<hugo> it's at: http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/5/07/objections.html

administrivia

igor and gudge has retired from the group, Asir has rejoined

TIBCO has approval for hosting the Sept F2F in bayarea, pending for availability of facility

Amy: we have a room.
... will be in Palo Alto

<Marsh> Prefs: start of week, Tues/Wed if possible.

Nov 9 F2F in Tokyo

<alewis> http://maps.google.com/maps?q=3303+Hillview+Ave,+Palo+Alto,+CA+94304&spn=0.028692,0.058953&t=h&hl=en

scribe: cohosted with ws-a again

no telecon in august, next one in sept 1

publication status

ws-a notational convention calls out extensions from psudeo syntax

scribe: Arthur is working on it, ideally done before the CL pub

<Tomj> I think it is a good idea. Can we leave some extensibility in if they help make things clearer?

scribe: we should do the same thing

tomj: sounds like a good idea

sanjiva: we cann't do that. for example, we need to show bindings

Umit: we shouldn't change anything in WSDL. tell ws-a that in certain points we need to show extensibility

Jonathan: we will drop it now, may come back to it in Sept
... there are questions about wsdl:import. sounds indicating inconsistent b/t primer and core?

arthur: I have answered the question in email to the person. the primer is clear

Jonathan: should we leave Primer in LC while others doc goes to CR in sept? since primer has undergone lot of changes since last LC

Jacck: I like this way of thinking.

Jonathan: examples of the primer should be put in our test suite

Paul: the versioning section has a number of examples

Kevin: most examples in primer are incomplete, just focusing on a particular section

arthur: we will have complete examples in the test backet, validate it and align the primer with it

jonathan: what kind of extra validation will be needed for the primer

Kevin: encourage the group to review the primer. Doubt that CR or LC will make any difference for primer

Jonathan: Now to me it's nice to keep our docs in sync. I would suggest we make all the doc CR

JacekK: are you saying you wanted to keep primer in LC now and later promote it to PR directly

Umit: we should have one criteria for all the doc

<sanjiva> +1 for making the doc be a CR rather than an LC

Arthur: is there anyway somebody will implement the primer?

+1 for keep all docs in sync,

Jonathan: Any objection to move primer to CR along with other docs?

Umit: to encourage the group to pay serious attention to the primer. LC may make it easier to change the primer

Jonathan: My suggestion is still to keep in sept 19 as the end date of Primer, along with the other docs.

no objections. recorded as a consensus of the group

LC Publication date

Huge: hopefully end of next week, with help of Arthur

Jonathan: xpointer schema registeration...
... when should we register our scheme?

Hugo: don't think we need to do anything

Jonathan: need to fig out if we can change our schema once it's registered

RDF mapping

<Tomj> Macromedia has no position on the RDF mapping and is willing to drop it from the list of deliverables if necessary

it's not clear to me that the RDF mapping is able to advance to CR in a few month, maybe in the spring, say March

Bijan apologied for blocking this. one suggestion is to pass the pen to Jacek

other idea is to pull it out from the recommendation track

scribe: do the group feel we will be able to make it through the recommendation track?

Arthur: IBM has team doing RDF mapping. but we believe it should be done by OWL people. If nobody wants to work on it, IBM is ok to drop it

Jacek: I would like to have the pen passed to me

<kendall> ouch

Jacek: I don't have the current status of the doc since Bijan forgot to send me the attachment

I will pick up where Bijan has left. we should be able to have a complete draft in August. it's still possible to CR in a few months

Jonathan: I am appointing Jacek as the editor of the RDF mapping. Let's check the progress in Sept.
... what does the group think to take the RDF draft directly to CR without going the LC step?

Hugo: the charter calls for RDF mapping, I don't think we really need OWL-S
... since the group doesn't have the expertise, we can not be forced to deliver this doc (Scribe not sure he got Hugo's point right)

<JacekK> ack

<pauld> me s/dog/DAWG/

Umit: should we have a deadline for resolving this issue?

Jonathan: if we don't have a draft to look at in our Sept F2F, we should pressure very hard to drop it.
... Jacek, you see the frustration of the group, will you be able to make it?

Jacek: I will try. Will let the group know if I cann't make it

<kendall> :>

Arthur: want to clarify that we agree RDF mapping should not be biased to any language

some more discussion on xpointer register, jonathan suggest we discuss it as a LC comments later

TomJ: what's the date for LC publication?

Jonathan: Hugo estimated next Wednesday
