RE: [dita] 12026 Specialize glossary entry and definition elements

["Ogden, Jeff" <jogden@ptc.com>]

I was wondering if this should be an extension of the existing glossary topic rather than a new specialization?  Or perhaps that is what is planned and I just didn’t follow the description correctly.

Hi, Paul:

The original design for the glossary specialization includes optional elements for linguistic concerns (the part of speech, etc) and semantic concerns (the scope of the sense, etc). We simplified to cover only publishing concerns in support of book enablement for DITA 1.1; however, that was with the expectation that we would revisit the ancillary concerns in DITA 1.2 so that adopters who need to manage those aspects of their content vocabulary can but others don't have to.


Hoping that clarifies,
