david: renat said he will check with serge, did not come back to us yet

15:09:28 [fsasaki]
yves: nothing to add on the mapping at the moment
15:09:46 [fsasaki]
.. did not have time to follow up, will try to work on that in the coming months
15:09:57 [fsasaki]
.. not sure if we will have time to implement everything before the end of the year
15:10:13 [fsasaki]
.. phil and others are working on using it and implementing that in ocelot
15:10:20 [fsasaki]
.. using e.g. lqi and provenance
15:10:42 [fsasaki]
.. they will be working on it also on the end of the year rather than now
15:11:18 [fsasaki]
felix: is that an issue process wise in OASIS? the OASIS xliff 2.1 timing and the mapping progress?
15:11:29 [fsasaki]
david: xliff tc decided that we want to have yearly releases
15:11:44 [fsasaki]
.. two related things: 1) transfering the mapping into the OASIS specification format
15:11:49 [fsasaki]
.. I am starting that work this week
15:11:53 [fsasaki]
.. I am a bit worried
15:12:07 [fsasaki]
.. if work continues in the wiki we may end up with scattered information
15:12:29 [fsasaki]
.. like to have a simple rule: don't touch ... in the wiki so that I can transfer that to the OASIS template
15:12:46 [fsasaki]
.. the OASIS draft will be public, only OASIS TC members will be able to edit
15:12:50 [fsasaki]
.. must happen sooner or later
15:12:54 [fsasaki]
.. we are kind of late
15:13:03 [fsasaki]
.. implementations by the end of the year is fine
15:13:18 [fsasaki]
.. question is: will we have approved spec in the committee specification phase
15:13:53 [fsasaki]
.. I would take all categogries marked for review and leave others for now until next call
15:14:42 [fsasaki]
felix: next call timing?
15:14:46 [fsasaki]
david: before loc world
15:15:17 [yves_]
Oct-20 would work for me.
15:15:20 [fsasaki]
action: felix to announce next call 20 october, to prepare for loc world
15:15:20 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-51 - Announce next call 20 october, to prepare for loc world [on Felix Sasaki - due 2014-10-06].
15:15:58 [fsasaki]
david: felix had good input, also summarizing issues - some are not even issues, some categories are not metadata, this is not really relevant
15:16:14 [fsasaki]
.. we should have a feeling how it goes in three weeks
15:16:27 [fsasaki]
jörg: maybe inbetween david can give feedback on the work in progress
15:16:45 [serge]
serge has joined #i18nits
15:16:54 [fsasaki]
david: sure, I will send a link to the xliff 2.1 draft
15:16:59 [fsasaki]
present+ serge
15:17:50 [fsasaki]
serge: we (logrus) want to come back on XLIFF 2.0 mapping issue, for sure
15:18:05 [fsasaki]
.. I understand that xliff 2.1 is going to incooperate ITS 2.0
15:18:14 [fsasaki]
.. so we would like to get back to everything we discovered
15:18:55 [fsasaki]
felix: would be great to get some feedback in the next three weeks
15:19:23 [fsasaki]
serge: ok, I'll look into that

topic: decide about XLIFF testing design
15:20:40 [fsasaki]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its-ig/2014Sep/0008.html
15:22:05 [fsasaki]
david: not sure how the ITS2 test site worked - in OASIS we don't have application hosting, just simple SVN
15:22:08 [fsasaki]
.. we have wiki and SVN
15:22:11 [fsasaki]
.. that's it
15:22:41 [fsasaki]
.. does not seem to me that we would be able to replicate W3C testing structure
15:22:54 [fsasaki]
.. we will have reference files that we had for XLIFF 2.0
15:23:01 [fsasaki]
.. XLIFF files with ITS extensions or mappings
15:23:14 [fsasaki]
.. how they are supposed to look before and after
15:23:27 [fsasaki]
.. test automation is not a requirement for OASIS
15:23:37 [fsasaki]
.. in W3C you need to present test suite results to progress
15:23:46 [fsasaki]
.. in OASIS you need to present statement of use
15:24:12 [fsasaki]
.. advanced validation was also approved for XLIFF 2.1
15:24:27 [fsasaki]
.. we will be able to test a lot using schematron rules, without having a specific test suite
15:25:15 [fsasaki]
serge: very soon, 9th october, I will have a call with world server interest group - consists of clients, interested in new technologies

[discussion on ITS2 / XLIFF 2.1 outreach]
15:30:51 [fsasaki]
felix: testing the mapping - would we need input files in a given format, e.g. HTML5?
15:31:28 [fsasaki]
david: how the extraction is performed is normally out of scope of xliff - this may be an issue with ITS now
15:31:41 [fsasaki]
.. for ITS we may have more stages even than input - output
15:32:01 [fsasaki]
.. not sure about step between original format and XLIFF - it is probably not going to be normative
15:32:29 [fsasaki]
.. we can have best practices - the xliff tc had reference guides but never talked about how the extraction is done

15:34:42 [fsasaki]
serge: please keep this on the agenda
15:34:47 [fsasaki]
.. this topic will develop further
15:35:09 [fsasaki]
.. if we don't have substantial revision of the document, it is time to get through the channels we have and try to push this throuhg
15:35:24 [fsasaki]
.. I will try to propose this as a presentation topic at the lt-innovate summit
15:35:33 [fsasaki]
.. we can try to email this to various people in this theme
15:35:55 [fsasaki]
action: felix to announce work for data managemnt document
15:35:55 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-52 - Announce work for data managemnt document [on Felix Sasaki - due 2014-10-06].
15:36:26 [fsasaki]
topic: other open items

15:37:13 [fsasaki]
"An interface COTI between authoring and translation memory systems is planned. The specification may be downloaded from this page and commented."
15:38:20 [fsasaki]
felix: any comments on this? should we contact the people?
15:38:31 [fsasaki]
david: the people do what they think they have to do
15:38:46 [fsasaki]
.. I went through the doc today
15:38:54 [fsasaki]
.. this has an overlap with linport
15:39:21 [fsasaki]
.. approach of spec is similar to linport and tip approach - sending a zip package that can contain project files
15:39:52 [fsasaki]
.. not sure how the project files are supposed to be structured - the doc seems to define a soap envelope
15:39:58 [fsasaki]
.. which is not in conflict with what we are doing
15:40:06 [fsasaki]
.. this is a kind of web services interface
15:40:17 [fsasaki]
.. they define an XML wrapper based on SOAP
15:40:27 [fsasaki]
.. there is not necessarily a conflict
15:41:05 [fsasaki]
.. but I'm a bit worried that there was no interest in contact - there is a potential for mismatch
15:41:29 [fsasaki]
.. but at the same time I think there is not a clash - one could propose xliff 2.0 as a payload for their soap envelope
15:41:40 [fsasaki]
.. xliff does not say anything about the web service should work
15:42:10 [fsasaki]
.. there may be a conflict with the object model and API that people now want to see for XLIFF 2.0
15:42:23 [fsasaki]
.. above feedback is based on me looking into this before today's call
15:42:38 [fsasaki]
.. behind this there is a trade org of german content producers
15:43:23 [fsasaki]
.. the spec does not seem to follow some current practices, e.g. it has its own definitions of keywords "must, can, ..."
15:43:35 [RRSAgent]
I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2014/09/29-i18nits-minutes.html fsasaki
15:43:49 [fsasaki]
.. they are referencing xml and soap, and they are referencing some standards
15:44:13 [fsasaki]
jörg: there is a huge gap in communication between different communities - it seems they don't know about xliff and so on
15:45:46 [fsasaki]
david: hard to achieve things via mail
15:46:18 [fsasaki]
felix: will be at tekom again, will try again to contact them and see what happens
15:47:04 [fsasaki]
david: maybe alan melby could be helpful - linport is in clahs with this
15:47:06 [fsasaki]
jörg: not really
15:47:17 [fsasaki]
.. it is a little bit from linport and tipp, and then their own way
15:47:30 [fsasaki]
david: xliff can be payload of anything
15:48:31 [fsasaki]
jörg: I can check with Alan to see if he has talked to these guys
15:48:58 [fsasaki]
felix: thanks
