Re: [quomos] Simplified and Traditional Chinese draft versions of the OASIS QUOMOS Charter

[Peter Yim <peter.yim@cim3.com>]

Thank you very much for all the work in translating the OASIS QUOMOS TC Charter. 

It all you work (... I only chimed in on half-a line out of the more than 220 lines of translation work you did)! And even that, I would need to consult with Howard, Pat, David and others to make sure I gave you the correct interpretation. The recap of our earlier exchange below presents the question Forest was posing, and my response ...

Hi Forest,


Nice! ... While I am not in a position to provide a review for your translation, I want to commend you on the effort. 

Ref.

//
Later
ontology modules may include basic concepts for measurements and
uncertainties, and for quantity specifications and tolerances. While
all applications of quantities are one or the other of these, these
disciplines are more complex and may have industry-specific
characteristics.
//

On the statement: "While
all applications of quantities are one or the other of these" on which
you are having a issue, I would interpret that as saying ...

 
All applications will be choosing one of the two ontology modules --
the one that comprises (a) concepts for measurements and uncertainties,
or (b) concepts for quantity specifications and tolerances. However,
since these two modules are more complex, and may have
industry-specific characteristics, they will not be part of the initial
set of deliverables (but would be developed later.)

Let's ask Howard, Pat, David or the others if I did get it right.

...  If that is indeed the correct interpretation, your might say, 量的所有應用乃是這两組基本概念當中選用其一 (or something to that effect.)

I
suggest you post send this in as a draft to the QUOMOS TC (we could
discuss at our meeting next Monday how this could/should be done) so
other can review it too.

Peter,

I
translated the OASIS QUOMOS Charter into Simplified Chinese. And it was
automatically converted into a Traditional Chinese version. Maybe these
versions could be used to facilitate the understanding of the Charter.
However, there is a sentence I don't exactly understand yet. Would you
mind helping me? The following is the sentence which was also
highlighted in both the Word documents:
......量的所有應用乃是這些本體模組當中的一個或另一個（…While all applications of quantities are one or the other of these,…）......

Thanks.

 

Best Regards,
Sincerely,

Here I should thank Peter for his help.
