Re: slides for Melby presentation today at FEISGILTT

Alan, thanks for offering to help.

I cced you just to give you visibility on the XLIFF TC developments wrt the mapping, not trying to enlist your immediate help..

I think that if all goes well we will set up today a 7 day electronic ballot to have or not the feature.

Even if it flies, I can go a long way with just the proposed mapping as is.

I expect to consult you and James throughout November and December, as we want to have a Committee Specification Draft ready for public reviews by Xmas.

We foresee the first public review to start in January after everyone returns from vacations

It might be a good idea if you and James subscribed to the xliff comment list and the xliff user list.

Even better, as BYU is OASIS member, you could join the commitee at least temporarily as long the the TBX mapping is being specified.

XLIFF comment list "agreement" exposes you to OASIS IPR and allows us to work with your input to the spec as covered by OASIS feedback policy.

Cheers

Dr. David Filip

Hello David and others on the XLIFF team,

I am in Chicago with limited Internet access due to an incompatibility between my laptop and the hotel Internet. I am on a public computer in the cafe for a few minutes. And about to run an all day meeting.

So briefly, thanks for the productive FEISGILTT last week in Vancouver. What exactly, do you need from James and me this week to move forward with the informative mapping between XLIFF Glossary and TBX-Basic in XLIFF 2.1?

James (still in Provo) and I have a lot of prep work for the translator certification exam Saturday for which we are providing the software. Anything on XLIFF-TBX that can be delayed until next week? That would be helpful.

Thanks,

AKM

Dear all,

the attached slides are joint work done between LRC and Alan Melby's translation research group at BYU. The slides and mapping have been elaborated by Alan's assistant James Hayes.

This was presented by Alan and found worthy by the participants of the 5.5 XLIFF Symposium last week in Vancouver.

It basically shows that a bidirectional lossless mapping between XLIFF 2.0 core + gls and TBX basic is possible and relevant for a number industry use cases.

The proposal is to make
[TBX basic] <-> [XLIFF 2.0 including gls module] mapping an XLIFF 2.1 feature.

The mapping should be described in an Appendix similar to the ITS support appendix we are working on for the the ITS mapping. Unlike the ITS mapping the TBX basic mapping does not seem to require an extra namespace or module.
That's also why we think it is feasible to add this feature to 2.1 and not waiting for 2.2.

The current thinking is that the Appendix be informative from the XLIFF point of view but the TBX Steering Commitee at LTAC http://www.ltacglobal.org/ who should be in charge of developing freely available TBX based industry specifications can and will make normative references to the mapping.
Alan Melby and Hanne Smaadahl who are on the LTAC committee and ISO TC 37 are on CC.

Thanks and regards
dF
