Accept this agenda?
DanC: Is there a list of outstanding actions?

Agenda accepted.
Issue GenericResources-53
<Noah> Comments from Noah:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2006Aug/0117.html[8]
TAG reviews Noah's comments.
Noah: In 2.3.1, "Pointers to alternative content are encoded as link
elements, and the same mechanism is used within RSS/ATOM feeds to
advertize permalinks and other pointers to make them discoverable."
Noah: This seems to assume the reader is familiar with RSS/Atom
TV: That's intended to demonstrate that we're not inventing something new.
<DanC> (defining it in terms of Atom has some appeal; Atom is perhaps the
first standards-track take on "this verion" vs "latest version")
Editorial suggestions for clarity accepted.
Noah: Chapter 3: "When creating a multiplicity of URIs for a given
canonical resource, ensure that the relationship amongst these multiple
URIs is captured in a machine-readable form."
... I don't think you mean "machine readable", you mean "crawl through a
fully linked graph"
TV: Yes
Noah: I didn't propose alternate text, but suggest something along the
lines of "reachable, at least transitively, through links"
... More editorial comments, but we don't need to discuss them
TV: One of the top level concerns we had was that some of the issues of
discoverability hadn't been called out very explicitly. I tried to fix
that. Success?
Noah: I think if you're comfortable, I'm comfortable...
Some discussion of editorial process for publishing dated copies
Dan: It comes through except in the conclusions.
<Zakim> DanC, you wanted to go over the "bumper sticker" conclusions; the
1st one doesn't say anything explicit about alternative/generic stuff
Noah: I thought the conclusions were a bit short, to the point where they
can be read several ways. I think they could be a little more explicit.
DanC: The bumper sticker versions are what I actually use in discussions
elsewhere
<DanC> "each representation of interest should get its own URI"
<DanC> er... rather "each alternative of interest should get its own URI"
Noah: I'd prefer something like "each representation of interest should
get it's own URI and there should be one additional URI representing the
resource generically"
... "And the generic one should normally be used when sending references",
or something like that.
... The other thing is, make sure that they're linked so you can find them
all.
TV: Would a diagram be helpful?
<DanC> +1 a diagram
<Noah> neutral on diagram
DanC: I think a diagram would help.
<DanC> a diagram of the N+1 URIs of one of the scenarios, I suggest
<DanC> (I prefer that the conclusions be revised before the TAG approves
it.)
<DanC> (but I think it's already in the right direction.)
TV: I'll have a revision ready by mid-September.
<scribe> ACTION: TV to produce a new revision of generic-Resources-53 by
15 Sep 2006 [recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2006/08/29-tagmem-minutes.html#action01[9]]
<Noah> +1 to waiting for Dave for Item 3
Issue URNsAndRegistries-50
HT: No progress. Won't have anything ready before 19 Sep 2006.
Vincent: That's ok, I just wanted to make sure we could schedule the
discussion.
DanC: The Semantic Web Life Sciences IG is meeting in Amsterdam, 3-4 Oct
2006
DanC: There are a number of agencies looking to the IG for information.
<DanC> October 3 to 4, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
http://www.w3.org/mid/0C13B2E4-1971-4C80-A960-DD0754EF7D7D@teranode.com[10]
DanC: Looks like the Amsterdam meeting will be substantive but not
decision making.
... I'd like to have a draft ready before that IG meeting.
HT: Noted. I agree.
DO: I don't think I'll get to it before that time frame.
HT: I'll take a look and make a proposal.
DO: Ok
<DanC> (AMS meeting cited from semweb-cg schedule, fyi.
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/CG/#future[11] . RDF and iCalendar versions also
available there.)
XMLVersioning-41
Vincent: I would just like a chance to get a quick update and see where we
are.
DO: Sure. We discussed this about three weeks ago and I promised to have a
draft out a few days ago, which I haven't managed to do. I'm about half
way through the comments.
... In the meantime, a few more comments have arrived.
<DanC> ACTION: DanC to review definitions of partial understanding,
backward compatible, and forward compatible [CONTINUES] (progress report:
21 Aug http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2006Aug/0084.html[12] )
[recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2006/08/29-tagmem-minutes.html#action02[13]]
DO: I'm hoping to have another draft out in a couple of weeks (at the
earliest).
... That's where I'm at right now.
Noah: Are you guessing that you'd incorporate my comments in that draft?
DO: Yes
<Noah> Noah published extensive comments on the Versioning finding last
night at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2006Aug/0111.html[14]
Noah: I don't think I'm entirely happy with all the conceptual
foundations.
<DanC> (I'm thrashing on this issue; I can only find time to get swapped
in and then I get preempted before I make any substantive progress.)
Noah: I've tried to both consider things from the draft perspective as
well as make some notes about how it could be layered differently.
... This is a heads up to anyone I can encourage to look at my note.
Where is the public discussion?
Apparently on public-versioning (as opposed to www-tag)
<DanC> (the question of which list didn't come to a clear conclusion to
me.)
Noah: I don't think we have a crystalized group consensus on versioning.
... For example, I think it would be good to separate constraints from the
definition of a language.
TV: This finding is also trying to do *a lot* which is also possibly
making it slow going.
Noah: I see it as what information is conveyed, can the receiver use it,
is it what the sender meant.
<DanC> (I agree that versioning is a huge issue; I don't see an obvious
way to split it up, though.)
<Norm> (I'm in the same camp as DanC on dividing it up)
<DanC> (brief visit from Schleiff, Marty <marty.schleiff@boeing.com> )
<DanC> (oh yeah... we need to get DI review before we approve the
genericResource finding.)
<scribe> ACTION: Vincent to contact DI group in the next few days
[recorded in
http://www.w3.org/2006/08/29-tagmem-minutes.html#action03[15]]
Noah: I'm starting to try to think about these terms in
application-indepenendent ways. There's a layer there. Then there are
layers above that.
<DanC> (that's exactly what comes up in the definition of backward/forward
compatible, I think.)
Noah: There's a question about, for example, is "you'll display it in my
web browser" good enough?
Vincent: Anything else on XML versioning?
Any other business
Nothing suggested.
DanC: Not for today, but, there are a number of places where one group is
saying "that belongs to us" (when another group is doing it a different
way).
... c.f., SVG 1.2 became a CR over objection from HTML about line breaking
strategy.
... I'm hoping the TAG gets to look into that kind of stuff.
Vincent: I'll put it on my list of issues to be addressed "soon"
Adjourned.
