Status of the various modularization of ITS

    Yves: has somebody worked on that?

    Christian: no

    Felix: no

    Sebastian: have started, running into the namespace problem
    ... during the f2f I will have thought that out, hopefully
    ... if you look at the its tagset wd, it looks like a standalone
    schema
    ... but it describes no mechanism for the integration into a
    different schema

    Yves: has somebody had similar problems?
    ... Damian will tackle open document

    Christian: talks about DITA integration

    Yves: the question is how would you modify a schema to have ITS in
    it?
    ... maybe we should reword the section on modularization

    Andrjez: I heard that "translate" in DITA will be deprecated. I
    would like to help Christian with the DITA stuff
    ... ( talks about DITA and ITS)

    Christian: Could you summarize that info you have about DITA and
    create an action plan for you and me?

    <scribe> ACTION: Andrjez and Christian to follow up on the contact
    to DITA, and see how ITS fits into DITA [recorded in

    Andrjez Diane, are you taking an active part in the DITA TC

    Diane no, I have not been envolved in DITA

    Yves: I sent mails to various working groups about the wd

    <Andrjez> Looks like my connection has gone again

    Christian: Are there other groups which should be covered? E.g.
    XLIFF?

    Yves: How about OASIS as a whole, because they have various XML
    formats?

    <scribe> ACTION: Yves to contact OASIS to get feedback on ITS
    [recorded in
    [29]http://www.w3.org/2005/11/23-i18n-minutes.html#action11]

    Sebastian: How about DocBook people? I sent a mail to Norm about ITS
    ... Robin Cover will pick ITS up, hopefully

    Yves: How about open source community? Damian will tackle open doc

    Christian: Do we have presentation material that describes the WD?

    Felix: so far there are no presentations on ITS

    Christian: I would like to get feedback on ITS from colleagues

    Sebastian: I would like to have a directory to put test files

    <scribe> ACTION: felix to create a directory for ITS test files
    (e.g. its/testfiles) for now one account for Sebastian [recorded in

Data category discussion

    Yves: can we solve that issue maybe here?

    Felix: I was just wondering what Christian ment about data
    categories during his comments on the tagset wd

    Christian: I'm happy with the working draft now as it is. Maybe a
    paragraph in the spec

    <scribe> ACTION: Christian and Felix to create a paragraph on the
    data categories and the relation to realizations [recorded in
    [31]http://www.w3.org/2005/11/23-i18n-minutes.html#action13]

    Felix: if everybody is fine with that, we could drop the topic of
    data categories from the f2f agenda

    techniques document until the end of the week [recorded in

    Yves: I start to work on the doc as soon as I get the template
