Minutes: Present: Bryan Schnabel, Dimitra Anastasiou, Lucia Morado Vazquez, Arle Lommel, Rodolfo Raya, Peter Reynolds, Asgeir Frimannsson, David Filip. Regrets: Yves Savourel, Christian Lieske - Bryan summarized agenda items for today’s meeting. - Bryan moved to accept previous minutes. Arle seconded and none objected. - Asgeir explained his proposal to have conformance requirements for applications based on what applications MUST or SHOULD do as described in the specification. - Lucia asked how applications conformance can be checked. Asgeir replied that it is very difficult and may not be possible to declare conformance of applications. Lucia mentioned an application adding attributes from XLIFF 1.0 to XLIFF 1.2, something that could be regulated with a conformance section for applications. - Rodolfo mentioned that he already explained his position regarding conformance for applications and will accept the decision of the majority without further arguments. - Bryan summarized Christian’s proposal for different levels of conformance. - David summarized his position regarding the need to include application conformance in the specs. - Bryan asked if we are ready to vote on the content of the conformance section. David proposal for ballot was changed and the new terms are: 1. Each element and data type must be accompanied by clearly specified conformance criteria 2. Conformance criteria are only valid with specific targets (such as document, processor etc.) 3. Conformance criteria must be boolean, i.e. satisfied or failed, no shades of grey or levels of support. 4. Conformance criteria must include well-formedness (schema conformance) and processing requirements 5. Processing requirements must be defined in terms of well-formedness (schema conformance) and specific allowed values of elements and data types before and after processing. - David moved to conduct a roll call ballot. The ballot passed by majority. - Rodolfo asked David to prepare the text for the conformance section that will be included in the specification document. - Bryan started to convert current specification from HTML to DocBook and is slowly making progress. - Peter explained current status for publishing XLIFF as an ISO standard. ISO requests that OASIS enters ISO with its own representatives. Additional conversations are being carried out and it’s taking a long time. Peter will ask if he needs assistance from TC chairs. - Dimitra created a Google group for discussing sematic web and invited all members to participate. She’s experimenting with XSLT transformations on XLIFF files. - Dimitra reported that the Inline text subcommittee started working on new action items. - Lucia mentioned that the latest issue of Multilingual magazine mentions the XLIFF Symposium that took place in Limerick. Bryan commented that JoAnn Hackos mentioned it in the CIDM newsletter. - Bryan suggested a poll for checking availability for December and January meetings. Lucia will create the poll. - Meeting adjourned.
