14:09:06 [Zakim]
agendum 1 -- A11y4Children follow-ups -- taken up [from Lionel_Wolberger]
14:09:25 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: Notes the document from Web accessibility for Children Community Group
14:09:32 [janina]
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18CDOklgwNYK2gILIz_IADeU_TiyQW6kuJWfP3Nhfk1c/edit?usp=sharing
14:10:09 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: Finding well formed opinions based on years of experience
14:10:22 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: They address areas I believe we haven't
14:10:34 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: proposing new attributes, etc
14:10:44 [Lionel_Wolberger]
q?
14:10:51 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: we'll need to consider how to work with this
14:10:58 [Russell]
q?
14:11:32 [janina]
matatk: Didn't see it via our archive
14:12:06 [janina]
matatk: Believe some overlap to COGA, e.g. trauma
14:12:52 [janina]
matatk: phps our concern is to be careful of how many attributes and not overdo
14:13:05 [janina]
matatk: think the what rather than the how may be a useful approach?
14:13:26 [Lionel_Wolberger]

14:13:55 [matatk]
janina: I've also not read it yet, but +1 to matatk
14:14:23 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: Notes their Google Doc is packed with compelling ideas
14:14:41 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: we'll have to schedule processing this
14:14:43 [janina]

14:15:52 [Lionel_Wolberger]
q?
14:16:03 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: asking what our next steps should be?
14:16:07 [janina]
ack mat
14:16:25 [janina]
matatk: agree we need a bit of time to process this
14:16:27 [mike_beganyi]
q+
14:16:47 [janina]
matatk: Do we have existing expertise -- is there sufficient staffing to work on it?
14:17:09 [janina]
matatk: Should note finishing symbols is a priority, but that also gives us a bit of time
14:17:27 [janina]
agenda?
14:17:44 [janina]
q+
14:17:59 [janina]
matatk: suggests pinging COGA for staffing
14:18:30 [janina]
matatk: we need to do some expectation management
14:19:26 [janina]
ack mi
14:19:45 [janina]
mike_beganyi: agree on collab review and synthesizing priorities
14:21:28 [matatk]
janina: Fine with us consulting COGA on guidance, use cases, etc. but they may not be able to help with the technological/architectural issues.
14:21:47 [matatk]
... With respect to UDL, I think the question will be: how few tags can we introduce to meet most of the use cases?
14:22:26 [matatk]
... Are they generalizable in such a way that we can re-organize them on the fly? E.g. in some cases, a H1 may become an H2. I think EPub/DPub would be interested in this (from the conversations we've had).
14:22:48 [matatk]
... RQTF is happy to work on this [UDL] but they need specific questions from us.
14:23:57 [matatk]
Lionel_Wolberger: re-organizing?
14:24:14 [matatk]
janina: You might have a recipe book; the H1s could be e.g. Chicken, or they could be Soups.
14:24:21 [matatk]
... Is that where their thinking is?
14:24:33 [matatk]
s/where their/where the CG's/
14:25:12 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: Will return to this hopefully with some ideas of what next
14:25:40 [janina]
matatk: agrees

agendum 2 -- Issue 240 update, "Could we build symbolic annotations with existing Web standards?" -- taken up [from Lionel_Wolberger]
14:26:59 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: issue 240 with over 3K words
14:27:31 [janina]
Russell: has this grown? Seems there's more there now
14:27:41 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: Perhaps; latest is last week
14:27:45 [janina]
Russell: I know him
14:28:17 [janina]
Russell: Doing unicode for BCI; the registrar for the subtag registry in the unicode group
14:29:07 [janina]
Russell: proposing rather than the BCI ids we use the unicode encoding
14:29:28 [janina]
Russell: I agree it will be widely used once established
14:30:16 [janina]
Russell: concern is that it would be using word spellings for ids, not sure that's what we want
14:30:19 [janina]
q+
14:30:54 [janina]
Russell: believe we would want unique ids
14:31:12 [Lionel_Wolberger]
q?
14:33:04 [janina]
Russell: notes that it would be 0x.. + 0x.. something else rather than our ids
14:33:18 [janina]
russel also bci can change; they're generative
14:33:23 [janina]
ack ja
14:33:44 [janina]
Russell: over time what once had meaning ceases to have meaning
14:34:20 [janina]
Russell: the unique id wouldn't change, though its representation could
14:37:00 [matatk]
q+
14:37:03 [janina]
russel somewhat like the same word, different spellingrusselonce unicode is there it wouldn't change, only expanded
14:37:39 [janina]
Russell: we do have ids for each unicode; but also id for concatinated unicode chars
14:38:05 [janina]
Russell: puts me still on the fence here
14:38:41 [janina]
Russell: bci codes are dependent on bci which should persist, but phps an unnecessary dependency
14:39:01 [janina]
Russell: someone will need to maintain the db
14:39:24 [janina]
Russell: the symbols aren't self explanatory, so concepts need to be maintained
14:41:18 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: we need a primary key, and the unicode may not quite function that way
14:41:21 [janina]
ack mat
14:41:27 [janina]
matatk: very helpful discussion
14:42:01 [janina]
matatk: not up to date on thread but 3 concerns
14:42:31 [janina]
matatk: whether unique values are the symbols or the building blocks for the symbols
14:42:35 [janina]
matatk: understood both
14:42:54 [janina]
matatk: I've seen symbols get deprecated, changed, etc
14:43:03 [janina]
matatk: was that accurate?
14:43:39 [janina]
matatk: we need to know whether we could manage a concatinated set of 0X values
14:43:59 [janina]
Russell: correct
14:44:32 [janina]
Russell: some of this is historical to bliss and how contractions, etc, work
14:45:06 [matatk]
The previous standard Russell mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO-IR-169
14:45:43 [janina]
Russell: notes first was pictographic but then parsed for component parts most of which (but not all) are meaningful on their own -- apparently about 1500
14:46:36 [janina]
Russell: unicode cannot fully display every bliss construction
14:47:54 [janina]
Russell: as unicode evolves, though, it will likely do even better at supporting bliss
14:48:47 [janina]
Russell: the unicode activity is impacting bliss extensions; people consider it as they develop symbol construct
14:49:02 [Lionel_Wolberger]
q?
14:50:01 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: let's see what our next action might be on this ...
14:50:14 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: shares the registry screen
14:51:26 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: if we understand 240 as a suggestion to change our primary key
14:52:25 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: if it's pretty much a straight up replacement of ids for unicode values or concatinated unicode values that could be ok
14:52:55 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: looking at an example with "mind"
14:53:04 [janina]
Russell: great example
14:53:20 [Lionel_Wolberger]
24488drug,mind-altering_drug
14:53:25 [janina]
Russell: "mind altering drugs" would consist of two values
14:53:41 [Lionel_Wolberger]
15471mind,intellect,reason
14:53:42 [janina]
Russell: have actually done it that way, as a compound
14:54:06 [Lionel_Wolberger]
20518sport
14:54:18 [janina]
Russell: similarly "mind sports"
14:54:51 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: thinking the ambiguity and ordering makes unicode a less useful key
14:54:57 [janina]
Russell: certainly less readable
14:55:50 [Lionel_Wolberger]
Proposed response: The topic was discussed at [put offset]
14:56:07 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... we do not find that the unicode spellings will substitute for the ID as we currently use it
14:56:18 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... which constitutes a nonambiguous, unique "Primary Key"
14:56:35 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... in the sense of a Primary Key in SQL and relational database theory
14:56:58 [Lionel_Wolberger]
21799mind_sports
14:57:17 [janina]
matatk: aren't we already sometimes concatinating?
14:57:38 [janina]
Russell: sometimes when the same concept is repeated --
14:58:02 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... we are discussing it, we are not sure that this proposal will substitute for the 'primary key'
