Subject: RE: [election-services-comment] Internationalization of 630-optionslist
David, No confusion whatsoever here. The same principles and approach possible and illustrated in the 410 example apply to the 630. The whole point of declaring things in the 630 is so they can be referenced and used in the 410, 510, 520. The EML core definitions apply across the whole also via the includes. The 630 can contain declarations for each language and then those specific Id references are used for 410 ballot(s) either for one language or multiples as ballot selection items.

Furthermore, we can't see no internationalization in the 410 example you suggest as there's only one language in all the file and no locales are specified anywhere. But anyway, as you say in the "1- Executive Summary" in document "EML- Process-Data-Requirements" that one of the goals of EML is to be multilingual, wouldn't it be better and easier if all elements susceptible to be presented to some human were of type Messages? Here we reproduce the proposal for internationalizing 630 in our last message. What do you think about it? In the ProposalStructure we suggest to use the new ReferendumOption structure instead of ReferendumOptionIdentifier. Note that the ReferendumOption encloses a sequence of ReferendumOptionIdentifier and Messages (which can accommodate the internationalization). This is what would be added to emlcore.xsd: <xs:element name="ReferendumOption" type="ReferendumOptionStructure"/> <xs:complexType name="ReferendumOptionStructure"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="ReferendumOptionIdentifier" /> <xs:element name="Messages" type="MessagesStructure"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> And to make the change effective, this line from ProposalStructure <xs:element ref="ReferendumOptionIdentifier" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> should be changed to this one: <xs:element ref="ReferendumOption" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> Also note that the ReferendumOptionIdentifier is now optional (minOccurs="0") to allow questions that don't have any specified answer, i.e. open text questions in the referendum. Any comments are welcome. Regards, -- David Mas Santaló, Senior Software Engineer e-mail: david.mas@scytl.com phone: +34 934 230 324 fax: +34 933 251 028 Scytl Secure Electronic Voting C.
