Is it a glossary list, is it a thesaurus. 16:31:57 Is the "common words" gone or not? 16:31:57 Presumably "Provide words or phrases from a public core vocabulary" should start "Use words..."? 16:31:58 q- 16:32:55 Lisa: these are the words that are the most common words for this context. So instead of caling in “hypertext markup language” you refer to it as “html”. Test against your word list. 16:33:11 I do not support "common words" 16:34:33 I have a suggestion 16:34:39 Sending to the group 16:35:08 Why does the dictionary have to be technology agnostic 16:36:06 zakim, who is on the phone? 16:36:06 Present: JF, allanj, ChrisLoiselle, Joshue108, Laura, JamesN, JakeAbma, Detlev, Kathy, David-MacDonald, Mike, Elledge, dboudreau, Glenda, MikeGower, Melanie_Philipp, Makoto, Wayne, 16:36:09 ... jasonjgw, kirkwood_, KimDirks, 1, Katie_Haritos-Shea, alastairc, AWK, steverep 16:36:09 q+ 16:36:11 scribe: Rachael 16:36:17 q+ 16:36:24 q? 16:36:25 Glenda has left #ag 16:36:29 Q+ 16:36:32 How does it work when people refer to the law for plain language? http://www.plainlanguage.gov/plLaw/index.cfm 16:36:32 Joshue: People are unsure of how thi swill be implemented. 16:36:35 ack jas 16:36:38 Here is a public list: button label html wcag ws3c 16:37:08 present+ 16:38:55 Jason: Two problems that we have not addressed. Its entirely testable whether a word being used in content or not but difficult to determine which list. If you don't constrain the word list contents, then you can satisfy the requirement by generating a word list that meets your desired language. The second is the use of context. What are the restraints and criteria of adequacy for context and contents? Then how much will this help anyway? 16:39:11 +1 to Jason's comments, I'm struggling to see how the "common words" aspect would improve things in practice. 16:39:23 I think there are serious testability issues before we get to efficacy. 16:39:28 So if 1500 common words for doctors is different than for financial professionals than for a psychology grad course -- I'm not sure it gives us anything - how does it help anyone? 16:39:47 Lisa: I would like EA to respond as she's the expert. 16:40:01 Getting to a common agreement as to what those 1500 words is also puzzling to me. 16:40:19 I've tried to explain it so perhaps we should arrange a seperate call where the experts can discuss why this is so important. 16:40:23 +1 to off line call 16:41:00 q+ 16:41:52 It's a "a public word frequency list for the identified context.", but don't understand how that helps for niche topics. 16:42:11 Lisa: I thought I'd updated the inormation about how big the corpous has to be. How to build it . What are the contraints -- we can discuss this more if this is the right direction. How do we define context: its in the definition. We could make that definition clearer if you feel that is too weak. Neither of these are show stoppers but we have to first agree on the directoin. 16:42:24 rrsagent, draft minutes 16:42:24 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2017/05/23-ag-minutes.html AWK_ 16:42:36 Lisa: I suggest we have an extra call to discuss how we would do this. 16:43:07 Lisa: There are multiple techniques to address this. 16:43:28 Have to go...have same concerns as others. Thank you Lisa for more info and offer for call. 16:43:39 Updated SC text no longer has “1500”: https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/plain-language-minimum_ISSUE-30/guidelines/sc/21/plain-language-minimum.html 16:43:49 Sorry I had my hand up and was going to support you Lisa. +1 to Lisa's suggestion 16:44:15 do people like the direction of the common words :Provide words, phrases or abbreviations that are the most-common form to refer to the concept in a public word frequency list for the identified context. 16:46:14 Mike: We have an SC that says headers and labels descri topic or purpose. We have 3.3.2 that says you have to provide lables and instructions. So we have an SC that says you have to have labels and thy have to be dsecribe something. We do not have an SC that says the instructions have ot say sometihng useful. Would a solution be to mimic the headings SC for instructions. 16:46:34 @lisa - I feel your idea has merit, but it’s implementation appears to be completely unmanageable & unrealistic in the wild… :/ 16:46:45 Lisa: I'm not sure how that would address the user need. 16:47:49 Mike: It won't address everything but would fill a clear hole. 16:48:02 Lisa: They need to navigate to the content. 16:48:06 Also, how will that list translate in different languages? 16:48:23 Lisa: People use termiology in labels nad buttons that can't be understood. 16:48:49 Yes this is a problem as Lisa has just said. 16:48:54 Mike: I regulalry fail people for bad labels but I can't for instructions. 16:49:00 @goverm: draft that? 16:49:17 Yes, I will draft. 16:49:30 do people like the direction of the common words :Provide words, phrases or abbreviations that are the most-common form to refer to the concept in a public word frequency list for the identified context. 16:50:53 -1 due to unclear scope and applicability of the public word frequency list and doubt that it will cover different cases well 16:51:05 I think the public word frequency list is really problematic, either it is common & public in which case it can't apply to all content, or it is specific to a site and worthless for this SC. 16:51:13 John: The current wording doesn't say what to do with the words. 16:51:20 I'm still not sure if we could do this for Japanese language. 16:51:38 I think the word list is really difficult as well. 16:51:58 John: The wording needs to state that the words used must be taken from the list. 16:52:02 @makoto - my point Makoto, how could we ever guarantee the internationalization of this idea? 16:52:09 Japanese can have its own list of characters representing their version of simple language as done with all AAC users and those who have cognitive difficulties 16:53:06 Lisa: The word frequency list is built using a tool across sites. The point is that it is a context wide list. What are common words used in programming? 16:53:26 Lisa: Then from there the words need to be the most common terms. That is how you use it. 16:53:30 This seems like "best practice" non-normative idea. I could support that. 16:53:39 Building this word list sounds like it would take more time than doing an accessibility audit of the site... 16:54:00 John: Does every site need to create a word list? 16:54:03 John Rochford has been working on this and I think we need to have a discussion on how he managed this issue with Watson and IBM 16:54:16 Lisa: I've offered to create lists for 10 industries. 16:54:37 John: Will the list for a florist be the same for a coffee shop? 16:54:48 NB: There isn't an exception for names in the SC text yet. 16:54:59 Lisa: The lists should be the same unless you are getting into a really obscure topic. 16:55:20 You have a fringe vocabulary that are the specific names etc - Core vocabularies are the most frequently used words 16:56:00 agree with Alastair - nothing in language exempts names of things... 16:56:10 John: Which word list is used to test and where do we get it from? 16:56:59 Lisa: If you are talking about conformance, the tester can select a word list. 16:57:07 * I do as well. 16:57:35 @EA - I've never seen the list for Japanese. I'd like to know who can create the list. How about Korean, Chinese and any other languages? That's my concern. 16:57:54 Good point Makoto 16:58:02 Joshue: We will have to wrap this up. We can take it up again on Thursday. Chair hat off, I understand John's concerns. 16:58:04 +1 to Makoto’s concern 16:58:23 Lisa: Can someone float an alternative? 16:58:37 Speech and Language therapists have to use core vocabularies in all their own languages on a regular basis - teachers, NLP, etc all have lists 16:58:44 AWK: These are at the techniques as well . 16:59:37 q+ 16:59:41 Joshue: I think Mike Gower was write that these may be addressed using techniques. Its not my job to say how to do that for a domain I'm not an expert in. I understand where you are coming from too. 16:59:45 Sorry I can not do Thursday but hope I can help later. 17:00:31 I am asking for a measurable Success Criteria, and the current wording doesn't provide this. 17:00:45 Can we not leave it a week? 17:00:51 How about hanging the techniques off of existing SCs? 17:00:54 +1 to JF 17:01:02 If a "best practice" or has an exception for specialized professions/language - could possibly support. 17:01:08 Joshue: Lets give this a bit more time. Lisa is out so lets mark this for another week. Give people a chance to think about it. 17:01:50 bye. 17:02:01 laura has left #ag 17:02:09 zakim, end meeting 17:02:09 I don't understand 'end meeting', Rachael 17:02:27 trackbot, end meeting 17:02:27 Zakim, list attendees 17:02:27 As of this point the attendees have been JF, allanj, ChrisLoiselle, Joshue108, Laura, JamesN, JakeAbma, Detlev, Kathy, David-MacDonald, Mike, Elledge, dboudreau, Glenda, MikeGower, 17:02:30 ...
