15:07:42 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: Thanks to Russell. We did meet to hammer out deep understanding of 240
15:07:44 [matatk]
https://github.com/w3c/adapt/issues/240
15:07:45 [gb]
https://github.com/w3c/adapt/issues/240 -> Issue 240 Could we build symbolic annotations with existing Web standards? (by DuncanMacWeb) [i18n-tracker]
15:08:12 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: isolated some reasons why this has consumed so many words in github and our calls
15:08:25 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: There are several deep concepts
15:08:28 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: 3 or 4
15:09:02 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: #1 Dealing with Concept vs Representation: Signifier and signified; character vs glyph; idea vs its representation

15:09:53 [matatk]
q+ to suggest something about terminologu
15:09:59 [janina]
ack ma
15:09:59 [Zakim]
matatk, you wanted to suggest something about terminologu
15:10:31 [janina]
matatk: thinking should decide our terminology; likely closely allied to BCI usage
15:10:48 [janina]
matatk: should also put up a table on our wiki with the different ways this plays out as examples
15:10:51 [Lionel_Wolberger]
scribe+
15:10:55 [matatk]
ack me
15:11:00 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: sure. Take it as an action
15:11:25 [Lionel_Wolberger]
matatk: We should capture these different vocabularies
15:11:39 [Lionel_Wolberger]
Lionel_Wolberger: These are the terminologies that I see in different communities
15:11:55 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... 1) lay definition, idea vs representation
15:12:10 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... 2) Unicode, character v glyph
15:12:20 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... semiotics signified v signifier
15:12:50 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: #2: We are talking about symbol sets, but the term is imperfect
15:12:50 [gb]
https://github.com/w3c/adapt/issues/2 -> CLOSED Pull Request 2 fixing typo (by dret)
15:12:58 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: Non-Alphanumeric chars
15:13:32 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: We talk about BCI, ARASAAC, but emoji also come up
15:13:49 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: #3 Concept of Composition
15:13:50 [gb]
https://github.com/w3c/adapt/issues/3 -> CLOSED Issue 3 Avoid human text in attributes (by michael-n-cooper) [i18n-tracker] [action required]
15:14:39 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: composed is a well defined term; concatinated a more informal term for the same concept
15:14:50 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: Sometimes derails the conversation
15:15:04 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: Ex: Emoji but then let's add skin color
15:16:07 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: #4 not yet well defined; Why are we talking Ruby
15:16:07 [gb]
https://github.com/w3c/adapt/issues/4 -> CLOSED Issue 4 Review privacy implications (by michael-n-cooper)

15:22:35 [Lionel_Wolberger]
q?
15:22:39 [janina]
janina: Agree
15:22:48 [janina]
janina gets complicated across multiple langs
15:22:51 [russell]
q?
15:23:10 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: gloss is a BCI term for representation?
15:23:27 [janina]
russell: NO. It's the English, French if you're French; not the symjbol
15:23:31 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: the word concept
15:23:33 [janina]
russell: Yes
15:23:46 [janina]
russell: can be a phrase
15:23:47 [Lionel_Wolberger]

q+
15:26:28 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: Candidates are pictograms, glyphs
15:26:51 [janina]
janina: suggests glyph
15:26:54 [matatk]
q+ to say don't overload with either unicode, nor Bliss/AAC
15:27:03 [Lionel_Wolberger]
russell: In the Bliss world pictographs and pictogram refers to a representation of the concept in that the representation is a cartoon of the idea
15:27:05 [janina]
russell: we would get confused in BCI, but also in other sets
15:27:15 [janina]
russell: Some are purely pictographic
15:27:20 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... most other symbol sets are almost completely pictographic
15:27:24 [janina]
russell: We have specific meanings here
15:27:26 [janina]
q+
15:27:31 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... while Bliss can have some abstract, non-pictographic renderings
15:27:51 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... e.g. Happy is composed of 'feeling' and 'up', not a person smiling
15:28:26 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... bliss is ideographic as opposed to pictographic
15:28:28 [Lionel_Wolberger]
q?

ack ma
15:28:35 [Zakim]
matatk, you wanted to say don't overload with either unicode, nor Bliss/AAC
15:28:59 [janina]
matatk: We need to avoid terms already established in other areas, would get super confusing
15:29:05 [Lionel_Wolberger]
matatk: Clearly these terms glyph, ideograph, pictograph are well defined in some of the communities adjacent to what we do
15:29:32 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... I subject AAC Symbol, Image,
15:29:51 [matatk]
q+
15:30:17 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: Suggest we make a list of definitions
15:30:20 [janina]
janina: suggest grabbing glossaries into our wiki from BCI and unicode
15:30:32 [janina]
russell: like adapt-symbol
15:30:35 [Lionel_Wolberger]
matatk: We may wish to share in Issue 240 that we are working on the issue
15:30:45 [janina]
matatk: Suggest we write this up in 240

agendum 3 -- well-known URI for accessibility proposal/discuss. include in Gap analysis (Lionel) -- taken up [from Lionel_Wolberger]
15:32:45 [matatk]
Three explainers (and specs) 1. The main well-known destinations/information architecture one: https://github.com/w3c/adapt/blob/add-explainers/explainers/well-known-destinations.md 2. Accessibility statement metadata/schema: https://github.com/w3c/adapt/blob/add-explainers/explainers/accessibility-meta.md 3. Accessibility reporting: https://github.com/w3c/adapt/blob/add-explainers/explainers/accessibility-reporting.md More background info: https:[CUT]
15:32:59 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: looking for status on how we get to a draft
15:33:13 [matatk]
More background info: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-adapt/2023Nov/0012.html
15:34:13 [janina]
matatk: explains the three separate drafts with different topic in each
15:34:29 [janina]
matatk: notes using TAG template
15:34:49 [janina]
matatk: Also working on actual spec; and Explainer will reference the spec
15:35:06 [janina]
matatk: But explainer has the use cases and the why we do as we do in our specs
15:35:13 [janina]
matatk: first is most developed
15:35:24 [janina]
matatk: will work on spec in same vein
15:35:42 [janina]
matatk: mostly destinations work in first module
15:35:46 [Lionel_Wolberger]
q+
15:35:57 [janina]
matatk: adds SAP proposal to make A11y Statement a common destination
15:36:26 [janina]
matatk: This is about what should be in an A11y Statement
15:36:42 [janina]
q+ to ask whether what goes in a statement should be determined WAI wide
15:37:03 [janina]
matatk: maybe this one doesn't become a spec?
15:37:20 [janina]
matatk: There are technical problems to solve here
15:37:34 [janina]

I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2023/11/21-adapt-minutes.html janina
15:37:57 [janina]
matatk: Lastly reporting ...
15:38:23 [janina]
matatk: some useful things to channel feedback in standard ways; automated or semi-automated test results
15:39:06 [janina]
matatk: it's really about info architecture solutions -- more general than just a11y
15:39:17 [matatk]
q?
15:39:38 [Abhinav]
q?
15:40:02 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: need to understand how destination is the same as well-known-URI
15:40:19 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: starting with our def of destination
15:41:19 [janina]
matatk: Common areas of sites that users would want to access; came from COGA and haven't found the list doc
15:41:47 [janina]
matatk: several listed in the spec; e.g. search page, login; logout suggested; products; a11y statement
15:42:50 [janina]
matatk: our login example, especially with complex site: login, vs log in, vs signin, vs sign in
15:43:03 [janina]
janina: w3.org is a great example!
15:43:35 [janina]
matatk: help for checkout process is different from the site help page; it's help with what I'm doing now
15:43:52 [janina]
janina: Excellent point most often honored in its breach!!
15:44:26 [janina]
matatk: rhel very appropriate, with keywords, to make valid rhel values
15:44:47 [janina]
matatk: the earlier case is the general help
15:44:55 [janina]
matatk: the specific is tagged with rhel
15:45:21 [Lionel_Wolberger]
Lionel_Wolberger: For reference, here is a link to destination https://raw.githack.com/w3c/adapt/CR-content-2022-07-26/content/index.html#destination-explanation
15:46:06 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: destination is target; users don't want to land where they don't expect
15:46:33 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: notes that some destinations might be portions of a page
15:47:18 [janina]
Abhinav: how would subpage uri look?
15:48:17 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: well-known is to be a page, but could be a redirect
15:49:00 [janina]
matatk: Asks githubp process ...
15:49:21 [janina]
matatk: will look
15:49:40 [janina]
matatk: notes github comment feature not very accessible for sr users
15:49:54 [janina]
matatk: suggests pr better for that reason
15:50:28 [janina]
matatk: recalls tpac discussion covered multiple info arch reasons for this
15:50:41 [janina]
matatk: asked whether a param would work ...
15:50:45 [janina]
matatk: but that's rhel
15:51:42 [janina]
ma easier to edit html than change struct of wku
15:52:18 [janina]
Abhinav: login can be different for every user
15:52:34 [janina]
Abhinav: need to discuss how we want things to work
15:53:04 [janina]
Abhinav: notes site nav; destination probably
15:53:30 [janina]
Abhinav: we may be trying to fit two concepts together and need to get clear on this
15:54:25 [Lionel_Wolberger]
janina: Comment on this conversation: worried that we are missing an architectural support feature
15:54:44 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... not only land on a page, but we would like the 'span' to be highlighted sufficiently
15:55:07 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... if you land in a page with login for example, the exact region with the login should be highlighted for the benefit of the end user who might be COGA
15:55:37 [Lionel_Wolberger]
... for accessibility statement, we may need to handle metadata regarding its validity, e.g., this replaces the previous statement
15:57:10 [janina]
Lionel_Wolberger: thanks group for great call
15:57:43 [janina]
