Re: Update to MQM documentation and one question

Arle

I'm happy to join a call.

I agree with the principles that what is at the end of a profileRef should 
be well-defined (self-describing) and machine readable. Your example looks 
clear to me. We are not saying that this is the only format though, right?

Hi all,

Further to our discussions about MQM and ITS, I have proposed a 
preliminary XML schema for representing MQM metrics. It is pretty 
straight-forward and I have put in some internal commenting to explain it:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/223919/qtlaunchpad/mqmMetric.xsd

I have also created a sample metrics definition file containing the ITS 
2.0 types plus one user-defined issue type (just to show how MQM can be 
extended as needed):

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/223919/qtlaunchpad/sampleMetric.xml

I put these out as a starting point for a discussion about how to better 
integrate MQM and ITS 2.0 at the formal level. As you will see in the 
schema, I have changed the MQM token names to conform to ITS 2.0 
locQualityIssueType values where this can be done. It shows the default 
mapping between the (full) MQM set and ITS 2.0 issue types. It also shows 
those values that are more (or less) granular than ITS 2.0 in a separate 
section. The mapping for those values is not shown.

I think the next step may be to have a call with interested parties (Yves 
and Phil, I'm hoping you are interested, so I'm adding you to this mail) 
to discuss what makes sense and how best to ensure that there is an easy 
path from existing ITS 2.0 support to MQM support. I hope that this sort 
of formal representation will help in that discussion by giving a more 
concrete form to the discussion.

Felix, feel free to schedule some time in an upcoming ITS Interest Group 
meeting when it is appropriate.

Best,

Arle
