SSML i18n workshop report (by Richard)

   Richard: not much left to say

   Francois: nothing ground breaking?

   Richard: the composite message scenario for SSML?
   ... we thought about SSML in two contexts:
   ... handcrafting a text, putting things into it, then an SSML
   processor works with it
   ... that scenario is e.g. for a telephone prompt
   ... a different scenario might be a news read
   ... where you read news e.g. for a data base
   ... in that case you will not do any special tweaks of low level
   attributes / elements
   ... at the SSML workshop, there was a third scenario: you get some
   information from the DB
   ... e.g. you get the date from the DB in "the date is ..."
   ... or "the total number of pages printed is ..."
   ... if you say "we printed seven pages"
   ... that would be difficult for languages with high inflection
   ... all the rules on composite messages I wrote recently in an
   article apply in that case
   ... we have to see what the implemencations will be

   Francois: interesting. Is there an allowance for variables in SSML?

   Richard: that is up to you, SSML has no specific facility for that
   ... but some Greek people did that

   Francois: so the SSML processor gets just plain SSML, but a
   different processor does the rest?

   Richard: yes
   ... e.g. you could use the say-as element
   ... you can have that as part of a template for your sentence
   ... but that would not be so easy with e.g. news feeds, because you
   first would need to identify e.g. ordinal numbers

   Francois: any conclusion for the workshop?

   Richard: we gathered requirements
   ... there will be a summary
   ... there might be another workshop
   ... these guys are kean on i18n
   ... they want more people more Indian e.g.

   Felix: would ITS be a place to describe such constraints as with the
   variable stuff?

   Richard: don't know, maybe in ITS

Workshop in India

   Richard: on the 2nd and 3rd of August
   ... a workshop with strong interest in speech
   ... maybe people from the voice browser wg
   ... Felix might be able to participate as well

   Felix: I will make that clear ASAP

   Francois: organized by the Indian office?

   Richard: yes

   Richard: I already got a response from Martin, he felt he could deal
   with this
   ... I don't think there is s.t. specific at this time, Steven just
   wants somebody to talk to

   Martins mail:

compound doc issue

   Richard: accessibility people have raised the same issue as we did
   about compound documents

   Francois: We tried, CDF refused

   Felix: coming from an ITS perspective and the problems we have with
   the conref mechanism, I tend to agree with the CDF people

   Richard: people might want to use this stuff

   Francois: CDF people say the stuff would be like standalone
   ... I am still worried that people create compound documents with
   images

   Richard: we should get it in the i18n BP document

   Felix: Yves said he will take care of that

   Richard: we talk about documents included by reference
   ... if the SVG is included in the HTML file, what do we say?

   Francois: in that case, the xml:lang will apply
   ... from the case of accessibility, we could say "we tried with CDF,
   they pushed back"
   ... accessiblity might be stronger

   Richard: but the same theory applies
   ... if we agree with CDF, we should go back to accessibility like
   that as well
   ... and people should be educated
   ... to use language information in every included piece

   <scribe> ACTION: Richard to reply to accessibility people about CDF
   issue [recorded in
   [28]http://www.w3.org/2006/06/13-i18ncore-minutes.html#action09]

   Richard: we should also say:

   <r12a> that the referenced document would be handled as if it were
   read on its own

two possible approaches to LTLI

   Francois: Did Mark make some recommendations?

   Felix: he proposed to built locale identifiers on top of RFC 3066bis

   Francois: I think that matches current practice more closlely than
   the other solution (i.e. having locale and language totally
   separated)

   Richard: what are we dealing with here? E.g. collations?

   Francois: what a locale is depends very much on the application area

   Felix: what notion fits to ws i18n?

   Mary: depends also on application

   discussion on various notions of locale

rechartering preparation - any news?

   Richard: no news yet.

other business?

   Francois: not here next week

   Richard: let's have a call
   ... at some time, we should go through some concepts of RFC 3066bis

   Francois: please tackle ITS if possible next week

   Mary: will do
