2. Material

Michal's proposal

https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=68625&wg_abbrev=lexidma

was discussed and compared with objectives set in

LEXIDMA TC Charter https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/lexidma/charter.php

agreed design principles https://github.com/oasis-tcs/lexidma/wiki/Fused-revised-design-principles/e0c2f377f58e2e8274806baf31c47bd9608709a1

in particular

  1. minimize number of technical options to express the same content

and some previoulsy agreed technical solutions https://github.com/oasis-tcs/lexidma/wiki/Documenting-current-consensus-on-possible-technical-solutions/2f879f094e5f904246edd27bc350ecdc8b19b367

in particular Multiword expressiions, homogrpahs etc.

The consenus of LEXIDMA TC members was that the proposed model is too flexible and not prescriptive or modular enough to fulfil agreed business objectives and design principles. ELEXIS gathered a large group of industry and academic observers, so that it can design DMLex as a simple, modular, and easily implementable prescriptive standard that will not be able to express all histrically used structures but will instead drive a widely interoperable best practice based solution.

Despite being too flexible for the intended DMLex Standard, the curernt proposal seems useful as a metamodel. The model Michal previously propsed https://github.com/oasis-tcs/lexidma/pull/3 seems as a more suitable instance of the same metamodel. [the PR was not merged becuase of incompatibilty with the OASIS template rather than because of its technical merits]

Even as a metamodel the currently discussed proposal shouldn't use the term "segment" for the "property bag" that clusters available expressions for lexicographic use in the proposed metamodel. Segment is a term widely used in related industry and standardization areas such as the localization and translation industry and Unicode related standards such as  UAX #29 https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/
