ITS rules and readiness extension to OASIS CMIS

Dominic and Dave presenting

daveL: CMS Interoperability

Thousands of API's

CMIS standardized API

Standard published in 2010. Members inc. Adobe

Many implementors

Models repository as document, folder and relationship objects

2 Requirements for l10n: (a) ITS rules; (b) Readiness

Can apply same rule(s) to several documents?

Implemented data model in draft

Polling scheme to define readiness updates and notifications

Plans: extend ITS Rule types, integrate xliff, discuss extensions with CMIS-compliant vendors

Readiness essential to implementation

fsasaki: ITS Readiness and CMIS and objectives of Pedro and mhellwig coming together with common needs

<fsasaki> fsasaki: no need to have these now in the ITS 2.0 standard, but please move this forward as a joint effort and we can advertise the outcome of this also outside of ITS 2.0

Opportunity for Pedro/Cocomore/TCD to work together

Video link of CMS Lion in the Use Case section of draft

Dave's presentation finished

Presentation by tadej

Enrycher demo

tadej: What elements of a docuent should be treated specially
... focus mainly on html
... TA Annotation maybe superceded by tool info
... html->object model->analysis->add annotations->html

<fsasaki> demo is here http://aidemo.ijs.si/mlw/

tadej: two markups. First very verbose, second uses single agent-ref div
... can agent-ref be combined with 'tool info'?

aidemo has rdfa output option

fsasaki: can people take advantage of tadej's process?

tadej finished

philr: can enterprise specific domain models be built?

tadej: yes, in principle
... not hard to construct multilingual databases

Part of terminology process

<fsasaki> discussion on how to integrate enrycher into tools, e.g. terminology systems, translation tools. Confidence of disambiguation annotation not related per se to term "yes" / "no"

Des: any other multilingual databases?

end of demos

fsasaki: Arle will send out the slides that he has compiled of the demos, all please review and comment

test suite

<fsasaki> scribe: fsasaki

dom: go through action points and issues related to test suite
... will go through matrix - currently has only Yves' name as implementor
... will go names to the categories, and will work with people who put the names

phil: question
... people who are using a data category
... do I have to produce tests for my tool?

dave: will explain that now

(presentation about test suite)

(related issues and ACTION: issue-33, action-139, action-145)

dave: goal of conformance testing is that it is transparent and reliable
... that is needed in the w3c process
... but it also helps that other implementors can come and check wether their implementation does the real thing
... that is the test suite in the w3c lingo
... we do that per feature and data category
... essentially what is test is the (ITS) parsers

phil: when I built a dom dynamically, I don't produce any output - what should I do?

dave: takes yves example - he has a model that splits the test output out
... there is also a representational aspect:
... even if there is one data category, but if there is one data category tested by many company, that gives an image of output

phil: what about generators and consumers?

dave: the conformance is really saying "I understand all the requirements" of ITS conformance

phil: so if we don't have two tests what will happen?

dom: come to that in a minute

dave: validation is also helpful, and use case demos
... these are two activities distinct to conformance testing
... e.g. a nice use case doesn't mean that you contributed to the conformance process

tadeJ: testing makes sure that everybody makes the data model right

dave: data categories are independent

http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#EX-idvalue-attribute-1

felix: example above shows what do to as an implementor for idValue: there is a MUST statement about xml:id, and the test checks that. so implementor need to decide: global and local, and then go into the data category (sub) section and check for the MUST statements, then implement the related tests

leroy explaining the test suite

leroy: output is a tab-delimited output, easier to compare than previous XML format

felix: test suite will also be helpful to explain ITS behaviour, e.g. with regards to inheritance

dom: we now need to get commitments of implementors
... who is interested to contribute to the test suite for

going through the test suite commitments

<Yves_> Scribe: Yves

New Implementation Proposals

<Yves_> First proposal : Logrus (Serge)

<Yves_> Serge: Idea is to be practical

<Yves_> .. we have many clients, different formats,

<Yves_> .. and have to deal with a zoo of tools

<Yves_> .. a lot of disconnect between tools

<Yves_> .. data is the key for those standards

<Yves_> .. we need to remember the human user is the key as well

<Yves_> .. tagged files are not WYSIWYG

<Yves_> .. users need context, and this issue is getting more and more important

<Yves_> .. fragmentation is leading to a need for more skilled users

<Yves_> .. HTML5 is a simple universal standard

<Yves_> .. idea is: Work In Context System (WICS)

<Yves_> .. human need context, and therefore need an help page, with text only

<Yves_> .. and without tags

<Yves_> .. can be prepared from the source (XML, XLIFF, etc.)

<Yves_> .. the output can be represented there

<Yves_> .. can also involve reference material, term base etc.

<omstefanov> What is speaker's name?

<Yves_> .. HTML5+ ITS + Javascript for human view

olaf, it is serge gladkoff

<Yves_> .. view can be viewed from any browser

<Yves_> .. 2 stage process: proprietary tagged file (with ITS), then HTML5 + ITS

<Yves_> .. helper page can be used at any time

<Yves_> .. for example: client reviewers

<Yves_> .. not being in context may cause issue for reviewers

<Yves_> .. helper page would be in a single format

<Yves_> .. this has several advantages like no WYSIWYG, more efficient, etc.

<Yves_> .. ITS data categories and that format: Terminology, Translate, Loc Note, Text Analysis, Disambiguation, External resource

<Yves_> serge then describes part of the roadmap details.

<Yves_> the result would be a working prototype of WICS generator

<Yves_> Tadej: so if I select a node i would get the annotation for that node?

<Yves_> Serge: that's the idea

<Yves_> .. the idea is tho improve productivity, so we show what helps the user to work fast

<Yves_> .. so the info needs to be determined, tailored

<Yves_> .. the important is to provide the info in visual form

<Yves_> Jan: stage1 seem to be where the issues would be

<Yves_> .. looks a lot like LocStudio a bit. Not easy to implement, but powerful

<Yves_> Serge: yes, that's what we split stage1 from stage2

<Yves_> Serge: this would be for a given client

<Yves_> Arle: what would be the output of stage1?

<Yves_> Serge: it would not be open source

<Yves_> .. output can be anything

<Yves_> Arle: XLIFF?

<Yves_> Serge: yes.. possibly

<Yves_> Felix: so you would go from XLIFF to HTML5, not trivial

<Yves_> Serge: not sure the middle would be XLIFF

<Yves_> dF: XLIFF would be good because there are already tools

<Yves_> Des: what about context? how do you get this? (style guide, etc.)

<Yves_> Serge: our understanding is that it can be set with ITS

<Yves_> Des: context is a big problem, so how it's propagated

<Yves_> .. if it's just text there is no context

<Yves_> Serge: not in this case, it's glossary, terms, etc.

<Yves_> dF: in XLIFF 2.0 there is a way to output HTML directly

<Yves_> .. providing full WYSIWYG is impossible, but basic stuff is.

<Yves_> .. so that preview feature in 2.0 is doing that.

<Yves_> Pedro: we tend to do automatic tasks.

<Yves_> .. human task is needed, but where and how

<Yves_> .. but not all metadata can be added automatically (e.g. loc note, etc.)

<Yves_> .. so intervention of the human is important to keep in mind

<Yves_> .. also translator are used to CAT tools

<Yves_> Dave: it's call a viewer, but can the user add things?

<Yves_> Serge: rules can be added to stage1

<Yves_> Dave: but then viewer is not doing this?

<Yves_> Serge: good question. But that's a too big of a scope it seems.

<Yves_> .. it's an HTML editor, and feedback loop is hard

<Yves_> Felix: would the tagged file +ITS would be valid ITS?

<Yves_> .. no I meant the final file HTML5.

<Yves_> Felix: stage1 is proprietary

<Yves_> .. any way to make it open-source?

<Yves_> Serge: part maybe, but not all

<Yves_> .. we'll pick specific client/format

<Yves_> .. the converter will do the conversion will be done by in-house tools, not linked to ITS/HTML5

<Yves_> .. if intermediate file is describe then it's ok, anyone can generate the same file and use the viewer

<Yves_> Felix: many are creating HTML5+ITS, can they use this viewer?

<Yves_> Serge: yes, they should

<Yves_> .. source can be HTML5

<Yves_> Pedro: thought stage1 is what we are doing

<Yves_> dF: important differences. here output is bilingual

<Yves_> Felix: here the output is very specific

<Yves_> des: here the HTML5 is not the original format

<Yves_> .. just a container

<Yves_> Pedro: the problem, is the middle file. we produce that

<Yves_> Serge: that's good then

<Yves_> Felix: the issue is people seems to do stage1 already

<Yves_> .. so we need only stage2

<Yves_> serge: the funded project is just stage2

<Yves_> felix: so cocomore, etc. would be input for the viewer

<Yves_> Serge: we would have to agree on the middle format

<Yves_> Pedro: if scope is stage2, if editing the ITS tags could be done it would be better.

<Yves_> dF: that would be a huge task: feeding back is difficult

<Yves_> serge: yes.

<Yves_> .. main goal is to show productivity gain through viewer

<Yves_> .. a big part is to see what is effective

<Yves_> Pedro: see this as very useful

<Yves_> .. users have to be trained

<Yves_> .. it take long to do this

<Yves_> Serge: helper page has many applications

<Yves_> .. we want a general example. not just a single case like Drupal.

<Yves_> dF: see the values through a condensed material

<Yves_> .. everybody is using the same references

<Yves_> Pedro: some data categories are editable is needed

<Yves_> Felix: those are two different use cases

<Yves_> .. stage2 built on top of what some of use do.

<Yves_> Serge: some client use only MT-based web site.

<Yves_> Felix: is stage2 valuable?

<Yves_> Jan: valuable for demonstration

<Yves_> .. not here today

<Yves_> Serge: if user can annotate, he may ament the glossary for example, and regenerate the helper page

I think Jan said: its valuable, as a helper page. The more enhanced usage (editing translations, making corrections etc.) is a different taks, more complex and not in stage 2

<Yves_> Serge: idea is to push ITS as possible

<Yves_> .. instead of using javascript

<Yves_> .. usability is important. e.g. no pop-ups

<Yves_> .. user needs context, color coding, no pop-up.

<Yves_> dF: pop-up cold be interactive

<Yves_> Tadej: using this one could see for example different meaning to do correction.

<Yves_> Felix: need to get a general opinion

<Yves_> .. anyone in favor or not.

<Yves_> Dave: strong feeling that seeing such HTML5 page would be useful

<Yves_> Jan: visualization of the ITS data.

<Yves_> .. it's useful

<Yves_> Arle: also an example of something tools can implement directly

<Yves_> Tatiana: like the idea.

<Yves_> .. context was one of the top requirement we saw in our reasearch

http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/wiki/PragueSep2012#26_Sept:_MLW-LT_WG_meeting_agenda

<Yves_> Felix: the tool information is important, we can talk about that.

<Yves_> Second Proposal: Init (Sebastian)

<Yves_> Sebastian: main focus of ]Init[ is government

<Yves_> .. many clients are multilingual (Europe languages)

<Yves_> .. we discovered ITS in May. it's a process.

<Yves_> .. our proposal is ITS in open/libre-office

<Yves_> .. we create documents in DE, then they are translated

<Yves_> .. but we have a break between the autor and the translator

<Yves_> .. data categories we'd like to use:

<Yves_> .. Translate

<Yves_> Locale Filter

<Yves_> .. Terminology (for candidate)

<Yves_> .. Localization Note

<Yves_> .. idea is to add button in O/L-Office

<Yves_> .. so ITS markup could be added in document

<Yves_> .. this would be a plugin, an extension of O/L-Office

<Yves_> .. author would add ITS tags in content

<Yves_> .. then we could save this into OD format.

<Yves_> .. we could also possibly extend Okpai to support ITS in ODF filter

<Yves_> .. for planning: development until Dec.

<Yves_> .. reporting experience after.

<Yves_> .. will need UI to do insertion of the ITS marker

<Yves_> .. save to XLIFF, and merge back

<Yves_> .. the UI would be in English (and German)

<Yves_> .. will not consider MT and Asian languages

<Yves_> .. it would be an open-source project

<Yves_> .. will do either open or Libre-office

<Yves_> .. possibly re-using okapi functionality

<Yves_> Jirka: so when I annotate file the data go outside.

<Yves_> .. seems that the project should be able to save the ITS data in the OD file

<Yves_> .. extensibility too

<Yves_> .. is available

<Yves_> Shawn: interested too. if tags would be in ODF then i can use it too.

<Yves_> Pedro: using two files would be difficult

<Yves_> .. agree that data should be in ODF

<Yves_> dF: yes, ITS markup would need to go in ODF

<Yves_> dF: don't see a reason to have extraction from O/L-Office

<Yves_> Sebastian: ok, I'm taking the feedback.

<Yves_> Jirka: you can use custom attribute in ODF with some restrictions

<Yves_> .. those may be lost if ODF application does not support those extension

<Yves_> Sebatian: you think extension mechanism will allow for this?

<Yves_> Jirka: I do not know.

<Yves_> Sebastian: need to know between Libre or Open Office

<Yves_> Shawn: LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice. Then OpenOffice becaome part of Apache Software

<Yves_> .. LibreOffice is an out-of-the-box application, OpenOffice now is a "platform" developers can add to.

<Yves_> dF: what is the overlap?

<Yves_> Shawn: it was a full fork, both sides continued to merge from each others

<Yves_> .. on occasion.

<Yves_> jan: what is the one you use

<Yves_> Sebastian: we are using openOffice 2.1

<Yves_> .. but use LibreOffice for other clients

<Yves_> Jan: seems LibreOffice would be the choice then.

<Yves_> .. other platform could be extended like this too. here the idea is to demostrate ITS usage.

<Yves_> Jirka: maybe the LibreOffice could save as OOXML

<Yves_> .. could speedup adoption

<Yves_> Sebastian: for XLIFF, 1.2 or 2.0?

<Yves_> Felix: if you relay on Okapi, then use what is there.

<Yves_> Third Presentation: Tilde (Tatiana)

<Yves_> Tatiana: main business LSP, terminology services, Lingual technologies, and open Linguistic Infrastructure (Tilde META-SHARE node, META-NORD)

<Yves_> .. refocusing as Terminology as a service (TaaS)

<Yves_> .. now developing web-based services, MT, indexing, annotation, etc.

<Yves_> .. our first proposal was very extensive

<Yves_> .. outr goal now is to filter and understand the requirement of the LT-Web project

<Yves_> .. see that LT-Web need to be validated

<Yves_> .. our idea is to help in usability, interoperability, productivity

<Yves_> .. several use cases:

<Yves_> First: Simple Terminology Annotation

<Yves_> Data categories: Language Information, Locale Filter, Terminology

<Yves_> .. possibly a confidence attribute

<Yves_> .. unsupervised identification of term candidates

<Yves_> .. in HTML5, then presented to users 9highlighted)

<Yves_> .. third aspect is a web service with a web application

<Pedro> scribe: Pedro

Proposal 2: Enhanced terminology annotation and simple machine translation

Includes: term recognition, and existing terminology resources.
... annotate terminology and interactive interface
... support consumption by machine translation
... for existing language resources there is a problem to find the way to reuse and share them
... ITS DC Considered: Language information, locale filter, termionology and translate
... benefits: production and consumption of ITS
... one of the existing resource can be used in the 2nd proposal is eurotermbank
... largest terminology bank in Europe
... more benefits: reusing existing resources like this bank

,. Proposal 3: Enhanced Termonology Annotation and Enhaced MAchine TRanslation

scribe: Includes the two previous proposals, extend the MT enhancement
... .. ITS DC added Element whithin Text
... Additional benefits: enhance translation quality

Des: existing termionlogical resources are used for disambiguation tasks?

Tatiana: yes, it is one of the purposes

Tadej: it also to apply to terms?

Tatiana: yes, we use terminololgy datacategory and we explore disambiguation and some other

Tadej: terminology datacategory is not modelled for candidates, we should revise.

Des: candidate can be domain specific.

Tadej: to use confidence for this is interpretation.

Felix: this is about term annotation and not entity annotation, and there is some overlap
... but there is a diiference annotation workflow

Tadej: yes

Segey: There is any kind of API to access existing resources?
... In the case os EU bank?

<Arle> scribe: Pedro

Tatiana: yes, it is a resource senstive scenario, does not take any glossary.

Sergey: why? there are many other valid glossaries.

Tatiana: maybe with teh same architecture we can in short time allow to compile other new resources

FElix: in Enrycher tadej has this approach.

Tadej: yes

Sergey: It is an open source application?

Tatiana: now it is under discusion, but it will be a service.

Felix: independently is open source it can be a service, like Drupal does

Tatiana: in the busienss model it iwll be a service level in the future, of course

Felix: Perhaps the best user strategy can be discussed.

Tatiana: shchedule Proposal 1: 6 months, Proposal 2 and 3: to be done in 1 year

Sergey: which languages?

Tatiana: English as the source language.
... with rich morphology for inflection, etc.
... and other 2 languages with all the morphology. In the future it will be able to add other languages.

Felix: additional confidence attributes were discussed, and need to be stable
... for this prototyping this will help.
... but do you plan so be able to see before 6 months?

Tatiana: we have to see, but yes.

Felix: opinions about these three proposals?

<fsasaki> scribe: fsasaki

pedro: three different proposals (Logrus, ]init[, Tilde)
... all final users implied
... this takes care about the "human side" of the usage of the metadata
... so the Tilde scenario will help users to annotate metadata in the content

declan: also for MT it might be useful - monolingual or multilingual terminology information

pedro: if we have time, the groups that we are talking to (translators, terminologists, testing)

tatiana: we can also leverage our localization and terminology partners

<Pedro> Pedro scribe/

<scribe> scribe: pedro

Tatiana: we will not perform all the 3 proposal, but to get your vision

,, and to select the one applies better

Felix: Does it is possible to modify Proposal 1

Sergey: do not understimate Proposal 1

dF: it is different in the different languages

Tataina: maybe the terminology use case will be richer if we combine part of proposal
... but we do not want only to produce metadata but to consume it
... terminology per se is not enough

Felix (coordinator): Maybe to collaborate with other exinting partners

scribe: we have to see if it is Matrix or Lucy, or another one.
... we have to think about it.
... they can make experiences
... We need to have the feeling if it is better proposal 1, 2 or 3

Tatiana: we have to decide and going back to you

Jim: In terms of preferences I will stack in this orden: 1, 2,3

Sorry, wasnt Jim, but Jan

Declan: in proposal 3 you cover more

Felix: Of course, but the budget

<fsasaki> scribe: pedro

<fsasaki> scribe: felix

<fsasaki> pedro: we plan to finish most of the stuff middle next year

<fsasaki> .. so that we have time for showbusiness

<fsasaki> tatiana: the 3rd one would be one year, the others shorter

<scribe> scribe: felix

<scribe> scribe: pedro

Tatiana: a possibility is a mixture

FElix: we can discuss later.
... there are now two other things before Coffee breack
... the current proposals are on the table and no time for looking other
... decissions will be there in a short time:around 2 weeks

dF: we need the economical proposal details

Felix; yes, from Init we have, but we must have also a budget breakdown from Logrus and Tilde

scribe: Having it by next Monday is fine

Coffe break

<fsasaki> scribe: daveL

tool reference issue

yves: for many data categories, know the tool is useful and for some it is really importnat
... but the problem is some data cats operate best at a local level, where the tool ref is a big overhead
... felix proposed a standoff format detailing the tool
... but this made it difficult to reference the tool.
... another approach is using xml:id, but this could clash with the many other usages of xml:id.

Yves so an alternative proposal is a tool reference that bind the data category id

scribe: that could be used to overrid the tool binding, but not the referneced data category at a local level
... but this still needs to point to the standoff tool specification file

<fsasaki> external tool information is here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Sep/att-0189/tool-its-info-example.xml

scribe: but this could be done by replacing the textual tool ID bound to the data category to tool with a URI

df what if you have two MT in the document

yves, you just define that locally to differentiate

shaun - could we allow tool refs for data categories outside of the ITS one

yves - yes , perhaps with a name space like prefix to data category extension

David and Tadej indicate this addresses thier tool identfication needs

pedro: asks whether this can help with evaluation of MT output

declan: those aren't confidence scores

Des; asks about updating the tool id

felix: asks also how to do this in HTML5
... possibly using a similar mechanism to quality issue using its:span

jirka: could also put it in a script element

<fsasaki> ACTION: shaun to create a list of canonical data category names [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/09/26-mlw-lt-minutes.html#action06]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-232 - Create a list of canonical data category names [on Shaun McCance - due 2012-10-03].

shaun: this could be a RDF link, but this requires an RDF tool chain rather than an XML one

jirka: says that using script is the only way currently of including XML in HTML

felix: shows how to do equivalent in the quality issue example

yves: seems like a hack

jirka: possible, but it whats possible in html currently.

<Jirka> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/DOMParser

felix: current recommendation is to put the tool info xml into script in html

<Yves_> var doc = parser.parseFromString(stringContainingXMLSource, "application/xml");

<Jirka> var parser = new DOMParser();

<Jirka> var doc = parser.parseFromString(stringContainingXMLSource, "application/xml");

<Jirka> // returns a Document, but not a SVGDocument nor a HTMLDocument

felix: should we do the same in quality issue example

yves: agrees

<scribe> ACTION: felix to update quality issue to use the same solution [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/09/26-mlw-lt-minutes.html#action07]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-233 - Update quality issue to use the same solution [on Felix Sasaki - due 2012-10-03].

felix: so how do we manage conformance?

yves: would need to specific for appropriate data category that they MUST support tool info

<fsasaki> http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#conformance-product-processing-expectations

dF: agrees its a MUST for MTconfidence, but that does need to be universal?

felix: explains the current conformance rules and suggest that is an application supports mt confidence MUST support tool info and other MAY support it
... this doesn't need a conformance test, but we should do this to ensure ease of conformance for this option

df: but is it is optional, then it wont get implemented

tadej: its option for disambiguation, since this could be manually generated, so tool is not necessarily importNT HERE

dave: also an option for for proveance agent data categories

df: so should it be left option or made specific to mt confidence score

felix: but its still useful for other, just not mandatory, but would loose that if it was specific to mtconfidence score

tadej: the tool info is important for text analytics
... so you can give the tool info even without the confidence scoe

jan: asks how confident gorup is with confidence score being only valid inter-segment per engine rather than between engines

declan: had been discussed but that is currently what we can to and we wanted to keep it simple

<Jirka> if <script> is too much for us, we can also introduce new element like its-tool-info and define it in an applicable specification. As long as element will not have any text content it will not create any rendering and processing problems to browsers.

shaun: but could we just make the confidence a tuple of mt identifier concatenated with confeince scoe

yves: but this will still be long, so we loose a node by don't save characters, engine ids will still be verbose

dave: could be used for specifying person repsonsbile for generating data category also
