Scribe next week: Tim Finin

Action Items

ACTION: Pat will attempt to take abstract syntax, and Peter's MT and the
mapping into RDF and will write a model theory in the Connolly style
(i.e. as an extension to RDF MT) and see if he can identify the exact
issues. Target deadline: three weeks (July 25). – change of due date to
Aug 1, expected to be completed by Aug 19
DONE

ACTION Larry Eshelman to contribute example to how-to-do-it doc
CONTINUED (with request from Eshelman for members to send part-whole
examples to him and guus’ refinement of the request to send to the
group).

ACTION (Raphael): will make a large ontology available to test readers.
DONE

ACTION: Hendler produce test for issue 4.2
CONTINUED

ACTION: Dan C. to work with Pat H to reconcile the issues of missing
     discussion of model theory in the log
DONE

ACTION: Jeremy Carroll to remove .rdf suffixes
CONTINUED

ACTION: Chairs to forward hotel info for f2f4 to WebOnt
DONE

ACTION: Chairs to determine location 5th ftf and inform group
DONE (with discussion including some disagreement; discussion stopped
when appeal out of telecom proposed).

ACTION: Guus to put together an example from his wine stuff - small
part of ontology that contains this kind of region/PartOf example -
for walkthru document
CONTINUED

ACTION: Deb to take a shot at writing up the closed world example
CONTINUED

ACTION: Guus to update UML document to reflect new Owl Lite
CONTINUED (with take 2 weeks)

ACTION: JimH to inform SW-Cg of (very provisional, likely to slip)
   dependency WebOnt is taking on re: OMG interaction
DONE

ACTION: Chairs to find an editor or process to produce the RDF/RDFS/OWL
Lite/OWL comparison/discussion document. JimH to inform SW-CG this is
being considered.
CONTINUED

Discussion concerning F2F meeting discussion and Model Theory discussion
please see the IRC log

ACTION: Hayes will do a revision of his model theory document that
addresses major points raised in the teleconference by Monday.

AGREEMENT: 2 week discussion period on the model theory

ACTION – Peter Patel-Schneider will do a revision of his model theory
that clarifies the relationship between his MT and RDFS and he  will
attempt to make this relationship non-trivial

Meeting adjourned after the action for patel-schneider (scribe should
have noted this in log at approximately 17:29:40).

weblink, people requested to make their own hotel reservations

16:17:13 [dlm]
chairs were to decide f2f5 location
16:17:18 [dlm]
3 points:
16:17:26 [dlm]
1 - even distribution between europe and us
16:17:40 [dlm]
2 colocation with plenary in march in boston is desirable
16:18:00 [dlm]
3 many things may be needed to get things inplace for discussion
16:18:36 [dlm]
two meetings in a row in england
16:19:01 [dlm]
are now proposed
16:19:17 [Zakim]
+??P3
16:19:51 [dlm]
stein points to center of mass for participants and suggests that the
split between europe and us evenly does not meet the center of mass
16:20:20 [dlm]
eastern us is closer to center of mass for participants
16:21:00 [dlm]
maintaining 3 in us and 3 in europe seems an arbitrary decision
16:22:09 [dlm]
manchester has an access grid room
16:22:47 [dlm]
one choice point is 2 meetings in england now or two meetings in the us
in 2003
16:24:18 [dlm]
decision wasabout f2f 5
16:24:41 [dlm]
flipped a coin and picked manchester
16:24:55 [dlm]
can appeal the decision out of the telecon

16:28:08 [DanCon]
Zakim, is pat here?
16:28:10 [Zakim]
probably, DanCon; Pat_Hayes arrived 22 minutes ago
16:29:23 [dlm]
pat - pfps's model theory for abstract syntax
16:29:33 [dlm]
rendering of abstract syntax into rdf
16:30:01 [dlm]
as input
16:30:13 [dlm]
did a transliteration of semantic conditions from pfps's model theory
16:30:23 [dlm]
and stated as structural interpretation
16:30:41 [dlm]
showed one could construct and rdf interpretation that was a structural
interpretation
16:31:21 [dlm]
construction of rdf interpretation for owl has 2 stages
16:31:25 [dlm]
pfps model theory
16:31:40 [dlm]
move the interpretation over to rdf
16:31:46 [dlm]
assigns interpretations to subgraphs
16:31:53 [dlm]
that may not be an rdfs interpretation
16:31:59 [dlm]
need to assign truth values
16:32:19 [dlm]
could be uniformly extended to an rdfs interpretation that comes out
with the same truth values
16:32:31 [dlm]
there is an rdfs interpretation that satisfies the owl model theory
16:32:39 [dlm]
there is a "devious trick"
16:32:51 [dlm]
extension mapping refers to the notion of validity of the first kind of
model
16:33:08 [dlm]
for more details refer to pats document
16:34:44 [dlm]
questions - pfps - claims pats claims are false
16:35:07 [dlm]
pfps has examples of entailments valid in one and not the other
16:35:26 [DanCon]
Peter's point seems well made, to me.
16:36:15 [dlm]
horrocks - can have an example of one thing in domain of discourse in
owl and claim not true in pat's
16:37:16 [dlm]
hayes - semantics for rdfs graphs and follows rdfs rules
16:37:25 [dlm]
classes can exist that are not owl:class
16:38:13 [dlm]
all things in IR will be larger than in one for OWL, but this is
irrelevent
16:38:36 [dlm]
hayes not not reproduce all aspects of pfps's model theory
16:39:14 [dlm]
clarification - hendler - key differences between hayes and dan's view
16:39:22 [DanCon]
Zakim, who's talking?
16:39:33 [Zakim]
DanCon, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following:
+44.117.311.aacc (28%), ??P13 (9%), Pat_Hayes (89%)
16:39:38 [dlm]
should be dan/jeremy view
16:40:11 [Zakim]
- +44.117.311.aacc
16:40:38 [dlm]
dan/jeremy propose a strategy that is too limiting and hayes claims that
his does not require the strong limitations
16:41:25 [dlm]
hayes claims a version of pfps's model theory that is compatible with
rdfs - not capturing the semantic structures but hayes claims the truth
16:41:53 [dlm]
horrocks - points out a bug
16:42:14 [DanCon]
ooh... interesting... negation w.r.t. owl:Thing. hmm...
16:42:15 [dlm]
hayes says subclass of owl entities not rdfs entities
16:43:01 [dlm]
horrocks - the task hayes has may be too hard to do in a short time
period
16:43:49 [dlm]
smith - what is the advantage of taking a straight forward and readable
model theory and writing it in this form
16:43:57 [dlm]
hayes - clarifies relationship to rdfs
16:44:18 [dlm]
smith - how do people think of this language?
16:44:55 [dlm]
3 languages?
16:45:06 [dlm]
hard to keep the prefixes right - smith
16:45:20 [dlm]
hayes - consider the rdfs family
16:46:11 [dlm]
van harmelen - what is the fate of the pfps proposed counter examples?
16:46:37 [dlm]
pfps claims the problem is hayes does not have enough classes
16:46:58 [dlm]
does the intersection of student and class exist? asks connolly
16:47:03 [dlm]
hayes - yes
16:47:19 [dlm]
pfps - the list, the sequence but not the intersection
16:47:31 [dlm]
does it exist for pfps's version?
16:47:42 [dlm]
the problem does not arise for pfps's version
16:48:36 [dlm]
hayes -this may be the answer for hayes too
16:48:55 [dlm]
hayes has an action item to go back and look at pfps's first example
again
16:49:28 [dlm]
horrocks - what about sequences (e.g., intersection of a b a )
16:49:47 [dlm]
hayes - can not have loops but he means to allow repetition
16:50:00 [dlm]
this is just a bug; should allow for duplication
16:50:40 [dlm]
horrocks - what is the interpretation of thing?
16:50:51 [dlm]
hayes - owl:thing
16:51:18 [dlm]
what is the interpretation of A or not A
16:51:24 [dlm]
hayes - true
16:51:25 [Zakim]
-Buswell
16:51:50 [dlm]
action - more thought is required because of the complementation issue
16:53:24 [dlm]
what is the minimum interpretation?
16:53:52 [dlm]
a number of questions are arising on what is the interpretation of
proposed classes such as the union of B and its complement?
16:54:32 [dlm]
horrocks - we dont know how to do great horned owl
16:54:51 [dlm]
hayes - lets not focus on great horned owl
16:55:51 [dlm]
connolly suggests that this is the same problem he found in his model
theory and he never found a fix
16:57:48 [dlm]
if classes are in domain of discourse, then problems occur with
cardinality of domain
16:57:58 [dlm]
domains have minimum size
16:58:14 [dlm]
rdfs has minimum size
16:58:36 [dlm]
great horned owl domain is infinite
17:00:19 [dlm]
horrocks points out that everything that follows in owl does not follow
in great horned owl
17:02:08 [dlm]
horrocks claims there is no inbetween world that conforms to owl
17:02:54 [dlm]
i.e, the entailments are not the same as those in pfps' model theory
17:04:25 [dlm]
the point is reraised that this task that hayes has may be too hard to
be solved in a reasonable time for this working group
17:05:13 [dlm]
dark triples handles the problem in another way but in a way that
"ignores rdf"
17:05:45 [dlm]
van harmelen - we have now clarified the bind but we do not have a
resolution
17:05:59 [dlm]
horrocks - pfps' proposal is a solution
17:06:10 [dlm]
van harmelen - but it does not show a relationship between owl and rdfs
17:06:25 [dlm]
smith - we need to have a statement of the relationship (possibly
leaving out features)
17:07:25 [dlm]
hendler - do we really have a proposal that is fully worked out (other
than a solution where everything is dark)?
17:08:01 [Zakim]
+LynnT
17:08:24 [dlm]
will someone take an action to write such a proposal?
17:09:43 [dlm]
pfps - the charter of the working group could be satisfied without this
by using the syntax of rdfs but not the semantics
17:14:10 [dlm]
Possible ACTION - Hayes will do a revision by Monday that addresses
major points raised
17:14:20 [dlm]
horrocks questions if this makes sense
17:16:48 [dlm]
possible action above is real action
17:17:14 [jhendler]
ACTION: Hayes will do a revision of his MT document that addresses major
points raised
17:20:30 [frankh]
q+
17:20:48 [schreiber]
ack frankh
17:21:01 [frankh]
q-
17:21:03 [dlm]
frank - tradeoff between speed of progress vs. quality of main result
17:22:11 [dlm]
the hope would be that pat would be successful yielding a more
acceptable group mt
17:23:20 [dlm]
horrocks would like a time limit set on the MT proposal
17:24:05 [dlm]
other proposals could be refined in the time period
17:24:25 [dlm]
request for messages clarifying issues dependent upon this
17:24:55 [dlm]
suggestion - in 2 weeks take stock again of the mt situation
17:26:38 [dlm]
class problem - there are too many for pfps mt and too few for what
hayes wants
17:26:54 [dlm]
agreed - 2 week discussion period on MT
17:28:50 [DanCon]
maybe peter could type it?
17:29:04 [dlm]
ACTION - pfps will do a revision of his MT that clarifies the
relationship between his MT and rdfs
17:29:23 [dlm]
and peter will attempt to make this relationship non trivial

I was hoping to follow up on the question PatH asked
17:30:44 [schreiber]
dan, we did not discuss the role of your MT. Can you adjust also?
17:30:52 [Zakim]
-Jim_Hendler
17:31:11 [DanCon]
adjust: well, I could pretty it up with examples, but no, I don't know
how to address the substantive objections
17:31:39 [dlm]
does anyone know where the url for this record is?

17:32:02 [dlm]
ok
17:32:32 [timfinin]
today's discussion gave me a headache and made me think of this quote,
which I am fond of, ""Confusionists and superficial intellectuals move
ahead while the 'deep
17:32:32 [timfinin]
thinkers' descend into the darker regions of the status quo or, to
express it
17:32:32 [timfinin]
in a different way, they remain stuck in the mud." -- Paul Feyerabend
(1988)
