Title: Meeting Agenda
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to get the Agenda Items out early today. I have worked on
them over the weekend, so you have quite a bit of explanatory material
for each item. We have a lot of work to get done this session. That's
why I have tried to elucidate each more fully than normal, which isn't
difficult since we don't usually have a set agenda for normal ongoing
work. Well, October 31, 2002 is different from March 31, 2002 for a
number of reasons.
While we will be hitting only our second major deliverable for this
year, hopefully, it still represents positive progress and that lends
us more credence on the simple face of it. In many respects this may
be the most important milestone we ever achieve. This is because, if
my intuition about the current state of affairs in web standards
efforts is even partially accurate, we can look forward to a
significant increase in both our membership and in the difficulty we
face reaching our second major milestone and the individual
application area subcommittee sub-specificifactions that are to follow
on.
The reasons for this are:
* web services and web security (aka
single-sign-on-authentication and personalization information formats
and policies) will be delivering their initial specifications in the
early quarters of 2003. The two TCs I belong to in this arena,
WSIA-WSRP, are scheduled to deliver version 1.0 of the Interface
Specification in January 2003, though that scheduling is, I think, a
bit too aggressive;
* once we have a specification submitted for the OASIS
approval process, our status as a TC will be enhanced and so will our
reputation as a serious effort to standardize what will eventually
be the single most important aspect of the web--individual
information. And that will be the single most important
source of marketing research and resources, so there will be an
imperative for the corporate world to co-opt this effort one way or
another for their own (from their viewpoint) very legitimate
reasons, so we will have much more attention than we have
previously, though this may take a few months (I hope.);
* the very first set of sample applications we produce will, and,
I think, must include a specific set of interoperable (but
secondary-not primary) individual identification items gathered
into a simple program that can be immediately implemented once a
national and/or International authentication standard is established,
for greater depth of preferential information (this should be a
priority, even if it looks as if there is are as few as two major
contenders, as opposed the current set of many--but it seems unfair
that we actually must court the very attention which will make our
work so much more difficult, proving, no doubt, that virtue is its own
punishment.);
* the semiotic processor, which I hope is among the first sample
implementations, however we configure it in terms of licensing and
IPR, will, once it is understood, very likely set the computing world
on its collective ears--this marks what is called a sea change
[(see:
http://istpub.berkeley.edu:4201/bcc/Fall2001/feat.2ndgenweb.html )
by associating content with clear categories of communication
identified by: type, eg. advertisement, press release, academic
study, etc; level of abstraction, eg. simple statement-level
1-no response or interaction requested/allowed, simple question-level
1-response requested/required, etc; and, cultural context, eg,
American Spanish/English-speaking, mid-income, Catholic, Mixed
Mexican/Mestizo, Southwest Geographic Region]; (Note, this description
is a rough approximation of the second level of semiotic processing,
after the initial work on identifying semiotic entities and levels of
abstraction have been completed--the world will probably not get
excited about that because it will sound like a foreign language to
them, but once we have those concepts solidified and encoded, we start
capturing information in automatically useful categories from the
outset of any web-based communications and this is what will set the
semantic web on its ears, while making it useful at the same
time.)
* the concept of a Bill of Individual Information Rights is
going to draw attention to us, though I hope we can pass that idea on
to some other, better connected and equipped, political group or
established public service organization.
And THAT was the good news.
Here's the work we need to do.
Agenda items:
1. Primary Base Schema--Status Report--where do we stand, how will we
wrap it up. Do we need another meeting for end of month?
2. Requirements--Extensibility Mechanisms, makes the HM. Requirements
reach a new version number (Looks good, right? Rhetorical Question, we
shoulda thoughta that...)
3. Adjunct to Model Processes Using HumanML Elements, with Len,
hopefully, expanding a bit on what we need to do here.
4. RDFS to specify resources, measurement systems per Primary Base
Schema Elements, in which the writer will attempt to chat with Manos
again before the meeting.
5. Semiotic Processor for the Primary Base Schema starting at simplest
levels--In essence developing its own Primary Base specification for
processing communications in the most accurate way for correlating
levels of abstraction between communicants--this could be one of the
sample implementations since we have the sign, signal and symbol in
the Primary Base Schema.
6. Subcommittees plans to move forward into Secondary Base Schema
enumerations with RDF resource schemata to service each set of derived
enumerations
7. We need to begin thinking about sample applications since OASIS
requires 3 independent applications using the specification as part of
the approval process.
Here are my initial suggestions for some sample implementations:
--The
semiotic processor (See 5)
--The
preferential ID material (See third sequential bullet point above)
--A VRML/X3D
starter Human (basically done:
http://www.starbourne.com/X3D
but needs to be a VRML world window and have some very basic animated
behaviors programmed for a Chat Application Introduction with chat
typed and sound, if possible using speech synthesis, saying: "Hi,
I'm rexb, avatar for [HUMAN: Name:] Rex Brooks; Whose address is
[Address: Number/Street:] 1361A Addison; [City:] Berkeley; [State:]
California; [Postal Code:] 94702")
I think that James Landrum and Rob Nixon may be able to cast some
collaborative work that they are doing so that it can be used as a
sample implementation or a sample implementation that can use the data
they collect in an upcoming collaboration.
I suggest we keep the implementations separate even though they could
be combined so that it is clear that they are separate
implementations.
We need more suggestions.
All this and Global Attributes, too. What more could we want?
Another Rhetorical Question.
Ciao,
Rex
