Metadata Architecture

    <noah>
    [19]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Sep/0016.html

      [19] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Sep/0016.html

    Noah: Jonathan would like to pass this on to someone else

    jar: I cannot think about anything non-trivial to say ...

    <jar>  masinter: survey what w3c is doing?

    Larry: Can we survey what W3C does about metadata and problems
    thereon

    Noah: Should we follow the links from the action

    jar: I cannot do this ... would be better if we got some fresh eyes
    looking at it
    ... or postpone to January

    Noah: We could close it but wait till Tim is around
    ... or someone follow the links

    <jar>  agenda: [20]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2010/09/16-agenda

      [20] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2010/09/16-agenda

    <noah>  Take a look at email:
    [21]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Nov/0028.html

      [21] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Nov/0028.html

    <noah>  Tracker, this discussion is about ACTION-282

    Ashok: That's about metadata access ... this issue is about metadata
    architecture

    <noah>  I think Larry is proposing: "Draft a finding on which
    metadata technologies (RDFa, photo EXIF, etc.) do I use when?"

    <noah>  Maybe we should retitle the action?

    Larry: People don't know how to write metadata ... lots of confusion

    <jar>  masinter: A success criterion for this activity. RDFa,
    microdata, XIF, XMP, GPS, privacy policy. People are confused about
    what to use when. It's a confusing mess. What happens when they
    conflict? When I want to change it? Operational issues among W3C and
    other specs.

    <noah>  NM: I think we also discovered that the advice in
    [22]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Nov/0028.html is
    misleading; ACTION-282 is mostly NOT about metadata access.

      [22] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Nov/0028.html

    <noah>  LM: I'd like an architecture which is a framework into which
    these specific mechanisms can be placed.

    Larry: We need a framework into which these mechanisms can fit

    jar: That matches my memory of how this came up

    <noah>  jar: F2F discussion would be good...we're ready

    jar: Perhaps duscuss at f2f

    Larry: Perhaps create an outline

    noah: I can put on an agenda

    Larry: May be good to have a reading list
    ... I will send mail

    <noah>  . ACTION: Noah to schedule discussion of ACTION-282, which
    metadata mechanisms to use when. Get reading list from Larry and
    www-tag.

    <noah>  ACTION: Noah to schedule discussion of ACTION-282, "which
    metadata mechanisms to use when". Get reading list from Larry and
    www-tag. [recorded in

      [23] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2010/09/16-minutes#action03

    <trackbot>  Created ACTION-465 - Schedule discussion of ACTION-282,
    "which metadata mechanisms to use when". Get reading list from Larry
    and www-tag. [on Noah Mendelsohn - due 2010-09-23].

Generic fragment id processing

    Noah: There is inconsistency in 3023bis and frag-id processing for
    RDF+XML
    ... disagreement about what should be done
    ... TAG recommended that 3023bis back off but we got strong pushback
    saying that generic processing was desirable

    <noah>  Larry's email:
    [24]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Aug/0034.html

      [24] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Aug/0034.html

    Larry: Is there usecase for putting XPointer in the frag-id?

    Noah: Recaps the generic processing argument

    Yves: Issue is not have XPointer supported but all media types must
    have a syntax compatible with XPointer

    <noah>  Martin Duerst's Note:
    [25]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Jul/0022.html

      [25] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Jul/0022.html

    <noah>  Roy Fielding's note:

      [26] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Jul/0021.html

    <noah>  Norm Walsh's note:
    [27]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Jul/0020.html

      [27] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Jul/0020.html

    <noah>  Norm writes:

    <noah>  >>  I find that unsatisfactory. It leaves generic XML
    processors out in

    <noah>  >>  the cold once again by expecting them to be aware of all
    of the media

    <noah>  >>  type registrations for all +xml formats.

    Henry: By using +xml they buy into XML and thus folks expect XML
    processing

    <Zakim>  noah, you wanted to go back to talking about conneg

    Noah: So, people can read different documents and process the
    content differently

    Larry: You want frag-id processing be generic

    <jar>  ht, noah: the URIref 'identifies' one thing when the processor
    has read the rdf+xml spec, a different thing when it reads 3023bis.
    maybe that's ok?

    <jar>  ... a single document, same media type in both cases

    <jar>  masinter: I want to push back on Norm's and Roy's use cases

    Larry: I want to push back on their usecases ... don't understand
    why frag-id processing has to be generic

    <noah>  HT: XSL stylesheets that format rdf+xml

    <jar>  I don't buy that one. It would be meaningless (almost always)
    in the RDF interpretation

    <ht_home>  Note that XInclude is _not_ an example, because it does
    not allow the use of FragIDs

    Larry: I will ask Norm or Roy for concrete example

    <noah>  ACTION: Larry to ask Norm, Roy and Martin for concrete use
    cases where generic processing of fragment ids is important
    [recorded in
    [28]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2010/09/16-minutes#action04]

      [28] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2010/09/16-minutes#action04

    <trackbot>  Created ACTION-466 - Ask Norm, Roy and Martin for
    concrete use cases where generic processing of fragment ids is
    important [on Larry Masinter - due 2010-09-23].

    <ht_home>  jar, the example I have in mind preserves the RDF
    semantics but restructures the RDF XML

    <jar>  grumph. need details.

AWWW and the Web interaction model

    <noah>  ACTION-355?

    <trackbot>  ACTION-355 -- John Kemp to explore the degree to which
    AWWW and associated findings tell the interaction story for Web
    Applications -- due 2010-06-07 -- PENDINGREVIEW

    <trackbot>  [29]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/355

      [29] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/355

    <noah>  John did some writing:
    [30]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Jun/0034.html

      [30] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Jun/0034.html

    Discussion of John's document

    <noah>  AWWW section on "Interaction":
    [31]http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#interaction

      [31] http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#interaction

    Noah: AWWW slices into 3 themes, identification, interaction, data
    formats

    John: How does client know it can use a particular URI ...
    client/server agreement
    ... update of state w/o user interaction e.g. web sockets
    ... need to define 'user agent' ... may be more than a browser
    ... acts on behalf of server also

    Larry: Web apps break our model of knowledge ... downloaded code
    knows stuff client does not know
    ... client runs downloaded code on behalf of server

    <noah>  Larry: what's interesting is the client is executing code not
    (just) on behalf of the client, but rather downloading code that
    acts on behalf of the server

    <noah>  I think that's a really useful way to put it.

    John: Clients act like servers and servers like clients

    Larry: Client has to know security boundaries not the semantics

    Noah: John, can you write a document ... maybe a sketch

    John: Yes

    <noah>  LM: Be careful about terminology about "client", "server" and
    "knowing"

    <noah>  What I asked John to do was an early draft of either an
    updated version of [32]http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#interaction, or
    else perhaps a finding that would be the start of a complementary
    section in some TAG publication.

      [32] http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#interaction

    Larry: ... only need URIs for states you need to come back to

    <noah>  AM: Larry, you commented on my writeup saying that, and I
    agree with you. Raman came back and pushed back, but I've forgotten
    what his point was.

    <noah>  AM: Do you know?

    <noah>  LM: No.

MIME and the Web

    Larry: I wrote a blog post on use of MIME and how it could be
    aligned better with Web Architecture.
    ... suggested some improvements to MIME registry

    <noah>  LM: Thinking of splitting into two documents.

    Larry: may be easier to get agreement on status and history than the
    improvements

    <noah>  We are discussing:
    [33]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Sep/0027.html

      [33] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Sep/0027.html

    <noah>  LM: Also might relate to versioning issues

    Larry: also about sniffing
    ... probably separate versions from variants
    ... finally about distrbuted extensibility
    ... I want to bring learning from other MIME types to HTML
    ... Pehaps descriptive expositions of what has happened

    Noah: Can you do some work on this

    Larry: I will have another document in a week

    <noah>  ACTION: Larry to revise Mime&  Web blog entry, perhaps
    leading to Internet Draft [recorded in
