My comment about Vasont is not quite correct.
In the CCMS interface, the component or object name appears. This name is also used to display the topic name in maps. The CCMS has options to display the navtitle,
but it is not displayed by default. The component name may or may not be the topic title.

Initial discussion
Issue 16: titlealts improvements
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201812/msg00016.html (Nitchie, 17 December 2018)
Chris gave overview; the original requirement was to add alternate titles to maps. Since bookmap plays games with titles, and defines all the various alternate titles as specializations of 'ph', whenever a processor needs to display a map title, it has to figure
out what it is. Since topics already have titlealts, I thought that would be good to add to maps as well. Someone suggested also allowing titlealts to topicrefs as well; the proposal tries to allow for alternate titles to both maps and topics in a consictent
way. Navtitle and searchtitle would become specializations of a new titlealt element; titlllealt would be child of titlealts.
The proposal suggests making titlealt info in a map take precedence over actual topic titles by default. User can specify a series of titlealt elements under parent titlealts. Proposal would make it easier for new users of DITA, but will impose a fairly heavy
cost to migrators, which will make it somewhat controversial.
- Eliot; changing the navtitle/locktitle behavior would be a 'service to the world'; it will benefit everyone in long run.
- Robert; I'm worried about the migration cost, but it would make DITA much more intuitive to new users.
- Eliot; and the migration is fairly straightforward.
- Robert; yes, we're already doing away with @locktitle, so there's not a big additional migration cost, but there would be a big mental adjustment for authors.
- Kris; as a side question; does anyone have data on how many editors actually retrieve titles directly from topic? I know Oxygen does, and so does SDL's CMS.
- Chris; Arbortext does not; puts it into navtitle.
- Kris; Ixiasoft strips off navtitle @s by default; it's an interesting question.
- Bill; I think Xmetal generates a navtitle from title.
- Kris; right, that wasn't the case in earlier releases, but it is now.
- Deb; Vasont just applies navtitle.
- Kris; i will be doing reviews of CMS's for Simple A; if anyone thinks of useful questions, just let me know.
7. dita-comment list
Multiple examples in a strict task
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-comment/201812/msg00002.html (Wurst, Wolf-Dieter, 17 December 2018)
Kris; I will respond to this
***ActionItem: Kris will respond to this comment.
8. New item: learningAggregationsTopicrefConstraintMod.xsd: to be or not to be?
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201812/msg00014.html (Magliery, 13 December 2018)
- Kris; Tom noticed this. There's a discrepancy between the files in Errata .01 and .02; we could add this to a list of errata .03 items, though I really don't want to have an errata .03, or we can fix it in 2.0.
- Eliot; it's not worth an .03, but I'll look into it.
***ActionItem: Eliot will look into this.
- Kris; the only reason to do another errata to 1.3 would be for something earthshaking.
11:28 am ET close
