Events

  • Telecon 10 June 2008
  • Telecon 3 June 2008 Agenda
    • RESOLVED: change text of 5.1.3 to: It must be possible to create new RIF dialects which extend existing dialects (thus providing backward compatibility) and are handled gracefully by systems which support existing dialects (thus providing forward compatibility).
    • RESOLVED: For this next draft of UCR, add an editor's note to 5.1.6 to note that we're still working on how to define a coverage requirement. (unless we come up with some consensus text before publication)
    • RESOLVED: rephrase 5.2.1 to: The RIF specifications must provide clear conformance criteria, defining what is or is not a conformant RIF implementation.
  • F2F10 26-28 May, 2008, Galway Minutes (draft)
    • RESOLVED: Publish BLD as last call!
    • RESOLVED: Publish SWC as last call!
    • RESOLVED: Publish DTB and PRD as FPWD

    • ...over 40 resolutions passed
  • Telecon 20 May 2008 Agenda Minutes
  • Telecon 13 May 2008 Agenda Minutes
    • RESOLVED: to close ISSUE-52 per the current version of BLD and SWC drafts, with the understanding that ISSUE-33 and ISSUE-39, and the new issue to be raised about profile mixing, are moved out of BLD critical path as a consequence.
    • RESOLVED: (on Axel's point 4) go with Prefix as Axel proposes (whitespace between prefix name and uri), as long as in the presentation syntax it is in a pre-amble, as a directive, so it is not easily confused with a fact.
    • RESOLVED: Presentation Syntax will follow option 1a (where Const ::= ANGLEBRACKIRI | CURIE | STRING^^ANGLEBRACKIRI | STRING^^CURIE )
