<markbirbeck> Hi everyone. I've just sent my apologies, because I'm going to have to leave the office in about 10 minutes for school parents' evening. :)
<Steven> (and he smiles about ti)
We'll let our imaginations run wild as to what happened at SemTech 2009 :)
Steven, you were there, right?
<Steven> only on irc
<Steven> I'm scribing another call now
<markbirbeck> @msporny: It
was everything we could have hoped for...and more. ;)
<scribe> scribenick: msporny
Manu: Can we drop most of these action items?
Ben: Maybe, we should be start nagging/dropping stuff aggressively.
<scribe> ACTION: Ben to prepare "how to write RDFa" screencast with fragment parser [recorded in] [CONTINUES]
<scribe> ACTION: Ben to author wiki page with charter template for RDFa IG. Manu to provide support where needed. [recorded in] [CONTINUES]
<scribe> ACTION: Manu to write summary for Semantic Web Use Cases for Ivan. [recorded in] [DROPPED]
Manu: I'm going to do that in due time, no need to review every week.
<scribe> ACTION: Mark create base wizard suitable for cloning [recorded in] [CONTINUES]
<scribe> ACTION: Mark to send Ben ubiquity related wizard stuff [recorded in] [CONTINUES]
<scribe> ACTION: Mark write foaf examples for wiki [recorded in] [CONTINUES]
<scribe> ACTION: Michael to create 'RDFa for uF users' on RDFa Wiki [recorded in] [DROPPED]
<scribe> ACTION: Ralph find the statement on test suite copyright [recorded in] [CONTINUES]
<scribe> ACTION: Ralph make a request for an RDFa issue tracker instance [recorded in] [CONTINUES]
Ben: We need to start moving
faster
... We need to utilize telecon time better
... So, I'm going to concentrate on focusing more on moving us forward.
<scribe> ACTION: Ralph or Steven fix the .htaccess for the XHTML namespace [recorded in: Ralph or Steven fix the .htaccess for the XHTML namespace [recorded in].org/2009/01/08-rdfa-minutes.html#action01] [CONTINUES]
<scribe> ACTION: Ralph think about RSS+RDFa [recorded in: Ralph think about RSS+RDFa [recorded in]008/09/11-rdfa-minutes.html#action15] [CONTINUES]
Ben: We may want to delay
discussion on some things until we have a good proposal on the
table
... We could end up discussing something for too long on the call and wasting time doing a group brainstorm
... let's forget the charter for today.
... Do you guys have feedback on the charter?
Manu: No
Shane: No
Ben: Then let's not talk about
the RDFa IG charter.
... Looks like our priorities are RDFa IG charter first and creating an HTML+RDFa spec
... Let's look at the issues.
Manu: Sam Ruby requested that this be moved way up the list
Ben: If there are vendors that disagree with the notion that if something is served with text/html that it be parsed with html5lib?
<ShaneM> did you look at this:.
<markbirbeck> Sorry I can't be there, but I had an idea on this: <link rel="meta" href="" type="text/html" /> That would allow you to (a) point to some other document as the source of RDFa (which is handy anyway), and (b) point to 'self' as the source of RDFa, which effectively means 'I contain RDFa'. It uses the same mechanism that the Linked Data world uses (@rel="meta"), but instead of the MIME type being RDF/XML, it's HTML.
<markbirbeck> Got to dash...bye.
<ShaneM> bye
Shane: Doesn't this come down to
a dialect issue?
... If I use the announcement mechanism for HTML4, then I'm in HTML4.
Ben: The browsers already have to
do this.
... So, how can we do anything other than "whatever HTML5 says for triggering HTML5lib"?
Shane: Whatever announcement mechanism you want is fine - RDFa shouldn't get involved in that aspect.
Ben: We should be loose about this - whatever DOM tree you end up with, you pass to the RDFa processor.
Manu: Right.
... I think Sam Ruby et al would be okay with that.
Ben: Mark's proposal is
interesting
... Linking to yourself as meta is an extra flag that can make things more efficient for parsers...
Shane: That's not how I took
that.
... I took it to mean, if I'm a follow-your-nose parser, I should follow that @rel... I can use it to point to myself.
Manu: I don't think we should have more signaling mechanisms.
<benadida> Manu: I don't think we need any more way to signal presence of RDFa.
<benadida> +1
Shane: More interesting is
rel="meta" href="" and type="text/application+xml"
... you can force the RDFa processor to process as xhtml
... I think it's cool, and it would work - not that we should make that a best practice.
Ben: Somebody could put that in
today, so we don't really need to say anything about
that.
... It's an interesting thing to note, but we probably shouldn't do anything with it.
... Proposed resolution for this issue.
... We can't override what the HTML5 spec will say, so it's out of our hands how the model is built.
Manu: I think that should be good with Sam.
Manu: xmlns: and XMLLiteral are the only two things that may need to be cut, but doing so for both of them is arguable.
Ben: I agree about XMLLiteral,
xmlns: has no argument for it to be cut.
... The rules are inconsistent between XHTML and HTML.
Manu: xmlns: is toxic, it's a political issue, not a technical one.
Shane: XMLLiteral might not be an
issue - it's in a DOM, therefore it can be serialized as
XML.
... It's canonical when you get it into a tree model.
Manu: Agreed.
Ben: +1
... Editing the wiki to note these discussions...
... Meeting every week now, let see if we can make it.
