% notes from JC telecon 2/3/04 % by Benjamin Grosof participants: Mike Dean Benjamin Grosof Harold Boley Sandro Hawke Pat Hayes (joined midway) Peter Patel-Schneider (joined midway) o wrt planning for W3C Technical Plenary in early March: there's a draft agenda for SW IG (renamed RDF IG), could talk to Eric Miller, they will have lightning talks, Dan Brickley is doing the agenda since he runs that IG o idea: maybe org a BOF at WWW o check out new SemWebCentral o SWRL builtins list document Mike: should have our own namespace, not just rely on XQuery's, then use XQuery naming selectively Benj and consensus: yes Mike: issue: in name strings: capitalization convention vs. hyphens Benj: have an intro section in prose, about concepts, uses, overview; talk about binding patterns/modes as part of this Mike: maybe also logarithms and other math functions Sandro: would be nice to give a table of how our list compares to ISO Prolog, XQuery, XSchema, etc. Pat: would be nice for readers' sake to point out clear correspondences when they exist Benj: also have a section on extensibility mechanism and library; but what's our story about that, our proposed process to manage future evolution -- e.g. in open source - Mike: let future W3C WG tackle defining those - Harold: it goes beyond rules, other parts of SW may want to use as well . Benj: yes . Sandro: probably RDF Data Access too Harold: we should organize the builtins formally into a hierarchy, e.g., based on the XML data types hierarchy Benj: do we want names for the partitions Mike: could be tedious Pat: could just define classes Benj: yes, separate the taxonomy from the naming; permits overlaps between classes too Sandro: seems process-wise that we could give our list to RDF Data Access WG, then defer to their decision making process wrt finalization another issue wrt doing that: will the RDF Data Access WG tackle binding patterns/modes the way we would want Benj: also issue of divergence later: we'll eventually want side-effectful builtins as well %%%%%%%% future agenda: let's hear from Drew McDermott about DRS -- FOL in RDF ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Prof. Benjamin Grosof Web Technologies for E-Commerce, Business Policies, E-Contracting, Rules, XML, Agents, Semantic Web Services MIT Sloan School of Management, Information Technology group http://ebusiness.mit.edu/bgrosof or http://www.mit.edu/~bgrosof
