Issue 36 site (meta) data

jar: I've looked at sitemeta and have a few comments

<Stuart> http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-site-meta-00

<jrees> Eran's note: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hammer-discovery-00

zakim next agendum

jar: discovery has 3 components: header, link header, link
... it's out of scope what the descriptor is
... the rationale section was good and well justified.

<DanC> (I find "Appendix A.2. Analysis")

jar: small comments, like resource discovery -> resource descriptor
... what if you get different metadata through different methods.

<Stuart>
http://www.w3.org/mid/760bcb2a0901220846s28848a89pf8851ba3408bbb8f@mail.gmail.com

jar: says you must produce the same description and location.

<DanC> (jar's comments, or at least some of them:

jar: a large class of additional languages might want an html link equiv

tbl: presumably you could put the html:link in another language.

jar: I agree

johnkemp: you can use any link header as long as it uses the link
... page 7 hammer-discovery-00

<masinter> the computation of the "base" of relative URIs is generic

<timbl> sorry pringingthe dco off

<timbl> doc

<masinter> style cascades

tbl: user can edit html doc, and would want multiple link headers

<masinter> someone is drying their hair

<masinter> much better

<Zakim> DanC, you wanted to ask for a story involving real-world parties on

<timbl> Sorry, for the noise

<Ashok> In an example related to the identity space, an end-user can use a

<timbl> I would suggest as an alternative: if the rtwo resource descriptors

<DanC> (still too many pronouns)

<Zakim> jrees, you wanted to answer dan with story

<DanC> (the canonical openid story is: I want to comment on a blog item

jar: looked at openid in wikipedia. goal is to reduce the number of
... I still have to authenticate, but I use one string across the sites.

<DanC> (ecommerce is a bit of a stretch, given security properties of

<ht> Am I the only one who is confused as to why we are talking about
OpenID?

jar: we're talking openid because Dan wanted 1 story.
... rather than coming up with a new namespace, perhaps a person

<DanC> (using openid to find a public key... gee... you're not going to

jar: this can be used to find resource descriptors..

<masinter> there are no "name services" there are only "name lookup
services".

I'll note there is a canonical mailto: URI to http URIs for openids.

masinter: people confuse name assignment with name lookup
... same problems with dns, oids, ....
... what people are really getting is a promise that there will be
... need to be clear about future service vs the name
... because the identity contains the scheme for how to get

<DanC> (I find it hard to get motivated to look into the technical details

masinter: Now we are asking what's the way to get the metadata about the
... There can be many different locations for the link or relations
... seems more likely that the different sources may have different

<Stuart> +1 to what Larry just said

tbl: do you mean different but not conflicting?
... this is all from the same site, the same dns name.
... stuff that comes demonstrably from the same source as the doc
... different sites may have different parts under different control
... they are different information

masinter: there is a spectrum from static to dynamic. for example

tbl: could also have something like subscription expiry

masinter: I wouldn't expect the spec to disallow conflicting

ashok: different users have different access to resources

<timbl> That's true: Anotehr reason for having different metdata reource

ashok: metadata spec has an example of where the metadata is inside the

<Zakim> jrees, you wanted to suggest that probably Eran wants to permit

jar: the specs are trying to do 1 thing and do it well.
... obviously people can get metadata from everywhere.
... this gives a way to communicate information about the name of
... is this sufficient such as different mechanisms? no. This
... to ask it to look into pdf is making it too complicated

ashok: both specs talk about revised versions coming out. Let's take

<masinter> suggest a more definitive action, e.g., to encourage W3C review
of

<DanC> ("the mailing list that's talking about it" is which? I think it's

skw: there's been a general interest in web community, and semantic

(didn't eran set up a mailist list for the discovery??)

<DanC> (dunno, dorchard ; haven't followed eran's work much at all,

there's a discovery mailing list: metadata-discovery@googlegroups.com

on the discovery feedback, Eran said "Feedback would be highly

<DanC> ah. good.

skw: jar's next steps?

jar: comments to Eran, keep following

mark baker produced a branch draft, henry has commented on that

skw: have your comments been addressed henry?

ht: I don't think Noah has done the cleanup on the (g?)rddl example.
... should only take 30 seconds to fix the grddl example.

<noah_waltham> No, Mark did not produce a branch draft. I did, in response
to

ht: wrt noahs? (should be mark bakers?) I agree with the first part

<noah_waltham> Yes, I have agreed to do GRDDL cleanup, but it's not done
yet.

<noah_waltham> No, I'm not aware that Mark did a draft. I did.

<DanC> (ht's alternative, I suppose:

<noah_waltham> Henry is accepting first sentence of my branch draft change,

<DanC> DanC: the XSLT literal result issue isn't addressed, but maybe I'm

dc: something might look like a check element but it's not

<masinter> Well, I was puzzled by the characterization of the "issue" was
over

ht: xslt ought to have a media type for when xslt is embedded inside xml

dc: self-describing web breaks down when....

<DanC> Vendor publiseshes po-template.xml

dc: vendor co publishes po template.xml

<DanC> as application/xml

<DanC> and the root element bears http://vencorco.example/po namespace

<DanC> and below the root it has XSLT goo

this is the same problem with documents that contain xinclude and is

still!

vendorco has a place for extensions including xslt and example line

ht: purchase order contains minimum 4 tables, so template contains 4
... xslt wg didn't have a leg to stand on when they said it's not a

<masinter> the nature of the conversation confuses me; it's as if the TAG is


<jrees> danc: I don't think it's a critical bug to fix, but it would be nice


<noah_waltham> Please keep in mind that, while the finding surely has to be

<jrees> ok, for less freedom, just use one of my suggestions.

noah: as proposed = with 3 changes?

<jrees> yes

noah: fine any way, as proposed is fine

norm: fine

skw: fine with 3 changes

tbl: concur

dc: tbl, please offer informed opinion

<DanC> (one of my hesitations is that I don't know what the "GRDDL example"
is)

<masinter> if the question is whether to publish the document as a finding:

noah: I think I got some help from Norm on the diagram sizing.

tbl: it's been made to fit but it doesn't quite work with the

noah: document denotes URI should go down

<DanC> (I can't read the diagram and wouldn't miss it if were gone, FWIW)

skw: I think I'm hearing an objection from tbl.

<noah_waltham> Proposal: we will publish SDW as proposed in

<noah_waltham> Norm: I will work on it.

<noah_waltham> Norm: can you have a diagram by 1);00 ET tomorrow?

skw: calling the question on the latest proposal?

<noah_waltham> Norm: can you have a diagram by 10:00 ET tomorrow?

no objections from TAG members

no abstentions from TAG members
