Fwd: slides for Melby presentation today at FEISGILTT

Dear all, 

the attached slides are joint work done between LRC and Alan Melby's translation research group at BYU. The slides and mapping have been elaborated by Alan's assistant James Hayes.

This was presented by Alan and found worthy by the participants of the 5.5 XLIFF Symposium last week in Vancouver.

It basically shows that a bidirectional lossless mapping between XLIFF 2.0 core + gls and TBX basic is possible and relevant for a number industry use cases. 

The proposal is to make 

[TBX basic] <-> [XLIFF 2.0 including gls module] mapping  an XLIFF 2.1 feature.

The mapping should be described in an Appendix similar to the ITS support appendix we are working on for the the ITS mapping. Unlike the ITS mapping the TBX basic mapping does not seem to require an extra namespace or module.

That's also why we think it is feasible to add this feature to 2.1 and not waiting for 2.2.

The current thinking is that the Appendix be informative from the XLIFF point of view but the TBX Steering Commitee at LTAC http://www.ltacglobal.org/ who should be in charge of developing freely available TBX based industry specifications can and will make normative references to the mapping.

Alan Melby and Hanne Smaadahl who are on the LTAC committee and ISO TC 37 are on CC. 

Thanks and regards
