They are in the process of modifying the ontology, the examples and the document.

If we release 2 approaches, interoperability is going to be an issue! 15:34:56 <GK> pgroth: I think we need to pick one: (1) for interoperability, (2) avoinding confusion, keeping things easy to explain 15:35:03 <tlebo> q+ 15:35:07 <tlebo> q- 15:35:17 <pgroth> ack pgroth 15:35:21 <GK> ... two ways of modelling same thing shouldn't happen. 15:35:23 <smiles> @pgroth agreed 15:35:33 <dgarijo> @paul:+1 15:35:36 <tlebo> q+ to say that EntityInRole is part of the new design proposal (it includes it's more direct alternative, too). 15:36:08 <pgroth> +q 15:36:16 <dgarijo> @tlebo: no, entityInRole is the concept we decided to drop on monday. 15:36:33 <dgarijo> @tlebo: and replace it with Usage, Generation, Control. 15:36:58 <Paolo> +q 15:37:12 <GK> satya: commenting on modelling alternatives - given preferebnce for n-ary approach, don't see how this can be avoided. 15:37:23 <tlebo> we're just renaming the same design pattern, and including the ability to state it directly AND indirectly. 15:37:35 <GK> luc: I don't think either approach introduces more instances 15:38:02 <tlebo> +1 GK 15:38:15 <Paolo> @Satya: I tried to make it clear that my comment was not putting one approach against the other -- it was rather provocatively on the OWL/RDF mapping in general 15:38:17 <dgarijo> @tlebo: what we are doing is stoping EntityInRole from being a subclass of Entity. 15:38:22 <GK> luc: my objection was to introducing (classes) not in PROV-DM 15:38:42 <Paolo> +q 15:38:55 <pgroth> queue 15:39:12 <Luc> ack GK 15:39:12 <Zakim> GK, you wanted to ask about taking on board Ivan's comments about complexity 15:39:16 <GK> satya: can you show how extra nodes don't need to be added for OPMO 15:39:55 <GK> tim: don't see this as a contention, but new design that subsume's. Can use either direct or indirect approach 15:39:56 <Luc> ack tl 15:39:56 <Zakim> tlebo, you wanted to say that EntityInRole is part of the new design proposal (it includes it's more direct alternative, too). 15:40:55 <GK> pgroth: primer people are saying entityinrole is difficult to describe. We need one way to model. 15:41:04 <GK> ... would like to see this written down 15:41:38 <Luc> ack pg 15:42:20 <GK> satya: I am not clear about several issues relating to the alternative approach 15:42:40 <GK> pgroth: stephan and tim have clear idea about what needs to be done 15:42:49 <zednik> q+ 15:42:58 <Luc> ack pao 15:43:00 <dgarijo> +1 to ultimate approach 15:43:12 <GK> satya: will not have two approaches, just the alternative approach 15:43:25 <zednik> q- 15:43:41 <pgroth> but that's rdf :-) 15:43:51 <Luc> q? 15:43:52 <Paolo> The EntityInRole approach has 19 nodes, about as many properties, and 3 new OWL classes 15:44:32 <Luc> q? 15:45:02 <tlebo> (the new "Usage, Generation, Control" qualifications of prov:used are subclasses of EntityInRole, but we won't be saying naming EntityInRole or asserting the subclass axioms.) 15:45:15 <Luc> q? 15:45:16 <tlebo> s/saying// 15:45:18 <GK> paolo: node count shouldn't be used as argument for one approach over the other (?) 15:45:46 <GK> Luc: one approach or two? 15:46:08 <GK> Satya: one approach. New proposed approach, to be included when details are clear 15:46:33 <GK> Luc: when will PROV-O document be finalized? 15:46:36 <tlebo> regarding EntityInRole: we are just renaming it AND permitting "more direct" ways to state less qualified usages. 15:47:05 <GK> ... i.e. available for WG review 15:47:11 <zednik> @tlebo, but the semantics of Usage are different than the semantics of EntityInRole were 15:47:22 <dgarijo> @tim: but we are not just renaming it. EntityInRole is no longer a subclass of an Entity! 15:47:26 <GK> Satya: modelling changes will take time to work through 15:47:55 <GK> Satya: new editorial workover in a couple of days. Modelling changes will take longer. 15:48:32 <dgarijo> @tlebo: if not, then the issues with double usages and new entity creation for the uses are still there. 15:48:47 <tlebo> @dgarijo, I'm indifferent to whether EntityInRole is a subclass of Entity, it's fine to relax it. 15:49:26 <zednik> I think there is less agreement than was earlier assumed 15:49:34 <Luc> q? 15:49:37 <GK> Luc: worried that rest of author team doesn't seem to agree with new approach 15:49:43 <jcheney> +q 15:50:29 <GK> Satya: can we have another separate call today or tomorrow to work this out. 15:50:42 <tlebo> q+ to say we aren't disagreeing too much. 15:50:49 <GK> Luc: we need you to reach a decision and give the rest of us something to review 15:51:03 <Luc> q? 15:51:25 <GK> Satya: will need some time to come up with missing parts not in OPMO/OWL 15:51:28 <dgarijo> @telbo: you are saying that EntityInRole being a subclass on an Entity is indiferent. It changes everything. 15:51:29 <Luc> ack jc 15:52:14 <GK> jc: idea was raised as a thought experiment 15:52:17 <tlebo> @dgarigo, stop scaring @luc :-) 15:52:41 <tlebo> s/go/jo/ 15:53:06 <GK> ... subgroup doesn't necessarily agree, but if we can forge consensus that one approach is good enough to put out for review and comment, this would be a way forward 15:53:21 <dgarijo> @tlebo: ok, but I just thought we had an agreement after the other day's telecon. I'm ok about having a telecon afterwards though. 15:53:38 <Luc> q? 15:53:43 <GK> tlebo: not so much disagreeing, just ... converging on new direction? 15:54:10 <tlebo> apologies for making it look like we are disagreeing. 15:54:11 <GK> Luc: team will continue work on document, make it available to WG ASAP 15:54:12 <Luc> ack tl 15:54:12 <Zakim> tlebo, you wanted to say we aren't disagreeing too much. #15:54:27 <Luc> topic: paq document 15:54:29 <GK> Topic: PAQ document <luc>Summary: the editors are planning to have a version ready for internal review next week. 15:55:35 <GK> pgroth: about same as couple of weeks ago.
