Subject: DITA Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 18 July 2006
Apologies for sending the minutes out so late this week. Our ISP in Haifa had technical difficulties this week and are running on a skeleton staff, so the fix took longer than it should have. Without DNS resolution I didn't have access to several Web site, including OASIS. Best Regards, Gershon --- Gershon L Joseph Member, OASIS DITA and DocBook Technical Committees Director of Technology and Single Sourcing Tech-Tav Documentation Ltd. office: +972-8-974-1569 mobile: +972-57-314-1170 http://www.tech-tav.com

Stan Doherty moved to create the SC as detailed in the referenced email. Scott seconded. --DECISION-- TC agrees to create the DITA learning and training content SC (actual name of SC to be decided). 3.3 ITEM: indexing clarification * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200607/msg00033.html (latest on subject) * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200606/msg00125.html and following Discussed Translation SC concerns regarding <indexterm> and sub-flows. --ACTION-- TC to take indexing issue back to Translation SC to explain expected behavior of <indexterm> in DITA. Chris and/or Bruce to discuss with Rodolfo and Andrzej on list and/or at next Monday's SC meeting. Request for France to participate on the SC call too. Paul G addressed TC on his index range concerns: 1) What's the expected behavior of index range on <prolog>? Chris: Should be ignored. Paul: Users will wonder why they're ignored, we should rather disallow them, but this is difficult to achieve in XML DTDs. Suggestion to document this behavior. 2) Why don't we allow <indexterm> inside <title> to set an index range for the entire topic? Don: <indexterm> in <prolog> does this. Chris: Not intuitive. Perhaps better if index term in prolog points only to the beginning of the topic. 3) Can users have index entries point to shortdesc? Nancy: Leave out for now and see if users ask for it... Erik: Workaround exists by inserting <ph> inside <shortdesc>, which does allow <indexterm>. Same workaround applies to users who want to reference a specific point in a prolog. --DECISION-- TC consensus on the answers to Paul's questions above. 3.4 ITEM: references to ditabases without an explicit topicid * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200607/msg00025.html (latest on subject) Not addressed due to lack of time. 3.5 ITEM: question on <resource> element in bookmap (Nancy Harrison) * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200607/msg00021.html --DECISION-- Remove <resource> from bookmap in DITA 1.1. 3.6 Announce: architectural spec now available; language ref coming (bookmap updates still arriving) * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200607/msg00026.html 4.
