RE: [xliff] Minutes of the XLIFF TC August 6th. 2002
Hi 
Mark,

 

My 
understanding is that was discussed but not proposed or agreed. 

 

Tony/ 
Yves,

 

Could 
you confirm which version of this is the correct one.

 

Thanks,

 

Peter.

Hi Peter, 

I had thought we 
  agreed to remove the 'Naming Convention' section from the specification 
  altogether. If I have got this wrong I would like to formally propose removing 
  it from the specification on the basis that it constitutes a TC policy or 
  guideline as opposed to information relevant to the actual XLIFF 
  specification. 

Regards, 
  
Mark 

P.S. Due to vacation, please accept my apologies for the next 
  meeting

Minutes 
  of the XLIFF TC August 6th. 2002

1/ 
  Attendance:  Jonathan Clark, Tony Jewtushenko,  Mark Levins, 
   Mat Lovatt,
John Reid, Peter Reynolds, Yves Savourel, Mirek Driml, 
  Reinhard Schaler,
David Pooley.
Apologies:  John Corrigan, Enda 
  McDonnell, Christian Lieske
Observer: Bryan 
  Schnabel.

2/ Minutes of the last meeting 
  were agreed as a correct record.

3/ 
   Work in progress

Migration policy: 
  This was agreed unanimously in an email ballot with 10
votes in 
  favour.

Formalized Extensibility: Yves 
  presented the work on Formalized
Extensibility. He raised the issue that 
  there had been little feedback on
attribute lists from the TC members. It 
  was decided that Yves would complete
work on this document which would then 
  be sent to TC. Members could have a
day to reply with clarifications before 
  this went to a ballot vote.

Embedded 
  XLIFF: Yves presented this document and said there were three ways
Embedded 
  XLIFF could be implemented. These are:
1/ Embedding a Full XLIFF 
  Document
2/ Embedding One or More XLIFF Constructs
3/ Embedding 
  Localization Directives
Yves suggested that the TC should look at this to 
  decide on Embedding
Localisation 
  directives.
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200206/msg00013.html
It 
  was greed that we would look at this and discuss it later.
Yves will send 
  out a snippet of this specification.
Working draft
Naming conventions: 
  There was a discussion on this which decided the
following changes to the 
  list in the Elements and Attributes section (1.1.1)
of the section on 
  Naming Convention (1.1) :
The wording for item 3 is changed to 'Hyphen is 
  the preferred means of
creating composite names'.
Item 4 and 5 were 
  deleted. Deletion of item 5 was proposed by John and
seconded by Mark and 
  agreed unanimously after some discussion.
Item 6 is changed to 'A single 
  attribute definition will exist for each
attribute name'. For example coord 
  refers to co-ordinates and nothing else.
In section 1.1.2 it was agreed 
  that the second paragraph be changed to say
'semi-colon as a list separator 
  for values' instead of 'semi-colon as a
concatenation separator for 
  values'
With section 1.1.3 it was agreed that the second paragraph would be 
  removed
and the references to Processing Instructions will be removed from 
   the
description of <context>, <context-group> and 
  <prop-group>.
Section 1.1.4 - The second sentence which refers to 5.3 
  filenames will be
removed.
There was also some debate about whether or 
  not there was a need to have the
Naming Conventions section in the 
  published specification.
Group-order: It was agreed that the spec would be 
  modified so that the
ordering was systematic and this will be enforced by 
  the schema.
The issues raised by Christian were deferred to the next 
  meeting when he
should be present.
4/ LISA Conference
It is planned 
  to have a face to face meeting with video links at the LISA
conference. 
  Tony will confirm the date for this after consulting with those
traveling 
  to Heidelberg. Christian will be asked to organise the video
conference at 
  the German side. The meeting will take place at 5 PM (Germany)
to give all 
  members of the TC the opportunity to attend.
Yves and Christian have sent 
  out their draft presentation which was very
positively received. They would 
  like case studies for this. Mark agreed to
do a case study on the Domino 
  Global Workbench tool. It was suggested we
should have a number of similar 
  case studies of XLIFF being used.

  meeting: September 17th. 2002
