<jeff_xu> count me in
...: "We need bitmaps for explanations of layouts."
Dave: "Such as complex table layouts, with decimals, and different information in different rows."
Markus: "We said we'd start on table alignment. But are there are layout topics that concern you more, you can work on that as well."
Markus: "There is no end date, so it's an endless pit of potential work. But we need to be careful to finish one item at a time. Such as table decimal alignment."
Nick: "I want to help out, but cannot right now."
Markus: "If you have people in your organization who would be interested in working on this, let us know."
Paul: "Pearson should be able to provide some samples."
Markus: "Is there a contact person?"
Paul: "I will reach out and follow up."
Dave: "I'm happy as pearson is the motherload of such tables."
Markus: "CFC/DPUB/AAM. Consensus to go
ahead with 2nd working draft of the epub ARIA roles. That's moving
along. ARIA group has been made aware. They're doing their own stuff
now. It'll soon be live on w3.org. This doc has a companion which is the
DPUB AAM. Which has the accessibility module.
...: "This is a map of how the various roles should map to different
platforms. The linked document is the last version of it. It has been
authored by Rich Shortfinger of IBM. It wasn't available publicly
before, what we're hoping to do is publish it in a first public working
draft state - next to the main role document."
... "Some of you have followed it's development. Some of you have not.
What we need to do, as requested from the ARIA group, is to make a call
for concensus and moving ahead with the first public working draft of
this. My question to all is : 'if - perhaps ivan - should we do an email
CFC or a vote here?'"
Ivan: "Formally speaking we are free to choose what we feel is OK - as it is not published by this interest group. It's published from the ARIA working group. If we record a resolution on this call, that's fine."

Markus: "Ivan, in order to get people on the same page, can you do a brief update on the changes to the document over the last month?"
<ivan> https://rawgit.com/w3c/dpub-pwp/post-2015-tpac/index.html
Ivan: "The version you put was the
officially published one. The one I just posted is the GIT unpublished
branch."
...: "What I did was look at the discussion from TPAC and bring back the
results there. there are some minor points that made. There were some
issues noted with service workers and issues accessing local files -
which may or may not be a problem later, but it needed to be recorded
later."
... "another thing is that it's pretty clear that the manifest is
something we'll have to deal with for metadata or identifier, although
that was already part of the document. I reinforced that a bit. It's
really made for web applications, but at least we can base what we're
doing on it."

: Ivan's slides for Sapporo in identifiers
...: "Who those who were not in Sapporo, we had a discussion on
identifiers. Let me put the pointers in chat."
<ivan> http://www.w3.org/2015/10/29-dpub-minutes.html#item02
: discussion minutes
...: "The discussion minutes are there - so I tried to extract the most
important parts. The most important part - as we go a long way in
describing all the issues, the question is 'what is the URI of
Shakespeare's hamlet, VS my personal copy of Hamlet. As the discussion
goes, it's something we have to simply keep away from once and for all."
... "There were some similar issues with the semantic web work that
caused issues."
...: "We would need 2 identifiers in FTWP - A generic stable ID - and
ISBN, DOI, etc. It has to be stable and that's all. Separately, we need
a URL - an HTTP URI - and these 2 should go hand in hand. If I make a
copy for my own usage..."
<pkra> yep
Ivan: "At some point in time we can add metadata. I put the essentials of that in the document."Bill: "Am I right that you have 1 and only one URL and then multiple URN?"
Ivan: "There is a URN that identifies the document, and a URL that identifies it on the web. They can both be the same, but there are two concepts."
Bill: "Can the spec allow more than one URN to associate with a document? Publishers may need that..."
Ivan: "Sure, there could be more, but lets flag it for an issue as I don't have an answer for that now."
Markus: "The URL is required, but it could be 'only' that. That's ok, correct?"
Ivan: "The Identifier and the URL can be distinct. "
ivan: "If a publication consists of many documents, is there a canonical way of accessing that. Because it's on the web, each of those documents may have their own URL. Some are on my domain, and some others... "
Markus: "In terms of referencing resources within the publication - we have the main URL - which serves as the ID of the whole thing. Then we want to reference individual entities that live within the document. In webapps it's called a "scope URL"..."
<mgylling> http://example/com/2/
<mgylling> http://example/com/2/index.html
...: "So everything is interpreted with the scope URL as the base..."
... "Is that all fine and dandy. Not sure we can verbatim copy this URL
notation, but is that the simpler way to identify that."
Ivan: "This is one of the options I listed. The only problem we have is that if the document is physically on your domain, you need to understand the scope, otherwise how can you find it. The other option we discussed was to have some sort of a mapping table that is part of the manifest. So the publication always sees the resources with the scope URL as you call it. The mapping has to be done by the manifest, which means the scoping is done by the document."
Ivan: "I realize I stepped over one
question - which is in the document - if I dereference the cannonical
URL (make an HTTP GET) what do I get back?"
...: "There are several answers that are not exclusive. One is that what
I get back is the manifest file with the right media type. Or I get back
an HTML file with a link element set to the manifest file. Or I get back
something and a link Header that leads to the manifest file. The
manifest file will represent the document as a whole. In this approach,
it has this kind of role instead. "
<Bill_Kasdorf> +1 to this
...: "This means that the only way we use fragment identifiers is for
the individual resources. This allows us to use all the fragment
identifiers that we've already pointed out. These were the main points
that we put into this document. What I'd like is this: 1) Look at the
document - the GITHUB version - and provide comments. Once I've
collected the comments, lets publish a new version.
Publish often and publish a lot, keep document up to date. 2) Question: IDPF work and how this relates to that..."
Markus: "#2 is a separate agenda item."
Tim: "The issue of scope (or context) has
come up in annotations in a different way. Here we keep the URL's
separate. There is a special kind of selector. If we're noting an image
on site A or B, we note each URL to keep track."
...: "I just want to make sure that was there in the current version."
<pkra> yes please!
Ivan: "What the annotation people do - is not use a fragment identifier directly, but make a combination of different needs. I can use an xpath selector, then another selector for the end of the range. It's not a URI, it's a structure in the JSON that is used for the annotation. What I think is doable - and what the annotation group is working on. That we should be able to express the same thing with fragments as well
Tim: "What it does it allow you to talk
about two different URLs - especially when one is contained in another.
Such as an image that is located in a different region that the page
it's located in."
... "The idea of putting the two URLs together does seem dicey."
Markus: "Setting fragment identification aside for the moment - as it is a separate beast - I'm just thinking about PWP identity discussion from earlier. Epub 3.1 revision is ongoing - until next autumn. We hope to stop making changes to the draft. One ambition with 3.1 is a future migration from EPUB 3 into PWP. We want things to be more forward compatible with PWP. The question is: should we ask DPUB to become an advisory entity for IDPF for potnetially making identifiers in EPUB?"
Nick: "What's the downside?"
Markus: "From IDPF there is no downside,
they need it. From DPUB perspective, the downside is that we're not
entirely sure that the PWP outline is mature. We may end up doing
changes in epub that aren't what PWP uses. "
...: "Focusing on this in a practical implementation will help PWP as
well. So that is a good thing for PWP."
Bill: "First, I'm on both groups and support this idea. What does it constitute exactly?"
Markus: "IDPF would reach out to DPUB and
say: 'Help me DPUB-IG, you're my only hope.'"
...: "Then we'd provide our input. We'd be a sub-group working on one
particular issue."
Bill: "The issue is timing. DPUB wouldn't be able to provide anything mature now, but being on both sides benefits both groups."
Markus: "The burning question - in the scope of 12 months, could something become mature enough to put it in Epub 3.1?"
Bill: "By formalizing the relationship, it would make it more likely to succeed."
Markus: "We're committing to try."
Markus: "Due to technical issues, I think
we'll end now."
...: "The IDPF and DPUB chairs will do some discussion and come back
next week with a clearer picture."
... "I've noted support for the idea, and we'll investigate further.
We'll have a firm approach for vetting next week."
