Werner: should we include the DFXP mappings, we have the information?

OK, Werner will provide the mapping table, and Thierry will include it

Thierry: Once we have the edits,shall we push the ont doc to LC?
... suggest to give extra 24h hours for people who did not join the group to vote for publication

PA: how about the discussion on definiton of compression/format attributes

<pchampin> joakim: I'm not an expert regarding format/compression

<pchampin> ... first part of the track was about the possible merging of format and compression.

<pchampin> ... As we voted previously on having both, we keep them.

<pchampin> ... The second part is about allowing strings as values or enforce URIs.

<pchampin> werner: enforcing URIs has the advantage of being more precise,

<pchampin> ... but practically, this raises problems with underlying formats that don't provide a URI.

<pchampin> ... e.g. dublin-core

<pchampin> ... David agrees to that point for descriptive metadata,

<pchampin> ... but thinks we can be more stricy for technical metadata.

<pchampin> ... He is assuming that the API would access the actual media resource,

<pchampin> ... and could therefore extract the correct URI for compression.

<pchampin> ... But we have a use case where only an external source for metadata is available.

<pchampin> ... We could add in the spec that if the media resource is available, a URI must be returned.

PA: if we stick to URI, we must say which URI's to use

Werner: we could come up with schemes to use, but, there will be many

PA: we dont' want to commit to one particualr scheme. We should be flexible enough, to map any metadata

but, if that precies information exists, it should be returned

<tmichel> compression (attName="compression", attValue="URI" | "String")

(attName="compression", attValue="URI#Name")

<tmichel> The Dublin Core uses a String

PA: If we make URI mandatory, there will be some implementations that doesn't return anything

<pchampin> ... if they lack the information to make the URI

<pchampin> ... so enforcing URIs will only reduce the amount of info available.

<pchampin> ... We should rather *encourage* implementers to return a URI whenever they can

<pchampin> ... but *allow* them to return only a string.

<tmichel> The resolution is:

<tmichel> compression (attName="compression", attValue="URI" | "String")

Thierry: Do we agree to what is in the spec?

<tmichel> +1

<wbailer_> +1

<pchampin> ... anyway, users wanting precise information will ignore strings and consider only URIs

+1

<wonsuk> +1

<tmichel> Resolution is to leave the spec as is with:

<tmichel> compression (attName="compression", attValue="URI" | "String")

<pchampin> RESOLUTION: keep the spec as it is, regarding compression: implenters can return either URI or String

<tmichel> Thierry to send email to the Group if people want to object before tomorrow before moving to 2nd LC

<pchampin> multiple values are still possible, and implementers are *encouraged* to return a URI whenever they can.

Thierry: add a note to implementers in the API spec ?

Werner: It's an API issue, it knows if it can retrieve the information

<pchampin> +1

Thierry: We will have something in the API spec to encourage implementers to return a URI

Wonsuk!

<scribe> ACTION: wonsuk for compression, implementers are encouraged to return a URI [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/02/08-mediaann-minutes.html#action01]
