Naming convention and test suite ID in metadata

cs: We didn't finish discussion of naming convention; no further discussion online

mc: taking a lot of time to discuss, will take more to implement, let's just move forward

cv: worried some test cases will end up in wrong SC

mc: trust in metadata
... if that's wrong, then we need to make change
... has been months of discussion though

saz: ask for summary of issue

cs: Bentoweb planned to have test suites for different technologies
... needed way to distinguish test suites in ids
... at moment we only have one so it's not really relevant
... but there's nothing scripts can act on

<shadi> http://www.w3.org/2008/04/08-tsdtf-minutes.html#item02

saz: reviewing previous discussion (above link)

<shadi> xhtml1_text-equiv-all_002

<shadi> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wai-ert-tsdtf/2008Apr/0002.html

saz: ID like above sample was proposal
... we agreed it was beneficial, but didn't close on how much work it would be to migrate

cs: bulk of work is moving from numbers to ids

mc: is it the task of making the change, or making the mapping from number to id mapping?

cs: it's the renaming of files

cv: not sure about resources for making change

saz: cs and cv should work out whether we have resources to make change and make it, or decide we can live with it

<scribe> ACTION: cs and cv to work out whether we have resources to make change and make it, or decide we can live with it [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/04/29-tsdtf-minutes.html#action01]

Review of test samples

cs: tb has finished review
... status for ci?

ci: were responses to Tim's comments

cs: will summarize changes made and send to list

saz: issue with test samples that have video or audio format

<Christophe> Resolution from 8 april was to ignore the files that have been uploaded in the wrong directory and follow the process for future uploads

saz: should migrate from focus on what files in CVS, to using an interface that doesn't worry about structure underneath

cv: there are other W3C test suites that are purely CVS based

saz: W3C persistency policy is about any Web resource, not just HTML
... CVS Web front end is not recommended, is resource intensive
... suggest we focus on HTML view of test suite
... don't think we can break persistency policy and remove just because it ended up somewhere wrong
... if we rename test samples, we will have a whole slew of tests that are obsolete

mc: can set up redirects, but that might not be the easiest path

tb: how determine how a test is obsolete?

saz: mostly the renaming

cs: test samples for audio and video don't list all the technologies used in the metadata
... need volunteers to scrub

mc: can help in a week or two

cs: will send instructions to list
... we have one that uses wmv
... there are 3 ways of identifying; should make them more consistent

mc: not just using MIME type?

cs: metadata uses more than MIME
... recommendations?

mc: people should get to it when they get to it on a scrubbing pass

tb: are there standardized identification mechanisms for media we're using?

cs: W3C formats have stable mechanisms, but not sure for external formats
... Wikipedia entry perhaps our best bet

cv: suggest supplement with MIME type in case URL of recommendation disappears

cs: where should it go?

cv: new attribute

<shadi> http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/usingTCDL

<Christophe> MIME Media Types: http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/

<scribe> ACTION: Christophe to add MIME type to TCDL schema [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/04/29-tsdtf-minutes.html#action02]

Next steps for current repository content

cs: question whether to update test samples to new draft
... wanted to identify which SC are stable

saz: should focus on doing a diff

mc: when CR comes out, anything not listed as "at risk" is stable because can't change without bouncing back to WD

saz: reviewing action, CV was to look at diffs

cv: pending, have documents, need to do comparison

Review of action items

cs: reviews probably have to wait until migrate to new draft

saz: and new naming convention

NEXT MEETING: 13 May 2008
