OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC member, Seraphim Larsen has closed this action item. Number: #0024 Description: Update document on Universality ... Owner: Mr. Robert Anderson Status: Closed Due: 13 Sep 2005 Comments: Seraphim Larsen 2005-09-06 18:42 GMT From TC Meeting 06 Sept 2005: - #12 universality of univ-atts - http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/download.php/14302/IssueNumber12.html - NOTE: Scribe may have mixed up Bruce Esrig and Robert Anderson in a few places in the following discussion! - Robert Anderson - Some use cases: - (1) Translate xlng can be set to indicate whether or not something should be translated. - (2) Users expect filtering atts to be available on every element - (3) Adding ID and Conref atts to make reuse possible in more locations. Also possible to reuse info such as copyright without having to rewrite it for every element. - Bruce Esrig - So, would att data be available at map level and roll down to topic level? - Don -- That's partially avaiable now, but not for every element - Bruce -- Which elements have that? - Robert -- Should be in documentation, but not sure if it's all there - Bruce -- Useful thing to mention this under metadata in the documentation - Don - Robert's got the list of elements that would use the att - Robert - In the list of elements atts, the only one he omitted was for table entries, because CALS style tables might have issues for editors and processing - Michael Priestley - Another place to disallow filtering is on titles, since it is a required part of the topic - Robert -- Can we use conref in the title? - Michael -- Yes, or you can use multiple phrases. Originally it was also required for body, but since body is an optional part of topic now, it is not required. - Don -- Should a design consideration like this be tied in with the content model? - Robert -- Removing them would violate backwards-compatible goal. - Don -- Any discussion? - Michael -- FWIW, the alternative is to allow the filtering attributes, but just accept the fact that processing can fail if people use them incorrectly. Michael thinks it's better to forbid use. - Michael -- But if people are using the atts for flagging, perhaps it's acceptable. But seems strange to flag "body" with an att, while the topic itself is unflagged. - Michael -- Is anyone arguing *against* the proposal? - Robert -- Need to have a full and completed design before it's accepted or not. - Don -- Robert should take it away and do one more pass on it. - Michael -- Sounds OK. - Michael -- Formally moves that Robert update the document based on this discussion. - Seraphim -- seconds. - Approved by acclamation. *ACTION* for Robert Anderson, due for next week. - (Robert's use-case scenarios, above) - http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/download.php/13735/IssueNumber12.html View Details: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/members/action_item.php?action_item_id=1017 Referenced Items Date Name Type ---- ---- ---- 2005-09-06 TC Meeting Minutes 06 September 2005.txtReference Document 2005-09-06 IssueNumber12.html Reference Document PLEASE NOTE: If the above links do not work for you, your email application may be breaking the link into two pieces.
