Is the tm to 100% similarity not close
to ICE enough? I still don't quite get the need of it.
Also, I would suggest not using "ibm"
for ID based match because that is too close to be confused as a match
from IBM memory.

[xliff] Type
values for the match element (Y22)
Sent by:

Hi all,
I think a few of the proposed values for the type attribute of the match
element should be changed:
We have:
am - Assembled Match
ebm - Example-based Machine Translation
ibm - ID-based Match
ice - In-Context Exact Match
mt - Machine Translation
tm - Translation Memory Match
- a) It seem to me that 'ebm' should be removed: Knowing the kind of MT
system produced the candidate is not the purpose here, or if it is then
we should also have values for rule-based MT, hybrid-MT, etc. IMO 'mt'
is enough. If some specific information is needed about the type of MT
that should be a different attribute.
I propose to remove 'ebm'.
- b) I think 'ice' (In-Context Exact Match) gives too much information:
the fact that a match is exact should be provided by the 'similarity' attribute.
You can have in-context match that are not exact.
I propose to change 'ice' to 'icm' and the definition to "In-Context
Match". We should also probably expand a bit the definitions, for
example a new comer may have hard time understanding what 'context' means
here.
Cheers,
-yves
