Noah: f2f agenda proposal to be coming soon...
ISSUE-50 (URNsAndRegistries-50): Persistent references
<noah> Looking for comments on proposed text to be sent announcing
end of TAG "product" work on HTML5 last call review:
[12]https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2011Dec/0041.html
[12] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2011Dec/0041.html
<jar_> Noah's action is 599
[13]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/599
[13] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/599
Henry: I want to know what the status of these documents is.
... Polyglot is in last call but there's also an editor's draft
which has different wording.
... other question is what about the author document...
Noah: It got republished.
<Larry> I'm not sure what the purpose of this announcement is, could
you explain?
Henry: Reason I'm asking: regarding the announcement...
<Larry> we have lots of other products and issues that have been
open and are still open and we're not closing
Henry: I'm happy for you to send that document; though I am facing
some issues.
<Larry> the announcement is likely to have lots read into it, and
i'm confused about what we're trying to accomplish
Noah: I will get this note out [unless there is objection].
Larry: I am confused on the point.
<Larry> that's not how the note reads to me
Noah: I've told the community that when the TAG shifts its
priorities I will announce that so people know what we're working
on.
... that's the goal.
Larry: I think we have failed on HTML5 review.
Noah: This document doesn't say success or fail - it just states the
facts [relating to the review].
... what do others feel?
<Larry> i'll volunteer to redraft
JAR: I think it's confusing as is.
Henry: I think the goal is a good one.
<jar_> I look at the note and am inclined to ask "why should I care
(about what's being said)?"
<DKA>Personally I don't find it too long - I think it's reasonable.
<Henry> Ship it
Noah: Can people type words into IRC on what we should do?
Ship it.
<Larry> I think what we're doing is refocusing our efforts to look
at the effects and follow-on of resolving the effect of HTML5 on the
rest of the W3C recommendations
<jar_> Add one sentence saying that this is a review of TAG work,
not new information
<Larry> We're not "ending" our focus on the technology, but
realizing that we don't intent to change HTML5, but rather move
forward.
Henry: I think Larry's last line in IRC could be useful.
Noah: I don't want to say that.
<noah> RESOLUTION: The TAG will close out
<noah> the major TAG "Product" titled HTML5 Last
<noah> Call Review, but will pursue ongoing related
<noah> initiatives (e.g. microdata/RDFa), and
<noah> will generally keep tracking HTML5 developments
<Larry> As an internal administrative matter within the TAG....
<Henry> Fair enough, I suspect I will want us to try to get
something changed wrt prefixes
<jar_> Before para "HTML5 Last Call Review" add "The following
summarizes TAG work on this 'product'." or something like that
Noah: Larry do you want to add or delete a sentence?
Larry: I'm willing to draft something.
... I think it's likely to be confusing.
<Larry> an update on TAG priorities would be better than an
announcement of removing an item without anything about what we're
going to do instead, then.
<Larry> your announcemenet doesn't even have a link to the product
pages
<Larry> so this is an announcement that the product page that wasn't
there isn't there?
<noah> The goal is to tell them about our products
<noah> [14]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/products/index-2011-09-13.html
[14] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/products/index-2011-09-13.html
<Larry> can we get a hit count on that page from the system team?
<jar_> link to *that* page then
<Larry> how many people other than TAG members have looked at it
that we need to announce that a page that wasn't there isn't going
to be there?
<jar_> since that is the product page
<scribe> ACTION: Larry to redraft something on this html5 review in
3 weeks. recorded in [15]http://www.w3.org/2011/12/22-tagmem-irc]
[15] http://www.w3.org/2011/12/22-tagmem-irc
<trackbot> Created ACTION-643 - Redraft something on this html5
review in 3 weeks. [on Larry Masinter - due 2011-12-29].
<Larry> i'd rather have an announcement about our priorities going
forward, in which we note that we've done with this one
<noah> ACTION: Larry to draft proposed alternative text to e-mail

time to improve this

Noah: We need a product page and a report on the workshop.
<noah> Draft product page:
[20]https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2011Dec/0041.html

[21]http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/idcc11/workshops
[21] http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/idcc11/workshops
<noah> Draft product page:
[22]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/products/persistence.html
[22] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/products/persistence.html
Henry: URIs and registries and XRI and "http is good enough" etc...
... we may have lost a few battles but we seem to be winning the
war. The crucial change observed over last 18 months or so is that
the owners and operators / major users of the big non-http URI
schemes (in particular handle and DOI) are creating URI versions and
telling people to cite them via URIs.
<Larry> I wonder, if the issue is "URNs and Registries", why the
product page doesn't mention URNs ...
Henry: none-the-less some unfinished business. There's a document we
need to finish. The other thing- precisely as DOIs begin to use URIs
via doi.org, the importance of the persistence of their ownership of
that domain becomes even more important.
<noah> Hmm, it's not clear to me that this product is supposed to be
all of URNRegistries-50
Larry: the product page doesn't mention URNs
Henry: good point.
<noah> I think the converse is true, this product is >part of<
URNSRegistries-50
<noah> Specifically, this is the persistence bit, right?
Larry: I would like to be able to explain clearly what we think the
persistence characteristics are including addressing how URNs fit
into that.
Henry: Yes.
<noah> [23]https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/50
[23] https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/50
<noah> Issue Scope:
<noah> This issue covers a) URIs for namespace names b) URNs and
other proposed systems for "location independent" names c) XML and
other registries, and perhaps centralized vs. decentralized
vocabulary tracking.
Noah: I'm happy with this but things need straightening out. We have
an issue-50.
... My impression is that along the way we noticed that persistence
was important to focus on and we have done this under issue-50 but
[issue-50 is bigger than this topic].
<Larry> There's URNbis
<noah> NM: My main point is that scope of ISSUE-50 is broader than
the product. That's working as designed.
<noah> NM: I am fine with the proposed change from Larry and HT,
because as HT says, persistence was one of the reasons brought up
for people wanting URNs
Henry: we had the meeting in london when we had the British Library
and UCL people to talk with us about domain name persistence. I
pushed towards having a workshop to engage the community. Now that
has happened (with help from JAR and Digital Curation Centre).
... We had lots of people there - good group of people - we did miss
some reps from linked data community.
<Larry> "Uncool URIs MUST change!"
<noah> Hmm...when workshop report is done, we should probably decide
whether to close ACTION-528
Henry: IRC Log from workshop is available.

Henry: a full report will follow.
<noah> NM: Should we keep ACTION-620 open until the written report
is done?
<noah> HT: Yes, please.
<noah> HT: Consensus was that a new top level domain is not the
right way to go about this.
<Larry> I'd like to bring up SOPA and recent court cases which force
ISPs to redirect domain names
<noah> Could you clarify reference to 8 January?
<dka> New ICANN process? Please clarify.
<Henry> Yes, ICANN.
<jar_> New gTLD process - applications accepted starting Jan 8 - for
three months
<Henry> New top level domain, put up $150,000 bond. It'phoneor
things like .newyork and .ibm
<Henry> Very big deal.
<Larry> as a point an intrinsic conflict between
DNS-as-permanent-naming vs. DNS-as-operational-system subject to
tweaking
Henry: the 2 headlines are: consensus was that new ICANN top level
domain process was not the right way to go about this. This is the
new "put up $150k bond" thing.
<noah> So...they're deciding that $150,000 does not in all cases
lead to persistence? :-)

[28] http://valideus.com/news-from-icann-new-gtld-launch-confirmed-in-january-2012/
<jar_> seems to be Jan 12, not Jan 8
Henry: 2nd headline - as a result of the conversation, someone named
Gavin Brown from a UK registry came up with a new idea - to use
.arpa. Because .arpa is a bit like example.com - it is operated by
IETF on behalf of icann. In order to get a subdomain you have to get
an RFC approved.
<noah> HT: Proposal from Gavin Brown(?) to use .arpa, which has
surprisingly special status. In particular, you need to go through
getting an RFC approved.
Henry: there are 2 different potential approaches to this idea.
<jar_> [29]http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3172
[29] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3172
Henry: more details will be in the report.
<noah> Why .arpa rather than .per (for persistent or some such), but
with rules designed to match those now in effect for .arpa?
Henry: Crucial aspect of any mechanism designed to manage allocation
of robust domains has to have a substantial community review
component. WHat people liked about the .arpa story is that it
already has that in place.
HT: Anything to add?
JAR: No, thank you.
<Zakim> Larry, you wanted to discuss SOPA, legal cases
<DKA> Henry: we didn't have discussions on takedowns / forced loss
of domain names / the political side of this.
LM: I'm nervous that there are starting to be legal cases in which
courts order modifications to DNS. DNS is not promoted as
persistent. [Scribe is not sure he got the nuances.]
<Larry> "takedown" as part of the way in which the world treats
DNS... and what that has to do with this?
HT: We didn't discuss takedown in detail, but it's an important
consideration.
<jar_> Larry: takedown threat - how related to http: persistence ?
<jar_> jar: or to urn: persistence for that matter
<DKA> ... persistent naming schemes depend on two intertwined
phemenon.
HT: Persistent naming depends on (1) binding and (2) resolution.
<Larry> i'm not nervous, and i think this has been happening for a
while, i just saw these things in the last few weeks and wondered
HT: DNS lookup is a good example of resolution.
<Larry> they've been redirecting, not just taking down
<jar_> example of binding: A credible spec that says a particular
URI has a particular meaning
HT: It's important to talk about what happens when binding gets out
of sync with resolution. One reason might be court-ordered takedown.
JAR: In any persistent system, there must be some act you do to
cause a name to become bound, and that's irrevocable.
... Binding and ownership are different. Ownership is in principle
the right to change binding, but in a persistent system, you won't
be changing bindings.

Proposed product page:
[38]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/products/defininguris.html
[38] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/products/defininguris.html
JAR: I did some work on the product page on Dec. 5
... I think we agreed the attempt made to deal with this in 2005
didn't actually work out. We talked in June about possibly needing
to take something to Rec track.
... I made the suggestion to do this in the form of a call for
change proposals.
... It's been a problem that some of the proposals aren't complete
enough...trying to get an organized proposal around this.
... To have change proposals, you need a baseline, so I hatched one:
[39]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2011/12/uddp/
... We're wrestling with RDF (scribe wonders if he meant URIs?) for
linking vs. metadata
... To date, it's mainly been an RDF issue.
... The only test of whether we've succeeded is to see what kind of
RDF people write
... Because of the emphasis on RDF, Larry has suggested taking this
out of the TAG, Tim has said he wants it in the TAG. For now it's
here.
[39] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2011/12/uddp/
LM: Don't think we can just lob it over to RDF; we do need to at
least give some direction
JAR: When this product page was first created we talked about
getting to PR or equivalent by July. I wrote a schedule that's
looking extremely aggressive.
NM: Are these dates still realistic, if aggresive? If so, I'm OK
with that. I don't like carrying dates that we know in advance are
likely to be unrealistic.
JAR: We can change dates if you want?
NM: Not if you feel it's still a realistic motivator.
JAR: Well, let's see if change proposals come in. If they don't,
then dates definitely aren't realistic. If they do, we might be ok.
<Larry> i think it's fine
<Larry> the product page is fine
NM: Any objections to removing the draft notification from the
product page?
No objections.
<jar_> if no CPs come in then the dates are realistic
<scribe> ACTION: Noah to take off draft indication and put dates on
URI Definition and Discovery Product page [recorded in

ago. Will try for tomorrow.
JAR: I need good review, because this stuff is controversial, and I
want to get it right.

<Larry> based on 12/8 resolution
Mime and the Web
NM: Larry has asked for a few minutes to review some work he's done.
LM: I decided I liked the word "evolution" better than extensibilty.

LM: There was a resolution suggesting that I do work in this
direction.
<jar_> Larry's email on this:
[46]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2011Dec/0085.html
[46] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2011Dec/0085.html
<jar_> oops. not quite.
LM: Seems to me there are a lot of interrelated: hard to talk about
mime without registries, or registries without identifiers.
<Larry>
[47]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2011/12/evolution/Concepts.html
[47] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2011/12/evolution/Concepts.html
LM: So, I split things out. The top level document originally had
everything; now it links to separate documents.
<Larry> three things: languages as they are used, the
implementations that use them, and the specifications that describe
them
LM: The only one I think is relatively stable is the "concepts and
terminology". It's been very helpful for me to talk separately
about: 1) the languages as they are used and 2) the specifications
that describe them
... When we talk about registries, versions, etc., it becomes
important to talk about which of these we're dealing with. When we
do, things get clearer.
... So, look at the concepts first.
NM: We'll have a F2F session. Are you planning to do more work
before then?
<Larry> i'm really looking for feedback on structure & scope
LM: Yes
<Larry> and not a careful review of editorial content
LM: Concepts is the one that's worth reading now.
... Want to talk about structure and scope informally.
NM: What do you want the focus of the agenda item to be.
... We'll discuss at least structure and scope, and look in detail
at concepts which will be required reading. Maybe or maybe not other
work will make it in time for the required list.
