melvster1: rhiaro: just catching up on your conversation. nothing is wrong with the parsers. Indeed, according to spec the parser would not be responsible for dereferencing a fragment. The user of the parser can certainly look at that after the fact, but the fact is you lose those IDs when you parse, so i don't think it really makes sense.
#
ben_thatmustbeme
the only possible way to get around that i would see would be to suggest the parsers keep the id values of parsed items
#
ben_thatmustbeme
perhaps the correct way to do it is that you should be fetching the html, finding that fragment, then passing only that section to the parser, again, its a problem before it gets to the parser.
#
melvster1
ben_thatmustbeme: sounds good
#
ben_thatmustbeme
otherwise its like claimning that CURL is in error because it fetches the whole page and not the fragment. it treats multiple URLs the same
#
ben_thatmustbeme
okay, shower time
#
melvster1
curl should fetch the whole page
#
melvster1
the parser just looks at the page and gets what it wants
#
melvster1
that's generally the way of doing things that ive observed
#
ben_thatmustbeme
The mf2 parser does not care what url the html came from but implementations filtering to only that fragment before passing to the parser would be good I think. Would solve the whole "subscribe to second feed on a page".

evanpro just published agenda for tomorrow's WG meeting
jasnell_ joined the channel
#
AnnB
question: will Zakim be used?
pfefferle joined the channel
#
AnnB
if not, the WebEx info needs to be inserted
#
AnnB
I'd do it, but don't have that info
#
AnnB
this might be the last time we can use Zakim for this meeting; not sure
#
AnnB
in any case, I can't be there, so good luck!
#
rhiaro
Hey AnnB, it was said last week that that was the last Zakim
#
rhiaro
I think arnaud might have emailed WebEx instructions... I'll have a look
#
rhiaro
Hm, I can't find one
#
AnnB
interesting link, melvster1!
#
AnnB
seems like we should coordinate with those guys
#
AnnB
a "Note", in the W3C world, is essentially someone documenting an idea
#
AnnB
they're putting it in the record, but it's not a standard recommendation or anything
#
melvster1
AnnB: sort of it's one below a REC, but for various reasons it doesnt become a REC, sometimes it's just politics, but normally they are technically sound, some Notes are better than RECS!
#
AnnB
yes on all that; was just trying to clarify for those who might not know
#
AnnB
in any case, thanks for highlighting that one
#
AnnB
seems directly relevant
#
melvster1
AnnB: ah ok, great ... this group may produce some Notes too
#
AnnB
do you know those guys or anything about it?
#
melvster1
no, just heard of it today
#
AnnB
we, in Boeing, are very keen on establishing foundational standards for how profile info is defined
#
AnnB
which is similar to contacts, but not quite the same
#
AnnB
we have many products coming in which have a 'profile' capability .. we want to have one master profile source, and then federate from that
#
melvster1
AnnB: can you say any more? id recommend : http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/spec/identity/

#
AnnB_
dang; got dropped
#
AnnB_
melvster1, last I heard, our security people use SAML for most things; are looking at OpenID Connect for mobile; and have not evaluated WebID
#
melvster1
AnnB_: webid is more about profiles, it's authentication agnostic
#
AnnB_
hmm .. guess we need to learn more
tilgovi joined the channel
#
AnnB_
thanks for that distinction
#
melvster1
essentially recommends using HTTP profiles with machine readable linked data
#
AnnB_
cool
#
AnnB_
I'll point this out to AdamB
#
melvster1
you might think such a thing is self evident, but you'd be surprised how few people do that, facebook are the main adopter so far
#
AnnB_
(who runs the internal social network, which is our profile repository)
#
ben_thatmustbeme
we said last week that it would be our last time on Zakim, and we are on webex this week
#
AnnB_
hmm, that's interesting
#
ben_thatmustbeme
to answer question from earlier
#
AnnB_
that's kind of what I remembered, Ben ... but I don't think we have the WebEx info yet
#
melvster1
AnnB_: actually people didnt want to write a spec for it, because it was felt to be "obvious" ... however when looking at the different systems out there, differences in profiles and lack of standardization there, seems to be one of the biggest causes of non interoperability
#
melvster1
personally, I think consensus on how to do profiles would be as useful, if not more useful, than a social api, because that's what everything gets built on, and it shows implementers how to work together, which we dont seem to have yet
the_frey and the_frey_ joined the channel
#
AnnB_
melvster1, that's one of our big hopes from social WG, is that we'll standardize the profile bits
#
melvster1
AnnB_: oh great! that was my hope too, but I didnt see it in the charter, so I was slightly concerned as to whether it would be foscused on
#
AnnB_
well, just cuz I say that's our hope .. doesn't mean it'll happen
#
AnnB_
nor that it's in the charter
#
melvster1
AnnB_: ah ok, got it ... is my hope too!
#
AnnB_
seems like it's been hard to get traction on this idea
#
AnnB_
maybe the more basic API needs to happen first?
#
melvster1
AnnB_: my feeling was that the API would be easier to spec out and implement, if profiles were understood, rather than, the other way round ... I guess we'll find out ...
#
AnnB_
hmm .. I'm not a developer, so don't have an opinion yay or nay
#
Loqi
giggles
#
melvster1
AnnB_: well all I can say is that with SoLiD we felt profiles were important enough to document and make into its own spec, so I hope it will be relatively easy to interoperate with SoLiD as we didnt create anything new just followed W3C RECS and linked data
#
AnnB_
cool

+1 understanding profiles, this is part of my PhD, AnnB_ and melvster1 :)
#
AnnB_
yay, rhiaro!
#
Loqi
woot
#
AnnB_
Loqi's little comments always make me smile
#
AnnB_
I'm eager for suggestions on what should be on the IG agenda for Wednesday

Sorry I'm out of the loop with the IG AnnB_, and I won't be able to make it this wednesday either

hi ben_thatmustbeme

#
AnnB
I saw your regrets, rhiaro; thanks .. darn!
#
ben_thatmustbeme
melvster1: confirmed that mf2 parsing algo only talks about parsing "a document" never says where you get it from. so really its parser libs that decided to include curl but never included frament lookup thats really to blame for indieweb ignoring fragments
#
ben_thatmustbeme
s/frament/fragment
#
ben_thatmustbeme
wrong week harry :/
#
melvster1
ben_thatmustbeme: thanks for the explanation!
#
ben_thatmustbeme
AnnB: actually we are moving to a 9 digit phone number system. didn't you get that memo? :P
#
AnnB
hehe
#
AnnB
one never knows with phones these days
#
ben_thatmustbeme
very curious on what IG says about future of IG
#
ben_thatmustbeme
what people are motivated to work on

#
AnnB
eager for ideas, ben_thatmustbeme, if you have suggestions
#
ben_thatmustbeme
it certainly depends on what people are interested in
