  • 1.  Call for dissent csprd01 comments 007, 008, and 027 - have internal/external option in resource data module

    Posted 07-02-2013 19:33
    After today’s TC conference call and discussions I am proposing we make the following changes to the Resource Data module:   1.       Change <res:source> and <res:target> to be analogous to skeleton (as per TC resolution of comments 007 and 008) in the following manner: a.       The elements are EITHER empty AND contain an href for an external file reference. b.       OR they contain XML elements from any namespace and forbid use of href. c.       Mime-type attribute is made optional 2.       Re csprd01 027: Allow <res:resourceData> at <file>, <group>, and <unit>   If anybody has suggestions or objections to these changes, please let me know by 09 July. Otherwise, I will consider these issues resolved, and update the spec.   Thanks, Ryan   From: xliff@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:xliff@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Ryan King Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2013 2:43 PM To: Dr. David Filip; xliff@lists.oasis-open.org; bryan.s.schnabel@tektronix.com Subject: [xliff] RE: Re csprd01 comments 007, 008, and 027 - have internal/external option in resource data module   David, I agree 100% with this proposal.

    Ryan, this is a minor comment/ammendment. I'd say that the mime type attribute will be still necessary in case of external file reference. This should be expresses as a constraint in the spec. Remember, we re-qualified some of the PRs as constraints during the F2F, so this is one more case.

    Sorry, I made a mistake in the proposal. I added <group> to the list of extension points in #2. Additionally, I think it makes sense to rename and make clear the scope of the  resourceDataID attribute now. So, one more, hopefully the last, update to the proposal: 1.      Change <res:source> and <res:target> to be analogous to skeleton (as per TC resolution of comments 007 and 008) in the following manner: a.       The elements are EITHER empty AND contain an href for an external file reference.                                           i.      Mime-type attribute is required b.       OR they contain XML elements from any namespace and forbid use of href.                                           i.      Mime-type attribute is optional                      2.       Re csprd01 027: Allow <res:resourceData> at <file> and <unit>. 3.       Rename resourceDataID to resFileRef with the following description: “ Resource Data File Reference - Holds a reference to an associated <resourceData> element at the <file> level. Again, if anybody has suggestions or objections to these changes, please let me know by 09 July. Otherwise, I will consider these issues resolved, and update the spec.
