Subject: Segmentation as core or not
Hi all, To continue on the discussion whether the "segmentation" feature is core or not: I think Dave has an obviously valid point when saying that segmentation is not necessarily done at the time of the extraction, and therefore we could have un-segmented XLIFF. But to me a "segment" is not necessarily the result of a segmentation process it can be a "block" extracted from the original format (as our definition states: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/OneContentModel#Definitions.2BAC8-Terminology). So each un-segmented entry is, by nature a segment, that simply contains potentially several sentences. Maybe things would more clear if we think about the element <segment> as a "part" rather than a "segment"? The Segmentation representation addresses how to organize and manipulate such parts. <unit id='1'> <part> <source>Sentence one. Sentence two.</source> </part> </unit> <unit id='1'> <part> <source>Sentence one. </source> </part> <part> <source> Sentence two.</source> </part> </unit> Maybe, viewed from that angle it's more clear that such element needs to be part of the core? Cheers, -ys
