Please vote on ( A ), ( B ), ( C ) and the Refinements C.1, C.2, C.3
individually, by email or skype chat. The procedure is approved by the
co-chairs.

PROPOSED ( A ): All skippable edges that currently are allowed to occur
in leaf form (in the compact serialization) and have a unique child
element in the non-empty version of their content model (in the
normalized serialization) should be eliminated in the leaf form from the
compact serialization (leaf form is already not allowed in the
normalized serialization). These include (exact list may be different
once the implementation is complete):

appliesAlternatives
appliesAssociations
appliesAssociation
appliesAuthority
appliesJurisdiction
appliesPenalty
toPrescriptiveStatement
appliesTemporalCharacteristics
appliesTemporalCharacteristic
fromLegalSources
hasComment
hasParaphrase
atTime
hasLegalSources
hasLegalSource
hasTemplate (in Constitutive, Override, Penalty, Prescriptive,
Reparation Statement)
hasTemporalCharacteristics
hasTemporalCharacteristic

PROPOSED ( B ): The normalized serialization be modified to allow "leaf"
edges in the same way they occur in the compact serialization, so there
is no need to transform these leaf edges when converting between the
compact and normalized serializations. For example:

<Role>
...
<filledBy keyref="#c1"/>
</Role>

is allowed in the compact serialization. As currently defined, this
must be changed to

<Role>
...
<filledBy>
<Actor keyref="#c1"/>
</filledBy>
</Role>

in the normalized serialization. The proposal would mean the original
would not need to be changed in the conversion to the normalized
serialization. On the other hand,

<Role>
...
<Agent key="c1" keyref="#c0">...</Agent>
</Role>

in the compact serialization would still need to be converted to
<Role>
...
<filledBy>
<Agent key="c1" keyref="#c0">...</Agent>
</filledBy>
</Role>

Note: if proposal ( A ) is approved, then proposal ( B ) will apply to
(much) fewer edges. This includes (exact list may be different once the
implementation is complete)

hasActor
filledBy
hasStrength
appliesStrength
hasTemplate (in Factual Statement)

Tara Athan: PROPOSED ( C )
Add two new elements <LegalReference> and <Source>

The usage would be as follows:
<LegalReference> and <LegalSource> are used only for the legal documents
and fragments thereof, while <Reference> and <Source> are used for
everything else.

<...Reference> is used for non-IRI identifiers and <...Source> for IRI
identifiers.

There is a corresponding change required to the Vocabulary.

Refinements. (Dependent on Proposal ( C ).
1. restrict xml:base to the root (keep it optional there)
2. restrict values of keyref in lrml elements to the form "#..."
3. restrict values of keyref in ruleml elements to the form ":..."

Note that these latter two refinements mean that users *must* use the
<...Reference> and <...Source> elements to define local identifiers for
external identifiers if they want to refer to them using keyref. It also
enforces the use of the default prefix for local CURIEs.
