Description Felix Sasaki 2006-07-19 17:20:15 UTC
Issue #23 of i18nCore comments
http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/0606-its/

The definition of flow of content as 'representing how the nodes of the element should be treated as a single unit for linguistic purposes' is not only hard to read, but doesn't tell me anything about its intended use. Could we be talking about identifying noun phrases?

I think we are talking about identifying translation unit segmentation breaks. If this is the case, please make that clear. I think people reading this could be either unclear about its intent, or misunderstand in such a way that it is implemented for all sorts of uninteroperable structural definitions of the content.

This issue is related to the bug #3318
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3318

The proposed new text is:

"The data category elements within text expresses information about how text parts that go together from a linguistic viewpoint (e.g. sentences, or paragraphs) are affected by elements. For example, the content of the <strong> element in XHTML should not be separated from the text of its parent element. On the other hand the content of the <fn> element in DITA is independent from the content of its parent element. The values associated with this data category are:"

Action: working group to look at the proposal from Yves at http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3495#c1 .

Action: Yves to reword http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3495#c1  taking today's discussion into account.
Comment 4 Yves Savourel 2006-07-31 13:58:48 UTC
Here is my new proposal:

-----
This data category expresses how elements affect the way text content is broken down from a linguistic viewpoint. This is used, for example, to provide basic text segmentation for linguistic tools. The values associated with this data category are:


- "yes" : The element and its content are part of the content of its parent element.

Example: The element <strong> in XHTML

<p><strong>Appaloosa horses<strong> have spotted coats.</p>



- "nested" : The element is part of the content of its parent element, but its content is a separate text unit.

Example The element <fn> in DITA

<p>Palouse horses<fn>A Palouse horse is the same as an Appaloosa.</fn> have spotted coats.</p>



- "no" : The element splits the content of its parent element and each part is a separate text unit.

Example : The element <p> when inside the element <li> in DITA or XHTML

<li>Palouse horses:
 <p>They have spotted coats.</p>
 <p>They have been breed by the Nez Perce.</p>
</li>


Elements not listed are considered to have the value "no".

Comment 8 Yves Savourel 2006-08-17 14:04:29 UTC
The new text (yves' proposal and christian's edit is:

-----
The data category "Elements within text" reveals if and how an element affects the way text content behaves from a linguistic viewpoint. This information is for example relevant to provide basic text segmentation hints for tools such as translation memory systems. The values associated with this data category are:


- "yes" : The element and its content are part of the content of its parent
element.

Example: The element <strong> in XHTML

<p><strong>Appaloosa horses<strong> have spotted coats.</p>


- "nested" : The element is part of the content of its parent element, but its
content is a separate text unit.

Example The element <fn> in DITA

<p>Palouse horses<fn>A Palouse horse is the same as an Appaloosa.</fn> have
spotted coats.</p>


- "no" : The element splits the content of its parent element and each part is
a separate text unit.

Example : The element <p> when inside the element <li> in DITA or XHTML

<li>Palouse horses:
 <p>They have spotted coats.</p>
 <p>They have been breed by the Nez Perce.</p>
</li>


Elements not listed are considered to have the value "no".

Action: editors to make the change.
Comment 9 Christian Lieske 2006-08-18 08:28:17 UTC
Comment has been implemented as follows:

<list type="unordered">
	<item>
		<val>yes</val> : the element and its content are part of the flow of its parent element ; the element &lt;strong&gt; in XHTML; is an example:  &lt;strong&gt; Appaloosa horses  &lt;/strong&gt; have spotted coats.
</item>
	<item>
		<val>nested</val> : the element is part of the flow of its parent element, its content is an independent flow;the element &lt;fn&gt; in DITA is an example:

Palouse horses &lt;fn&gt; A Palouse horse is the same as an Appaloosa. &lt;/fn&gt; have
spotted coats.
</item>
	<item>
		<val>no</val> : the element splits the text flow of its parent element and its content is an independent text flow; the element &lt;p&gt; when inside the element &lt;li&gt; in DITA or XHTML:
 &lt;li&gt; Palouse horses:
&lt;p&gt;They have spotted coats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They have been breed by the Nez Perce.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
