Subject: RE: [xliff] The Terminology data category
Hi Felix, >> Should we forbid or allow ref and value to co-exist for >> an ITS Term annotation in XLIFF? > > How is the interpretation of term annotation in XLIFF that includes > both ref and and value? Are both concatenated? The ref attribute holds a reference to information on the term, while value holds a short definition. http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.0/xliff-core-v2.0.html#termAnnotation There are no provision to make them explicitly work together, it's simply not forbidden to have both. > If yes, one could say: when mapping back to the original file, > combine the information and create in the original file a place > for the information. I suppose that could work. But you'd be losing data: the reference link (well I suppose it could be copied in the info too, but it would not be 'live'). So we would recommend to map back to a global rule (much harder to do). Maybe 'recommend' is wrong, it could be a note suggesting one way to solve the issue. So does it means you think we should allow ref and value to co-exist even for ITS-specific term annotation? How would you express that in the ITS rule set for pure-ITS processor? Cheers, -yves
