16:15:40 [TimCole]
azaroth: linked doc outlines methods for making faster progress (as compared to this summer)
16:15:53 [TimCole]
... try to take issues more breadth rather than too much depth
16:16:27 [TimCole]
... so we can move on issues that we can get consensus, rather than getting stuck on smaller issues that on which we can't get consensus
16:16:38 [TimCole]
... will support more incremental decisions
16:16:53 [TimCole]
... so we will try to stay to 15 minutes per issue
16:16:59 [shepazu]
q+
16:17:11 [TimCole]
... if consensus, great, if not keep on stack for revisiting in the future.

shepazu: 15 minutes to discuss the issue on the call, assume that we will have conversations on github and the list before issue comes to call for 15 minutes
16:18:06 [sinancan]
sinancan has joined #annotation
16:18:17 [TimCole]
... is this what you are proposing? Or do issues go immediately to call once raised on github
16:18:51 [TimCole]
azaroth: the former - we should continue to have conversations outside the calls and then quickly finalize consensus on the call when ready
16:19:12 [TimCole]
... as much consensus as possible off-call before bringing to the call
16:19:58 [TimCole]
shepazu: since W3C is doing more asynchronously, we should be sure to call out each decision on list or github rather than relying solely on minutes.
16:20:21 [TimCole]
azaroth: any other comments for or against?
16:20:33 [TimCole]
no one raised their hands
16:20:46 [azaroth]
q?
16:20:58 [TimCole]
azaroth: So, hearing no further comments, we should try this new and improved practice.
16:21:40 [azaroth]
proposed RESOLUTION: We will endeavor to confirm consensus around github issues in at most 15 minute timeboxed discussions on calls, per https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-annotation/2015Nov/0088.html

Topic: Spliting annotation model into 2 parts
16:23:35 [azaroth]
Link: https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/97
16:23:52 [TimCole]
azaroth: Web Annotation and Web-annotation-model, was discussed at TPAC
16:24:31 [TimCole]
... issue raised was that specs aren't satisfying to people interested only in JSON implementation nor to those focused on RDF/linked data and ontologies
16:24:48 [TimCole]
... so we looked at approach being used by Social WG re Activity Streams
16:25:09 [fjh]
q+
16:25:15 [TimCole]
... they also want to make sure their outputs are useful to both communities
16:25:54 [shepazu]
q+
16:26:19 [TimCole]
... another advantage (suggested by Ivan) currently we have one doc that includes Turtle and JSON-LD, for testing would be helpful for testing to separate
16:26:28 [azaroth]
q?
16:26:31 [azaroth]
ack fjh
16:26:40 [TimCole]
fjh: confused about 2 things
16:27:02 [TimCole]
... would model and serialization still be in one document or would they be separate?
16:27:23 [TimCole]
... which terms would appear only in one, which in both?
16:27:34 [tilgovi]
+0
16:27:42 [TimCole]
azaroth: Web annotation is just about JSON serialization and would have to include structure
16:28:10 [TimCole]
... second document would describe the ontoogy -- all of our terms and terms from other vocabs on which we rely
16:28:18 [PaoloCiccarese]
q+
16:28:36 [TimCole]
fjh: the model doc would be the RDF and not have JSON?
16:28:37 [azaroth]
ack shepazu
16:28:43 [TimCole]
azaroth: basically yes
16:29:13 [fjh]
ok, so we would have a stand-alone JSON-LD document + a model document similar to what we have now (with some JSON-LD removed)
16:29:19 [TimCole]
shepazu: I think I am in favor of this and this addresses a long-standing concern, but need to see how this will look before confirming that I'm in favor of it
16:29:58 [fjh]
q+
16:30:00 [bigbluehat]
https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/pull/99 has progress toward this document split
16:30:04 [TimCole]
... need to see to make sure something doesn't get left out, e.g., don't want to have to look in both docs to know that you are a conforming [JSON] implementation
16:30:28 [TimCole]
... want to make sure that the conformance issues are all addressed in one document
16:30:52 [TimCole]
... 2nd would like to revisit the naming of the documents, Web annotation doesn't seem specific enough
16:31:27 [fjh]
why not "Web Annotation Model" and "JSON-LD Web Annotation Serialization"
16:31:32 [TimCole]
... Web annotation might sound too broad. Need to communicate easily.
16:31:47 [TimCole]
azaorth: Annotation Model and Annotation Vocabulary?
16:31:54 [azaroth]
q?
16:31:57 [TimCole]
shepazu: seems in the right direction
16:32:04 [fjh]
is vocabuary code for "RDF stuff"?
16:32:11 [azaroth]
fjh: yep :)
16:32:13 [azaroth]
ack PaoloCiccarese
16:32:40 [TimCole]
paoloCiccarese: kind of like model and vocabulary, thought model will include some vocabulary
16:32:59 [TimCole]
... the connection between the two docs is going to have be the @context
16:33:23 [TimCole]
... how do you talk about the @context in model when the terms in the @context are in the vocabulary?
16:34:20 [TimCole]
shepazu: Web annotation model need to include terms we expect to see in the JSON, we can still mention the @context in the Model and say see Vocabulary spec for more details about the terminology
16:34:24 [tilgovi]
If the model still needs to define the space, I don't think it can really exist without vocabulary terms in it. They'll have to be words about targets and bodies and susch. But I guess it doesn't need tables of definitions, CamelCaseClassNames and namespaces?
16:34:48 [TimCole]
... so we have some normative vocabulary in the Model document, but make it concrete and complete in the Vocabulary spec.
16:34:51 [fjh]
q?
16:34:55 [TimCole]
... would this approach work?
16:35:09 [TimCole]
... we might need to look at the specs to figure this out
16:35:19 [azaroth]
ack fjh
16:35:37 [TimCole]
azaroth: Propose that the editors make progress on splitting and then bring back for further discussion and refinement
16:35:41 [fjh]
q+
16:36:08 [azaroth]
ack fjh
16:36:14 [TimCole]
paolo: We could just not say much or anything at all about @context in the Model, and talk about @context in the Vocabulary
16:36:33 [TimCole]
fjh: I think this could get hopelessly confusing
16:37:04 [TimCole]
... maybe we need 3 docs: Model, JSON serialization doc, RDF doc to explain all the concerns for RDF audience
16:37:15 [PaoloCiccarese]
q+
16:37:18 [TimCole]
... leaving any vocabulary out of the Model seems a problems.
16:37:49 [TimCole]
shepazu: I think we are talking about much the same thing, but we have differences in exactly how to split out
16:38:01 [alperkaratepe]
alperkaratepe has joined #annotation
16:38:17 [TimCole]
... one issue would be how to talk about how we connect with / use outside vocabularies

16:38:34 [azaroth]

16:38:37 [TimCole]
... but let's make a resolution to let the editors propose something concrete
16:38:50 [fjh]
q-
16:38:59 [TimCole]
fjh: if the editors can do a couple of sections that might be enough to make concrete
16:39:46 [TimCole]
paolo: as a developer, if I look at the model and I see JSON, it wouldn't be a problem not to know why the provenance pattern is the way it is, that's okay with me as a developer
16:40:00 [azaroth]
proposed RESOLUTION: Editors to generate sketch of the split specs for further discussion
16:40:02 [TimCole]

q-
16:44:17 [TimCole]
azaroth: Idea is to give Social time to come up with something, but we don't want to be locked / blocked. If they can't do this by our need date, we'll create our own micro-ontology for now

shepazu: This seems reasonable, and Social WG at TPAC seemed to see this as reasonable
16:46:44 [TimCole]
... but has the Annotation WG told the Social WG what our requirements are? Have we written these down (even informally)?
16:46:57 [TimCole]
... maybe we should include in the proposed action?

+1 to sharing with Social WG the needs and time frame
16:47:13 [TimCole]
... I haven't found an exact definition of what we need from Social.
16:47:38 [TimCole]
azaroth: we have discussed, and they've been good about accommodating our needs
16:48:20 [TimCole]
... I have talked with James S. about adding a language attribute, but they have a slightly different use, so may not be able to have language in their model in a way we can use
16:48:30 [TimCole]
... no conflict, just less aligned
16:48:52 [TimCole]
... but yes, what we are missing is an articulation of the exact requirement
16:49:19 [TimCole]
... to some degree these are administrative, e.g., do we need them at CR level by March
16:49:45 [TimCole]
shepazu: I think more important to clarify the exact technical requirements, can we write this down?
16:50:20 [azaroth]
q?
16:50:23 [TimCole]
azaroth: We have been talking more on their turf, so yes we should write down and make visible from our side
16:50:26 [azaroth]
ack fjh
16:50:57 [TimCole]
fjh: Along similar line, did azaroth get a sense of their current timeline
16:51:18 [TimCole]
azaroth: not really, Social didn't meet at TPAC, we talked to chairs
16:51:47 [TimCole]
... Social WG has a f2f in December in San Fran and azaroth has joined and plans to attend f2f
16:51:56 [TimCole]
... this will help get a better sense of their timeline.
16:52:27 [TimCole]
... Rob & Benjamin should write up the points of alignment, bring back to Annotation call, then to Social
16:52:28 [fjh]
this should help greatly, thanks Rob
16:53:25 [TimCole]
shepazu: my sense at TPAC is there is not yet agreement within Social as to whether they will be able to meet timeline
16:53:59 [TimCole]
azaroth: my sense from their calls is that they have a strong divide also along the JSON / RDF-linked data lines
16:54:45 [TimCole]
... James S. has had some success in finding the points of consensus, and so I am helpful that AS will get to the point we need, other Social deliverables less clear
