<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; Raphael: we hope to submit a new
XG charter to W3C in mid-July</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; ... and would like to resume work
in September</p>

<p></p>

<p class="phone"><strong>--- Q&amp;A session---</strong></p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> at the XG we used some XML-based
schema<br />
... and the question is if W3C should publish new ontologies based on these
schemas<br />
... and what we should do with that?</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Ralph:</cite> thanks Raphael for an informative
session<br />
... have the XG considered publishing the ontologies in XG work space?</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> yes, we have</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>DanC</cite>&gt; <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri">URIs for W3C Namespaces</a></p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> ... but we are not sure</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>DanC:</cite> wich community cares for continuing with
this activity?</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Ralph:</cite> the other interesting question is about
maintainance<br />
... and who would do it<br />
... and I also wonder about the output of the XG<br />
... what is the challenge for W3C about this output?</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>DanC</cite>&gt; DanC: if the community around the
ontology is the XG, then the XG is more than welcome to publish the ontology
at /YYYY/MM/blah-blah , per <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri">http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri</a></p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael</cite>if we publish an ontology, should we
have just the OWL or a document also?</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>ivan</cite>&gt; +1</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> the feeling within the group is not to
follow a Rec track now (could be a target in another year)<br />
... we would rather try to see if the existing technologies are enough<br />
... we think they are not</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; Ralph: the consensus of both the
SemWeb Best Practices WG and the SemWeb Deployment WG, as documented in the
Vocabulary Management Working Draft(s) is that both forms -- the
machine-readable OWL and the human-readable HTML are desirable</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>Zakim</cite>&gt; DanC, you wanted to note that the
level of endorsement around a namespace is normally orthogonal to its URI</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>DanC:</cite> notes that the level of endorsement
around a namespace is normally orthogonal to its URI</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Ralph:</cite> is useful for the XG to point out what
things can be re-used<br />
... the XG can publish its work, new ontologies<br />
... but what part of the community interested would like to see the REC stamp
on it?</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> we wondered also about that within the
group<br />
... about the formality, I am not sure they fully understand the W3C
process<br />
... currently we don't need to go to the formality of a WG but we might need
it in the future</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>Zakim</cite>&gt; DanC, you wanted to ask about the
"OWL expression of other work" case; remind me of one example? did the XG
negotiate rights to do a derivative work? is the original org interested</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>IanJ</cite>&gt; I note that Raphael just uttered one
of the things we are concerned about: no distinction between TR and xG
report</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; Raphael: IPTC pretty much happy
with things being published somewhere on w3.org</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; ... DIG35 not sure what level of
formality we might need</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>DanC:</cite>do we have the right for derivative work
(related to mpeg-7)?</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> yes, we have rights to do derivative
work<br />
... I am not sure if we can publish this ontology, I need to check on that</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; Raphael: we made an official
liaison with ISO and they're commenting on our work</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>DanC:</cite> is either of those organizations
interested on publishing the OWL?</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>raphael</cite>&gt; I3A: I do not know</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; Raphael: ISO not interested in
publishing OWL</p>

<p class="phone">International Imaging Industry Association (I3A)</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Ivan:</cite> who is in discussions with them?</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; ... not sure if I3A is interested,
but they're OK with W3C publishing when an agreement is signed</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> Daniel Dardailler is involved on it</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>SusanL</cite>&gt; <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2001/11/StdLiaison">http://www.w3.org/2001/11/StdLiaison</a></p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; Raphael: our other question is how
to get more industry involvement in follow-on work</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>DanC</cite>&gt; (which row in <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2001/11/StdLiaison">http://www.w3.org/2001/11/StdLiaison</a>
? a text search for "multimedia" fails)</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>SusanL</cite>&gt; search for Raphael :-)</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>DanC</cite>&gt; (ah... <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2001/11/StdLiaison#I3A">http://www.w3.org/2001/11/StdLiaison#I3A</a>
)</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Ivan:</cite> my initial reaction is that you should
try to identify those members that would like to be involve, and then they
should contact their AC Rep<br />
... I would be happy to do such contacts</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>raphael</cite>&gt; yes DanC</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> ok</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; Ian: we've discussed the potential
of confusion between different kinds of TRs; in particular RECs and XG
reports</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> yes, sometimes</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; ... is it the case that [some of
the liaisons] really don't care about the difference?</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>RalphS</cite>&gt; Raphael: they don't seem to
care</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> to participate in the group was a
great experience, time consuming but great</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Kaz:</cite> thanks for a good presentation, it was a
pity I couldn't see the presentation at WWW2007, I attended W3C Track<br />
... the Multimodal Interaction WG, which develops MMI Architecture etc.,
would like to collaborate</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> that would be great</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>kaz</cite>&gt; <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/Group/">http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/Group/</a></p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Ivan:</cite> when do you plan to finally publish all
the documents?</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>SusanL</cite>&gt; <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/">http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/</a></p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>SusanL</cite>&gt; (public page is <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/)">http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/)</a></p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> next week we will send it out</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>IanJ</cite>&gt; <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/XGR/about.html">http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/XGR/about.html</a></p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>SusanL</cite>&gt; Yes we will be happy to make the
publication news.</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Ivan:</cite> can you provide us with a paragraph for
the publication?<br />
... SusanL will then *polish* it</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> yes, will do</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>IanJ:</cite> is it ok to set expectation for next
steps on that publication?</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>IanJ</cite>&gt; leave open public list</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>IanJ</cite>&gt; close member list</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>IanJ:</cite> what happen with mailing lists, for
example?</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>IanJ</cite>&gt; close XG at the same time as
publication</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>IanJ</cite>&gt; leave wiki open</p>

<p class="irc">&lt;<cite>IanJ</cite>&gt; also, please draft an email for the
ac with expectations about next steps</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Raphael:</cite> yes, the public mailing list stays
open, member mailing list closes, wiki stays open, the reference to the XG
dissapears</p>

<p class="phone"><cite>Ivan:</cite> thanks Raphael for your presentation</p>
