14:07:31 [Luc]
thanks, Ivan
14:07:41 [ivan]
Topic: FPWD intro
14:08:11 [sandro]
ivan: RDFa lite. alas, no Manu today.
14:08:41 [sandro]
... you probably heard about the schema.org discussions, happy ending is this simple subset of RDFa
14:09:07 [sandro]
... a few attributes, and some advice to publishers, to stick to these simple attributes for simple things.
14:09:17 [sandro]
... cannot set datatypes or do complex structures
14:09:21 [sandro]
... for simple things it's very simple
14:09:32 [sandro]
... similar complexity to microdata
14:10:07 [sandro]
... schema.org has publically said they will encourage their users to use RDFa lite
14:10:30 [sandro]
... will encourage to the same degree as microdata
14:10:45 [sandro]
davidwood: Alas, that's not actually reflected in their documentation yet.
14:11:20 [Zakim]
+[IPcaller]
14:11:24 [Zakim]
+Tom_Baker (was [IPcaller])
14:12:52 [sandro]
ivan: Goal is for RDFa lite to be its own Recommendation. For people authoring RDFa, it should stand on its own.
14:13:23 [Luc]
Provenance Data Model (prov-dm): http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-dm/
14:13:23 [Ashok_Malhotra]
Jeni Tennison ran a tak force on RDFa and Microdata
14:13:25 [Guus]
about RDFa & schema.org: DanBi is very optimistic, but he suggests not to shout about it yet

14:13:43 [Luc]
Provenance Ontology (prov-o): http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-o/
14:14:06 [sandro]
sandro: prov-o is a mapping of prov data model to OWL 2
14:14:07 [Luc]
Provenance Primer (prov-primer): http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-primer/
14:14:30 [Luc]
Provenance Access and Query (prov-aq): http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-aq/
14:14:57 [sandro]
luc: Once you have obtained a resource, aq tells you how to find out about its provenance.
14:15:11 [sandro]
... including SPARQL querying
14:15:13 [ivan]
q+
14:15:19 [sandro]
ack ivan
14:15:59 [sandro]
ivan: On prov-aq it raises some concern, because there has been a lot of discussion of HTTP protocols, SPARQL REST, Linked Data Platform
14:16:19 [sandro]
... have you checked/seen/sync'd about all that?
14:16:32 [sandro]
... eg in LDP charter, ways to get info about datasets through HTTP.
14:17:08 [sandro]
Luc: I'm aware of HTTP protocol for SPARQL. Not sure about other points.
14:17:34 [sandro]
... it would be useful to get feedback from other WGs
14:17:59 [sandro]
... to see how what we're proposing integrates with other systems
14:18:10 [sandro]
Luc: any specific people
14:18:24 [LeeF]
Sandro is at the nexus of all of this :-D
14:19:04 [sandro]
sandro: I'll probably review at least while I'm en route to Prov F2F
14:19:58 [sandro]
lee: I'll ask the SPARQL group for volunteers to review http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-aq/
14:20:18 [LeeF]
"503 Service Unavailable"
14:20:27 [sandro]
sandro: rdf wg too
14:20:45 [LeeF]
better now
14:20:58 [Zakim]
-Vijay
14:20:58 [sandro]
luc: not the right time yet. we haven't settled our notion of "accounts", which is likely to related to named graphs
14:21:04 [LeeF]
yup
14:22:17 [sandro]
Prov F2F in Amsterdam Feb 2/3.
14:22:24 [ivan]
Topic: Linked Data WG, Workshop
14:22:58 [mhausenblas]
q+ to ask re time line and chairs
14:23:23 [sandro]
ivan: I heard Linked Data Patterns workshop was lively and good
14:23:49 [davidwood]
Linked Enterprise Data Patterns Workshop: http://www.w3.org/2011/09/LinkedData/
14:24:02 [davidwood]
Workshop report: http://www.w3.org/2011/09/LinkedData/Report
14:24:11 [sandro]
ivan: advance notice went to AC that we are working on this.
14:24:15 [ivan]
-> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-members/2011OctDec/0064.html announcement to the AC
14:24:17 [davidwood]
TimBL also attended both days
14:24:44 [ivan]
-> https://www.w3.org/2012/01/ldwg-charter.html very initial charter
14:24:49 [sandro]
ivan: I tried to summarize from the outside what I saw as a possible initial charter
14:25:47 [sandro]
davidwood: Cochairs were Ashok, Arnaud, and myself, with lots of help from EricP
14:25:59 [sandro]
davidwood: Martin Nally, CTO of IBM Rational
14:26:11 [sandro]
david: Brad Allen from Elsevier
14:26:27 [sandro]
... enterprise participation
14:26:46 [sandro]
... theory was that as enterprises began to use Linked Data techniques internally, to solve problems,
14:26:54 [sandro]
... they would fall into same problems/patterns
14:27:04 [sandro]
... 1. data integration
14:27:27 [sandro]
... integration of enterprise software, never meant to work together, but with APIs
14:27:40 [sandro]
... lingua franca without enterprise service bus
14:27:48 [sandro]
... this is what IBM Rational is doing
14:28:02 [sandro]
... others are doing just data integration.
14:28:11 [sandro]
... workshop reports lists some of the useful patterns
14:28:19 [sandro]
... see position papers for the rest
14:28:19 [davidwood]
Workshop papers: http://www.w3.org/2011/09/LinkedData/Papers
14:28:50 [Guus]
Guus has joined #swcg
14:28:57 [LeeF]
auth/auth
14:29:17 [sandro]
davidwood: Eg, how do people do authentication and authorization?
14:29:32 [sandro]
... people are still thinking in their enterprise mentality, not the Web way
14:29:50 [sandro]
... clear exceptions to that, but avg enterprise is mired in older solutions
14:30:24 [sandro]
... once we got to thinking Web way, we got into some patterns about how to update data, separate data from metadata, patch information
14:30:40 [sandro]
... surprosing interest in defining exactly what Linked Data means in an enterprise context
14:30:47 [sandro]
... defining a Minimal Linked Data service
14:31:21 [sandro]
Ashok_Malhotra: What was really wonderful was that we had people there USING linked data to do REAL and complicated things
14:31:28 [davidwood]
+1 to Ashok
14:31:33 [sandro]
... and they were running into some difficulties
14:31:54 [Zakim]
+George
14:31:58 [sandro]
... the IBM folks had come up with some ideas about extending REST, doing different ATOM-linke things with RDF
14:32:22 [davidwood]
IBM also said that DB2 will support RDF "sometime in 2012"
14:32:22 [sandro]
... the feeling was that we ought to be able to look at these patterns, these people's experiences, then codify them. Write them down, to help other people
14:32:33 [mhausenblas]
q?
14:35:08 [sandro]
sandro: It was very exciting to see this RDF+REST as universal API theory finally manifest as real products
14:35:21 [ivan]
ack mhausenblas
14:35:21 [Zakim]
mhausenblas, you wanted to ask re time line and chairs
14:35:23 [sandro]
bern: this should be a keynote at SemTech SF for Martin Nally
14:35:25 [mhausenblas]
Michael: Two remarks and questions re the upcoming LD WG - 1. questions re timeline and chairs, 2. liaison/alignment with http://www.w3.org/community/networked-data/
14:36:56 [bhyland]
Correction: I suggested to Tony that there be a keynote at SemTech West by the three co-chairs from the Linking Enterprise Data Patterns workshop, namely Ashok Malhotra, Arnaud Le Hors (IBM) and Dave Wood.
14:37:27 [sandro]
ivan: prelim timeline is workshop report to come out this week
14:37:28 [bhyland]
Shortly after I suggested this to Tony, I heard Dave & Ashok spoke and Martin Nally has been approached for the keynote
14:37:55 [bhyland]
by Tony presumably.
14:37:56 [sandro]
ivan: Ian Jacobs did an interview with Arnaud, also for publication this week
14:38:21 [sandro]
ivan: when & how consensus on charter?
14:38:44 [sandro]
ivan: possibly to AC by end of month... maybe.... voting takes a month.
14:38:53 [sandro]
ivan: Could potentially start in March.
14:38:54 [sandro]
q+
14:39:13 [mhausenblas]
q?
14:40:00 [ivan]
ack sandro
14:40:47 [sandro]
sandro: Member submission expected from IBM.
14:40:59 [sandro]
ashok: It requires some legal agreements, holding us up.
14:41:22 [sandro]
sandro: So I think Ivan's timeline may be somewhat optimistic given that.
14:41:42 [davidwood]
Networked Data Community Group: http://www.w3.org/community/networked-data/
14:42:56 [sandro]
ivan: This community group is interesting.
14:43:23 [sandro]
ivan: Ideally, my preference would be this CG folks into WG, if the WG materializes
14:43:49 [sandro]
mhausenblas: Makes sense.
14:44:13 [sandro]
ivan: The draft charter should be member visible or public soon
14:44:31 [sandro]
ivan: So this is a time the CG can give us the comments, to make that synergy easier
14:45:44 [sandro]
... on the charter itself, based on my reading of some of the emails, so I'd like feedback about whether this really reflects what was discussed there. feedback, please!
14:45:55 [sandro]
... comments in email are welcome too, of course
14:46:07 [sandro]
Ashok_Malhotra: I have a couple of comments
14:46:23 [Ashok_Malhotra]
"provide a standard environment"
14:46:31 [sandro]
... I think it's a reasonable charter. On thing jumped out at me: "provide a standard environment"
14:46:42 [sandro]
... it sounds like we're building a development envionrment
14:46:50 [mhausenblas]
Michael: One quick comment re the charter ... copy & paste error in section 10: "This charter for the Government Linked Data Working Group ..."
14:46:52 [sandro]
... and we're not. we're just codifying some patterns.
14:47:04 [sandro]
... so "standard environment" is slightly misleading.
14:47:32 [sandro]
... and as David pointed out, one of the big problems we're going after is Application Integration, and that's not here.
14:47:54 [sandro]
ivan: Can one of you guys suggest, soon, some language to help make that clear?
14:48:19 [sandro]
... I learned today that the software integration part is not clear in the charter, and should be made clearer.
14:48:34 [sandro]
... I'm not sure how to exactly formulate that.
14:48:50 [mhausenblas]
q+ to add two comments re the content
14:49:21 [LeeF]
This is my big concern as well!!
14:50:01 [sandro]
... one more thing: I don't want this to crowd out the other Semantic Web work, or to make people concerned that it might
14:50:02 [bhyland]
q+
14:50:04 [ivan]
ack mhausenblas
14:50:04 [Zakim]
mhausenblas, you wanted to add two comments re the content
14:50:05 [mhausenblas]
Michael: re "Define a mechanism for advertizing SPARQL endpoints" ... 1. new HTTP headers are costly, almost impossible to *deploy on the Web*. 2. re SPARQL SD and VoID
14:50:47 [Luc]
q+ to ask if provenance should be mentioned
14:51:11 [sandro]
mhausenblas: I don't see a reason to define a new vocab here...
14:52:27 [mhausenblas]
Michael: http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/CommentResponse:MH-1
14:53:39 [ivan]
ack bhyland
14:53:43 [mhausenblas]
q?
14:53:51 [sandro]
sandro: mhausenblas let's you and I take this off line and see if we can make this service description bit happen within SPARQL.
14:54:06 [mhausenblas]
Michael: I agree and thanks for this, Sandro
14:54:27 [sandro]
bhyland: This WG is about the use of Linked Data in Enterprise, and with Patterns.
14:54:43 [ivan]
q?
14:54:53 [sandro]
bhyland: I associate with "Linked Data" a certain set of stuff, and we don't want to throw all this at them.
14:55:10 [sandro]
bhyland: GLD is very prescriptive, esp on Linked Open Data.
14:55:11 [sandro]
q+
14:55:20 [sandro]
q+ to say "Linked Data Platform"
14:55:56 [sandro]
bhyland: needs to be narrowed down from all of "Linked Data". comm group also very broard.
14:56:36 [sandro]
bhyland: Charter needs some iteration to get the focus clear. Enterprise product managers to be involved.
14:56:37 [ivan]
ace Luc
14:56:38 [LeeF]
FWIW, I thought that at the workshop there was a great deal of non-enterprise linked data stuff (in addition to some enterprise linked data stuff)
14:56:41 [sandro]
ack Luc
14:56:41 [Zakim]
Luc, you wanted to ask if provenance should be mentioned
14:56:51 [sandro]
Luc: Was there any mention of provenance?
14:57:31 [sandro]
luc: Prov WG wont standardize everything; maybe this group needs to do some for Prov with linked data.
14:58:13 [sandro]
davidwood: There was lots of talk, the desire for Prov. Revelytix talk covered it a bit. It would be interesting, but how it fits into the charter isn't clear to me.
14:58:51 [sandro]
luc: I don't have concrete ideas at this stage, but it would be interesting.
14:59:31 [sandro]
ivan: One of the threads of this charter ... (lost)
14:59:39 [ivan]
ack sandro
14:59:39 [Zakim]
sandro, you wanted to say "Linked Data Platform"
15:00:05 [sandro]
luc: rev doing prov-o spec
15:01:11 [sandro]
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/REST
15:01:21 [bhyland]
Sandro: Balancing technical ideas for this proposed group and W3C role. RDF + REST as "universal API", a new version of a distributed object system (without baggage).
15:01:53 [sandro]
sandro: That's my intution for the kind of thing the group should be producing.
15:02:28 [sandro]
ivan: Sandro and I will work on this, going forward.
15:02:51 [sandro]
ivan: When we get to member feedback, we will need a good address list of people we should be sure know about this work,.
15:02:57 [davidwood]
I just mailed the LD WG mailing list noting that we need language for the inclusion of software/application integration: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ldp/2012Jan/0000.html
15:03:22 [sandro]
ivan: If you know of folks who should be involved, be sure to let us know, please.
15:03:38 [bhyland]
What I really like about this proposed group is that it commercial companies solving real complex problems with RDF and RESTful approach. Very cool. Congrats to all that attended & are moving this forward :-)
15:04:02 [sandro]
