17:08:25 [pchampin]
gkellogg: re. selection of editors, there are also mechanical bits to setup
17:08:35 [remiceres]
present+
17:08:49 [pchampin]
... there are many specifications, present on Mercurial (link above)
17:08:55 [ora]
q?
17:08:58 [gkellogg]
q-
17:09:39 [pchampin]
ora: what do we need to do to create some kind of editor's draft?

ack pchampin
17:11:00 [gkellogg]
q+ to suggest we really need to update the RDF specs that are out there.
17:11:13 [pchampin]
pchampin: the charter says we are going to publisg several recommendations
17:11:17 [ora]
ack gkellogg
17:11:17 [Zakim]
gkellogg, you wanted to suggest we really need to update the RDF specs that are out there.
17:11:17 [pchampin]
... but we can decide to change this.
17:11:46 [pchampin]
... They are mapped on the RDF 1.1 and SPARQL 1.1 specs, so it make sense.
17:11:52 [ora]
q+
17:12:01 [gkellogg]
ack me
17:12:02 [pchampin]
... Also the CG report is built as a "patch" of those existing specifications.
17:12:30 [pchampin]
gkellogg: it makes sense to keep the recommentations -- if someone mentions the Turtle spec, it has to still be there
17:13:02 [pchampin]
ora: how do we proceed to create a new version of each spec?
17:13:08 [csarven]
q+
17:13:13 [ora]
ack ora
17:13:17 [pchampin]
... do they all have to go through the heavy process of being updated?
17:13:20 [TallTed]
q+
17:13:31 [ora]
ack csarven
17:13:58 [pchampin]
csarven: I don't think that al the specs will eventually need a next version.
17:14:21 [pchampin]
... Having 2 editors min per spec is a way to keep the work running, in my experience.
17:14:56 [pchampin]
... As for the release, any version that we have right now could be turned into an editor's draft.
17:15:09 [pchampin]
... The FIrst Public Working Draft is not expected to be already mature.
17:15:15 [pchampin]
q+
17:15:37 [pchampin]
... This is just the version that we are starting with.
17:15:41 [ora]
ack TallTed
17:16:02 [pchampin]
TallTed: unfortunately, I think that all the documents need to be updated as a batch.
17:16:12 [ora]
q+
17:16:23 [pchampin]
... SPARQL 1.1 is aligned with RDF 1.0, and there are similar disconnections in the stack of documents.
17:16:36 [pchampin]
... This is causing problems in the real world.
17:16:48 [pchampin]
... We have the power to fix this, we should.
17:17:20 [pchampin]
... It might need that we call them 2.0 rather than 1.2, as there will be breaking changes.

q+
17:17:45 [pchampin]
pchampin: +1 to csarven and TallTed
17:18:03 [gkellogg]
q+
17:18:20 [ora]
ack ktk
17:18:22 [gtw]
q+ to note that the charter says we'll roll editorial errata into the new specs.
17:18:26 [pchampin]
ora: I'm not opposed to that, but my worry is that there will be demands to update other parts of these documents, that are not related to RDF-star.
17:18:48 [TallTed]
I think that pandora's box is already open, and pretending that it's opened at the back (where we can't see) will do no-one any favors in the end.
17:18:55 [ora]
q+
17:19:04 [ora]
ack olaf
17:19:05 [pchampin]
ktk: what would be the "RDF-star spec" once we update all the other ones?
17:19:40 [pchampin]
olaf: back to what csarven said earlier: I don't think it is as easy to start with the existing specs,
17:19:55 [ora]
q?
17:19:58 [pchampin]
... because they are not using ReSpec, and we probably want to start with ReSpec documents.
17:20:05 [ora]
ack gkellogg
17:20:05 [csarven]
I meant content-wise not formatting.
17:20:17 [pchampin]
gkellogg: I believe they are in ReSpec, but a very old form of ReSpec.
17:20:32 [pchampin]
... We could automate the process.
17:20:56 [pchampin]
... Re 2.0 vs 1.2, I'm not aware of any breaking changes that the CG report introduces.
17:21:19 [pchampin]
... We will also need to include errata, one of them is important for the RCH WG (about canonical N-Quads).
17:21:48 [pchampin]
... Re the pressure to do new things: that would require us to update the charter.
17:22:08 [pchampin]
... We might accept to do that once the RDF-star part is ready, but not before.
17:22:18 [ora]
ack gtw
17:22:18 [Zakim]
gtw, you wanted to note that the charter says we'll roll editorial errata into the new specs.
17:23:26 [pchampin]
gtw: agree with TallTed: once we are at updating the specs, we need to fix those inconsistencies
17:23:52 [ora]
ack ora
17:23:52 [pchampin]
... It's important to find alignment in these specs as we are touching them.
17:24:14 [gtw]
gtw: some of that alignment falls under the charter item regarding addressing errata
17:24:28 [pchampin]
ora: I like how the SPARQL spec and others are organized: overview, then a list of different specs
17:24:39 [gkellogg]
+1 to an overview document, and specs should probably refer to each other, as SPARQL does.
17:25:08 [pchampin]
... We should break up what lies ahed into parts;
17:25:12 [ora]
q?
17:25:19 [csarven]
+q pubrules
17:25:19 [pchampin]
... then we may find out along the way that some of those parts are actually revisions of an existing spec

17:26:27 [pchampin]
csarven: my point about editors drafts was about the content, not the formatting
17:26:43 [csarven]
https://www.w3.org/pubrules/doc
17:26:44 [pchampin]
... I believe that the editors drafts can be anything, even markdown.
17:26:54 [pchampin]
... The FPWD must abide by pubrules (link avove)
17:27:40 [pchampin]
... If the old spec use an old version of ReSpec, if it passes the rules, then that would be OK.
17:28:23 [pchampin]
... We are not even forced to use ReSpec, what matters is passing the pubrules.
17:28:56 [gkellogg]
q+
17:28:56 [pchampin]
ora: are there objections about using ReSpec?
17:28:59 [pchampin]
q+
17:29:12 [ora]
ack gkellogg
17:29:28 [pchampin]
gkellogg: I have a lot of experience with ReSpec
17:29:37 [csarven]
q+ different approaches to formatting and editorial preference considerations
17:30:02 [csarven]
q+ to mention formatting and editorial preference considerations
17:30:03 [pchampin]
... I can't see the files or mercurial, but my memory is that they are in the ReSpec format already.
17:30:28 [pchampin]
... It makes easy to validate the rules.
17:31:02 [pchampin]
... Also, a tool called PR-review is able to format a preview and a "diff" for every PR.
17:31:04 [ora]
q+
17:31:13 [ora]
ack pchampin
17:31:27 [olaf]
Gregg, only for one doc per repo?
17:32:17 [ora]
ack csarven
17:32:17 [Zakim]
csarven, you wanted to mention formatting and editorial preference considerations
17:32:31 [gkellogg]
Yes, one doc per repo. So, an rdf-concepts repo, for example.
17:32:55 [olaf]
I see. Thx for the clarification.
17:33:33 [pchampin]
csarven: in the Solid CG, the editors of each spec decide which tooling they want to use
17:34:03 [ora]
q?
17:34:09 [pchampin]
... OTOH If you want different contributors to jump in easily, picking one tool for all the specs is helping.

https://solidproject.org/TR/protocol
17:34:47 [csarven]
https://solidproject.org/ED/protocol
17:35:30 [pchampin]
... those are examples of Solid specs annotated as RDFa with the 'spec' ontology
17:36:10 [pchampin]
... each normative requirement has its own IRI, and a machine readable description
17:36:28 [pchampin]
... This is relatively new, not used in ReSpec and Bikeshed right now.
17:36:50 [pchampin]
... These annotation do not interfere with pubrules.
17:36:57 [csarven]
https://solid-contrib.github.io/specification-tests/coverage
17:37:12 [pchampin]
... They can be useful for describing test cases.
17:37:13 [gkellogg]
There are also respec tags for identifying tests associated with some normative statement.
17:37:32 [ora]
ack ora
17:38:11 [pchampin]
ora: trying to understand the spectrum of possiblity: we can use ReSpec together with those annotations?
17:38:18 [pchampin]
csarven: yes
17:39:01 [pchampin]
ora: I like the idea of these new tools, but I would suggest that we use one tool for all specs, and pick ReSpec.
17:39:09 [gkellogg]
+1 to picking one tool, and if docs are already in ReSpec, we should use that.
17:39:14 [pchampin]

17:42:00 [pchampin]
pchampin: I can create a first "spec" repo
17:42:52 [pchampin]
gkellogg: the naming convention is usually to use the short-name of the spec as the name of the repo
17:43:04 [ora]
ack ktk
17:43:05 [Dominik_T]
q+
17:43:08 [pchampin]
... I can be part of the effort to migrate the existing specs
17:43:14 [Souri]
I think two specs are definitely going to be needed. So, IMHO, we may want to consider starting with two specs: RDF-star and SPARQL-star.
17:43:15 [pchampin]
... but that will need more people
17:43:39 [pchampin]
ACTION: pchampin to create a firsr "spec" repo
17:43:40 [ghurlbot]
Created https://github.com/w3c/rdf-star-wg-charter/issues/52 -> action 52 create a firsr "spec" repo (on ) due 8 Dec 2022

17:44:08 [gkellogg]
maybe create an issue for this that people can chime in on.
17:44:12 [pchampin]
Topic: scheduling
17:44:28 [pchampin]
ora: I realized that once a month, I will have a conflict with this timeslot
17:44:48 [TallTed]
q+
17:45:00 [pchampin]
... this is not the end of the world, but if other people may want to change?
17:45:06 [gkellogg]
q+
17:45:44 [ora]
ack TallTed
17:45:49 [pchampin]
TallTed: this timeslot is fine for me in general.
17:46:17 [pchampin]
... if we are going to look for something else, I suggest we use a Doodle poll of some kind.
17:46:21 [ora]
ack gkellogg
17:46:25 [pchampin]
... Email discussions on this kind of questions go on forever.
17:46:42 [pchampin]
q+
17:46:51 [pchampin]
gkellogg: I think we had a doodle pool, and this was the slot that came up.
17:47:11 [pchampin]
... Personally I could make do 1 or 2h later, but that's ok.
17:47:23 [ora]
ack pchampin
17:47:53 [Souri]
The current schedule works perfectly for me (lunch time in US EST), but I can adjust if needed.
17:48:04 [TallTed]
I'll have frequent though inconsistent conflicts if we move 1 or 2 hours earlier on Thursdays
17:48:42 [pchampin]
pchampin: the doodle that we had was for the kick-off. Maybe it was convenient for some people that day, but not on a regular basis
17:48:47 [csarven]

ACTION: ktk to set up the doodle for the recurring time
17:49:20 [ghurlbot]
Created https://github.com/w3c/rdf-star-wg-charter/issues/54 -> action 54 set up the doodle for the recurring time (on ) due 8 Dec 2022
17:49:59 [ora]
q?
17:50:10 [pchampin]
csarven: being based in Europe, this slot is ok for me because it does not conflict with my other meetings
17:50:39 [pchampin]
ora: let's keep this time slot until the doodle pool gives its result
17:51:00 [pchampin]
... ideally, we can send it during the week, and discuss it next Thursday
17:51:40 [pchampin]
... I anticipate that as the group progresses, we might divide in task forces,
17:52:04 [pchampin]
... and the whole group will not need to meet every week.
