[xliff] suggestions for additional values

["Lieske, Christian" <christian.lieske@sap.com>]

Title: Message

Hi there,

 

Here a couple of additional values I would like to suggest/discuss.

 

Best,

Christian

---

1. For 'count-typeValueListStd'

 

1.1 idBasedMatch

1.2 noMatch

1.3 repetition

1.4 noOfUsages

 

Remark: I guess 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 will be handy since they will allow

us to capture more of the information that is provided by many

Translation Memory tools. 1.4 is meant to say: 'This is an item that

is used x times in a certain context; example: this is a reusable text unit

which is used 42 times in other texts'.

 

2. For 'mtypeValueListStd'

 

2.1 part of list from ISO 12620 (6.3 data categories -> 2.1.1 term type)

 

Remark: We currently have values like 'abbrev' to assign a type to a

marked text. The portion of ISO 12620 which I am referring to has a very

comprehensive list of types for certain kinds of texts (namely terms).

It includes:

 

main entry term, synonym, quasi-synonym, international scientific term,

common name, internationalism, full form, abbreviated form of term,

abbreviation, short form of term, initialism, acronym, clipped term,

variant, transliterated form, transcribed form, romanized form, symbol,

formula, equation, logical expression, stock keeping unit, part number,

phraseological unit, collocation, set phrase, synonymous phrase,

standard text

 

2..2 part of built-in datatypes from XML schema (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#built-in-datatypes)

 

Remark: We currently have values like 'datetime'. The portion of the definition

for XML schema which I am referring to includes additional ones (such a 'gYear').

This enables statements such as: 'The stretch of text "12" does designate a year.'

 

3. For 'restypeValueListStd'

 

3.1 list for XUL (see http://www.xulplanet.com/references/elemref/)

 

4. For 'stateValueListStd'

 

4.1 not executable
4.2 executable
4.3 started
4.4 suspended
4.5 aborted
4.6 preliminary finished
4.7 finished

 

Remark: From my understanding, this already provides many opportunities

for modelling workflows.

 

5. For unitValueListStd

 

character

line

sentence

paragraph

segment

placeable

 

Remark: These are units which are for example counted by many

Translation Memory tools, and word processors.
