basic proposal /summary of where we are for symbol

Hi folks





basic proposal /summary of were we are: 

We seem to agree on using bic number as  the standard reference mechanism for each concept common in symbols . 



for example

data-symbol ="10230"



A standard reference mechanism could be the number user by bliss or the common term for the concept for very commen concepts. This is like using a number for the color in CSS but you can also say "green" or another term for a limited set of very common colours.  We could include the most common x term now or leave that to a separate module.

Follow on proposals:

If we are agreeing on the basic concept of using the bic numbers



1. Items that speed up the authoring process and make it more scalable can be moved to a seprate module. this could  included:

terms (or more terms) that replace very common concepts

a way to associate new symbol(s) with the reference mechanism in a mapping file (phase 2 for scalability for authors if the content provider is using their own symbols?) 

a way to reference a mapping file to use in the content (phase 2 for scalability for authors if the content provider is using their own symbols?)


2. Are we happy with the term data-symbol (I get the impression that we are) Could data-symbol merge this with data-action ? 



3. we also have to check any patent issues involved with bliss.

All the best
