------------------------------------------------------- OASIS DITA Technical Committee Minutes Tuesday, 14 July 2009 ------------------------------------------------------- Minutes recorded by Kristen James Eberlein. 1. ROLL CALL Present: Paul Grosso, Kristen Eberlein, Gershon Joseph, Rob Frankland, JoAnn Hackos, Elliot Kimber, Chris Kravogel, Seth Park, Su-Laine Yeo, Robert Anderson, Bruce Nevin, Michael Priestley, Darryl Tewes, Dana Spradley Quorum is present. 2. APPROVE MINUTES FROM PREVIOUS MEETING * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200907/msg00077.html (Park, 7 July 2009) (Seth Park, 7 July 2009) Motion made to approve minutes; seconded by Bruce Nevin; motion carried by acclamation. 3. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS * OASIS Machine Industry Subcommittee Chris Kravogel reported on current work of the subcommittee. The SC is meeting every two weeks and meeting on proposals for DITA 1.3: * Technical data: Bases values and tolerances. Has a test DTD. * Filtering attributes and conditional processing: More generic solution that currently exists, which SC thinks is SW-centric * Troubleshooting and diagnostics * Spare parts 4. ANNOUNCEMENT Robert Anderson has uploaded new DTDs; waiting for Eric Sirois to upload new version of schemas. 5. ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATION: Overall review and Jim Early's review assignments Officially closed review on June 30. Gershon sent out a request for new reviewers to replace Jim Earley; 4-5 people responded. We now have reviewers for all topics, although some specialization topics have only one assigned reviewer. Because of the new reviewers, we need to revise deadlines. 6. ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATION: conref.dita Seth Park posed several questions about the conref file on the e-mail list: * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200907/msg00102.html (Park) * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200907/msg00104.html (last in thread) Michael Priestley clarified the issue. 7. ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATION: Archspec "linking" section Seth Park posed questions about linking on the e-mail list: * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200907/msg00106.html (Park) * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200907/msg00108.html (Priestley) Seth is proposing covering the material in three topics: 1. ID attribute and its different roles 2. Linking 3. Implications of when a link is established, with related links to topics on conref, keyref, href Michael Priestley asked for additional clarification about the third suggested topic. Seth: Referencing. I am thinking of linking and referencing as two different things. You establish a link and the behavior of the link is contingent on a whole range of things: the element that contains the link, the attribute that provides the link, the configuration of conaction if you are using conref, the keyref mechanism. These are behaviours of the reference once the link is established. Michael: I tend to think of linking and referencing as synonomous, except linking often is interpreted as explicithypertext linking -- behaviour rather than pure reference. Can see separating material into: 1. IDs 2. How to reference IDs, including syntax 3. Processing implications (content reuse versus hyperlinking) Gershon suggested that Seth ping Nancy Harrison about whether she would like help about making these changes. Kris requested that these discussions get recorded on the Wiki pages. 8. ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATION: Conformance and interoperability * http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/200907/msg00079.html (last in thread) * http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/200907/msg00080.html (DocBook definition) Discussion ensued about vocabulary, focusing on the current use of "design patterns". Several alternatives were proposed and discussed: * syntactical and organizational requirements * implementation pattern * design specification * template * modularization design specification * implementation specification or implementation requirement Eventually an agreement to use the term "coding specification" emerged. 9. ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATION: Conformance statement * Draft of conformance info: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/200803/msg00028.html * PDF of conformance info: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/download.php/27616/conformance1.2-jcoV2.pdf The statement should be in the next draft. People should discuss the statement on the e-mail list; it should be on the agenda for next week. Action (14 July 2009) --------------------- Kris Eberlein to upload the DITA file for the conformance statement to Subversion and send it to the list for comments. 9. ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATION: Deadlines Gershon suggested moving the schedule out two weeks. JoAnn Hackos and Kris Eberlein expressed a concern that the revised deadlines need to be workable for the Technical Content, Machine Industry, and Learning & Training material for the architectural spec. Chris Kravogel asked where the Machine Industry material would go; Kris Eberlein stated that she had assumed (based on last week's minutes) that the Machine Industry material be part of the Technical Content documentation. Chris Kravogel stated that he thought that made sense. Gershon decided to move the deadline discussion offline. JoAnn Hackos suggested scheduling a meeting to discuss Technical Content and Learning & Training content. 10. MEANINGFUL VALUES FOR TYPE= ON XREF AND TOPICREF Gershon suggested: * Moving the @type syntax to DITA 1.3 * Cleaning up the current @type description in the DITA 1.2 specification Agreed Action (14 July 2009) --------------------- 1) Gershon Joseph to add this item (Meaningful Values for type= on xref and topicref) to the DITA 1.3 Wiki page 2) Elliot Kimber to suggest changes to the Language Reference, based on the "Meaningful Values for type= on xref and topicref" discussion. Meeting adjourned. -- Kristen Eberlein The document named DITA TC minutes, 14 July 2009 (DITA_TC_meeting_14_July__2009.txt) has been submitted by Kristen Eberlein to the OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC document repository.
