Consensus on boolean vs a yes/no enumeration restated:

Stick with yes/no enumeration becuase boolean default is false, while XLIFF defaults are yes. 

ACTION ITEM: [pending]

David-> Email the working list about keeping yes|no strings (according to the discussion today) and hearing Phil’s perspective as well as others.

 

AI Robert

Express all XLIFF 2.1 and 2.0 modules in JLIFF schema. Have 2.1 and 2.0 branches

*[Review progress]*

Robert seeked gudance on ITS module, given on 24th April

Previous Consensus: restated

We agreed to work on 2.1 branch first and only then fork the 2.0

DON'T reference the context file [for core and module] from schema or instances. This is tied via the spec [driven by version number] but not the instances, to prevent hammering of the context file.

Do we need to use a different separator for modules? underscore "_"?

Extensions always need to declare or reference their context inline.

AI Robert [DONE], implement meeting consenus for extension points. Extension data needs to start with context. Each extension will be one object. Try to allow them only where they're allowed in XLIFF

reviewed "element" extension points implemented as has map rather than an array in the latest commit https://github.com/oasis-tcs/xliff-omos-jliff/commit/85e7c3e0e8d88539df5b2eb7519d6735f84256e9

Consensus restated::

Don't use external context for extensions.

All extension context must be stated inline to avoid parsing external context files..

We also agreed that having a dedicated extension container is more validation friendly than just allowing additional properties on the root structure..

-Continue discussing pros and cons of the extensionsData approach

compare with XML and consider going back and forth between XML and JSON.

TBX-Basic mapping is in order, almost done on TBXInfo

Robert: I updated the schema according to the discussion in the previous meeting relating to the ITS module.  We prioritized items which were still missing, which I have added.

5.9.5 ITS Tools has been added now (annotatorsRef), which is an attribute in XLIFF, a property in JLIFF.  

Also added 5.9.6.2 "domains" (@ in XLIFF, prop. in JLIFF) with string content.  on elts file, group, unti.

David: Also needs to be on <sm> and <mtc:match>

Robert: locQualityIssues (a standoff elt) was missing last time. It has now been added (line 791 of jliff-schema-2.1.json).

I also defined the locQualityIssuesType so it would not need to be defined twice.  It is also used elsewhere in <sm>

provenanceRecords ref and standoff of provenanceRecords have been added.

Robert: We have to look at the ordering (which is not related to the spec).  I think it lacks structure so we should revisit adding dash prefixes

David:  I do think we will need a "-" instead of a ":"

Robert: Yes.

David:  I think "-" will be good for readability.

 

Robert: Tool Annotations has been added to <em> and <sm>

David:  It shouldn't be on <em>.  It is also on structurals (file, unit, group).  Unfortunately it is not in the XLIFF spec, but it is in the W3C spec.

Robert: That does make it harder to verify.  So, to confirm: it should only be on <sm>, and the structural elts

 

Steven: Does ITS itself have a schema?

David: No, but on W3C interest group there is some experimentation on how to express ITS.

Steven: I am wondering if, if ITS it is just an array, in JSON, the value should just be an array?

David: Can you have a single member array in JSON?

Robert: Yes

Steven: So, {in chat} "its-annotatorsRef":  [ "mt-confidience", "MT1 terminology", "ABC"]

Robert: Yes, this is just replacing the space separated list with a proper array in JSON.  mt-confidence and M! terminology would be separated by a |

Steven: Like this? {in chat} "its-annotatorsRef": "mt-confidience|MT1 terminology|ABC",

Steven: If it is trying to be more like an object, we could treat it as a dictionary: {in chat} "its-annotatorsRef":  { "mt-confidence": "MT1", "terminology": "ABC" }

 

David: There is an experimental JSON ITS, but it has not been further developed (http://www.w3.org/International/its/wiki/JSON%2BITS)

 

Robert: Are the keys unique?

David: Yes, it should be unique.  But the right hand side may be more tricky, because there is no way to prevent the right hand side.

Robert: That is fine, as long as the keys are unique.

 

David: Perhaps it would also be better to use an array with "domains".

 

Robert: After I do 5.9.7, the schema should be nearly finished.

[ACTION ITEMS]: 

Robert: look into mtc:match: Add "domains" to translationCandidatesMatch. 

Robert: remove Tools Annotations from <em>, add to the structural elements (file, group, unit)

Robert: create RegEx for value of annotatorsRef

Robert: Serialize annotatorsRef as an dictionary.

Robert: Serialize domains as a non-zero length array

Next Agenda:  Feedback on prefix solutions

David: Get feedback on the yes|no question

 

 

 

3- TBX Mapping

 

TBX-Basic mapping is in order, almost done on TBXInfo

 

David: TBX Steering Committee are in Hangzhou and James and I had a productive editorial meeting for the mapping.
