parsing impossible except via an XSLT RDF parser like Max Froumentin's: http://www.w3.org/2001/12/rubyrdf/xsltrdf/ Moving the python code to the new CWM API is one way the work may progress. 5: Danbri talks about recurrence usecase http://rdfig.xmlhack.com/2003/03/12/2003-03-12.html#1047488897.320965 http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfig/2003-03-12.html#T17-30-37 see the usecase at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-calendar/2003Mar/0014.html [[ I would like to use RDF calendar 'recurring events' to represent opening hours of shops and other services. In particular I'm interested in using the Semantic Web to support local small businesses, by mixing descriptions of their opening hours with other useful information: homepage of shop, opening hours, contact info, photograph of premises, lat/lang/alt location information, some indication of product lines and individual items for sale. ]] and the ensuing thread, including icalendar and RDF versions of the usecase.
