Arnaud2 has joined #shapes
18:11:15 [pfps]
arnaud: ISSUE-85 may already be resolved, but let's do the usual thing
18:11:19 [Arnaud2]
PROPOSED: Open ISSUE-85, ISSUE-86, ISSUE-87, ISSUE-88, ISSUE-89
18:11:28 [pfps]
arnaud: any problems with opening these five issues
18:11:59 [Arnaud2]
RESOLVED: Open ISSUE-85, ISSUE-86, ISSUE-87, ISSUE-88, ISSUE-89
18:12:26 [pfps]
arnaud: ISSUE-85 is about the definition of XOR and Holger already has a solution
18:12:57 [pfps]
holger: XOR is generally defined as an odd number of true values, so I've applied that change
18:13:03 [pfps]
pfps: that's fine by me

q+
18:16:16 [Arnaud]
ack pfps
18:16:30 [aryman]
I am looking at http://w3c.github.io/data-shapes/shacl/#xor
18:16:53 [pfps]
pfps: XOR is defined as odd number so that it works right
18:17:08 [pfps]
eric: I don't think that any one wants XOR
18:17:38 [pfps]
holger: the editor's draft has the odd number definition
18:18:02 [ericP]
propose to drop it
18:18:16 [pfps]
holger: I implemented XOR the way that it seemed more useful, but changed it to match the namme
18:18:23 [pfps]
q+
18:18:33 [Arnaud]
ack pfps
18:18:48 [pfps]
pfps: I'm not sure what good one of is
18:19:17 [pfps]
pfps: I see XOR as being more useful than one of
18:19:47 [pfps]
arthur: is there any use case for XOR with more than two arguments?
18:19:59 [ericP]
PROPOSAL: drop XOR constraint
18:20:10 [pfps]
arnaud: I was hoping that this would be quick
18:20:20 [pfps]
arnaud: holger modified the definition to match the name
18:20:33 [pfps]
arnaud: but now the interest is in one of
18:20:43 [pfps]
arnaud: there are two possible operations - xor and one of
18:21:13 [pfps]
arnaud: at least now the name is correct for the definition
18:21:35 [pfps]
arnaud: we could close ISSUE-85 based on the current draft
18:21:54 [aryman]
q+
18:22:03 [pfps]
arnaud: then there could be a new issue to determine whether to keep XOR and replace with one of
18:22:05 [Arnaud]
ack aryman
18:22:42 [pfps]
arthur: there was a one of from ShEx. I assume that this was mistranslated to XOR
18:22:58 [pfps]
arthur: so why keep it?
18:23:24 [pfps]
arnaud: so if the current definition of XOR is not useful, then raise an issue
18:24:31 [ericP]
q+ to say that i'm happy to drop XOR and oneOf
18:24:34 [pfps]
arthur: technically all we need is the binary versions of the booleans
18:24:54 [Arnaud]
ack ericP
18:24:54 [Zakim]
ericP, you wanted to say that i'm happy to drop XOR and oneOf
18:24:57 [ericP]
or replace them with COUNT* or MD5SUM
18:25:14 [pfps]
eric: I'm happy to have neither XOR nor one of
18:25:27 [pfps]
arnaud: how about dropping XOR
18:25:27 [hsolbrig]
I'm happy to see it go
18:25:32 [ericP]
PROPOSAL: drop XOR constraint
18:25:46 [Arnaud]

topic: SHACL spec
18:28:20 [pfps]
arnaud: holger implemented the resolutions from the F2F
18:28:29 [pfps]
arnaud: pfps reviewed it
18:28:44 [pfps]
arnaud: let's hear from holger if there any more edits planned
18:29:04 [pfps]
holger: no more significant edits planned, except for removing XOR
18:29:24 [pfps]
holger: let's publish
18:29:55 [pfps]
pfps: progress is being made
18:30:18 [pfps]
pfps: I think that the role of SPARQL needs to be clarified before FPWD publication
18:30:39 [pfps]
pfps: I haven't had a chance to look at Holger's recent edits
18:31:04 [pfps]
holger: I added a section of relationship between SPARQL and SHACL
18:31:25 [pfps]
q+
18:31:29 [Arnaud]
ack pfps
18:32:18 [pfps]
pfps: the other big issue concerns violations in embedded constraints and shapes - currently it appears that a violation under a negation would be reported back and cause failure
18:33:23 [pfps]
holger: is this about infinite recursion?
18:33:43 [pfps]
pfps: no, this is not about infinite recursion
18:35:05 [pfps]
pfps: right now the document implies that any constraint violation is reported back directly even if it is inside an or or a not
18:35:54 [pfps]
holger: I added something to clarify this concerning temporary reporting
18:36:24 [pfps]
arthur: this appears to be very implementation specific
18:36:43 [pfps]
holger: how should I then describe the situation?
18:37:03 [pfps]
q+
18:37:18 [pfps]
ack pfps
18:37:39 [pfps]
pfps: I'll try to give the document another read to see if this has been fixed
18:38:37 [pfps]
arnaud: peter, are there more problems
18:39:25 [pfps]
pfps: I had several comments, really only the first two need to be completely address before FPWD publication
18:39:37 [pfps]
pfps: the others, although significant, can be handled later
18:39:53 [pfps]
q-

Arnaud1 has joined #shapes
18:40:17 [pfps]
arnaud: that's rather encouraging
18:40:34 [pfps]
pfps: this is *not* a ringing endorsement of the document, however :-)
18:41:01 [pfps]
holger: what needs to be done before FPWD publication
18:41:45 [pfps]
arnaud: is it possible to be done with the edits by the end of the week?
18:41:48 [pfps]
q+
18:42:10 [pfps]
holger: the last change can be done today
18:42:21 [Arnaud1]
ack pfps
18:42:45 [pfps]
pfps: I haven't had a chance to look at the current version of the document
18:43:01 [pfps]
arnaud: so let's review the document for next week
18:43:20 [pfps]
holger: the diffs give a good notion of what had changed
18:43:49 [pfps]
arnaud: holger - please announce when you have done with your most recent changed
18:44:10 [pfps]
arnaud: next week there will be an attempt to go to FPWD

ISSUE-75 -- How to distinguish constraint violations from errors -- open
18:44:24 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/2014/data-shapes/track/issues/75
18:44:51 [pfps]
arnaud: ISSUE-75 concerns the difference between violation reporting and run-time errors

18:45:28 [aryman]

pfps: works for me

18:46:11 [pfps]
arnaud: there is an issue about the results vocabulary - ISSUE-51
18:46:19 [Arnaud1]
ack pfps
18:46:31 [pfps]
arnaud: ISSUE-75 was how to distinguish between violations and errors
18:46:45 [pfps]
pfps: the F2F resolution solves ISSUE-75

PROPOSED: Close ISSUE-75 with F2F resolution "limit reporting to validation results, and not include runtime errors"
18:46:52 [pfps]

18:47:11 [aryman]

18:48:22 [pfps]
ISSUE-83
18:48:22 [trackbot]
ISSUE-83 -- How should multiple definitions of sh:qualifiedValueShape of a property constraint be treated? -- open
18:48:22 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/2014/data-shapes/track/issues/83
18:49:09 [pfps]
arnaud: unfortuantely Simon is not here
18:49:12 [pfps]
q+
18:49:29 [Arnaud1]
ack pfps
18:49:33 [pfps]
pfps: my understanding is that this is not valid syntax
18:50:38 [pfps]
pfps: somewhere there is wording to the effect that there can be only one of each of the bits of a property constraint
18:51:24 [pfps]
The following sections provide details on the properties that may be used with sh:PropertyConstraint. None of these properties can be repeated within the same sh:PropertyConstraint. In order to define multiple constraints using the same property, such as multiple sh:hasValue constraints, the shape must use multiple sh:property definitions.
18:51:29 [Arnaud]
Arnaud has joined #shapes
18:51:35 [Arnaud]
q?
18:51:40 [pfps]
pfps: I just pasted the relevant part of the spec
18:52:00 [pfps]
holger: syntactically invalid
18:52:11 [aryman]
None of these properties can be repeated within the same sh:PropertyConstraint
18:52:25 [pfps]
arnaud: is everyone happy with that

Dq+
18:52:34 [Arnaud]
ack pfps
18:53:19 [aryman]
q+
18:53:22 [pfps]
pfps: if anyone wants to have multiples they have to come up with a syntax that works in the RDFS encoding
18:53:54 [pfps]
eric: how does this look from a user perspective?
18:56:31 [Arnaud]
ack aryman
18:56:36 [pfps]
pfps: the motivation is that graphs don't have parenthesis - you need something to separate them - that's currently done by having multiple property constraints
18:56:44 [pfps]
eric: OK
18:57:04 [pfps]
arthur: what about multi-occurence of properties
18:57:16 [pfps]
eric: that's needed (and different)
18:57:36 [pfps]
arthur: what about allowedValues
18:57:38 [pfps]
eric: that works
18:58:03 [pfps]
arthur: it doesn't make sense to have two minCount
18:58:29 [pfps]
arthur: the syntax for qualified value shapes appears to be bad language design
18:58:57 [pfps]
arthur: I think that the language would be better if there was a way to have multiple qualified value shapes on the same property constraint
18:59:26 [pfps]
arthur: so iSSUE-83 is about fixing the language design

18:59:32 [Arnaud]
ack hknublau
19:00:10 [pfps]
holger: allowing multiple qualified value shapes is a significant change to the syntax
19:00:35 [pfps]
holger: the current design is uniform
19:00:54 [pfps]
arthur: ... use case ...
19:01:01 [Arnaud]
ack pfps
19:01:03 [pfps]
arnaud: simon put in an example
19:01:55 [pfps]
pfps: so if one wanted to "fix" the syntax, then there are lots of fixes that I think should be put in, starting with not have omnibus property constraints, which just cause problems (although they look nice)
19:02:39 [pfps]
pfps: right now you could have a single property constraint with pieces
19:02:58 [pfps]
arnaud: if anyone wants a syntax change, then propose that directly
19:03:38 [pfps]
arnaud: the particular issue at hand is about the (current) treatment of multiple qualified value shapes
19:03:57 [pfps]
arnaud: if anyone thinks that there needs to be a change to the syntax, then propose the change

19:08:33 [pfps]
arthur: you need multiple property constraints, each one with a qualified cardinality shape
19:08:40 [pfps]
holger: correct
19:09:06 [Arnaud]
RESOLVED: Close ISSUE-83, the specification says this is actually invalid syntax in section 3.1 https://w3c.github.io/data-shapes/shacl/#constraints-property (note that the same result can however be achieved using multiple property constraints)

19:10:42 [pfps]
holger: we had touched upon the results vocabulary, so let's consider ISSUE-51

19:11:09 [trackbot]
ISSUE-51 -- What types of validation results should be returned -- open
19:11:09 [trackbot]

ack kcoyle
19:12:44 [pfps]
pfps: I think that the issue can be closed, but I see that others may need to take a look
19:13:20 [pfps]
kcoyle: can we have a summary of the design
19:13:23 [Arnaud]
https://w3c.github.io/data-shapes/shacl/#results
19:13:30 [aryman]
the draft still uses sh:Error instead of sh:Violation
19:13:40 [pfps]
holger: there is a single class for validation results, with a severity property, with three values
19:13:57 [pfps]
holger: the other fields give details on the result
19:14:45 [pfps]
holger: the difference is dropping the other stuff - implementations can extend as necessary
19:14:51 [Arnaud]
ack aryman
19:15:18 [pfps]
arthur: my preference is to use violation instead of error for the severity level
19:15:27 [pfps]
arnaud: so information, warning, and violation
19:15:31 [pfps]
arthur: yes
19:15:45 [pfps]
holger: that's not how other frameworks do it
19:16:01 [pfps]
arthur: this is not a log, it is a validation report
19:16:29 [pfps]

19:21:10 [pfps]
arthur: inheritance in templates is encoded as rdfs:subClassOf
19:21:13 [pfps]
holger: right
19:22:11 [pfps]
arthur: subtemplates can add arguments, ancestor templates are validated first and descendant templates later
19:22:39 [pfps]
arthur: this is using rdfs:subClassOf in a way different from that in RDFS

holger: changing this is a big change and I don't think that we need to change it
19:24:56 [pfps]
arnaud: the fact that it has been there since day 1 does not mean that it cannot be questioned
19:25:16 [Arnaud]

arthur: I think that the design makes sense for OO programming, but from an RDFS point of view there does not seem to be any use for a node whose type is a template
19:26:01 [pfps]
holger: I really don't see any problem
19:26:22 [pfps]
arthur: the use of classes in RDFS is that they classify resources, if it doesn't then it is not a class
19:26:24 [kcoyle]
I think Arthur is on to something - much here seems to be very OO
19:26:27 [ericP]
+1
19:26:46 [pfps]
holger: we could always use nodeShape and not use rdfs:subClassOf
19:27:45 [pfps]
arthur: template inheritance should use a different mechanism
19:28:02 [pfps]
holger: I think that the use is consistent with RDFS
19:28:07 [pfps]
arthur: where are the instances
19:28:38 [pfps]
holger: when you say that something is a closed shape then you make the shape an instance of ClosedShape
19:28:42 [pfps]

19:29:04 [pfps]
arthur: when you use the templates that's an instance of the template class
19:29:25 [Arnaud]
ack pfps
19:29:48 [pfps]
pfps: holger is talking about templates as instances of classes, but the issue is about instances of templates, which is completely different
19:32:11 [pfps]
pfps: an analogy would be homo sapiens - it can be considered to be an instance of species - it can also be considered to be the class of humans - these two relationships are completely different
19:32:39 [pfps]
arnaud: this is worth future discussion
19:32:50 [pfps]
arthur: I might open an issue on this
