RE: [xliff-seg] March-09-2004 Meeting Minutes

["Gerard Cattin des Bois" <gcatt@windows.microsoft.com>]

Here is the beginning of thread on user scenarios for segmentation:

1. XLIFF document as a generic file exchange mechanism. Source binary exported into XLIFF document for localization and imported back with same initial segmentation to build target binary from it.

2. XLIFF document as file container against which business processes operate. The xliff document is processed by one tool, then the document is passed on to the next tool for the next process, etc. The document is not an exchange medium, but a common file format to allow process agnostic tools to operate on the same data. Example: localization directives set and validated by one business process based on the original segmentation of the data, while a recycling process changes the file segmentation to improve translation recycling results.
