I ADMINISTRATION
  A. Roll call

 

Attendance: Bryan, David W., David F, Fredrik, Lucia, Michael Ow, Tom Comerford, Uwe, Joachim.


  B. Approve meeting minutes, 17 March 2015
     https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201503/msg00006.html

F: I second.

B: Minutes approved.


  C. Revise schedule for XLIFF 2.1   
     https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201406/msg00001.html

B: Do we use this meeting time to discuss this topic or we continue with 2.1 issues?

DF: We have not progressed on other features since last meeting.

B: So if we do not have too much to talk about about 2.1 progress, maybe we can talk about this topic.

B:We can have a look at the slide that Kevin created to show where we are. We are now in section 3, we are some months behind. If we replace November with May, we can envisage October to have the approval. We can also have the FTF meeting to make some improvements. I can publish the updated dates again.

DF: I think it is a good idea to have the new target published, now we only know we are late but haven’t set a new feasible target.

B: Good, I will do it and post it to the mailing list.

DF: The FTF should use to work on pending issues from the draft. We should also discuss the generalized data model and other than XML serializations thereof.

B: we can still talk at the FTF whether we use a calendar driven development or feature completion driven.

DF: We have an administrative issue with the charter, if we want to work on the object model or other serializations, we will need to EITHER reacharter or to create new a parallel TC.

Both has pros and cons. Both mean lot of red tape and the re-chartering would actually stall the XLIFF 2.1 development. On the other hand I feel that we don’t have enough momentum and manpower for a parallel TC.

II XLIFF 2.1

F: Do we have a list of things that need to be done to the spec?

DF: I think we do, we have two approved features. ITS feature it is a big complex feature. Although ITS is modular and we do not absolutely have to support all data categories, we do not want to create a situation where some categories are available natively or through the module and the rest just as extensions. That would be confusing for the community, we agreed on that also in the ITS IG.

F: What is missing?

DF: I would say about 40% is not complete from the complex ITS feature.

F: We can have a wiki page to know what is missing.

DF: we do have one under the ITS group where I track what is being done [transferred, in progress etc.]: https://www.w3.org/International/its/wiki/XLIFF_2.0_Mapping. You can see there the status of each section. Some sections represent more complexity than others.

F: I think a table with data categories and the status could be good, so at a glance you could see what is missing and maybe complete the unfinished items.

DF: Bryan, if I create that table in excel, could you transfer it to the wiki format?

B: Yes, I could.

DF: Good, so I will create the table that F. suggests.

DF: Felix’s group (EC project FREME) has expressed their interest in some categories. It is good because we could get reference implementations (SOUs) from this. We know what categories stabilize first to give them time to implement. It is mainly MT confidence, TA, and Term. Provenance and MT confidence are more complex because they overlap with modules. And I am worried about ctr, as it probably should be reworked to allow for inline codes. ctr would overlap with Provenance.

 

III SUB COMMITTEE REPORT

DF: Lionbridge will be Silver Sponsor of the Symposium as they will provide the room for the FTF meeting and donate catering for the F2F meeting (coffee breaks and lunch).

The FTF meeting will take place on the 1st June.

We have just announced the keynote speaker for the Symposium/FEISGILTT (Loïc Dufresne de Virel (Intel)) but the programme is still in making.

No developments on the ISO front.

We are working on the new state of the art questionnaire.

http://locworld.com/feisgiltt-registration-open/ This is the registration page, but if you are a speaker you will get a discount code when you will get the notification email. There are other discounts, e.g. for OASIS member, both employees of members and individual. But the discounts do not accumulate, you can apply only the best one.

B: Is today’s P&L SC meeting postponed?

Df: Yes. I have exceptionally conflict with ULI TC meeting. The subcommittee members can work offline on the draft of the questionnaire. Next time we can discuss Symposium program.

 

IV  CURRENT AND NEW BUSINESS

B: New business?

Df: we can add for the next meetings an agenda item for the object model and other serializations.

B: Meeting adjourned.
