Eg. in a DL list, where the successive DT and DD elements contain terms and definitions without ids. Surely something like termInfoPath is needed. Example 19 shows this scenario quite clearly. Terms are identified, but not linked to the definitions given in the example. FS: You could point to term definitions with a termInfoPointer attribute: <dl> <dt>...</dt> <dd>...<dd> </dl> possibly in a different document (see my reply to your comment 50 below): <its:termRule selector="//dl" termInfoPointer="following-sibling::dd"/> For consistency, I would propose to keep the naming scheme "xxxPointer", and not "termInfoPath". Also for consistency, where should be a global or local termInfo attribute (if the ITS group decides to accept this proposal). 10592 1 ysavourel 2006-07-19 16:27:26 +0000 The proposed resolution for this is to have a termInfoPointer attribute in the <termRule> element. The termInfoPointer attribute value is an XPath expression relative to the node(s) selected by the selector attribute of the <termRule> element. That expression points to the node(s) where the data can be found. So, given the example below: ... <glist> <gitem> <label>Appaloosa</label> <def><p>Rugged saddle horse that has a white or solid-colored coat with small spots.</p></def> </gitem> </glist> ... To express that the <def> element of <gitem> is the definition of the <label> element, we could use the following rule: <its:termRule selector="//gitem/label" termInfoPointer="../def"/> or <its:termRule selector="//gitem/label" termInfoPointer="following-sibling::def"/> A test application illustrating this mechanism can be found here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-its/2006JulSep/0064.html 10733 2 fsasaki 2006-07-24 17:13:41 +0000 Resolution: working group agreed with the proposal at http://www.w3.org/2006/07/19-i18nits-minutes.html#item02 .
