Agenda

• Actions taken:
  • AI: Dave to investigate size hint changes from UI preview, make sure it gets into Core, may already be there* - DONE and in Core
  • AI: Dave talk to Arthur and get that the RDF/XML query examples right - DONE and let's review
    • Corresponded with Arthur to identify problems in RDF/XML query result example
    • Proposed formats for "shapeless" queries, got more good feedback frmo Arthur:
      • http://open-services.net/pipermail/oslc-core_open-services.net/2010-August/000480.html
    • Attempted to write up Arthur's proposal and guidance in Appendix A here:
      • http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/OSLCCoreSpecRDFXMLExamples#Specifying_the_shape_of_a_query
  • AI: Dave to change to dc:creator and dc:contributor to resource value-type "Either" - DONE and in Appendix A
  • AI: Dave to change to dc:creator and dc:contributor so they SHOULD be foaf:Person - DONE and in Appendix A
  • AI: Dave to investigate adding rdfs:label to common properties
    • Not certain that this is equivalent to oslc:name or oslc:label
    • Range of rdfs:label is literal
    • Domain is rdfs:Resource, which indicates it only makes sense in an RDFS schema?
    • http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-schema/#ch_label
• Pending actions:
  • AI: Dave to provide example of paged resource
• Any status or community news to share?

Topics discussed

• Discussed RDF/XML query examples and three ways to get queries
  • Dave: are these examples and guidances correct?
  • Dave: do we need use cases to explain when to use each
  • Jim: don't need use cases, these examples are useful enough
  • Scott: use cases may not be a good idea, but a discussion of the motivation for each approach would be good
  • Scott: for technique #2 you are not adding an oslc:resourceType you are adding rdf:type to the query
  • Dave: oslc:resourceType is what you would use to specify that type in a resource shape
  • Scott: this probably needs more review
  • AI - Dave: yes, I will ask Arthur for a detailed review and mark the spec to indicate that it is under review

• Discussed idea of adding rdfs:label to common properties
  • Scott: we replaced dcterms:name, which does not exist, with oslc:shortTitle - no need for rdfs:label there
  • Scott: we use oslc:label in the Service Provider
  • Dave: rdfs:label is supposed to be an XMLLiteral, so it is not a good replacement for oslc:label
  • Dave: no reason to add this to common properties, at least not yet

• Discussed what to cover in next workgroup meetings
  • Dave: not ready to discuss Links today
  • Scott: can we queue up the discussion for next week, we need to get moving on Links
  • Jim: I'd like to participate but I will be at Innovate 2010 India next week
  • Jim and Ian had short discussion of polymorphic resources, not necessarily related to representations

• Wrapped up meeting
  • Next week: another short review meeting
  • Week after: discuss links and how to finalize
