Proposal for next week's discussion

ktk: another long meeting next week. impression from the list - most discussed topics are the syntactic sugar proposal.
… big part of discussion is well-formed or not-well-formed.
… any comments?

AndyS: two weeks ago we had proposal about what subject was. some things weren't carrieid forward from meeting. need to be clearer.
… if it's just which is the largest volume on the mailing list, i can see how you came to conclusion.
… as pchampin's summary makeks clear, there are other things in-flight.
… suggest how we work across proposals.
… defining which issues we wish to address.
… presuming which issues the WG is seeing as will-address or not.

<TallTed> pchampin, chairs -- please correct `meting` to `meeting` in agendas, going forward

ktk: can you point to the one from pchampin ?

<niklasl> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-star/2024Jan/0001.html

AndyS: titled "Summary of the Options"

pchampin: I probably sent to the CG mailing list.

ktk: could you post to the main list again?

pchampin: yes

<pchampin> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-star/2024Jan/0001.html

AndyS: I've done the same thing with mine.
… (atomic reification write-up.)

ktk: any feedback to AndyS?

AndyS: two of proposals are not involving well-formed directly.

ktk: your proposal is to go through this and try to see how much concensus we can find?

AndyS: I think we have to do it. Otherwise only talking about one area. Implicitly would be saying other areas are not of interest.

ktk: ok. good proposal. any other comments?

pchampin: apologies for confusion. goal of this email was to try and have a sensitive view on how approaches differ.

<AndyS> "Atomic reification" https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-star/2024Jan/0000.html

pchampin: last friday there was confusion about what we were meant to discuss.
… goal is to provide something concrete.
… tried my best to collate different sources with links.
… also to have everythign in once place. easy to compare.

TallTed: AndyS you sent yours to the WG list, too?

AndyS: I'm about to.

ktk: let's take this as base for discussion.

Review of open actions, available at

ktk: we have open actions

pchampin: I checked that every issue and PR ends up in the dashboard.
… this is proven complete.

Review of pull requests, available at

ktk: olaf is not here.
… no update on JSON PR.
… what is "minicore" AndyS?
… #102

<gb> Pull Request 102 Create miniCore.md (by rat10)

pfps: he should be able to create the document. not sure why this is still sitting there.

pchampin: we're just editors. only editors have the merge privilige.

AndyS: is that related to the wiki as well?

pchampin: wiki permissions are different.
… I can change permissions. Give merge permissions to all participants.
… given use we have for docs folder, probably would make sense.

ktk: only for this repo?

pchampin: yes.

ktk: no problem with that.

pchampin: in the mean time, I can merge PRs.

tl: I don't know if approach makes sense. it was 2 weeks ago.
… we should try to organize discussion around repo.
… I got a lot of editoral comments.
… I think I'm going to start writing mails again. Didn't have feeling that this worked out.
… I don't care if this gets merged into docs folder. It's already outdated.

tl: you can merge it or leave it.

pfps: w3c/rdf-semantics#45 or 3 on the list out of 5. that's a technical change to semantics.
… could go in except that when I look at it, TallTed has requested changes. I can't see what the changes are.

<gb> Pull Request 45 add entailment rule for datatypes (by pfps) [spec:bug] [test:needs tests]

pfps: try to do it sometime and take yourself off. I can merge even without that, but would prefer to wait for you.

TallTed: it's waiting for approval after changes.

Issue Triage, available at

ktk: last time we said we wanted to add one flag. not sure much happened.
… any comments on any issues?

AndyS: I think it's difficult to have discussion until we decide what it's based upon.

pfps: ok taking off need for discussion for now.
… I'll remove the label.

pfps: one thing related to triage. I did the w3c/rdf-semantics#45 PR. it has an associated issue.

<gb> Pull Request 45 add entailment rule for datatypes (by pfps) [spec:bug] [test:needs tests]

pfps: how are we going to do tests?
… I put a needstest label on the issue which will stay open.

pchampin: That's probably on me. I don't think this label exists at the moment.

pfps: it's test:needstest.

Any Other Business (AOB), time permitting

pchampin: we talked about changing the permissions on the rdf WG repo.
… do we need a fuller decision? or do I just add an action?
… how do we make a decision on that?

ktk: we can do a proposal.

AndyS: or chair's discretion.

pfps: chair's discretion sounds good.

pchampin: realized we are roughly at 75% of our chartered time. need to start thinking about rechartering.
… another item in our discussion at some point. not too controversial.
… will discuss with chairs and come back to the group.

ktk: when is the official end?
… august?

pchampin: something like that.

<niklasl> https://hackmd.io/@niklasl/HJ3IudCdp

niklasl: motivating examples (pchampin suggested a couple of weeks ago)
… I could add them to the wiki. Not sure if they are relevant anymore.
… A lot of use-cases. Perhaps that's good enough.

ktk: details for TPAC are set this year. might make sense to meet again.
… in the US.
… Anaheim, CA. Sept 23–27, 2024.

<pchampin> https://www.w3.org/events/tpac/2024/tpac-2024-hybrid-meeting/

ktk: probably a different combination than last year being more US-focused.
… I might consider it.

pchampin: I will probably go.

pfps: I expect meeting will be across a very big parking lot from disneyland.

TallTed: meeting should be on teacups.

TallTed: good if people can review open issues.
… that are unlabeled.
… add some labeling. we can do triage next time.

pfps: I was looking at those. Some are from outside the WG. Not sure what to do about them.

TallTed: we have to reply to them in some way (addressed this way, not going to address, etc.).

<Zakim> pchampin, you wanted to suggest we should assign them to WG participants

pchampin: good point. issues from people outside WG. one thing we could do is assign to group participants.
… look at your issues. might be something we want to consider having asignees for.

pchampin: of course, it's probably no quick way to filter issues by who they are from.

pfps: only 102. not a long time to go through them.

ktk: long meeting next week.
