<h3 id="item03">User Stories</h3>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tpa</cite>&gt; one action was
closed</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tpa</cite>&gt; I just closed it</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> Any progress since last
week? We should probably just wrap them up, drop unfinished
ones. Any issues with that?</p>

http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/UserNarratives</a></p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> It seems close to
"done". We shouldn't spend too much more time on this.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; what is the
relationship between the UserStories and the UserNarratives</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>tpa</cite>&gt; we talked about this
last week</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>Adam</cite>&gt; think the groups were
already there harry</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> This needs a strong
editor. Henry, Oshani and Tim have sort of volunteered.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/UserStories#Groups">
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/UserStories#Groups</a>
is empty</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; I am happy to step
you through the process of making this is HTML document...</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>tpa:</cite> I was talking with Henry
about this, making them more readable. Dan A gave me an OK to
flesh out this idea.<br />
... This is on the User Narratives wiki page.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>Adam</cite>&gt; <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/UserNarratives">
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/UserNarratives</a></p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> What should a
roll-your-own-Social-Network tool implement?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Ah, I see now.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>tpa:</cite> There are three types of
users we want to address - end users, developer concerns,
business concerns.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; This page is
great!</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; +1 tpa, the list is
too long.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>Adam</cite>&gt; my understanding was
that they were a way to weave together the user scenarios in to
a larger background</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>tpa:</cite> Aim is to take a big list
and make it more readable/consumable/relatable.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> What can we do to
help?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>tpa:</cite> We have four narratives.
(Fourth one is about corporate usage.)</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; I can do a prison
story if you like</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Which actions?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Which action was
done last week?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; hehe bblfish</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>tpa:</cite> End user story can be
written by tpa. Need help with developer and business
stories.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; ;-)</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; what do you mean
business standpoi nt?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>Adam</cite>&gt; i think tpa means from
a startup standpoint</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; by business stories
do you mean corporate story?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>tpa:</cite> This may be a matter of
taking existing user stories and considering them more from a
developer/business angle.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>cperey:</cite> Different between
corporate and business stories?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; can you put a URL to
the third story?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; <a href=

<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; Zoe's ...</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>tpa:</cite> Corporate = social networks
in a corporate context. Business = tech is not an end in
itself; social networks are businesses.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; <a href=

<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; thinks maybe cperey
could run with the business angle</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; agree christine</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>cperey:</cite> Third story seems to be
about how social networks can make money. Is that right?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; that's where I want
to be so I'm happy to drive it!</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>tpa:</cite> Yes - precisely. I'd welcome
your help on this cperey.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; i would like to

<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Should these be

corporate (4th) story.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Adam:</cite> yes, that's right.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>tpa:</cite> Can we talk more about this
next week?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>Adam</cite>&gt; peer pressure :)</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; +1</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; sorry btw, to have
been out of the loop for the last few weeks</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> We've got a backlog of
actions. We'll put overdueness indicators beside each of them
and start dropping the ones that seem static.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Let's say end of

<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> OAuth takes care of
security/authorisation part.<br />
... But how do we find out what services a person uses, their
preferences, their friends, etc?<br />
... Started by looking at how to make OAuth easier.<br />
... Has expanded into 5 or 6 specs across multiple
standardisation bodies.<br />
... It's a big/common problem. Value in solving it
consistently.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; +1 to links being
fundamental building block</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> Links are a fundamental
building block. If I've got a URI, I can get a representation
of that and find more links from it.<br />
... Using HTML &lt;link&gt; elements we started to run into
some problems.<br />
... Adding the links changes to documents and violates the
purity of the document.<br />
... Retrieving the documents is a lot of work.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>PhilA2</cite>&gt; See <a href=
"http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-http-link-header-06">
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-http-link-header-06</a></p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> So we've been looking at
the HTTP "Link" header which was taken out of HTTP 1.1 but
we're trying to bring back.<br />
... Allows links in the HTTP header itself.<br />
... HTTP also used to have LINK and UNLINK methods in addition
to GET, POST, etc.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; I vaguely remember
hearing/reading from Roy that the removal of "Link" from HTTP
was a cut-and-paste error :)</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; <a href=
"http://www.w3.org/Protocols/9707-link-header.html">http://www.w3.org/Protocols/9707-link-header.html</a></p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>jar</cite>&gt; no, that was removal of
Link: header, not LINK method</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> Still looking for ways to
make this better. Sometimes resources don't have a
representation at all, so GET/HEAD don't return anything
useful.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; ah</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; meant link header
:)</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> Yadis/XRDS uses content
negotiation to do this. You'd make a request for a URI and ask
for XRDS and get a description.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; interesting point
re misbehaving proxies for conneg.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> But this doesn't seem to be
an appropriate use of conneg. And big consumers like Yahoo
refused to use it because of the risk of broken proxies.<br />
... But how about using a pattern which maps between resource
URIs and description URIs. We spent 6 months trying to figure
out where to store that mapping pattern.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Am a bit confused
about relationship between host-meta and .well-known</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> We came up with two
solutions. One was a well-known document called first
site-meta, then host-meta, then .well-known.<br />
... There isn't a good way of storing this information other
than well-known locations. (Other than DNS, more on that
later.)<br />
... HTTP OPTIONS looked promising, but not cachable or widely
implemented/understood.<br />
... LRDD tries to unify all these ideas. If you have a resource
identified by a URI, there are three paths to find descriptions
for it. (Not all of them will always be available.)</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>PhilA2</cite>&gt; Eran's excellent
summary of this issue from September 2008 is at <a href=
"http://hueniverse.com/2008/09/discovery-and-http/">http://hueniverse.com/2008/09/discovery-and-http/</a></p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> 1. &lt;link&gt; elements
within document; 2. Link HTTP headers; 3. host-meta.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; +1 order of
precedence</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> LRDD started as a very
generic solution, but we plan on making it less generic because
host-meta/.well-known provides alternative building-blocks for
more flexible solutions.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>bblfish</cite>&gt; I had a question
earlier</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>PhilA2</cite>&gt; This document
<a href=
"http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/mime-respect">http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/mime-respect</a>
suggests that HTTP Link should be the first/most
authoritative</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> What if different
sources of metadata contradict each other? What are the social
web use cases?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> If you use OpenID, you're
starting with an identifier. The application then needs to
figure out from that how to authenticate you.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Exactly, that's
where LRDD or some notion of "authoritative" metadata algorithm
would be useful.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> Because OpenID is a
security protocol, it's important that all apps use the same
approach - otherwise conflicting data could be very
problematic.<br />
... OpenID thus has a very well-defined order of precedence
when looking for links.<br />
... For LRDD, when you take a URI, you need to figure out which
description methods are available to you.<br />
... Once you know your options, the issues are which do you try
first, and what happens if you get different response
codes?<br />
... Link header is defined differently to other headers. A
"Link" header on an HTTP 401 page is a link from the error
page, not a link from the thing you asked for.<br />
... If there's a 303, do you follow the redirection and use the
links at the destination; or both?<br />
... Different people will want to take different
approaches.<br />
... Some will want to slurp up as much data as possible; some
will want to stop as soon as they find what they need.<br />
... LRDD right now is essentially an inventory of your
options.<br />
... Another way we could have written LRDD would be to say
which order you should check descriptions.<br />
... Right now we want to move to a very deterministic approach,
because the building blocks are still there for those who want
to do things differently.</p>

<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> &lt;link&gt; doesn't
have a centralised registry. HTML5 has a wiki page. IANA might
be starting a registry.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; all we have right
now is ATOM :)</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>PhilA2</cite>&gt; (The link I posted
was for Atom)</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> mnot started resurrecting
Link and merging it with the Atom &lt;link&gt; registry.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Maybe just update
that Atom page?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Or maybe not...</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> Some relationships have
very specific meanings for particular media - e.g.
rel="stylesheet" in HTML.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>PhilA2</cite>&gt; HTTP Link Header
draft establishes a new registry. See <a href=
"http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-http-link-header-06#section-6.2">
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-http-link-header-06#section-6.2</a></p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; sounds like
rdfa</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> People expect relationships
to have semantic meanings like "parent" or "copyright". Some
people want to restrict the media type / format of the linked
object.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; well, this would be
a way to give something like "foaf:Person" a shortname</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; and solve the
rather infamous namespace issue, i.e.what if people forget the
namespace for certain well-known RDF vocabularies?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> We'll probably have two
types of relationship - some which are useful across different
contexts - and these will be registered.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>Zakim</cite>&gt; mhausenblas, you
wanted to ask on XRD deployment (re update on <a href=
"http://linkeddata.deri.ie/tr/2009-discovery)">http://linkeddata.deri.ie/tr/2009-discovery)</a></p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> Other than that you can use
a URI for a relationship type and you don't need to register
it.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; sure, but the
beauty of rdf is that you can say anything, why have to wait
for a standard to be drawn out</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; +1 tinkster</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>PhilA2</cite>&gt; yeay!</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; +1 for having a
centralized registries</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> For HTML5 we hope to avoid
the need for different registry.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>mhausenblas:</cite> Do you have any info
on the XRD deployment base?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> it's going through OASIS.
We've got another change to align better with Atom's links that
still needs to happen.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; mmm gmail foaf
page?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> In terms of deployment,
it's used in Gmail/Yahoo for WebFinger. Not much data there.
Gmail point to some FOAF.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; is that out already
?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> We're waiting for some of
the missing pieces to drop into place, especially LRDD.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> What's the relationship
between .well-known and host-meta?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; has one been
deprecated?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> Originally wanted to have
one document called site-meta which would be *the* place to
link to other documents. No more well-known URIs ever.<br />
... It was then renamed to host-meta because site is not the
right term.<br />
... But people said it would never work - it adds too much
indirection.<br />
... Concerns that "/host-meta" might already be used on some
hosts.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; Ah, good point re
someone getting /hoste-meta</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> So instead we decided that
any well-known paths are OK, so long as they start with
"/.well-known/" and are registered.<br />
... But rather than require people to register well-known
documents, they can still use host-meta to store data if that's
more suitable.<br />
... An HTTP server on port 80 also has authority to provide
host-meta data for other services on other ports (but the same
host name).</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> Any more questions?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>jar</cite>&gt; TAG is trying to track
this, but there needs to be more coordination</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; are you there
tinkster</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; i can scribe</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>jar</cite>&gt; (actually I meant more
coordination within W3C!)</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> I'm in constant touch with
W3C TAG; make sure they're aware of this work and provide
feedback.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; does the W3C need
to track the LRDD, and similar outputs from the OpenID/OAuth
world</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> Role of W3C should be
formats, more ways of describing metadata, making RDF easier to
use for descriptions.<br />
... W3C doesn't seem agile enough to support these communities.
That's a bigger topic - how do we get the audience of the W3C
to participate in these ideas without slowing down spec
generation?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>PhilA2</cite>&gt; Can't help noting
that POWDER is all about making RDF about lots of resources
easier to publish ;-)</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>jar</cite>&gt; among other things, W3C
should decide how to advise use of these link mechanisms for
nose-following... is POWDER the whole story?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hajons</cite>&gt; example host-meta:
<a href=
"http://gmail.com/.well-known/host-meta">http://gmail.com/.well-known/host-meta</a></p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> Maybe eventually we would
want to turn to W3C or similar for standardisation once the
specs are more stable.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>jar</cite>&gt; I mean RDF
nose-following specifically</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>PhilA2</cite>&gt; Even I wouldn't
claim POWDER's the whole story jar!</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> This has been discussed
extensively on TAG, so they're paying attention. TAG issues 62
and 63 relate to it.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>jar</cite>&gt; (POWDER needs credit
&amp; standing. gets overlooked)</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> It's been discussed a
lot recently what should be changed with RDF.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; interesting
hajons</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> At TPAC we discussed
what the W3C could do to become more agile. Incubator groups
seem a good start, but what would be better?<br />
... Can the W3C give advice on, e.g. how IP issues can be
resolved?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> W3C participation is very
expensive.<br />
... Open Web Foundation exists because a lot of people don't
want to work within established standards bodies.<br />
... Standards bodies can address some of these issues, but
others cannot be addressed because of the very nature of
standards bodies.<br />
... OAuth started as a bunch of people hacking at something to
try to make it work, but wanted a more "adult" spec, so turned
to IETF,<br />
... If XRD hadn't started within OASIS, then I would have taken
XRD Simple to the W3C once it was getting mature.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>caribou</cite>&gt; waiting until they
are in stable state is not saving time</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> Little communication
between standards bodies and communities.<br />
... Standards bodies need to look at how we can support this
work without getting jealous and competing.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> Right now W3C is
concentrating a lot on APIs.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>Zakim</cite>&gt; PhilA, you wanted to
chip in</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> We'd like to run our
final report by you.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> Sure.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>PhilA:</cite> Device Application Working
Group has taken ideas from outside the W3C.<br />
... I met Eran just over a year ago. If I'd seen XRD before we
started POWDER (or vice versa) we might not have ended up with
them both.<br />
... Some competition is inevitable because not everybody
communicates with everybody else.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> I meant more about
gratuitous competing standards.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> Academic journals - if
you have a good paper, there's often only one journal it should
be sent to.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; or is that
problematic?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>mischat</cite>&gt; i have to go now
people, will follow on IRC</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> Perhaps standards should
be endorsed by multiple different organisations. Perhaps W3C
should be able to say, "for this use case, take a look at this
spec".</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> W3C stamp means more than
"this is a good idea" - it has e.g. IP consequences.<br />
... With XRD we spent a year throwing things out.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; easier to let
people who start something finish it - like that point.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hajons</cite>&gt; have to go. thanks
for a great talk</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> But spec writing doesn't
need to take long. It would be good if there was an easy path
for turning a community spec into a standard.<br />
... The W3C already has the right expertise.</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; well, we could
imagine something like OWF or something jumping in where the XG
process is right here.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> I'm involved in this work
because of my day-job with Yahoo.</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>hhalpin:</cite> Thanks Eran. We'll be
wrapping up now.<br />
... Final Report should be in draft form in Jan/Feb. We'd like
to hear any ideas you've got.<br />
... What would you suggest we say in our summary of
OAuth/WRAP?</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>hhalpin</cite>&gt; At some point, we
should have serious discussion on maybe this topic - how to
avoid rubber-stamping?</p>
<p class='phone'><cite>Eran:</cite> I'm happy to talk about
this in the future. Now that it's 8am it's not so bad!</p>
<p class='irc'>&lt;<cite>cperey</cite>&gt; bye all</p>
