dave: Open Data Management for Public Automated Translation Services
12:06:27 [fsasaki]
dave: felix, I and others were at the LREC conference two weeks ago
12:06:38 [fsasaki]
.. there was a workshop about infrastructure in language technology
12:06:48 [fsasaki]
.. some things were academic, but otheres more practical
12:07:27 [fsasaki]
.. andrjes Vasilijevs and Hans Uszkoreit talked about what the EU is planning to do in terms of concrete services
12:07:35 [fsasaki]
.. one service will be automated machine translation
12:07:58 [fsasaki]
.. the MLI project is gathering technical requirements for machine translation services
12:08:38 [fsasaki]
dave: I, felix and asun gomez perez talked to these guys after the workshop
12:08:54 [fsasaki]
.. it seems that so far people have not looked at the data management side of things
12:09:00 [fsasaki]
.. e.g. how to use open lexical resources
12:09:04 [fsasaki]
.. and other items
12:09:11 [fsasaki]
.. ITS does not have all solutions for this
12:09:25 [fsasaki]
.. but some data categories can help, e.g. Terminology, Provenance, maybe even LQI
12:09:43 [fsasaki]
.. I, Asun and Felix wrote a document
12:09:44 [fsasaki]
.. https://www.w3.org/International/its/wiki/Open_Data_Management_for_Public_Automated_Translation_Services
12:09:52 [fsasaki]
.. with high level requirements
12:10:10 [fsasaki]
.. e.g. how to collect parallel texts, how to determin if the content has been created by MT etc.
12:10:23 [fsasaki]
.. e.g. one use case being annotation of parallel text with ITS metaata
12:10:29 [fsasaki]
s/aata/data/
12:10:41 [fsasaki]
.. we put this up on the ITS IG wiki to see if people have feedback
12:11:05 [fsasaki]
... and flesh out technical requirements, but also look into other groups like LD4LT and the LIDER project
12:11:19 [fsasaki]
.. and then give that feedback to the MLI project
12:11:26 [fsasaki]
.. any feedback so far?
12:11:36 [fsasaki]
present+ serge
12:11:50 [fsasaki]
serge: who is the driver of the MLI project?

12:13:19 [Serge]
Serge has joined #i18nits
12:14:05 [fsasaki]
dave: DCU is involved, coordinated by INMARK (based in SPAIN), various other companies and ELDA
12:14:31 [fsasaki]
dave: they started just to get going, since the EU had not yet announced CEF broadly
12:14:46 [daveL]
https://www.w3.org/International/its/wiki/Open_Data_Management_for_Public_Automated_Translation_Services
12:14:54 [fsasaki]
[see partners list at http://mli-project.eu/?page_id=14 ]
12:15:18 [fsasaki]
dave: there is a lot of expertise on the language technology side of things and how to run e.g. cloud services
12:15:28 [fsasaki]
.. there is also a call out to look into interop and standards
12:15:42 [fsasaki]
.. it seems to assume that the services will be provided by the EU MT service
12:16:08 [fsasaki]
.. from an interop point of view it sounds like it may be operated by the MT@EU project
12:16:40 [fsasaki]
.. from an interop point of view it sounds like a good opportunity to promote ITS, linked data things, TBX / TMX as well
12:16:42 [Tatiana]
Sorry, was away from keyboard for a few minutes: about MLi
12:17:01 [Tatiana]
At the end of June there is a deliverable to be submitted by MLi
12:17:47 [fsasaki]
dave: andrejs Vasilijevs and Hans Uszkoreit said that the project is looking currently for input
12:18:13 [fsasaki]
serge: it is critical to include the data component in this
12:18:43 [Tatiana]
MLi deliverable in June will recommend on the pilot services
12:18:55 [fsasaki]
serge: if the data component has been negleted we need to step in, make contributions
12:19:23 [Tatiana]
I believe, there should be a tight collaboration between LIDER, MLi, and relevant initiatives within W3C
12:19:44 [daveL]
+1
12:19:47 [fsasaki]
+1
12:19:49 [Tatiana]
Dave, yes, MLi now is gathering input from users
12:20:05 [RRSAgent]
I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2014/06/11-i18nits-minutes.html fsasaki
12:21:07 [daveL]
https://www.w3.org/International/its/wiki/Open_Data_Management_for_Public_Automated_Translation_Services
12:21:44 [fsasaki]
felix: we are making the dicussion here in public also to get broad input from people not directly involved in MLi
12:22:01 [Tatiana]
Thank you for this link, I will forward it to my colleague who is directly involved in the MLi work
12:22:20 [Tatiana]
His task is to collect user requirements
12:22:39 [daveL]
tatiana, what date would be good to aim for to submit this as a contribution to MLi after gathering further input, e.g. from GALA
12:22:55 [fsasaki]
serge: clear, we will contribute, and everybody should, see if things are missing etc.
12:24:54 [Tatiana]
If it is OK with the ITS community, this doc might be shared with MLi (at Tilde, at least) and kept updating
12:25:17 [Tatiana]
as soos as there is input from the ITS community
12:25:30 [fsasaki]
tatiana, sure, that is also why we do this in public - also, see dave's question on the timeline for feedback
12:25:36 [fsasaki]
christian: about the document you drafted
12:25:48 [Tatiana]
In this way, both parties will be updated
12:25:54 [fsasaki]
.. do you want to give that as a position statement of the ITS IG, or of the editors?
12:26:08 [fsasaki]
.. that's a different aspect
12:26:17 [fsasaki]
serge: good point - should be an ITS IG position
12:26:37 [fsasaki]
christian: not necessarly - we need clarity - an IG position or compiled by members of the IG
12:26:51 [fsasaki]
serge: there is a lot of discussion now about European language cloud
12:27:02 [fsasaki]
.. if we imagine in the future the European language cloud
12:27:12 [fsasaki]
.. that should be the data model for ITS, MQM, industrial implementations
12:27:20 [fsasaki]
.. that should be coordinated
12:27:44 [fsasaki]
.. otherwise we will get a zoo of tools and mess with the data
12:27:56 [fsasaki]
dave: to answer christian:
12:28:10 [fsasaki]
.. we put this up on the wiki, not proposing that this should be an ITS IG position statement
12:28:23 [fsasaki]
.. happy to move that elsewhere if that is a conflict or out of scope
12:28:47 [fsasaki]
.. the scope is broader than ITS, but I thought the ITS group is a good place to put it
12:28:59 [fsasaki]
.. there is a lot of other people interested in this, also outside the ITS IG
12:29:17 [fsasaki]
.. so if people want to contribute we can do that and e.g. add names of editors
12:29:27 [fsasaki]
.. so would you feel happy to host the discussion here
12:29:58 [fsasaki]
christian: for me this is the ITS IG
12:30:09 [fsasaki]
.. ITS1.0 and 2.0 fit well with automated translation services
12:30:24 [fsasaki]
.. so discussions related to automated translation services should be mentioned here as well
12:30:34 [fsasaki]
.. so bringing this into the group and discussing it here is great
12:32:41 [fsasaki]
discussion on where this should be discussed - ITS IG seems to be a good open forum for this
12:34:06 [fsasaki]
christian: if we want to have an official ITS IG statement - what would be the procedure ?
12:34:35 [fsasaki]
felix: for interest groups there are no formal voting procedures
12:34:58 [fsasaki]
david: if the IG wants to make collective statements the note has to go through the process
12:36:25 [fsasaki]

12:38:15 [fsasaki]
felix explaining the concept of a W3C note
12:38:18 [fsasaki]
serge: this group is very active and elaborate, working on ITS etc.
12:38:39 [fsasaki]
.. if we formulate general terms - how do we see as a group the proper implementation of a language cloud, and publish this as a note
12:39:44 [fsasaki]
felix: a bit afraid that the time is not sufficient to discuss and publish a note
12:40:22 [fsasaki]
christian: would be helpful to have a more focused link
12:40:36 [fsasaki]
.. I see link to MLi project page - but where to find background info that is in the doc
12:41:00 [fsasaki]
.. is there such a targeted link, or are there workshop notes?
12:41:16 [fsasaki]
dave: we can get Andrjes MLi notes, which were fairly general
12:41:35 [fsasaki]
.. there is EU information - I can dig out a link about the current call from the EU for feedback
12:43:08 [fsasaki]
action: daveL to find out what the timeline is for giving feedback (and felix too) to check if ITS IG would have time to produce an official W3C note
12:43:08 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-47 - Find out what the timeline is for giving feedback (and felix too) to check if its ig would have time to produce an official w3c note [on David Lewis - due 2014-06-18].
12:43:23 [fsasaki]
christian: CEF is a funding scheme from the EU
12:43:47 [fsasaki]
.. they will ask to create several infrastructues, one is related to public automated translation services
12:44:02 [fsasaki]
.. so you suggest to give some input of baseline requirements
12:44:18 [fsasaki]
dave: broadly, though I am not sure it will be a public procurement process
12:44:41 [fsasaki]
.. the preparatory call says: the expection says that the MT@EU will be the basis
12:44:55 [fsasaki]
.. it won't necessarily a fully public tender
12:44:59 [RRSAgent]
I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2014/06/11-i18nits-minutes.html fsasaki
12:48:32 [fsasaki]
felix: will schedule another call next week so that we can continue this and other topics
12:48:42 [fsasaki]
topic: CSS attribute selectors
12:48:49 [fsasaki]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its-ig/2014Jun/0001.html
12:48:58 [fsasaki]
http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-nonelement-1/
12:50:49 [fsasaki]
jirka: is there an implementation already using CSS selectors?
12:51:35 [fsasaki]
felix: I am aware of bluegriffon IIRC, but that development is not moving forward it seems
12:51:46 [fsasaki]
jirka: the motivation of the draft is to use CSS selectors with ITS
12:51:52 [fsasaki]
.. so it needs some implementations
12:52:10 [fsasaki]
.. don't remember who originally proposed this, e.g. some implementation or a general comment
12:53:01 [fsasaki]
action: felix to check with Cocomore if they would be interested in implementing the CSS attribute selector
12:53:02 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-48 - Check with cocomore if they would be interested in implementing the css attribute selector [on Felix Sasaki - due 2014-06-18].
12:53:22 [Arle]
Sorry, I need to go. Speak to you all later.
12:53:43 [fsasaki]
felix: may also be interesting for Logrus
12:54:35 [fsasaki]
felix: no timeline for the draft - without implementations it just will not move forward?
12:54:37 [fsasaki]
jirka: right
12:54:51 [fsasaki]
.. they won't stop us from working on this due to some deadlines
12:55:06 [daveL]
daveL has joined #i18nits
12:55:19 [fsasaki]
topic: Review of FEISGILTT outcomes
12:55:33 [fsasaki]
http://www.localizationworld.com/lwdub2014/feisgiltt/Program.pdf
12:55:40 [fsasaki]
david: we had a good working event
12:55:49 [fsasaki]
.. there will be proceedings published via localization focus issue
12:55:57 [fsasaki]
.. deadline is end of July for camera ready papers
12:56:05 [fsasaki]
.. there was interesting discussions
12:56:19 [fsasaki]
.. there was XLIFF symposium and linked data track
12:56:31 [fsasaki]
.. most interesting thing was requirement gathering
12:56:42 [fsasaki]
.. e.g. doing object model + json serialization for XLIFF
12:57:10 [fsasaki]
.. that was nicely aligned with requirements on future of ITS that was discussed in Marid, MLW WS
12:57:24 [fsasaki]
.. we also discussed ITS mapping into XLIFF
12:57:40 [fsasaki]
.. there was some discussion of XLIFF module dependencies
12:57:57 [fsasaki]
.. ITS support can be in several modules, since the support will be in several categories
12:57:59 [Tatiana]
Have to leave already, sorry! Talk to you later and looking forward to reading the minutes. Bye! :)
12:59:00 [fsasaki]
.. once the have ITS on the XLIFF TC agenda we can discuss details
12:59:24 [fsasaki]
felix: we can discuss this next week again if that makes sense
13:00:09 [fsasaki]
david: about the linked data topic:
13:00:26 [fsasaki]
.. several people said that licensing of linked data is an important topic is important
13:00:44 [fsasaki]
dave: also, several people said not so much publishing of linked data but modeling with linked data is important
13:00:55 [fsasaki]
.. as we discussed via mail with Arle about MQM mappings
13:01:24 [fsasaki]
.. RDF modeling works well to build broad consensus and have specializations in sub classes etc.
13:01:42 [fsasaki]
.. need to move forward with people who don't have much experience with writing ontologies
13:01:50 [fsasaki]
.. other important point is API discussion
13:02:01 [fsasaki]
.. also looking into JSON-LD for the payload
13:02:14 [fsasaki]
.. that relates to XLIFF / API discussion as well
13:02:36 [fsasaki]
.. people said: a data model is great - but to use it you will need an API as well
13:02:44 [fsasaki]
.. for different use cases, like in HTML5
13:03:01 [fsasaki]
david: people from XLIFF community got really interested in linked data agenda
13:03:04 [fsasaki]
.. which was good
13:03:22 [fsasaki]
.. was successful in bringing together the two communities and detecting themes and topics
13:03:31 [fsasaki]
dave: discussion and feedback went really well
13:03:40 [fsasaki]
.. me and felix are writing up some notes on this as well
13:04:23 [fsasaki]
topic: aob
13:04:58 [fsasaki]
will have another call next week, same time, to discuss at least three topics: ITS/MQM, Open Data Management for Public Automated Translation Services, and ITS/XLIFF
