<h3>Presentation Materials and Meeting Records</h3>
<p>Presentation materials are part of the meeting record, and accessible
meeting records are important.</p>
<p>A few WG members have requested that presentation materials be available a
couple days ahead of time. An easy way to submit them to the record without
clogging up everybody's mailbox is to mail them to
<tt>www-archive@w3.org</tt> as attachments, then find them in the <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/">archive</a>, and send
a pointer to <tt>public-rdf-dawg@w3.org</tt>.</p>
<p>The <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2002/03/email_attachment_formats.html">guidelines for
email attachments</a> are relevant:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>...avoid formats that are virus prone, proprietary or platform
dependent. For example, whenever possible you should use HTML instead of MS
Word, PowerPoint or PDF. (Ideally, use XHTML or HTML4.)</p>
<p>If you must use a proprietary or platform-dependent format, please also
include an alternate version in a universally readable format, such as HTML
or plain text, if possible. If you cannot, then at least include a format
that has widely available free viewers, if possible.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you use powerpoint, please give us the powerpoint sources plus a PDF
export plus some sort of text dump (RTF?).</p>

<h3 id="convene">Convene, review charter and W3C process</h3>
<p>Roll call: see <a href="#who">attendance</a> above.</p>
<p>Connolly briefly reviewed <a href="/Consortium/Process/">W3C
process</a>, emphasizing that its purpose is to build community
consensus to deploy new technologies. Connolly noted that changes to
the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2003/12/swa/dawg-charter">charter</a>
are possible, but they involve negotation with parties outside the
WG.</p>
<p><em>(not presented:</em><a href="../../02pd/rec54-img"><em>formal
process model diagram</em></a><em>, with versions in</em><a
href="../../02pd/rec54-img.ps"><em>.ps</em></a><em>,</em><a
href="../../02pd/rec54-img.png"><em>.png</em></a><em>, and</em><a
href="../../02pd/rec54-img.svg"><em>.svg</em></a><em>)</em></p>
<h3 id="ucr">Use Cases</h3>
<p>Connolly noted that outreach is an important function of the use
cases and requirements document; for example, it would be nice to note
a few use cases in a short summary of our work for the WWW2004
conference.</p>
<p>Each member of the WG was invited to speak briefly to their most
valued use cases and the connection to their work and their
constituency. <em>see <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2004/04/22-dawg-irc">IRC log</a> for some
details</em>.</p>
<p><b>ACTION DaveB:</b> write up this educational metadata UC</p>
<p>Clark reported on the current (1.24) use cases draft: some
struggles with the "benefits" heading and such.</p>
<p>The group discussed the balance between quality and quantity of use
cases: how many do we have time to write up well? Opinions varied from
5 to 10 to 15. Some sentiment favored a small number of elaborated use
cases and a larger number of short sketches. External feedback might
prompt us to reconsider which use cases to elaborate.</p>
<p>The group discussed wasy to improve the document, including promoting the "problem description" material in the introduction.</p>
<p><b>ACTION RobS:</b> to generate some RDF (in some form) for 5.1.1.</p>
<p><b>ACTION EricP:</b> to generate a diagram of a query discussed in
the use cases document.</p>
<p><b>ACTION Kendall:</b> to work with Alberto on 5.1.3.</p>
<p><b>ACTION Yoshio:</b> to write up "Kate finds an article and wants
to find related programs..."</p>
<p>ACTION Kendall: to recast this (5.2.1. Saying things about web
resources) in terms of some tool for annotating photos. (<b>DONE</b>
in 1.25)</p>
<p>ACTION Kendall: to add negotiation of query lang to
candidate requirements. (<b>DONE</b> in 1.25)</p>
<p>The group discussed requirements, especially their
relationship to use cases that motivate them.</p>
<p>The discussion got into some design details about styles of query
result bindings.</p>
<p>The group discussed requirements for support of various
forms of datatyping in some depth. We began collecting
<a href="ftfreq">straw poll data about support for
various requirements</a>.</p>
<p>Connolly constructed straw polls:</p>
<ul>
<li>if we were to keep only 5 use cases, would this be one of them?</li>
<li>if we were to keep only 10 use cases, would this be one of them? <em>this second question was abandoned part way thru.</em></li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2004AprJun/0175.html">results as reported by Beckett</a> include:</p>
<pre>
5 T
1. 8 10 5.1.1. Finding an email address
2. 9 - 5.6.1. Finding information about motorcycle parts
3. 8 - 5.5.1. Finding unknown titles (media)
4. 7 12 5.1.3. Monitoring news events
5. 7 - 5.8.1. Avoiding traffic jams
7 - 5.2.2. Discovering what people say about news stories
6 - 5.4.1. Exploring my neighborhood
4 7 5.2.1. Saying things about web resources
4 - 5.7.1. Finding input and output documents for test cases
2 7 5.9.1. Ordering an x-ray
2 - 5.8.2. Finding the cheapest flight from Boston to Chicago
2 - 5.3.1. Tracking accounts and customers
2 - 5.10.1. Find employees by group
1 4 5.1.2. Regularly executing a query
1 - 5.7.2. Describing software configurations
</pre>
<p>The straw polls do not take into account the following use cases,
which had not been digested into the use cases document or, in some
cases, not been written:</p>
<ul>
<li>Browsing Example - tell me about X, <b>ACTION Steve Harris</b></li>
<li>Bandwidth Efficiency - bytesize of resultset, <b>ACTION SteveH</b></li>
<li><a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2004AprJun/0096.html">Chunking" - limit and offset, Steve Harris</a></li>
<li><a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2004AprJun/0130.html">OWL Ontology Browser</a>, Pat Hayes</li>
</ul>
<p><b>ACTION Kendall:</b> to look at Yoshio's use cases.</p>
<p><b>ACTION Janne:</b> write a use case to motivate the requirement
of having queries written in RDF. (WITHDRAWN?)</p>
<p>The group only briefly discussed a plan for publishing the use
cases and requirements document as a W3C <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2004/02/Process-20040205/tr.html#first-wd">first
public working draft</a>. The 3 month "heartbeat" requirement means we
need to publish in May; May 17, the start of the WWW2004 web
conference, is an interesting, if challenging, target.</p>
<p>On Friday morning, the editor reported some progress
on updating the document (Revision 1.25 2004/04/23 08:13:40).
The WG <b>RESOLVED:</b> kendall has done a great job.
</p>
<p><b>ACTION: AndyS, EricP</b> to review kendallC draft by 4 May telcon</p>
<p>As discussion of datatype constraints brought up some
implementation experience with specific cases, the chair
asked for a volunteer to start collecting test cases.</p>
<p><b>ACTION SteveH:</b> to draft and maintain a list of test sketch
cases, including x < y, x < 18.</p>
<p>As recorded in <a href="ftfreq">requirements straw polls</a>,
various members of the WG supported or opposed various requirements:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li> Queries with optional triples (straw poll on required: yes 9, no 1)
</li>
<li> Queries with disjunction (straw poll on required: yes 4, no 3, chat more 2-3)
UC: 5.3.1
</li><li> Queries expressing arbitrary RDF data types (straw poll on required: yes 6, no: 3)
</li><li> Queries supporting datatypes xsd:integer and xsd:float with operations: less than,
equal, greater than [DATATYPES-IF]
</li><li> Queries supporting date and time datatypes with operations equal, before and
after. [DATATYPE-DT] (straw poll, yes: 9, no: 3)
</li><li> Queries expressible as URLs. (straw poll: yes 9, no: 1)
</li><li> Queries serializable as text. (straw poll: yes everyone)
</li><li> Query results in user-selectable result template. (straw poll: yes: 0, no: 10)
</li><li> Query results in user-selectable Internet Media Types. (straw poll: yes: 5, no: 4)
</li><li> Query results as a sub-graph of the queried RDF graph (straw poll: yes 10, no: 2)
</li><li> Query results as multiple solution graphs (straw poll: yes 4, no 5)
</li><li> Queries for the non-existence of one or more triples in a graph.
(straw poll: yes 6, no 1)
</li><li> Queries expressible in a syntax that is easily read and written by people.
(straw poll: yes 10, no 1)
</li><li> Queries shall allow execution against a local RDF storage service without network support
(i.e., queries independent of any network protocol).
(straw poll: yes 10, no 0)
</li><li> The protocol shall allow the negotiation of query languages (straw poll: yes 4, no 8)
</li><li> Query results can be returned as 0 or more variable bindings (tuples)
(straw poll: yes 12, no 1)
</li><li> Query results must return source/provenance (straw poll: yes 2, no 10)
</li><li> Query results may return source/provenance (straw poll: yes 8, no 3)
</li><li> Query results can be interpreted without knowledge of RDF. (straw poll: yes 2, no 6)
</li><li> Queries written in an RDF syntax (straw poll: 0, no: 8)
</li><li> The graph of the query looks like the graph of the result (straw poll: yes 1, no 8)
</li><li> The query language shall be extendable
(such as via function calls or namespace mechanism) (straw poll: yes 11, no 1)
</li><li> The query protocol shall address bandwidth issues of result formats.
(straw poll: yes 9, no 1)
</li><li> The query language/protocol supports limit, offset and ordering of results.
(straw poll: yes 5, no 3)
</li><li> The query language/protocol supports limiting of the number of results.
(straw poll: yes 9, no 2)</li>
</ul>
<p>Obvious:</p>
<ul>
<li> Queries with paths of two or more edges </li>
</ul>
<p>Insufficient Support:</p>
<ul>
<li> Query results using 1) graph entailment *OR*</li>
<li> Query results (not using entailment) but 2) treating the graph as a fixed object</li>
<li>Query results can be returned as triple bindings </li>
<li> The query protocol should be cognizant of network access.</li>
</ul>

<p>In the second session, Kendall's Versa talk was preempted by more
work on the usecases document, and Pat Hayes's DAML QL talk was
posponed until Pat is available, so we had 2 short talks on
implementation experience with RDQL:</p>

Apr telcon</a>) and by the chair for meeting preparation. They are reasonably
short, and you will eventually need to know this material in order to
participate effectively in this WG, but since they don't directly relate to
decisions on the meeting agenda, none of them is required.</p>
