roll call

   checking attendance

   <Arle> \msg fsasaki Felix, I may not be able to pay attention
   for the entire call due to some urgent deadlines. If I do not
   respond to something I need to, please send me a Skype ping.
   Sorry about that.

   <Tatiana> Good afternoon and greetings from Latvia! :)

   <Tatiana> Cannot dial in and join you via IRC

   hi Tatiana, still waiting for the call to be started by the
   organizer

   dave: Open Data Management for Public Automated Translation
   Services
   ... felix, I and others were at the LREC conference two weeks
   ago
   ... there was a workshop about infrastructure in language
   technology
   ... some things were academic, but otheres more practical
   ... andrjes Vasilijevs and Hans Uszkoreit talked about what the
   EU is planning to do in terms of concrete services
   ... one service will be automated machine translation
   ... the MLI project is gathering technical requirements for
   machine translation services
   ... I, felix and asun gomez perez talked to these guys after
   the workshop
   ... it seems that so far people have not looked at the data
   management side of things
   ... e.g. how to use open lexical resources
   ... and other items
   ... ITS does not have all solutions for this
   ... but some data categories can help, e.g. Terminology,
   Provenance, maybe even LQI
   ... I, Asun and Felix wrote a document
   ...
   [11]https://www.w3.org/International/its/wiki/Open_Data_Managem
   ent_for_Public_Automated_Translation_Services
   ... with high level requirements
   ... e.g. how to collect parallel texts, how to determin if the
   content has been created by MT etc.
   ... e.g. one use case being annotation of parallel text with
   ITS metdata
   ... we put this up on the ITS IG wiki to see if people have
   feedback
   ... and flesh out technical requirements, but also look into
   other groups like LD4LT and the LIDER project
   ... and then give that feedback to the MLI project
   ... any feedback so far?

     [11] https://www.w3.org/International/its/wiki/Open_Data_Management_for_Public_Automated_Translation_Services

   serge: who is the driver of the MLI project?

   <daveL> [12]http://mli-project.eu/

     [12] http://mli-project.eu/

   dave: DCU is involved, coordinated by INMARK (based in SPAIN),
   various other companies and ELDA
   ... they started just to get going, since the EU had not yet
   announced CEF broadly

   dave: there is a lot of expertise on the language technology
   side of things and how to run e.g. cloud services
   ... there is also a call out to look into interop and standards
   ... it seems to assume that the services will be provided by
   the EU MT service
   ... from an interop point of view it sounds like it may be
   operated by the MT@EU project
   ... from an interop point of view it sounds like a good
   opportunity to promote ITS, linked data things, TBX / TMX as
   well

   <Tatiana> Sorry, was away from keyboard for a few minutes:
   about MLi

   <Tatiana> At the end of June there is a deliverable to be
   submitted by MLi

   dave: andrejs Vasilijevs and Hans Uszkoreit said that the
   project is looking currently for input

   serge: it is critical to include the data component in this

   <Tatiana> MLi deliverable in June will recommend on the pilot
   services

   serge: if the data component has been negleted we need to step
   in, make contributions

   <Tatiana> I believe, there should be a tight collaboration
   between LIDER, MLi, and relevant initiatives within W3C

   <daveL> +1

   +1

   <Tatiana> Dave, yes, MLi now is gathering input from users

   <daveL>
   [15]https://www.w3.org/International/its/wiki/Open_Data_Managem
   ent_for_Public_Automated_Translation_Services

     [15] https://www.w3.org/International/its/wiki/Open_Data_Management_for_Public_Automated_Translation_Services

   felix: we are making the dicussion here in public also to get
   broad input from people not directly involved in MLi

   <Tatiana> Thank you for this link, I will forward it to my
   colleague who is directly involved in the MLi work

   <Tatiana> His task is to collect user requirements

   <daveL> tatiana, what date would be good to aim for to submit
   this as a contribution to MLi after gathering further input,
   e.g. from GALA

   serge: clear, we will contribute, and everybody should, see if
   things are missing etc.

   <Tatiana> If it is OK with the ITS community, this doc might be
   shared with MLi (at Tilde, at least) and kept updating

   <Tatiana> as soos as there is input from the ITS community

   tatiana, sure, that is also why we do this in public - also,
   see dave's question on the timeline for feedback

   christian: about the document you drafted

   <Tatiana> In this way, both parties will be updated

   christian: do you want to give that as a position statement of
   the ITS IG, or of the editors?
   ... that's a different aspect

   serge: good point - should be an ITS IG position

   christian: not necessarly - we need clarity - an IG position or
   compiled by members of the IG

   serge: there is a lot of discussion now about European language
   cloud
   ... if we imagine in the future the European language cloud
   ... that should be the data model for ITS, MQM, industrial
   implementations
   ... that should be coordinated
   ... otherwise we will get a zoo of tools and mess with the data

   dave: to answer christian:
   ... we put this up on the wiki, not proposing that this should
   be an ITS IG position statement
   ... happy to move that elsewhere if that is a conflict or out
   of scope
   ... the scope is broader than ITS, but I thought the ITS group
   is a good place to put it
   ... there is a lot of other people interested in this, also
   outside the ITS IG
   ... so if people want to contribute we can do that and e.g. add
   names of editors
   ... so would you feel happy to host the discussion here

   christian: for me this is the ITS IG
   ... ITS1.0 and 2.0 fit well with automated translation services
   ... so discussions related to automated translation services
   should be mentioned here as well
   ... so bringing this into the group and discussing it here is
   great

   discussion on where this should be discussed - ITS IG seems to
   be a good open forum for this

   christian: if we want to have an official ITS IG statement -
   what would be the procedure ?

   felix: for interest groups there are no formal voting
   procedures

   david: if the IG wants to make collective statements the note
   has to go through the process

   felix explaining the concept of a W3C note

   serge: this group is very active and elaborate, working on ITS
   etc.
   ... if we formulate general terms - how do we see as a group
   the proper implementation of a language cloud, and publish this
   as a note

   felix: a bit afraid that the time is not sufficient to discuss
   and publish a note

   christian: would be helpful to have a more focused link
   ... I see link to MLi project page - but where to find
   background info that is in the doc
   ... is there such a targeted link, or are there workshop notes?

   dave: we can get Andrjes MLi notes, which were fairly general
   ... there is EU information - I can dig out a link about the
   current call from the EU for feedback

   <scribe> ACTION: daveL to find out what the timeline is for
   giving feedback (and felix too) to check if ITS IG would have
   time to produce an official W3C note [recorded in
   [17]http://www.w3.org/2014/06/11-i18nits-minutes.html#action01]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-47 - Find out what the timeline is
   for giving feedback (and felix too) to check if its ig would
   have time to produce an official w3c note [on David Lewis - due
   2014-06-18].

   christian: CEF is a funding scheme from the EU
   ... they will ask to create several infrastructues, one is
   related to public automated translation services
   ... so you suggest to give some input of baseline requirements

   dave: broadly, though I am not sure it will be a public
   procurement process
   ... the preparatory call says: the expection says that the
   MT@EU will be the basis
   ... it won't necessarily a fully public tender

   felix: will schedule another call next week so that we can
   continue this and other topics

CSS attribute selectors

   [18]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its-ig/2014
   Jun/0001.html

     [18] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its-ig/2014Jun/0001.html

   [19]http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-nonelement-1/

     [19] http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-nonelement-1/

   jirka: is there an implementation already using CSS selectors?

   felix: I am aware of bluegriffon IIRC, but that development is
   not moving forward it seems

   jirka: the motivation of the draft is to use CSS selectors with
   ITS
   ... so it needs some implementations
   ... don't remember who originally proposed this, e.g. some
   implementation or a general comment

   <scribe> ACTION: felix to check with Cocomore if they would be
   interested in implementing the CSS attribute selector [recorded
   in
   [20]http://www.w3.org/2014/06/11-i18nits-minutes.html#action02]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-48 - Check with cocomore if they
   would be interested in implementing the css attribute selector
   [on Felix Sasaki - due 2014-06-18].

   <Arle> Sorry, I need to go. Speak to you all later.

   felix: may also be interesting for Logrus
   ... no timeline for the draft - without implementations it just
   will not move forward?

   jirka: right
   ... they won't stop us from working on this due to some
   deadlines

Review of FEISGILTT outcomes

   [21]http://www.localizationworld.com/lwdub2014/feisgiltt/Progra
   m.pdf

     [21] http://www.localizationworld.com/lwdub2014/feisgiltt/Program.pdf

   david: we had a good working event
   ... there will be proceedings published via localization focus
   issue
   ... deadline is end of July for camera ready papers
   ... there was interesting discussions
   ... there was XLIFF symposium and linked data track
   ... most interesting thing was requirement gathering
   ... e.g. doing object model + json serialization for XLIFF
   ... that was nicely aligned with requirements on future of ITS
   that was discussed in Marid, MLW WS
   ... we also discussed ITS mapping into XLIFF
   ... there was some discussion of XLIFF module dependencies
   ... ITS support can be in several modules, since the support
   will be in several categories

   <Tatiana> Have to leave already, sorry! Talk to you later and
   looking forward to reading the minutes. Bye! :)

   david: once the have ITS on the XLIFF TC agenda we can discuss
   details

   felix: we can discuss this next week again if that makes sense

   david: about the linked data topic:
   ... several people said that licensing of linked data is an
   important topic is important

   dave: also, several people said not so much publishing of
   linked data but modeling with linked data is important
   ... as we discussed via mail with Arle about MQM mappings
   ... RDF modeling works well to build broad consensus and have
   specializations in sub classes etc.
   ... need to move forward with people who don't have much
   experience with writing ontologies
   ... other important point is API discussion
   ... also looking into JSON-LD for the payload
   ... that relates to XLIFF / API discussion as well
   ... people said: a data model is great - but to use it you will
   need an API as well
   ... for different use cases, like in HTML5

   david: people from XLIFF community got really interested in
   linked data agenda
   ... which was good
   ... was successful in bringing together the two communities and
   detecting themes and topics

   dave: discussion and feedback went really well
   ... me and felix are writing up some notes on this as well

aob

   will have another call next week, same time, to discuss at
   least three topics: ITS/MQM, Open Data Management for Public
   Automated Translation Services, and ITS/XLIFF
