DITA Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 5 September 2006 (Recorded by Gershon Joseph <gershon@tech-tav.com>) The DITA Technical Committee met on Tuesday, 5 September 2006 at 08:00am PT for 45 minutes. 1. Roll call We have quorum. 2. Approve minutes from previous meeting. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200608/msg00133.html (22 August) Accepted by acclamation (moved by Don, seconded by Michael) * Note: Last week's meeting did not have quorum, therefore was not a regular business meeting. Minutes for the discussion are at: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200608/msg00140.html 3. Business: 1. ITEM: vote on updated indexing proposal (Michael Priestley) * http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/Indexing_issue_summary (proposal) Michael moves to accept the amendment (section "Proposal for index ranges as of 2006/09/05" in the above document. Paul G seconds. Text copied here so it's recorded: Index entries are interpreted as point references. The index contains a reference to the point where the index entry is declared. If an index entry occurs in a topic prolog, the reference is to the start of the title of the topic. Index ranges are structural. Most index range declarations refer to an entire topic or set of topics. The only exception is a range contained entirely within the body of a topic. The start of a range is indicated with an indexterm with a start attribute. The end of a range is indicated with an indexterm with an end attribute with a matching value, and with no content of its own. Index range indications may occur in the topicmeta of a topicref at the map level, in the prolog of a topic, or in the body of a topic, and are interpreted as follows: * In a map, the start range points to the topic title of the topic being referenced by its containing topicref. The end range points to the end of the final child contained by the topic being referenced by its containing topicref. When a start and end range occur in the same topicmeta, the range applies to the containing topicref and its children. * In a prolog, the start range points to the containing topic's title. The range ends with a matching index range end in the same prolog, or the end of the prolog, whichever comes first. The range applies to the containing topic and all its children, including child relationships defined in a map. * In a body, the start range points to whichever point the indexterm occurs. The index range ends at a matching index range end indication within the same body, or at the end of the body, whichever comes first. Such an index range does not span sub-topics of the topic. When index ranges with the same identifier overlap (for example, a body-level range for "pecorino" occurs within a map-level cross-topic range for "pecorino") the widest range applies, and end ranges are matched with start ranges by last-in-first-out. In other words, the ranges are interpreted as nested rather than overlapping, with the highest-level container taking precedence over narrower contained ranges. The start and end attributes are defined as CDATA, and should contain matching strings. The strings should not contain blank spaces. The start and end attributes should be considered valid only on indexterm elements that have no child indexterm elements. 2. ITEM: Request for SC approval: DITA for machine industry (Chris Kravogel) * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200608/msg00141.html (materials for approval) Chris presented the purpose of the SC. Discussions... Don moves to accept the proposal for a machine industry sub-committee based on the materials Chris provided. Michael seconds. No objections. DECISION to form Machine industry subcommittee. 3. ITEM: TC response to new OASIS discussion List, Unstructured Operation Markup * email to Members by Jamie Bryce Clark, 8/11/2006 * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200608/msg00003.html ACTION: Don to respond to Jamie stating we have no objections to this new committee. 4. ITEM: Translation SC: Indexing best practices * http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita-translation/download.php/19985/Best%20Practice%20for%20Indexing%20DITA%20topics.doc CONTINUED. Discussion deferred to next week. ACTION: Gershon to discuss Paul G's feedback at next week's Translation SC meeting. 5. Request: Need a volunteer interested in a visible accomplishment to help come up with DITA processing that imitates the style of the OASIS templates at http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/. Anyone who can help on this task please contact Gershon directly. 4. Announcements/Opens Chris K asked when we expect to have DITA 1.1 approved. Currently looks like it'll be pushed out into early 2007. Our official position is for release in Q1 2007. Discussed update of drafts with index and other updates. -- Meeting adjourned at 08:45 --
