OASIS XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF) TC

  Hi,   In last meeting we talked about the possibility to publish core separated from modules. It seems we are not alone.   I recently attended a webinar from the DITA TC and the separation of the standard in two parts was announced. There will be a Base release containing only basic DITA stuff and later a Technical release will include specialized modules.   So, it looks like the idea is not so crazy after all.   Thoughts?   Rodolfo --  Rodolfo M. Raya https://www.maxprograms.com  

I support this approach 100%. It makes great sense that CAT tools makers might be more inclined to certify support for XLIFF Core, and then pick the modules they want to support. My opinion all along has been that the core specification is bloated with modules the community may not wish to specialize in. Looking forward to this debate in the TC meetings. I intend to take a very firm stand in favor of Rodolfo's proposed split.

I also support this approach and I am looking forward to discussing it in the TC meetings. Thank you Rodolfo for bringing
it up.
Best,

Hi,
 
In last meeting we talked about the possibility to publish core separated from modules. It seems we are not alone.

only basic DITA stuff and later a Technical release will include specialized modules.
 
So, it looks like the idea is not so crazy after all.

 
Thoughts?

I just saw this Rodolfo. There are many other examples at OASIS... - the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) Open Project developed a core spec and multiple associated specs ( https://github.com/oslc-op/oslc-specs/tree/master/specs - the OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC has the basic spec and then a number of associated modules ( http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ - XACML, the extensible access control language, has its core v3.0 spec and then a host of implementation/use case specific supporting specs ( https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=xacml#technical And there are others. So, yes, you're far from alone in taking this approach. /chet On Wed, Jun 23, 2021 at 8:20 AM Rodolfo Raya < rmraya@maxprograms.com > wrote: Hi, In last meeting we talked about the possibility to publish core separated from modules.
