Scribe still needed.

> --- 3. Comment handling

Jeremy asked about the change log in the editors' draft.
DanC advised that the change log should reflect changes against the CR version.

Completed action:

Continued action:

The proof attempt was:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Jun/0017
as modified by:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Jun/0294

The refuting example was:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Aug/0142
and thread.


Jeremy reported that:
- Peter's action as complete
- Peter had found a significant flaw with the proof.
- Jeremy still believes the result is correct.
- Peter believes the result to be incorrect.
- Neither belief is proven.
(note Peter was absent with regrets)

Jeremy offered to take an action to attempt to fix the proof (but noted 
that the fix and review would take time). No action was assigned, and 
further discussion was postponed to item 10.

> --- 5. RDF Internationalization

Completed actions:


> ACTION: Jeremy to send his discussion of some of the issues re
> xml:lang and literals to WG.
> 
> ACTION: Guus S. will review.
> 
> ACTION: Guus Schreiber will send some examples of use of xml:lang to
> webont mailing list.


RDF Core WD will be published 5th September, and will specifically ask for 
comments on this issue. Informally Jeremy indicated that a consensus 
comment from WebOnt would be useful.

A brief discussion as to whether Guus' msg:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Sep/0027

could constitute such a comment, but there was insufficient informed debate.
Jeremy noted that specifically discussing the wrapper solutions in the 
comment would be helpful to RDF Core.




> --- 6. Test review
>

Completed action:

 
> ACTION: Jeremy C. to study DL 909 and report back.



Jeremy indicated that a new version of the editors draft with the fix 
(10billion to 1billion) would be available next week.

Jos has changed some proposed test by the character #
(as reported:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Aug/0113
)

Extended dicussion of pass/fail/incomplete for non-entailment and 
consistency tests.

Some classes of reasoners, particularly those by OWL Full implementors 
cannot prove nonentailments, but merely fail to prove entailments in these 
cases. Sandro wished these to be reported as incomplete (but see after 
telecon e-mail traffic)

There was discussion as to whether our exit criteria should be changed, 
DanC suggested that it would be cheaper to make all these tests extra 
credit (well at least *proving* all these tests as extra credit)

Discussion continues.

It was noted that Sean has not yet fully implemented the feature at risk, 
whereas Peter has.
e.g.
http://www.w3.org/2002/03owlt/disjointWith/consistent004

Scribe note the discussion drifted, without a formal change of agenda item.
Topic: names for tests.

Sandro and DanC noted that the syntax tests were one two or more per test 
case depending on the number of files.
It was also noted that the semantic tests are often two per test case (one 
using the DL semantics and one using the Full semantics)

DanC argued that it would be helpful if we had each individual test 
individually named. There was significant resistance from the test editors 
against duplicating tests to give new names.

ACTION jeremy To think about test naming and report back.

Agendum dropped, and meeting adjourned.
