Topic: ENs work on using standard URIs
16:30:37 [Ashok]
http://esw.w3.org/topic/Rdb2RdfXG/ReusableIdentifier
16:32:11 [Ashok]
Themis discusses OKKAM work
16:33:04 [AxelPolleres]
Is there a link for ENS?
16:35:55 [AxelPolleres]
So, it is not yet there... I suggest then to reword "The Entity Name System (ENS) is a web-scale system for assigning and managing unique identifiers to entities in the WWW" to "The Entity Name System (ENS) is a planned web-scale system for assigning and managing unique identifiers to entities in the WWW that is worked upon in the OKKAM project."
16:37:06 [Ashok]
Ashok: How do you find URIs in this database?
16:37:18 [Ashok]
Themis: It's like a web search
16:38:34 [Zakim]

16:38:46 [Ashok]
Ashok: Looks like it requies a human being?
16:38:56 [Ashok]
Themis: No, not always

16:44:04 [Ashok]
Axel: How far is this ENS currently?
16:44:15 [Ashok]
Axel: It's a good idea
16:45:48 [Ashok]
Themis: We have a prototype with all the geoloactions, people, etc.
16:46:03 [Ashok]
We are adding protien identifiers.
16:46:19 [Ashok]
Expect a public prototype early next year
16:46:47 [Ashok]
Ahmed: Asks about primary key
16:47:27 [Ashok]
Themis: Not a close relation with primary key
16:48:34 [Ashok]
Themis: Need to formulate a query with relevant information
16:49:43 [Ashok]
Juan: If you get more than 1 result what do yiu do?
16:50:18 [Ashok]
Themis: Needs human intervention. We have some ideas for resolving such conflicts
16:52:34 [AxelPolleres]
Except best practices, what is it what you aim at standardising here at this point? I believe in ENS being a useful tool here, but how does it fit in a standardised RDB2RDF pipeline, i.e. what is the action/potential for W3C in general and RDB2RDF in particular at this point?
16:53:18 [Ashok]
Ashok: Good question, Axel!
16:53:39 [Ashok]
I see it as a facility that can be used as part of the mapping process.
16:53:53 [Ashok]
I do not see it as part of the standard
16:54:02 [AxelPolleres]
Does it mean that RDB2RDF can generate any RDF and ENS couls be used to "repair" the generated RDF or should ENS be directly in the pipeline?
16:54:57 [Ashok]
I need to think about that
17:01:36 [Ashok]
Discussion about how ENs would be used in the mapping
17:01:57 [Ashok]
Jenny: Another usecase
17:02:16 [Ashok]
Ashok: I'm think of this as a helper function
17:02:47 [AxelPolleres]
a helper function which could be ENS, or any other service, could be invoked in the mapping process... I think that we would only need to provide a "hook" for that.
