3. Self Describing Web

   <masinter> URL of draft finding? I'm looking at issue but don't see
   draft

   Noah: Introduces SDW

     [16] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/selfDescribingDocuments-2009-01-14.html

   <DanC> yes, 51.

     [17] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/selfDescribingDocuments.html

   <DanC> the tracker's not very good at answering "where's the current
   draft on this issue?" unfortunately, Larry

   Noah: Discussion abt use of 'Semantic Web' in SDW

   <jar>
   [18]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2008Dec/0089.html

     [18] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2008Dec/0089.html

   Stuart: I am supportive of Jar's comments
   ... I support the spirit of the change.

   <DanC> (did I hear correctly... roughly 3 for "make the change" 4
   for "no, let's not")

   <DanC> (the 4 includes noah, I think)

   <DanC> (3 = jar, ht, skw; 4 = dan, noah, ?, ?)

   <DanC> (3 = jar, ht, skw; 4 = dan, noah, tim, ?)

   Stuart: If we go with that it leaves us with the status quo

   <DanC> (3 = jar, ht, skw; 4 = dan, noah, tim, daveo)

   Ashok: I also supported the status quo

   <DanC> (I find
   [19]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2009Jan/0034.html )

     [19] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2009Jan/0034.html

   <DanC> -1 "add a link to the W3C Semantic Web activity statement"

   <DanC> I concur that the "The goal of the Semantic Web initiative is
   as broad as that of the Web" suffices as a definition

   Stuart: Suggest we ask Jonathan and Noah to work together and handle
   this editorially
   ... Would anyone object to saying Action 207 is done and results in
   no change to the document

   No objection

   <noah> [20]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/211

     [20] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/211

   Action 211 on Dan

   <trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - 211

   <Stuart> close action-207

   <trackbot> ACTION-207 Try to wordsmith to get rid of 'Semantic Web'
   and submit for review closed

   DanC: Larry, what's current thinking on x-tokens

   <DanC> case in point x-www-urlencoded

   <DanC> yes, that's how x- tokens have been used

   Larry: goal was to lower the bar for registration ... did not work
   out very well

   Dan: I will collaborate with Larry on this

   <masinter> sorry, RFC 4288 section 3.4
   [21]http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4288.txt

     [21] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4288.txt

   Dan: I will find IETF position on x-tokens

   <noah>

   4.html#standards

     [22] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/selfDescribingDocuments-2009-01-14.html#standards

   Dan: On squatting, my poster child case is when Google introduced
   .... and there was a standard the next day ... rel="nofollow"

   <DanC> action-211 due 19 Jan 2009

   Dan: I would like that in the draft but not sure abt timing

   Noah: I wd like to invite the TAG to review the document and see if
   their concerns are addressed

   <DanC> I think it s

   nding 6 Accountability and Grounding Information in the Web

     [23] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/selfDescribingDocuments.html#grounding

   Noah: This is section 6
   ... I think the issue re. 'libel' are addressed by my rewording

   <DanC> (is a diff-marked copy already done? don't bother to make one
   if not, but there is one, I'd like to look at it)

   <masinter> IMHO, I think TAG findings shouldn't make claims about
   legal standing without review by W3C Legal

   <DanC> ann
   [24]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jan/0040.html

     [24] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jan/0040.html

   <DanC> ah...
   [25]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jan/0013.html

     [25] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jan/0013.html

   Noah: Explains it's a story not a legal statement

   jar: Can we use something less controversial, like Sen. Smith has
   put his house for sale

   Noah: This may raise other issues

   jar: How abt 'might be useful' instead of 'can be really useful'

   Noah: Is it broken or can we make it better.

   <masinter> Personally, I doubt that the specifications of the Web
   have any relevance or utility at all in proving anything in court

   jar: It still seems a bit like making a legal statement

   <masinter> just IMHO

   <DanC> +1 s/very// (on general strunk-and-white grounds)
   ...jar: 'might be useful'

   <masinter> Some people may think that it might possibly be useful in
   some situations

   Larry: Doubt that legal claims can be made on web content

   <DanC> (was Larry's point about web content or web standards?)

   <masinter> My point was about scope of TAG covering giving legal
   advice or suggestion

   <DanC> close action-208

   <trackbot> ACTION-208 Work on "attribution of libel" concern with
   Stuart closed

   Noah: Suggest 208 as resolved ... remove the word 'very'

   <DanC> (can you just commit it without announcing it?)

   Larry: Even if you remove 'very' it makes me uncomforatble. You use
   the word 'prove'. Perhaps 'signify' or 'indicate'.

   <jar> +1 proving -> establishing

   Noah: Remove 'prove' with 'establish' ?

   <DanC> to wit

     [26] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jan/0013.html

   Noah: I sent a draft a week ago. Did I miss anything?

   Dan: I need to check Tim's concerns

   <DanC> (I'm looking for 3-word technical capsules of tim's concerns)

   Noah: Tim made some handwritten comments. I took a picture and I
   have acted on all I could.

   <masinter> (brb)

   <DanC> [27]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2008/12/11-minutes.html#item02

     [27] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2008/12/11-minutes.html#item02

   <DanC> "<hst> Client Technology package story for machines parallel
   to Spec chain story for humans"

   Noah: I adopted text from Tim pretty much as is.

   himself in reply to NM's msg of ... ~8 Jan )

   Stuart: I will ask Henry to review

   and 5.2 of Self-describing Web closed

   Noah: states the changes

   Stuart: Can we put the question contingent on the changes. Or ask
   someone to do a final review

   Dan: How about doing by email

   Stuart: I will make clear we will put question next week. People who
   have given regrets shd respond by mail.
