Ha, ha! 00:55:30 sbp, no they will simply use my site to convert. 00:55:36 Ooh, contexts.. cool. 00:55:47 Can you fix it so it doesn't use those stupid CGI addresses, tho? 00:55:53 they won't use your site to convert, because it doesn't fecking work 00:56:03 stupid CGI addresses: that will be your job 00:56:11 i want a job. 00:56:20 ooh ooh pick me pick me 00:57:26 I thought it worked -- you gave me a URL that worked. 00:57:43 no, it's Aaron's responsiblity, not yours.

I crush your head. 02:03:20 you like that, though? 02:03:21 :-) 02:03:41 You might want to change "crush your head" to something more appropriate 02:03:50 like what? i spit on your grave? 02:04:07 lol, that's great 02:04:13 which? 02:04:21 the grave 02:04:41 i'll use that one then :) 02:05:11 gotta find a diff word for the second dedicated though 02:05:25 dependant? 02:06:37 Yeah, that's good. 02:22:37 Perl is like vice grips. You can do anything with it, and it's the wrong tool for every job. 02:23:02 Python is executable pseudocode. Perl is executable line noise. 02:23:16 Not actually from davb, from http://www.mindview.net/Books/Python/ThinkingInPython.html 02:23:18 hehehehe 02:25:13 whatdya think of: 02:25:57 Dedicated to all the companies who wait until a large user base becomes dependant on their free software, then shafting said happy campers with mandatory payment for continued usage. I spit on your grave. 02:26:21 Hmm.. perhaps change free software to something that doesn't make it sound GNU 02:26:40 /free software/freeware/? 02:27:07 Yeah, that'd be good. 02:30:01 k 02:31:55 ooh. my file rotate/backup code is fly. 02:32:05 * Morbus stifles chuckle. 02:32:16 fly? 02:32:34 yeah, you know, like superfly. i dunno why i said that. 02:32:50 Heh. 02:33:37 Hehehe: [[[Yup, 8 millibits per second.

The group began to speculate as to the various meanings of the phrase "damn tootin'" and reportedly went downhill fast from there, falling into an Internet-induced frenzy involving heavy intravenous drug use that almost led the girls to lives of prost 02:46:09 - http://www.tidbits.com/issue321/ 02:46:30 bwahahah 02:47:01 you saw amphetadesk in issue600, right? nudge, nudge, wink, wink ;) 02:47:27 yep 02:47:46 It was an April Fools joke too? 02:47:49 Real URL: http://www.tidbits.com/tb-issues/TidBITS-321.html 02:49:34 sbp has joined #swhack 02:49:54 we are? 02:50:06 is anybody here? 02:50:12 AaronSw: you here? 02:50:18 I am. 02:50:24 I'm not. 02:50:24 We are what? 02:50:28 Oh, that. 02:50:31 What we are, of course. 02:51:01 AaronSw has changed the topic to: It's Alright, Ma. (It's Only Morbus) 02:51:29 ah! commendable topic 02:51:35 Heh. When you don't carpool, you ride with morbus. no one wants that now, do we? 02:51:50 yeah, that didn't make much sense, unless you remember the old postwar hitler/carpool ad. 02:52:12 Ah. 02:52:22 you know of it, AaronSw? 02:52:24 * sbp is building towards a new homepage 02:52:29 No, but I can guess. 02:52:36 yeah, it was pretty funny. 02:52:58 it said "when you don't carpool, you ride with hitler", and it had this happy guy all alone, with a ghost hitler in the passenger seat. 02:54:28 sbp, homepage looks much better now... but can we put that pool picture of you by the palm tree? 02:54:54 Where'd you get that Palm tree, btw? you draw it? 02:55:08 I don't have one of me by a palm tree. Just the palm tree by itself 02:55:13 yes, I drew it 02:55:37 Yes, so use the Pool picture... drop it on top or something 02:56:07 the pool picture is massive 02:56:08 Huh? "Just give me eight acres and a mule." 02:56:28 what's so "huh?" about that?

Don't tell them! 02:57:49 anyhoo, I'd like to use the pool picture, but I like the palm too 02:57:56 don't tell them: yeah... heh 02:58:10 Ted Nelson is a pretty phenomicizes quite a bit. 02:58:25 I was just mentioning that to tav, who said he didn't like the term "dataplesh" 02:58:35 ?Redo from start 02:58:42 Huh? 02:58:48 exactly 02:58:55 025939Z Ted Nelson is a pretty phenomicizes quite a bit. 02:59:09 Oops, I meant Ted Nelson phenomicizes quite a bit. 02:59:22 I was trying to use it in adjective form, but it didn't work. 02:59:25 He's phenomical? 02:59:32 to tav: "Perhaps you need to read a dose of Ted Nelson for it to make sense. I mean, he's quite proud of inventing the General Enfilde Theory, and things everyone should dag instead of click.

Simpson" 03:02:57 yeah, that's a recycled alt.... ahem 03:03:16 Ooooooooh! 03:03:26 that's what Homer's doing! 03:03:32 oh yeah, sbp, you should see the dedicate in the sync source code :) 03:03:33 He's saying "Oooooooooh!" 03:03:41 URI? 03:03:42 Indeed he is. 03:03:46 It's in the logs. 03:05:17 You need a third image to complete things... 03:05:18 ah, yes. Indeed it is 03:05:28 a third? 03:05:38 two is like a new record for me! 03:05:49 I know... but it feels so incomplete! 03:05:51 Yeah, perhaps a pic of a verbivore, or some music. 03:06:33 Hmm... I see what you mean 03:06:45 It's asymetric. 03:07:01 goddamit. 03:07:17 note that the asterisks are aslo images 03:08:06 You're right... that's sucky... 03:08:14 annoying thing is, it's getting more like the current site every day 03:08:24 no, I wanted to link them to a little audio cue 03:08:58 I couldn't do that with CSS, or just plain text (well I could, but it would have sucked in non-CSS browsers), and the GIF is sub 0.5KB 03:09:13 Hmm, OK then. 03:09:17 Ooh, I love this song! 03:09:24 It makes me feel so anarchy! 03:09:35 so anarchy? 03:09:50 Yeah... as in jittery or silly... anarchy 03:09:58 what is it with you and adjectives today? 03:10:07 anarchic, or anarchaic 03:10:22 Anarchaic makes it sound like it's old. 03:10:29 Or perhaps new. 03:10:35 that's anachronistic 03:10:58 I mean, you gotta love any song that starts "Give me an F!" "F!" "Give me a U!" "U" etc. 03:11:00 ah: anarchic 03:11:06 "What's that spell?" ... 03:11:07 "What's that spell?" ... 03:11:08 "What's that spell?" ... 03:11:08 "What's that spell?" ... 03:11:12 He does it like 20 times. 03:11:21 it spells: FU 03:11:35 It goes on, stupid. 03:11:42 I'm too lazy to type it all. 03:11:45 ah, "fuzzle" 03:11:50 * AaronSw smacks sbp 03:12:32 "Be the first one on your block to have your boy come home in a box!" 03:12:51 heh, if were confusing nouns for adjectives: you have a doggy imagination 03:13:03 How so? 03:13:22 hehe 03:13:25 just a phrasism I thought up 03:13:53 You might want to blow your nose -- you seem a bit phrasal today. 03:14:02 he he he 03:14:55 welp, i'm outta here 03:15:26 nasal relates to the nose, so phrasal relates to the...? 03:15:32 OceanStore has a great logo: http://oceanstore.cs.berkeley.edu/images/oceanblue.gif 03:15:42 how does the weather go: whither weather? 03:15:48 Morbus has quit 03:16:00 phrasal relates to the phrase 03:16:01 and it's overuse 03:16:18 s/it's/its/ 03:16:38 ah, you suddenly make sensy 03:16:48 you have become ensensified! 03:17:02 "Ohhh, darling you're sooo sensy tonight." 03:17:11 Is that what you say to sensual people? 03:17:24 no, they're sensual 03:17:36 "It doesn't have to be consensual to be sensual." 03:18:33 that's an optimistic assesment 03:18:57 That 03:19:06 That's true... I do need to go to the optimologist. 03:19:47 having your optimoids removed again, eh? 03:20:08 I realized today that it's not just my imagination... I really can't see long distances. 03:20:18 I was at my brother's football game, and my eyes are totally shot. 03:20:31 too much sitting at the computer screen 03:20:34 Yep If I squint or push on them I can see better again. 03:20:54 So i've installed software that locks me out of the computer ever x minutes. 03:21:00 Where I've set x to 20. 03:21:04 really? 03:21:10 Yep. 03:21:23 Well, it doesn't lock me out... it just puts this big red splotch over the screen. 03:21:28 That says my time is up. 03:21:37 ported to Windows? 03:22:00 I'm sure there are a ton for Windows. 03:22:20 Do a search for RSI software. 03:22:23 Since it's really designed for RSI sufferers 03:22:34 uh huh 03:22:49 My hands will be next. 03:23:03 My neck is already really messed up, but I think that was mostly my heavy backpack from school. 03:23:24 * AaronSw looks for his Handeze gloves 03:24:04 I wore my backpack on one shoulder for years... doesn't seem to have done anything to severe, so that's cool 03:24:16 actually, I think it probably strengthened that side :-) 03:24:23 Hmm... but my backpack was heavy, and I'm quite small. 03:24:29 My shoulders were definitely strong afterward. 03:24:35 I used to carry lead weights in mine 03:24:36 I had like bulging shoulder muscles 03:24:41 it was quite weird 03:24:48 heh, but just on one side 03:25:01 * sbp probably did carry lead weights at one time. Dunno 03:25:15 Weird. 03:25:37 It was so heavy I just stopped carrying textbooks. 03:25:38 fishing weights 03:25:45 heh, sensible plan 03:25:48 But still it was much too heavy. 03:26:03 So i got rid of homework and other papers 03:26:09 but still it was pretty heavy. 03:26:14 easier to just leave the books at college, and then find them 03:26:33 No, this was before I went to college. 03:26:38 still, I needed a bag for all my discs... 03:26:53 discs? 03:27:00 floppies 03:27:13 Hmm... still not as good as your homepage. Closer, though 03:27:18 Oops, here's another break. 03:27:30 Really? I was going to change my page to be more like yours. 03:27:40 your new one at least. 03:28:15 well, yours fits nicely, and it has more content 03:28:22 you've done cooler stuff than I have 03:29:04 Heh. 03:29:14 Really? I was going to change my page to be more like yours. 03:29:29 ironic: I've been very carefully trying to avoid your design! 03:29:50 Heheh. 03:29:53 heh, I reckon you sneak in small changes, and I think "was it like that before? crap, I'd better change it just in case" 03:30:12 People keep saying it's like Jakob Nielsen which really bugs me. 03:30:21 ugh! 03:30:26 I'd beeter check mine isn't... 03:30:31 I ran it thru checklink and fixed a few problems with it. 03:30:55 blimey, yours *is* like Jakob's 03:31:31 'cept better, better content, better font, better layout of information 03:31:42 Aww, thanks. 03:32:07 but the two boxes... perhaps a sub-concious insriation? 03:32:30 er... subconscious inspiration is probably what I was trying to say 03:34:03 Heh. 03:34:16 Perhaps... 03:36:22 ah, I've moved Homer down, so I only need two images now 03:36:44 Did you move the palm too? 03:36:51 nope 03:37:02 so rather than oox it's oxo 03:37:41 Hmm... it's better -- but it still feels like an image would be good 03:37:56 I'm resisting the urge to put the pool photo 03:38:01 on it 03:38:11 Oh, come on. 03:38:21 It'd go great next to other stuff 03:38:28 it's too big! 03:38:40 what a lame response. 03:38:42 shrink it down 03:38:52 and if I crop it, or minisculize it, it smegs the ambience 03:39:47 ambience? hmmph 03:41:26 smeggit, this page is still as much of a sell out as the old one. Now it's just a well designed sell out 03:42:08 How is it a sellout? 03:42:14 I wanted a little story on there or something, but everytime I wrote something, it either sucked, or it was too big so I had to put it on another page and link to it 03:42:34 sellout: "Hi! I'm Sean B. Palmer, a great big Google loving narcissist" 03:42:48 So? 03:43:05 well, that sucks. I'd rather not have a homepage if it's really like that 03:43:24 the bottom of the page is alright... 03:43:44 from "Verbivore" downwards 03:44:32 the top half is "this is who I am. This is how to contact me. This is what I do. Aren't I boring? Could I be any more cliched?" 03:44:56 LOL 03:44:59 You should put that on. 03:45:06 yes! 03:45:09 and make them links 03:45:14 and take out the boring junk 03:47:50 * sbp works on it 03:48:47 * sbp chops away at it, worrying about the balance later 03:50:41 cool, I've utterly destroyed it 03:51:19 * sbp makes a backup 03:51:34 Yeah, I like that. 03:54:54 Ugh, but now the design quality goes in the wrong direction. I spent too mcuh time working on the top of the document: silly me 03:55:51 Can you link "Aaron Swartz"? 03:56:00 pay me 03:56:28 LOL! 03:57:02 yeah, I wondered about that. On the one hand, it really really sucks big time if I don't make it into a link, but on the other hand, people will be like, "oh, this dude is more more interesting than this git; I'll go to his homepage instead" 03:57:02 The LOL scale: heh; Heh.; Heheh.; Heheh!; lol; LOL; LOL! 03:57:11 LOL 03:58:00 perhaps I can put that in as a note at the very bottom, with the link, and a note stating that I'm still expecting payment from you 03:58:37 See it's only funny to me, because it wouldn't scare anyone else. 03:58:52 Hey, you took out the menu bit! 03:59:04 only funny to you? what, and why? 03:59:16 the "pay me" thing 03:59:25 because I'm scared I'll have to pay everyone for links 03:59:36 ah, good point 03:59:48 the email thing could be quite funny to many visitors, because they probably plan on or have mailed you, so they're scared that it won't go thru 04:00:07 email thing? 04:00:21 I rent my emails out on weekends to a takeout service 04:00:32 so please only inquire about menu prices during the week 04:00:56 I took that bit out ages ago... it didn't fit well 04:01:04 Why not? 04:01:38 well, both in the desgin sense (the bold looked out of place) and the content sense (I don't really want to scare the shit out of people who email me) 04:02:00 LOL, but that's what makes it funny. 04:02:54 perhaps 04:03:46 Jokes are melted fear. 04:04:05 Dave Winer often says "Fear is frozen fun." 04:04:31 er... yeah, of course... 04:05:05 I didn't call Dave Winer a nutcase! 04:05:14 You didn't? 04:05:24 Have you stopped beating your wife too? 04:05:33 "Jokes are melted fear." doesn't have the same alliterative qualities, tho 04:05:34 I forgot I was married 04:05:40 (Hmm, does that mean it can't read?) 04:06:14 have you stopped getting mad at your school? 04:06:36 * sbp makes the link 04:07:25 Nope, that'll never happen. 04:07:53 the teachers that taught you weren't cool, eh? 04:08:12 they held you down, turned you 'round, filled you up with their rules... 04:08:17 at least it's Getting Better 04:09:36 It's Getting Better all the time. 04:10:02 (it can't get any worse) 04:10:09 yes, I admit it's Getting Better 04:10:18 etc. 04:10:40 I thought it was "can't get much worse" 04:10:54 Hmm... 04:11:17 Oh, that's a different section. 04:11:52 ah 04:15:28 "Contrary to popular opinion, I do not answer the name 'Spanky'." 04:15:43 "answer to the name of", rather 04:16:04 s/of// 04:16:24 shame it isn't f/x/y/ 04:16:35 cause you could do 04:16:50 hey, off 04:16:58 f/off/you arsehole/ 04:17:10 lol! 04:17:25 * sbp was hoping for a "LOL" 04:17:45 Keep trying. :) 04:18:02 let's see... what was in the newspaper today? 04:18:13 I read the news today, oh boy. 04:18:33 ah, yes: 4000 holes in Blackburn, Lancs. 04:18:42 The English army just killed 400 innocent civillians. 04:18:55 Hmm, that's a bit of a stretch to get all that to fit. 04:19:14 Shoot!

Ooh, that rhymes 21:16:14 actually, they just discussed it today on RDF IG 21:16:29 Seth asked Tim if a context with one statment as a member is equivalent to a statement ID 21:16:47 Tim said he stays out of those sort of arguements :-) 21:17:03 so reifying might be better 21:17:16 when you say "I'd hoped they'd catch on" who is they? 21:17:25 people other than those creating CWM? 21:17:32 you want others to use contexts? 21:18:16 they: the world and it 21:18:19 and it's dog 21:18:27 :) 21:18:32 we're even discussing it now in #rdfig! 21:20:58 so i see... 21:21:01 how does a ready fig differ from a strawberrt fig? 21:21:59 I don't know, how does a ready fig differ from a strawberry fig? 21:22:19 * Morbus shivers - the balls back in his court! 21:22:25 sbp - i've made the change. want to take a look? 21:22:26 :-) 21:22:57 s/""// 21:23:16 er... and then you could do what Aaron suggested and take out the ID thingy 21:23:38 Why don't you just run the page thru the script again? 21:24:04 yeah, I fixed the script so that it outputs decent data this time 21:24:10 i will...but i'm trying to understand what's going through sbp's mind as he's making these changes to the script. :) 21:24:29 I'm thinking, "ugh, why on earth did I do that like that?" 21:24:33 lol 21:24:42 the old thing was clearly, clearly rushed 21:24:49 it was 21:24:57 it wasn't even completed 21:25:03 so, when are you going to write an EARL validator? :) 21:25:13 it only implemented "earl:pass" :-) 21:25:30 EARL Validator: there are two different approaches I could take 21:25:31 Morbus has quit 21:25:53 1) Play about with CWM/Llyn 21:26:01 2) Beg Aaron to work on his RDF API 21:26:08 Already on it! 21:26:15 problem solved 21:26:17 Running the unit test now... 21:26:40 ideally, we 21:27:00 we're looking for a CGI form whereby one can paste in a URI, and have it "validate" the EARL 21:27:16 in as much as one can validate an RDF Model. Really, you just check it for consistency 21:28:02 which CWM is good at. Perhaps I'll try that approach too 21:28:06 but I' 21:28:12 aaaaaaargh, damn ' key 21:28:19 hmm. i thought it was the syntax we wanted to validate, not the model. am i confusing things? 21:28:41 but I'm a bit saddened by the whole state of EARL at the moment: test case work messing things up, etc. 21:28:50 syntax: just use the RDF Validator for that 21:29:33 it's generating earl:date instead of dc:date, i thought we'd decided to stay w/dc date. 21:29:44 with a model validator, you want to check that people are not doing _:Checkpoint earl:passes _:Page . or anything silly like that 21:29:53 no way! dc:date isn't even datatyped 21:29:56 At least it's not earl:date [ dc:date "..."] 21:30:15 and it doesn't have the magical quality that we give earl:date and earl:version 21:30:27 Ooh, that specail sbp goodness? 21:30:28 magical. :) 21:30:28 yeah, earl:date [ dc:date _:y ] . was conufsing 21:30:41 * AaronSw shuts up and goes back to trying to pass his unit tests 21:30:50 ah. 21:30:53 yeah, we say that something's unambiguous when it has a URI and an EARL date hanging off of it 21:31:08 if we used DC date, I don't think that we could say that 21:31:36 hmm. the other day you said s/earl:suite/earl:id. but this uses earl:suite. 21:31:46 or am i switching them? 21:31:46 oh, feck 21:32:35 see, this is what happens when you don't take time to build something carefully :-) 21:32:37 * sbp updates 21:32:58 :) no worries, it makes me feel like i'm contributing. 21:33:09 you're the chair! 21:33:15 I'm not even sure what earl:suite does anymore 21:33:34 I mean, it's meant to link to a set of conformance criteria 21:33:41 e.g. all of WCAG 1.0 21:33:51 chair: true, but i understand this about 1/2 as well as you do! eeeks! you've done all the work! :) 21:34:20 but perhaps it would be better to link it to a URI/bNode, and then link all of the IDs off of that. Sort of like the machine readable version of WCAG that I drafted up 21:34:28 yes, linking to all of wcag 1.0 could be called a suite, but it's an id. not sure we need to distinguish... 21:34:34 although some of the recent thread gets into that. 21:34:49 well, you understand the scenarios and the practice of the thing way better than I do 21:34:54 if you want to make a less granular claim you could...but i'm not sure how it would change how it gets processed. 21:35:08 well, when processing, you need to be explicit 21:35:27 it's not enough to be fuzzy to any degree, you have to state things in incredibly pedantic detail 21:35:34 which is probably why I like it :-) 21:35:53 yes, good to be pendantic. but, i'm trying to think of a scenario of how this would be processed differently. 21:35:54 so using WCAG as a kind of bag may seem good on the surface, but the processor won't know what's in the ba 21:36:08 yes - exactly - unless that bag is defined somewhere... 21:36:14 perhaps suite = WCAG 1.0 21:36:29 WCAG 1.0 is a bag for {set of checkpoint URIs} 21:36:32 and WCAG's annoying, because really it's a bag with three other bags in it, all of the different checkpoints, and you can have overlaps of the bags 21:36:40 actually- 3 bags. one for each level of conformance of wcag. 21:36:41 yep, that's how I wanted to model it 21:36:49 :) exactly. 21:36:53 :-) 21:37:29 ok. so in this instance i've used an id, but suite should be possible, as long as we have a way to define what is in the suite. 21:37:43 which, is basically just an rdf:bag. 21:38:09 DAML lists are considered "cooler" 21:38:26 I don't know anything about DAML, really...could you explain? 21:38:53 er... it's an ontology. so, it's a language which allows you to make other languages with astonishing detail 21:38:59 like a schema language 21:39:18 but it has other little knick knacks in it, like daml:Seq, or whatever it's called 21:39:28 we use DAML a little bit in the EARL schema 21:40:04 Wendy, could you bung the example through the bookmarklet again? there are a few other bugs in there that I've fixed but that aren't fixed in the example 21:40:16 apologies: I really should have fixed it *ages* ago 21:40:17 yes - that's the only bit of DAML i know is in the EARL schema. 21:40:32 * wendy retursn to the bookmarklet. 21:40:57 the schema is at http://www.daml.org/2001/03/daml+oil# 21:41:18 oh, and there's a really good walkthrough: http://www.daml.org/2001/03/daml+oil-walkthru 21:42:25 Any idea what we're going to do about the TPDL? I kinda decided all of a sudden that EARL walks a weird tightrope act between linking to a test case, putting up metadata for a test case, and actually defining the test case 21:42:59 Daniel's original properties had a list of test case stuff with a note to enumerate them out later, but we never did, and in the end we lost interest in that aspect and got rid of some of the properties 21:43:03 example fixed. thx. 21:43:15 yes, it is in an odd grey area. 21:43:19 Not sure what we'll do. 21:43:22 so we have a kind of semi-pointer/semi-metadata language for test cases in EARL 21:43:26 I expect it will end up in QA. 21:43:40 but the question is: what do we do for EARL? 21:43:40 BUT, i would like to iron out as much of that as possible before handing off. 21:43:47 right. yes. 21:44:09 What are your thoughts? Add back the properties that were stripped out? 21:44:47 incorporate parts of Chris/Josh's test case dtd? 21:45:00 well, if a TPDL lanuage exists at all, it will be separate from EARL. Well, IMO it should be separate from EARL. Even Al said it would be good as a Semantic WEb project, but I'm damned if I'm going to be able to work on that as well, what with another degree coming up and so forth, so the course for EARL looks a bit shaky 21:45:32 do you think more needs to be stripped from earl to remove the greyness? 21:45:40 well, the question is whther or not to standardize a TPDL, and then if so, how do we incorporate that into EARL assuming that it doesn't turn out as an RDF language, and if not, how EARL copes with the mess that will be created 21:45:51 I'm not sure if we need to remove stuff, or add it, or what 21:45:59 well... let me slow down a bit... 21:46:06 what was your reaction to Dimitris' post? 21:46:28 it seemed to me that he was saying the DOM TS ML was specific to DOM and not something to base other test suites on. 21:47:22 we have the pointer to the test case at the end of the statement. That's al;ways going to be there. The more sympathetic the test case is to EARL, the less mess we end up with in EARL itself. At a level of full compatability iwth EARL (i.e. if TPDL is an RDF language), we can just simply put the URI in the reified triple. THat would be the perfect, most wonderful solution that coyld happen, and we can all go for a drink and dance around the maypole 21:47:29 so we're faced with the alternatives... 21:47:42 yeah, I'm still digesting what Dimitris wrote 21:47:53 then there is the test case vs test distinction. 21:47:57 maypole :) 21:47:59 * AaronSw wonders what a TPDL is. 21:48:05 he said that if TPDL was standardized, that he'd try to move over to it, which I thought was really cool 21:48:14 TPDL - Test Point Definition Langauge 21:48:22 yes, he seems very open to finding an elegant solution. 21:48:26 Ah. 21:48:38 * AaronSw hits a problem in rdfapi and reads IRC logs to cope 21:48:56 but, that's a lot of work that somebody will have to do. The problem with the legant solution is that it takes work away from DOM TS and EARL (good), but heaps it all into a group that will have to be chartered to cope with it, surely 21:49:14 and it's going to be months, if not years, until a good TPDL is created 21:49:23 seems that it is NISTs job. 21:49:26 they are the experts. 21:49:32 and even then, it will probably end up being less than compatable with either EARL or DOM TS 21:49:43 yeah, but are NIST keeping an eye on EARL and the DOM TS? 21:49:46 * wendy wonders about large corps that do testing...they must have something...likely proprietary. :( 21:50:10 actually, NIST has participated some in DOM TS, but I think are drooling over QA participation. 21:50:20 thus, expect if it is to happen, it will be in QA. 21:50:21 If QA sat down and did it, it would benefit us. if someone else does it, we'll have even more of a headache, waiting for them to finish, and so forth 21:50:30 esp. w/DD as one of the leads. 21:50:45 yeah, absolutely 21:50:53 thus, you and i just need to join QA! help make it happen! :) 21:51:19 heh, with all the bundles of free time that we have, eh? :-) 21:51:24 i'm way psyched on all of this testing stuff. the F2F really jazzed me. 21:51:38 free time. :) 21:51:52 And the validator folks are joining QA too... it's getting quite popular it seems. 21:52:08 let me tell you about free time: on my way back from australia at the end of november, i will take the following patH: 21:52:14 the problem is, we've been working on EARL for ages and ages now, and with just one more turn of the wheel, it could be basically compltete. And now there's the problem of the TPDL, which could be a whole other process... aaargh! I just want to get EARL finished 21:52:15 melbourne, singapore, london, seattle. 21:52:28 heh, zig-zagging a bit there? 21:52:33 i'm going the wrong way around the world! 30+ hours! 21:52:56 Eek 21:52:57 That gives you 30 hours of free time! Whooopee. :) 21:53:01 Heh: Subject: Google Groups account verification misuses HTTP GET 21:53:13 from Gerald on www-archive@w3.org 21:53:19 That's Gerald for you. 21:53:34 finishing EARL: will it every be? :) 21:53:55 TSDL: it would be extremely cool, but it seems part of the second phase. 21:54:03 there's still tons of work to do for earl. 21:54:17 yeah, but TPDL should hav come first, and it's coming second! 21:54:18 most elegant solution includes TSDL, but earl at least makes current situation better. 21:54:27 hindsight is 20/20. 21:54:34 yeah, true 21:54:47 we should have thought about users as well as devs, but we focused on devs and now jim ley is upset. 21:54:52 ya live. ya learn. 21:55:00 ah, he'll get over it 21:55:11 and anyway, EARL 0.95 is unimplementable to devs right now 21:55:25 right. so will we. EARL came first, TPDL will come second. egg before chicken as it were, I guess. 21:55:43 yeah 21:56:02 yikes, unimplementable? missed ya there. what do you mean? 21:56:06 O.K., so I ask you: what do you want me to do now? 21:56:12 oh, O.K., hang on... 21:56:28 unimplementable: well, we're going to change it substantially, I hope 21:57:18 there are so many little bits which just bug the crap out of me that we could do with changing now. But then there is the resistance from Chaals, which is valuid, and goes something like "we've already learned a lot, we have a lot more to learn" 21:57:35 I had hoped that using RDF for all of this would soften the blow. But.. um... it hasn't really 21:57:54 well, it has. Just not as much as I would have hoped 21:58:15 the blow of what? implementability? 21:58:20 the 0.9 to 0.95 thing was really cool 21:58:27 the blow of version changes 21:58:32 ah. gotcha. 21:59:02 now, if we go to 1.0, we are in effect saying "this is done, go implement it" 21:59:26 what was nick's reaction? 21:59:32 TPDL is threatening, because it means we cannot conceivably come up with the above until we work out how it fits in with EARL 21:59:38 Nick's reaction to what? 21:59:53 possibly moving to 1.0 in the midst of implementing 0.95. 22:00:04 oh, I don't think I told him yet :-) 22:00:07 lol 22:00:22 and I should note that it's not that 0.95 is unimplementable... it's that 1.0 will be better 22:00:32 yes. gotcha. 22:00:37 ok, then. here's what i know: 22:00:45 1. we don't have a tpdl yet. 22:00:58 2. we want to make sure earl can jive w/tpdl once it exists. 22:01:06 3. but we need to go ahead w/earl. 22:01:15 therefore, i suggest that we anticipate earl 2.0. 22:01:25 earl 1.0 exists today w/out tpdl. 22:01:30 once tpdl exists, we modify earl. 22:01:51 only problem then is need to make sure all earl 1.0 data doesn't go stale 22:02:01 and that there is some sort of easy migration like from 0.9 to 0.95 22:02:01 * sbp sobs 22:02:19 0.9 to 0.95 was easy 'cause we just bugfixed it 22:02:37 1.0 to 2.0 will be scary 22:02:55 but not impossible? 22:03:14 as long as no data is added, no. it's not impossible 22:03:40 and, data is likely to be added in 2.0 to jive w/tpdl. 22:03:43 right? 22:03:52 You guys need to stop worrying -- it's not like your data has been frozen in 4000 set-top boxes across the country yet. 22:04:01 I'm not sure what TPDL is (it doesn't exist yet), so I can't say for sure 22:04:02 :) 22:04:07 :-) 22:04:26 how difficult would it be to come up with a skeleton of what tpdl might look like? 22:04:32 earl took a while since we were all learning. 22:04:41 tpdl might be easier since we've done some of this. 22:05:03 but, i still think tpdl is best owned by qa. 22:05:16 yes, I agree. You'd have to ask them, I guess 22:05:17 therefore, perhaps we try to get this on the qa agenda for their upcoming f2f? 22:05:38 oh, absolutely! 22:05:44 hmmm. 22:06:00 * wendy figures out how to fit in tpdl into w3.org/2001/10/22-earl-uaag/all.htm 22:06:19 let QA do it :-) 22:06:21 this was supposed to be my slideset for a presentation to the UA WG on monday, but i think it will be a more genearl resource. 22:06:35 it's a really good little page 22:06:45 well, but i think we can offer some wisdom to get them started. 22:06:51 we've been thinking about this for quite a while! :) 22:06:55 thx. 22:07:03 so, WCAG would have to create test point stuff. How do you feel about that? 22:07:18 we already are and we need to do it. 22:07:27 WCAG needs to be less ambiguous. 22:07:35 AERT was born b/c of the ambiguities. 22:07:45 it should have come from WCAG in the first place. 22:07:48 well, a TPDL would both help and hinder GL as much as ERT, right? 22:07:59 yes. 22:08:05 yep, I certainly agree with that 22:08:31 also would help UA WG as working on test suite for UAAG's CR. 22:08:36 and XAG's CR 22:08:44 perhaps I'll look in my mailbox, and someone will have sent me a specification for a decent TPDL langauge in RDF? 22:08:48 * sbp checks his mail 22:08:51 :) 22:08:59 nah, oh well 22:09:05 sorry, you were saying? :-) 22:09:21 XAG's CR... oh, man... dependencies! 22:09:32 we should have done TPDL first! 22:09:41 lol 22:09:49 no, seriously! EARL would have been just chaff then 22:09:53 hey, are you going to write your conformance review of RDF to XAG in EARL? 22:10:21 Oh man, I had blissfully repressed that ACTION item 22:10:54 I've got to create this tool to help WCAG folk create EARL for test files...i thought i'd first test it out 22:11:03 on you and charles to do the XAG reviews. 22:11:16 still, I took the easy one (N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, fails, N/A, N/A), so that's good 22:11:23 :) 22:11:58 I haven't thought much about mine yet. I took XSLT. my new favorite language (other than EARL, of course. :) 22:12:42 sbp has quit 22:12:45 SeanP has joined #swhack 22:12:52 SeanP has quit 22:13:05 sbp has joined #swhack 22:13:23 grgppgrh 22:13:40 XSLT rocks 22:13:42 tool? 22:14:02 22:10:54 I've got to create this tool to help WCAG folk create EARL [...] 22:14:16 yes. WART, basically. 22:14:20 ah 22:14:24 with CFM? 22:14:35 yes, although he's in grad school and swamped. 22:14:44 i'm likely to go it alone, primarily. 22:14:44 heh, heh 22:15:00 which will be fun. although i'm sure i'll be bugging you plenty. 22:15:06 bug ahead 22:15:12 thx 22:15:40 I think I should take up writing documentation 22:15:43 well, i'll write up some stuff on the tpdl and include it in this thing i'm working on. 22:15:48 actually, that's your decision 22:15:55 what should I do next for ERT? 22:16:09 well, hmmm. 22:16:24 i'm primarily concerned about what we are going to tell WCAG about using EARL on sites. 22:16:45 so, any help with that would be good. 22:17:05 just make something up! that's what I do 22:17:05 secondly, i'm still real interested in what bugs you about 0.95 and how you would move to 1.0. 22:17:20 that whole thing we discussed on monday. 22:17:32 :) 22:17:36 well, for a start: bug with 1.0: how do we make conformance claims about a whole site? 22:17:46 yes. that needs attention. 22:17:49 s/1.0/0.95 22:17:59 yes, that's how i read it :) 22:18:18 well, we could nick CWM's stuff for 0.95, or add something specialized to EARL 1.0 22:18:30 s/or/and\/or/ 22:18:40 Woooo! Test cases pass for rdfapi! 22:18:46 [[[ 22:18:46 It could be, for example:- 22:18:46 _:a earl:testSubject _:b . 22:18:46 _:b log:uri [ log:startsWith "http://example.org/" ] . 22:18:46 It may turn out that we add some terms in the EARL 1.0 vocabulary to offer 22:18:47 a "standardized solution" for this. 22:18:49 ]]] 22:18:53 Aaron: hooray! 22:19:06 There were a ton of bugs but it works! It really works! 22:19:15 rock on, aaron. 22:19:24 where'd it go, again? 22:19:37 * sbp should bookmark it 22:19:59 Let me upload... 22:20:22 ah, we could even say 22:20:53 _:x a earl:Site; earl:testSubject . # would that work? 22:21:03 sbp: what terms do you think we would need to add in EARL 1.0? "applies-across-domain" or "starts-at-base-uri" or stuff like that? 22:21:06 Aaron: would it be valid to say that? 22:21:26 It's well-formed RDF. 22:21:42 I'm not sure what you mean by valid... 22:21:43 yeah, we could add loads of stuff. I dunno why we were so conservative before: we should just add stuff 'till the schema explodes 22:21:51 lol 22:22:09 it doesn't matter if we add stuff and it's useless. It totally stuffs us if we don't add something and find we need it later on 22:22:22 valid: does it make sense? 22:22:49 * wendy considers how this would tie in w/html... 22:22:53 for example... if I wanted to use a single page as a test case, I'd do... oh actually no, I don't think it does make sense 22:23:13 tie in with HTML? 22:23:22 well... 22:23:35 lots of straws here... HTML base element... 22:23:45 unless we created a new disjoint class. Ooh, that might work 22:23:55 OK, it's at: http://blogspace.com/rdf/rdfapi.txt 22:23:58 HTML base element? 22:24:01 and http://blogspace.com/rdf/rdfapi-tests.txt 22:24:27 hmm. no nothing there. 22:25:12 there are two pieces that we need to look at here on out: 22:25:18 1. how the earl is structured 22:25:26 2. how the html references it 22:25:34 keep in mind the following scenario: 22:26:02 search engine ferrets out a set of pages that seem to fit the user's query then prioritizes them based on EARL. 22:26:14 based on EARL compared to user preferences. 22:26:24 hmmm. wonder if that means we would be keeping user preferences in EARL? 22:27:03 or rather what is the earl model (rather than how structured) 22:27:24 note to self: split :TestSubject up into smaller pairwise disjoint classes, restrict :testCase so that the domain is a union of those classes, spend ages telling people why I hacked it that way 22:28:02 Wendy: example user's query? 22:29:28 a user has uses a search engine (SE). SE knows that the user needs text equivalents (WCAG 1.0 cp 1.1) 22:29:50 SE searches database for user's query "rdf api tests" it finds several pages, but puts highest 22:30:02 priority on this one that claims it conforms to WCAG 1.0 cp 1.1 22:30:09 not the most compelling example... 22:30:40 the user could also say, "don't show me sites that don't make a claim, since they'll likely be useless to me." 22:30:44 ah, I get it now. No, you're right 22:31:15 about which part - user prefs in EARL? 22:31:53 er... the preferences file would be something like a filter in whatever you're using to process the EARL, which in this case in the SE. The filters would be in whatever query/inference language the SE implements, which is annoying... standardized inference language, please! 22:32:08 did I get that right? 22:33:45 sounds reasonable, although I don't know that much about SEs. 22:33:46 neither do I 22:33:59 know anyone who does? 22:34:10 Nick, perhaps? 22:34:24 worth a shot. 22:34:30 we ought to take this to the list for discussion. 22:34:35 it's been really helpful. 22:34:44 this is publicly archived somewhere, right? 22:34:49 IRC has actually been productive.
