Test suite

<fsasaki> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt-tests/2012Nov/0071.html

fsasaki: What is the nature of the second milestone?
... can you summarize?

<fsasaki> see milestones also at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgIk0-aoSKOadG5HQmJDT2EybWVvVC1VbnF5alN2S3c#gid=0

DomJones1: M2 is less formal
... M3 and on are stronger, more formal

Yves_: nothing to add to Dom's summary

philr: I would have approached it in a meaningfully different way
... does everybody need to implement all the categories?

fsasaki: the minimum is 2 implementations that produce the test suite output
... as discussed, it is for demonstrating interoperability
... we need the extra effort of interop testing to show that the implementations do the same across scenarios

<fsasaki> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgIk0-aoSKOadG5HQmJDT2EybWVvVC1VbnF5alN2S3c#gid=0

fsasaki: the recorded commitments are for the test suite

<DomJones1> ack

philr: are there strong rulings re parsing methods?

fsasaki: there are no such rules, just input and output files, no questions for your methodology in between

<omstefanov> will there be any independent running of these tests?

<chriLi> +queue

leroy: people asked if they can modify test suite files
... can correct obvious errors, but discuss anything other before changing

chriLi: more general question, any decision for using test case, mandate for use cases?

<omstefanov> +omstefanov

<fsasaki> http://www.w3.org/2012/09/mlw-lt-charter.html

<omstefanov> +queue

fsasaki: test suite is w3c requirement
... CR phase should start in March
... test suite is critical for proving interoperability during CR
... any other questions?

Des: question on timing..
... I could not do it within the publicly given time frame

fsasaki: are you referring to your implementation effort?

Des: yes

fsasaki: Do not worry, with exception of LQ Precis, all categories are covered by other commitments
... continue contributing tests

<DomJones1> Wanted to ask / minute that if any implementors have any issues with keeping to test-suite dates could they please let Dominic know as soon as possible. This way we can work with you to match resources and the time frame.

<scribe> ACTION: Felix to nudge data category owners asking for test suite contributions by the end of the year [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/11/26-mlw-lt-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-319 - Nudge data category owners asking for test suite contributions by the end of the year [on Felix Sasaki - due 2012-12-03].

Drop localization quality precis

<fsasaki> http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#lqprecis

checking of global rules did not progress

<fsasaki> "100 (inclusive) with higher values indicating a better score"

<fsasaki> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgIk0-aoSKOadG5HQmJDT2EybWVvVC1VbnF5alN2S3c#gid=0

fsasaki: It is hard to read, contains nested rules, not enough work here, not enough test suite commitments
... only Vistatec and UL committing to test this, this is thin
... looking for a champion, no need to actually edit the spec, but needs work on exact specification text

philr: I feel it has a role to play
... there was a vision for far reaching mechanism, eventually non-normative..
... I am not up to speed with tool ref, which might be the issue
... I will try my best to move this by the end of this week
... I agree it must be dropped if little progress this week

fsasaki: E.g. readiness was dropped due to lack of consensus
... this might mean tabling till the 2.1

<fsasaki> ACTION: phil to work on lq precis to see if we can keep it in the spec [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/11/26-mlw-lt-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-320 - Work on lq precis to see if we can keep it in the spec [on Phil Ritchie - due 2012-12-03].

Arle: offering help to philr to work on the category by the end of this week

philr: accepting help offer..

<Jirka> yep

fsasaki: creating action 320

Jirka: Should I add it to the schema?

fsasaki: This cannot wait for the next week because Jirla is working on the normative schema
... we would need hard commitment or drop it
... results by tomorrow, or so.., would that work if you get results be wednesday, Jirka?

philr: wed lunch time?

<Jirka> yep, wed is ok

Arle and philr agreeing working time Wed morning, forming LQP task force

Closing ISSUE-42 tools information

fsasaki: last mail from Yves

Yves_: we need to have this attribute specified for some categories
... like mtConfidence
... thing getting hairy on the global side, becuase it can have different inheritance behavior to the category
... it might be OK on local level only, but you could not address attributes
... we might rule out a bunch of formats.. we seem to be running in circles

fsasaki: another proposal by Dave

daveL: scared by global rules here, i.e. agreement with Yves basically
... argument, you need it cases where schema cannot be changed, might not need it anyway

<chriLi> What's the reference to Yves' mail?

daveL: local expression of tool ref might inherit to attributes, unclear if we say so.

fsasaki: Can we close the issue as is

Yves_: the caveat is that in mtConfdence you would need both global and local

fsasaki: It would be soved with a note? we even do not need a note..

Yves_: agreed

<fsasaki> close issues-42

<fsasaki> close issue-42

<trackbot> ISSUE-42 Tool and confidence related information is similar for mtConfidence, textAnalysisAnnotation, quality closed

<fsasaki> https://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/issues/open

felix: open topics are editorial isssues, and xliff mapping, so nothing that would prevent us from moving to last calls

fsasaki: I formally invite people to express any issues with normative parts of the spec for LC

Actions needed for the LC draft

<fsasaki> action-286?

<trackbot> ACTION-286 -- Shaun McCance to put data category table into non-normative appendix in the spec -- due 2012-11-19 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/actions/286

<fsasaki> ACTION: felix to take over shauns action itemt on data category table [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/11/26-mlw-lt-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-321 - Take over shauns action itemt on data category table [on Felix Sasaki - due 2012-12-03].

fsasaki: taking over Shaun's action item to create data category table. Next action-297 Address Query Language related Ed notes in draft.

<Jirka> done

fsasaki: question about normativeness of schema
... RelaxNG is the normative
... XML schema will be mostly automatically generated, informative

<fsasaki> action-314?

<trackbot> ACTION-314 -- Yves Savourel to check global rules for provenance -- due 2012-11-27 -- CLOSED

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/actions/314

<fsasaki> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Nov/0186.html

fsasaki: Yves did that. Is there a need to chenge anything in the spec?

Yves_: Looking at the examples.

issues with mapping to XLIFF

toolref and pointers cannot be mapped onto XLIFF

<fsasaki> scribe: fsasaki

davidF: if I map MT confidence to XLIFF
... and I don't know who produdced that
... I lost all information

yves: not saying you cannot put the information
... but you cannot do that with a pointer

dave: Yves is reffering to toolsRef
... have to think about that

<dF> DaveL: the issue os with toolref in Provenace not the Tool Reference element

dave: will look at it tonight, we can discuss at the call tomorrow

<scribe> scribe: dF

UNKNOWN_SPEAKER: you are right that this might be the only major point for ponters, it might be otherwise good to get rid of pointers
... this will be adressed in the editting call totmorrow

<fsasaki> ACTION: felix to make sure next call we discuss poiner issues for proveancne and toolsRef [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/11/26-mlw-lt-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-322 - Make sure next call we discuss poiner issues for proveancne and toolsRef [on Felix Sasaki - due 2012-12-03].

fsasaki: This is to make sure that the group has follow up to the editting call
... harmonization of interval 0-1 iclusive, mial posted by df

<fsasaki> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Nov/0202.html

fsasaki: report on number of small changes to the spec
... is there someone on the call who was through them, or volunteers to go through them

<fsasaki> ACTION: daveL to check edits at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Nov/0202.html [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/11/26-mlw-lt-minutes.html#action06]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-323 - Check edits at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Nov/0202.html [on David Lewis - due 2012-12-03].

Yves_: Id id not see anything controversial, covered everything but did not go into detail in all

Editing calls Tue - Wed

taking roll call for the partcipation in edittting call Tue and Wed

<fsasaki> felix

<Yves_> yves

<Arle> Arle: Tuesday and Wednesday

<kfritsche> kfritsche

<fsasaki> dave

<pnietoca> pnietoca

<Jirka> jirka - probably tue, wed and thu

<fsasaki> david: I can do the 1st hour tomorrow

<fsasaki> .. and wednesday the call

dF: I can make Wed

fsasaki, start meeting with splitting up and fork parallel editting

scribe: meeting agian in an hour or so.., depend on how many have editting set up

daveL: might have issues with too many instances of goto, but might do also skype

<chriLi> +queue

fsasaki: editting can be done fully offline, the others can make a coffee break

omstafanov: what about independent testing?

fsasaki: what do you mean by independent?

omstefanov: the tests are designed by implmeneters, does any one verify if ENLASO indeed conforms?

fsasaki: the idea is that the tests and results are public
... it is OK to base test results on the same library across implementations, but this all will be reviewed by w3c mgmt

omstefanov: thanks, this is answered..

DomJones1: We hope that the transparent test suite will attract independent implementers (not now in the group)

chriLi: ... I started going through the spec, normative and non-normative.. Is it a good time to post my commments on the non-normative part of the spec now?

fsasaki: Christian is going through explanatory sections, but we only need to stabilize the normative parts now..
... about "what is the time for feedback on non-normative" parts: I would say as soon as possible, but it might just take after the last call draft publication before we come back to comments

Stability of quality issue types

<fsasaki> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Nov/0208.html

fsasaki: Danile is impmenting this
... Arle, does this discussion reveal any changes?

Arle: It does not require normative changes
... just explanatory

fsasaki: discussion to continue on the list

AOB

fsasaki: AOB? Nothing

EU PROJECT SPECIFIC

<Pedro> Felix, can you on the micro

<fsasaki> yes, chriLi, above presentation counts too.

fsasaki: It is good to include stuff by not funded parties

fsasaki: Arle is going to preopare an HTML webpage for the report.

Pedro: we need more homogeneity in the report
... we should get a template, so that the content is easily parsed

<fsasaki> ACTION: arle to create template for report [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/11/26-mlw-lt-minutes.html#action07]
