Meeting minutes
General announcement: TPGi webinar that touches upon Symbols: https://
Accessibility 4 Children
janina: We're looking forward to reading about the ontology.
… We should ping the group.
Minutes from our call with ACCG: https://
Lionel_Wolberger will contact them.
Adapt wiki: Symbol CR and Registry FPWD are not mentioned
Sharon: Just a reminder on this.
janina: ACK matatk's email about some other APA/TF pages that need updating - will add to APA-plan agenda.
janina: Some of these are pages that we need staff to update.
Gap Analysis
janina: We need to be sure to keep ACCG and COGATF lopoed in. We're looking for curb cuts. We want to reassure everyone that their concerns are taken into consideration.
Lionel_Wolberger: +1
Lionel_Wolberger: We'll carry this as a long-term agendum.
janina: We need to've finished this when we go to our next CR, with the next attributes.
janina: There are mainstream implications of COGA's excellent work.
matatk: I was thinking of the gap analysis action ...
matatk: Namely, why not microformats, etc.
Sharon: Correct, that's where this agendum originates.
matatk: Apologies, I've stalled on this
matatk: I do have Lionel's pointers on this
matatk: I could use a refresh pointer ...
matatk: You did it usefully and structurally off the top of your head! Impressive.
Lionel_Wolberger: Sure
Lionel_Wolberger: Shares screen, recommends screen grab
Lionel_Wolberger: Includes rhel, auto-complete, microformats, css media queries, dpub (using a rhel type approach),
janina: RDF as well?
matatk: Yes, but you were explaining an engineering approach of how to do a good gap analysis
matatk: It's the process I'm trying to get back to
matatk: example, using X is too encumbered
Sharon: I remember now
Sharon: May be in our minutes ... Maybe December?
Sharon: Will dig them up
Lionel_Wolberger: The end point is to dispose of this concern so we never need revisit it.
Lionel_Wolberger: Follow classic engineering gap analysis approach; write it up; make a decision; and file it where we can always find it!
matatk: thanks for the individual help on this. It will help!
Sharon: I dug into the former minutes back to December, and cannot find this
Symbol Module Implementations
Gap Analysis
Lionel_Wolberger: I found six steps, identified by ChatGPT.
Lionel_Wolberger: Pasting here
[1] Identify the item we are focusing on, Define its function
[2] Identify the item we're comparing it to, and identify its function
[3] Identify the gaps or differences.
[4] For each gap identified, assess impact on a simple
[5] Take a decision and Memorialize it
[6] Make the record of the gap analysis available
Symbol Module Implementations
janina: Next steps include meeting with Bliss, Global Symbols, and anyone in COGA who's interested, and extend the current published Registry draft.
… We need to define how to internationalize it. Namely, do the symbols change if the BCI index value/descriptive text are looked up in a different language? I expect the answer to be yes.
… Once we have authoritatively answered this, I can reply on issue 203.
janina: We need to define:
… 1. How to add more languages.
… 2. How to add more symbol sets.
… 3. How to update existing datum points.
janina: We decided the first one was i18n. Roy took an action to reach out to the i18n chair.
Lionel_Wolberger: This is an APA item?
janina: It was being handled by Michael, but we'd like to move it to Adapt.
janina: I don't think it'll impact meeting time much; is a natural vector for recruiting.
RESOLUTION: The Adapt TF will take on the development of the AAC Registry.
https://
matatk: Regarding 2 above, it will be about mapping to the existing set of concepts; symbol providers will be making their own mappings.
janina: +1; we need to define how they do that normatively.
Lionel_Wolberger: If I'm another symbol set, I want to be attached to it?
janina: You'd be listed in it.
Lionel_Wolberger: I was wondering about this as well as matatk. This is so that the symbols are discoverable? This will be another section of the registry?
janina: yes
Lionel_Wolberger: and 3 above is about how to update the concepts?
janina: yes
janina: People may join us just to work on those things.
matatk: Points out potential issues with W3C maintaing a list of pointers to other symbol sets, these will need to be explored
