If at all possible arrive at rendezvous point in the morning.
3: Language name
DECISION The Web Ontology Lanuage will be called OWL
Note: detailed actions related with this decision are postponed.
4: F2F Documents
The subgroup documents are progressing. All appear to be at or near the
stage of subgroup review; and should be ready for the deadline of the 7th.
Concerning the WebServices document, Stefan is currently very busy with
his PhD. Stefan sent regrets for this meeting but indicated progress.
Meanwhile:
ACTION Tim Finin: Ping Stefan to ensure webservices doc moves forward.
There is also the issue raised by Peter at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2001Nov/0156.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2001Dec/att-0156/01-swol2.
text
Peter indicated that the text (the 2nd URL above) is more-or-less finished
and ready for the pre F2F reading list.
There was general agreement that the beginning of Pat Hayes's Model Theory
draft was a good introduction to model theory and should be on the reading
list.
ACTION Jim Hendler Put Pat Hayes's model theory on reading list.
ACTION Frank van Harmelen E-mail a URL to Pat's document.
The meeting closed (with a long discussion about model theory).
Scribe's log follows (note: I lost connectivity briefly).

[18.23] [jjcscribe] Go to local arrangement page, and there is a details
page
[18.23] <DanC> local host page
http://www-db.research.bell-labs.com/user/pfps/wowg-local.html
[18.23] [jjcscribe] Do check details page - it shows where in the building
you must show up
[18.23] <DanC> details page
http://www-db.research.bell-labs.com/user/pfps/local-extra.html
[18.23] [jjcscribe] You must show up at the time and place as indiicated
for PPS to let you in.
[18.23] <DanC> everybody PRINT THE DETAILS PAGE
[18.23] [jjcscribe] You cannot get in without escort.
[18.24] [jjcscribe] If you cannot turn up at beginning of meeting you must
phone someone to come and get you.
[18.25] [jjcscribe] Also possible to phone meeting room.
[18.25] [jjcscribe] Peter wants responses for dinner on Monday night.
[18.26] [jjcscribe] These need to be IMMEDIATE responses
[18.26] [jjcscribe] Jim: please come to the dinner.
[18.27] [jjcscribe] Peter: 3 people can connect to wired portion. People
with particular "gold" card can connect to wireless portion.
[18.27] [jjcscribe] Peter: breakfast provided.
[18.27] <DanC> sigh... my card is 40bit. I lose. I don't see why folks
bother with WEP; I assume my ethernet cables are sniffed; why not assume my
wvlan is sniffed?
[18.28] <DanC> DanC plans to bring an ethernet hub
[18.28] [jjcscribe] If anyone brings ethernet hub then people will be
happy.
[18.29] <DanC> DanC plans to look into bringing a wireless access point.
[18.29] [jjcscribe] Peter if someone brings a hub, each person will need a
cable.
[18.30] <DanC> never mind: I don't plan to look into bringing a wireless
access point.
[18.30] [jjcscribe] Peter - bringing a wireless hub does not work around
the 128 bit req.
[18.31] [jjcscribe] Peter is looking into hubs.
[18.31] [jjcscribe] Peter: if you want to go wired bring an ehternet
cable.
[18.31] [jjcscribe] Agenda 3: Language Name
[18.31] <DanC> ====== Language name
[18.31] <DanC> I second the OWL proposal
[18.32] [jjcscribe] OWL, WOL, or SWOL
[18.32] [jjcscribe] SWOL seems to be dying.
[18.33] [jjcscribe] Issues as to whether OWL as english word will be hard
to searh on
[18.33] [jjcscribe] SHOE is now top in google
[18.34] *** Server connection lost
[18.34] [jjcscribe] OWL - is decided upon.
[18.35] [jjcscribe] Can people see this message.
[18.35] Cycling the channel...
[18.36] [jjcscribe] decision OWL is the name of the web ontology lanaguage
[18.36] Cycling the channel...

[18.39] <DanC> replay:
[18.39] <DanC> <jah-mac> RESOLVED: We will call the language OWL (Ontology
Web Language)
[18.39] [jjcscribe] There was an OWL in the eighties but doesn't seem to
be probelmatic
[18.39] <DeborahMcGuinness>
http://medg.lcs.mit.edu/people/psz/OWL_overview1.html is a pointer to owl -
a language for knowledge representation
[18.39] [jjcscribe] Agenda 4 - status of various docs
[18.40] [jjcscribe] Decker not attending
[18.40] [jjcscribe] Decker's doc is progressing
[18.41] [jjcscribe] No pointer to current version of Decker's doc
[18.41] <DanC> (13 Draft is linked from group home page)
[18.41] [jjcscribe] Leo:
[18.41] [jjcscribe] We should be done by the 7th
[18.41] [jjcscribe] Main thing still being done is condesnation to under
10 pp
[18.42] [jjcscribe] Backup use case is 26 pp
[18.42] * DanC takes another call for a moment... brb...
[18.42] [jjcscribe] Being reduced to slightly more general use cases that
specific use cases map into
[18.42] * DanC returns
[18.43] <DanC> "underneath..." where are we? what page are we looking at?
[18.43] [jjcscribe] No URL at the moment
[18.43] [jjcscribe] Prelim version will be sent to subgorupu maybe today.
[18.44] [jjcscribe] To full group maybe on Monday.
[18.45] [jjcscribe] Jim: remember that we want to get to lang. reqs.
[18.45] [jjcscribe] Josh:
[18.46] [jjcscribe] I have some examples, but won't them all in before the
7th
[18.46] [jjcscribe] Default values come up
[18.46] [jjcscribe] We have quite a good set.
[18.47] <jah-mac> s/Josh/Guus
[18.47] [jjcscribe] Part/whole relationships also keeps coming up.
[18.47] [jjcscribe] (thanks).
[18.47] <DanC> part/whole... yes... that's come up in my work a lot. I was
tempted to confuse part/whole with class/instance; glad I didn't. i.e.
membership in a group is *not* a subproperty of rdf:type.
[18.47] [jjcscribe] Pref-final version tomorrow, final version on Monday.
[18.48] [jjcscribe] Draft doc under review in general requirements
subgroup.
[18.48] [jjcscribe] Doc has 10 different requirements, each with short
defn
[18.48] [jjcscribe] justification, possible approach,
[18.49] [jjcscribe] how this req is supported in daml.
[18.50] [jjcscribe] (Jeff is reporting general reqs?)
[18.51] [jjcscribe] Part/whole, default values are not in general reqs.
[18.51] [jjcscribe] Which things come up in RDFS and which in DAML+OIL?
[18.51] <DanC> "doesn't mean anything?" "no reasoning in RDFS"? hmm...
[18.52] <DeborahMcGuinness> yes - the fourth group co-chaired by jeff and
me is general requirements
[18.52] <DanC> indeed, no concept of transitivity in RDFS. (how is inverse
relevant?)
[18.53] <DanC> jeremy, use case groups are indexed at
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/WebOnt/#Current
[18.53] [jjcscribe] GenReq will meet deadline.
[18.53] <DanC> 7Jan that is
[18.54] [jjcscribe] ACTION Tim Finin to ping stefan to ensure webservices
doc moves forward.
[18.54] [jjcscribe] Jim: lets find overlap and synergy
[18.55] [jjcscribe] Jim: it will be nice if the use cases motivate OWL

[18.59] <DanC> From: Peter F. Patel-Schneider
(pfps@research.bell-labs.com)
[18.59] <DanC> Date: Thu, Dec 20 2001
[19.03] [jjcscribe] Discussion comes down to: are RDF inferences a subset
of OWL inferences?
[19.03] *** JosD (nobody@un.impressive.net) has left IRC [Remote closed
the connection]
[19.03] <DanC> "if you take that point of view, you have a problem
[19.03] <DanC> "if you take that point of view, you have a problem" --
Frank vH. JJC, are you following this?
[19.04] [jjcscribe] (Not well enough to scribe it!)
[19.04] [jjcscribe] Frank; 3rd way out - don't use RDF for writing down
OWL
[19.05] <DanC> sigh... the whole point of the semantic web (to me, at
least) is to collapse the layers.
[19.06] <DanC> partial understanding is critical; the idea that you use
one syntax for ontologies and another for instances would make this very
uninteresting, to me.
[19.06] [jjcscribe] In 3rd way, some parts of XML doc are RDF, other parts
are not.
[19.06] [jjcscribe] RDF parser would pick out instance data
[19.08] [jjcscribe] PPS: John belongs to intersetcion of person and
student does not entail
[19.09] [jjcscribe] John belongs to intersection pof student and person
[19.09] [jjcscribe] Why not?
[19.09] [jjcscribe] Because ...
[19.10] [jjcscribe] there are models in which intersection of student an
dperson doesn't exist
[19.12] [jjcscribe] Peter: problem is syntactic structures don't eist yet
for the student and person
[19.13] <lasDesk1> Consider my hand raised.
[19.13] [jjcscribe] and mine
[19.13] [jjcscribe] In DAML specs do all lists exists?
[19.13] [jjcscribe] We could agree all LIsts to exist
[19.13] [jjcscribe] (Dan?) then the inference will work out
[19.14] [jjcscribe] Peter we may end up with inconsistent axioms
[19.14] [jjcscribe] Peter we can't check whether our axioms are
inconsistent
[19.14] *** timfinin (finin@ecs207pc-01.cs.umbc.edu) has joined #webont
[19.17] [jjcscribe] Deb: we must deal with inconsistent info
[19.17] [jjcscribe] Deb: we must also deal with incomplete info
[19.17] [jjcscribe] This example seems to be an instance of incomplete
info
[19.18] [jjcscribe] Ian: we can treat RDF as syntax and ignore semantics
[19.23] [jjcscribe] JimH: Peter will submit current doc
[19.26] [jjcscribe]
http://www.coginst.uwf.edu/users/phayes/w3-rdf-mt-current-draft.html
[19.26] [jjcscribe] (Pat Hayes Model Theory)
[19.26] <jah-mac> ACTION: Frank will EMAIL URI for Pat Hayes Model Theory
to the webont WG nailing list
[19.26] [jjcscribe] Pat's paper does give justification for why MT is
important
[19.27] <lasDesk1> Are we going to expect that everyone at the f2f has
read Pat's model theory intro?
[19.27] <lasDesk1> http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/
[19.28] <DanC> frap; if RDFCore WG wants webont to look at something other
than the one on /TR/, they should publish it on /TR/. sigh.
[19.28] <DanC> we can't have the proceedings of W3C ftf meetings on
uwf.edu
[19.28] [jjcscribe] Sorry that was the decsion - mainly due to time
constraints
[19.31] <DanC> lasDesk1, pfps, what worked in the RDF Core WG was
play-acting a model theory. we had the syntax on a whiteboard and the object
in the model in the room.
[19.31] <DanC> I think there are pictures... hang on...
[19.32] [jjcscribe] Can we prioritise reading list please?
[19.33] [jjcscribe] XMLQuery - queried
[19.33] <lasDesk1> On Monday (or whenever the deadline is), can someone
please email a list of everything we're supposed to read, prioritized? I
feel like there are multiple versions of these lists.....
[19.34] [jjcscribe] Jim: try hard to make good examples
[19.34] <DanC> oops; that was a list I think I need to do something about
[19.35] <DanC> jah-mac, action me to put path's model theory on the
reading list?
[19.36] <DanC> jah-mac, re speaker's assumptions, this is a real risk. One
thing you, as chair, can do to manage it is to schedule frequent breaks.
[19.38] <DanC> do we need to review the charter at the ftf? the charter
calls for a formal semantics. by joining this group, folks signed up for the
charter.
[19.39] <DanC> oops; I neglected to get Web Architecture Overview on the
ftf agenda.
[19.39] <DanC> e.g. in the airports excercise, PatH had some questions
about URIs that I'd like to answer in a presentation.
[19.40] [jjcscribe] next weeks meeting may be cancelled.
