LEXIDMA comments

[John McCrae <john.mccrae@insight-centre.org>]

Hi all,

Some comments on things I noticed going through the spec

• I don't have an email address listed as an editor
• Do we really want to allow lexicographic resources with zero entries? Similarly, entries with zero senses?
• Many JSON examples are missing (Ex 10, 26)
  
• The property soundFile is allowed to be a filename. How do ensure portability in this case? Shouldn't we restrict to to URIs?
• The tags have multiple "for" properties, e.g., forHeadwords. Do we have restrictions on how these may be combined, e.g., can a inflectedFormTag apply to headwords or translations or languages. Would it not make sense to combine this into a single property with values, e.g., instead of forHeadwords=true have for="">
• I don't understand the uniqueness constraint in 4.3.2. Can this be made clearer?
  
• In 4.4.8 the list of properties in the text and the JSON seem to be contradictory
• 4.5.2. Can we add a restriction of at least one description or etymon
• The definition of InflectedFormTag (and several others) seems to list different properties in the serializations
• Examples should also be presented in RDF. Perhaps we can make a quick converter to validate and generate examples in multiple serializations.

Regards,

    John
