CONTINUES; little, if any, progress.


ACTION ChrisW: review UML/OWL stuff continues.

ACTION PatH: review UML/OWL stuff continues.

ACTION Evan: review UML/OWL stuff continues.

Frank vH reported on discussion so far...
see discussion...
  http://www.w3.org/2002/05/02-webont-irc#T16-14-10

DanC noted that the Amsterdam meeting record didn't show
a decision to split into 2 levels; DebM asked to get
such a decision. A straw poll showed more
in favor than against (~11 vs !7) but no consensus.
 issue 5.2 Language Compliance Levels remains open

JimH: 0329 seems pretty close; no major objections
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Apr/0329.html


RESOLVED: to open 3.1 Local Restrictions, assigned to DebM

ACTION DebM: write up "these seem to be agreed;
	these have issues; these look harder"
  DebM warned that the normal "one week later" timeline
  wasn't likely, but the following weekend looked workable.
  due: 13May.

... mostly just re-iterating
  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002May/0006.html
but relating it to the issues list.

DebM asked for clarification about what it means to
open and own an issue; DanC/JimH replied that
opening an issue means it's in order to discuss
it on the mailing list, and owning and issue
means being prepared to report, at each telcon,
on the status of the discussion, and in particular,
being prepared to propose a resolution when it looks like
there is one that might get consensus.

DanC reported on ...

 * addressing requirements around daml:collection
(rdfms-seq-representation)
 Dan Connolly (Fri, Apr 19 2002)
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Apr/0334.html

asked if the 'longhand-OK' proposal was acceptable;
JimH, FrankvH suggested no, it's not.

> Unasserted triples - Update (Jon Borden, up to 10 min)

Borden reports: lots of traffic, much of it good stuff...
... theoretical and practical challenges in semantic layering ...
... as to specifics, PeterPS showed a class with a cycle in it; but
something's not clear about what's entailed...

discussion of entailment (DanC - explains issues and paradoxes)

Borden: the "comprehensive entailments" proposal looks perhpas
promising, but it also looks like research; not clear that we could work
out the details in a month or two.

Borden: I'd like help making test cases...

DanCon: did you see jeremy's test cases? I think PeterPS had some too...

Borden: but I don't see how those motivate dark triples

PeterPS: if we're after test cases that show the *problem*, see the
circular paradox gizmo. It does use cardinalityQ; I could get rid of
that using complementOf, but that gets hairier

In IRC, PeterPS provided:

_:1 fowl:onProperty rdf:type .
_:1 fowl:hasClass _:2 .
_:2 fowl:OneOf _:3 .
_:3 fowl:first _:4 .
_:3 fowl:rest fowl:nil .
_:4 fowl:complementOf _:1 .

  _:1 is the set of objects
  that are related to a particular complement of _:1
  via rdf:type

  if x rdf:type _:1
  then x rdf:type _:4
  but _:1 and _:4 are complements

  so not x rdf:type _:1
  if not x rdf:type _:1
  then x rdf:type _:4
  because _:1 and _:4 are complements

  but then x rdf:type _:1

  the above is another problematic situation

JimH: in sum, we're still working on SEM/dark triples stuff.


4A: WebOnt review of RDFCore working drafts

JimH: Note well, RDF Core has released drafts; as individuals,
  we're all welcome to review.
  But more weight is given to group reviews.

JimH: we should take a look at RDFS, which we're basing level
  one on, and see that it's described in a good way

Jeremy: it makes sense to align drafts with focus areas:
  Schema/LANG, GUIDE/Primer, test cases/TEST, model theory/SEM

ACTION chairs: solicit reviewers for RDFCore drafts

JimH: compliance levels, dark triples, [5.3 Semantic Layering]
  remain open.

Today we opened 3.1 Local Restrictions.

> 6) A.O.B

none.

NOTE WELL: no teleconference 9 May; next telcon is 16 May.
