(missed some comments from Guus here)

Guus: making some progress

<scribe> continued

<scribe> ACTION: mark van assem to produce revised draft of wordnet [CONTINUED] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/01/23-swbp-minutes.html#action15]

3.4 XSCH - XML Schema Datatypes (Jeremy)

Jeremy: had our call, talked about the issue

<jeremy> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/XSCH/xsch-sw

Jeremy: current document reflects agreement
... change is very limited

<jeremy> http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/XSCH/xsch-sw/#sec-use-amapping

<jeremy> Given that [SPARQL] is still in development, the exact relationship between SPARQL semantics and RDF Semantics is unclear. In particular, in one reading of the current [SPARQL] working draft, the mapping from the typed literal, as a syntactic object, to its corresponding value, is done as part of the operation of the = operator in the above query, rather than as part of say a D-interpretation from [RDF Semantics].

<scribe> ACTION: [PENDING] jeremy to contact jeff re resolving the [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/01/23-swbp-minutes.html#action16]

Jeremy: one more day with editors, then move to WG Note
... changes are very limited
... do we need another round of review?

RalphS: Jeremy was summarizing the discussion he had with Jeff
... raising a question - what happens next?

<jeremy> then ^move to^editors are ready to propose WG Note

Guus: if we have consensus on this last issue (presented at F2F), then there is consensus within WG to publish

RalphS: we'll have to check back with reviewers

Guus: yes, but if that problem is resolved, then I'm confident that it's ready to go.

<scribe> ACTION: Jeremy to email WG on agreement he and JeffP reached in XSCH [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/01/23-swbp-minutes.html#action17]

Jeremy: I'll provide adequate technical details

<scribe> ACTION: [PENDING] jeremy to contact jeff re resolving the [DONE] [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/01/23-swbp-minutes.html#action18]

3.5 VM - Vocabulary Management (TomB)

Alistair: what do we do about purls? purl.org recipe? Do we take them out?
... do we put them in an appendix
... during telecon, agreement on moving it to appendix, not sure whether 302's are okay yet.
... I took an action to ask TAG about 302's for classes and properties
... other issues regarding readability of the cookbook
... made some superficial changes (diagrams, small text changes)

Guus: seems to me this doc is ready to go for public review

Alistair: yes, except for one thing
... there's a bug in the recipes recently discovered
... default content during content negotiation is RDF
... thus, if you click on the ontology in a browser, browser requests HTML, and all is well
... however, IE does not request HTML content
... thus, clickability doesn't work in IE

<jeremy> is that a bug or a feature?

Alistair: 2 options: 1) change default content type to HTML
... consequence, every RDF toolkit must request RDF content
... 2) leave recipes as they are, and don't get clickability in IE
... it's a problem with the recipe, not sure if it's an IE bug or not

<Zakim> jeremy, you wanted to comment on alistair's question

Jeremy: it seems it is good practice to send Accept headers. Question is not whether IE should change (it probably should)
... no good pointing finger at MS in this instance, because this "bug" is shared by semantic web applications, which don't send Accept headers either.
... it's more realistic to expect semweb apps to do the right thing

<dbooth> +1 to Jeremy's comment

Alistair: if there's consensus around Jeremy's suggestion, we can move forward with that.

RalphS: agree with Jeremy that all clients should send Accept headers
... but for purposes of the cookbook, should we suggest a default behavior?
... TF can debate this, whether there should be a recommendation, or whether each ontology owner can decide

Guus: you can also wait for public comments on this
... I would be strongly in favor of publishing this in the next month

Alistair: it is our plan to publish within a month, given resolution on this issue

<RalphS> Alistair: I /me ack me

Alistair: so 1 month is realistic

<Zakim> RalphS, you wanted to comment about default behavior

<Zakim> dbooth, you wanted to second Jeremy's position: HTML is more appropriate for naive users/behavior than RDF

DBooth: Jeremy gave a rationale of installed base for HTML by default. I would also add that HTML is a good response for a naive dereference

<jeremy> +1 to dbooth

DBooth: A semweb is much more likely to knonw what it's doing, thus it is more likely to be able to send the right accept headers
... it is in line with the previous comment, just a different rationale for the same recommendation

<Zakim> jeremy, you wanted to ask if publishing soon would allow response to public feedback?

Jeremy: is the plan to publish soon and republish if we get feedback?
... I would be happy to vote on this now

RalphS: I would take the position to publish soon and expect to update before 1 May

Guus: I would prefer to have this be on the agenda, so next meeting?

<aliman> +1 on ralph's schedule

Guus: this should be on the VM TF telecon to move the issue to WG telecon

RalphS concurs

<guus> q|

<RalphS> I would like the VMTF to plan to be ready to ask for publication approval on 6 Feb

3.6 HTML - Embedding RDF in HTML (Ben)

Ben: we received comment from GaryNG, DBooth, and Pat Hayes

... we've responded to all substantive points

... haven't yet made all edits to the document but have agreed on how we will do those edits

PROPOSED to publish the revised version of the RDF/A Primer as Working Draft

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/HTML/2006-01-15-rdfa-primer

Ben: the only editorial changes we need are to make it conform to WG format

... may need to add a link to Gary and David's comments

Gary: happy with proposed resolutions to comments and to proceed with publishing

DBooth: also happy to proceed to publication

PROPOSED to publish the revised version of the RDF/A Primer as Working Draft with minor editorial changes

3.7 ADTF - Applications and Demos (Libby)

<libby> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-swbp-wg/2006Jan/0104.html

<Zakim> aliman, you wanted to ask quickly what the frag id question is?

RalphS: the path from the WG homepage to the data collected by the TF goes to the wiki
... is that still the best place for it to go? At what point will the other DB be the right place to end up?
... what's the relationship between that wiki and swordfish.rdfweb.org/

Libby: it would be good to move this off the wiki into another document

3.8 RDFTM - RDF/Topic Maps Interoperability (Steve)

... we're looking for last comments to go to fully-fledged note

<jeremy> I confirm

... we should discuss forming of an incubator group on these issues. (missing some comments here)
