Hi all,

We have a telecon in 1.5 hours, let's try to get a game plan together on
 implementing an experimental @vocab extension for extending the list of
reserved words.

==========
Thursday, November 5th 2009
1500 UTC, W3C Zakim bridge
tel:+1.617.761.6200 conference code RDFA
irc://irc.w3.org:6665/#rdfa
Duration: 60 minutes
Scribe: Zakim, pick a victim
==========

Agenda:

1) Action Items
http://www.w3.org/2009/11/05-rdfa-minutes.html#ActionSummary

2) RDFa WG charter updates (short - 10 minutes)

Hi Manu,

I'm afraid I still disagree with the priorities here, for the reasons
explained at [1] and [2].

Whilst some kind of vocabulary extension is of course important, as
far as I know the only substantial criticism that has been levelled at
RDFa is its requirement to use CURIEs/prefix mappings, and so I think
we should really put some effort into addressing that.

Fixing this would be low-hanging fruit, for us.

It simply requires us to agree on how we allow full URIs in @rel,
@rev, @property, @typeof and @datatype.

(I had a full proposal at [3], which seemed to be supported on the
list. Toby had an issue with how my proposal related to  existing eRDF
content, using the example of "dc:creator" -- but this might be
incorrect, because as far as I can see, eRDF uses dots not colons.)

I realise that Hixie would prefer to have no prefix mappings at all in
RDFa, but I think that horse has bolted.

But I do think that providing support for full URIs, so that authors
at least have the choice of whether to use prefixes or not, would go a
long way towards answering his criticism.

And it's not as if the feature isn't useful, either; when using small
'packets' of RDFa, such as on one or two elements, it's often more
convenient to provide the complete URI, and not bother at all with
prefix mappings.

Regards,

Mark

FWIW, I think I agree with Mark on this one.  It is low hanging fruit.

Note that no matter what, changes like these are things that relate to a future version of RDFa, not to the current version.

Quick follow up.  With regard to Mark's proposal at [1]:

PROPOSAL

So to bring everything together, the proposal is:

 (a) RDFa should add support for URIs in attributes that currently only
     support CURIEs;

 (b) authors should be encouraged to use safe-CURIEs in those
     attributes;

 (c) but since ordinary CURIEs may still be used, we should differentiate
     by saying that anything appearing before a colon, that is not a
     mapped prefix, is a protocol.

I disagree with (b).  I don't think there is any need for this.  If the processing rules are handling this, then in these contexts there is no need to use a safe curie.  On the other hand, the TAG will have a cow if we permit URIs and CURIEs in the same place.  That was their principle objection to the CURIE spec.  How do we overcome that hurdle?

Hi Shane,

Fair point.

And on re-reading the thread from back in July, I see that Ivan makes
the same observation, which immediately doubles the number of people
holding your view. :)

Mark
