RE: [terminology resource] expand this category?

Hi Arle,

 

No objection, but my usual remark: the values for ‘format’ would need to be standardized. If it’s a format then maybe a MIME type could be used.

 

Cheers,

Subject: [terminology resource] expand this category?

 

At present terminology resource is used to identify an (external) terminology resource. Could we expand this to become a language resource category? After all, a terminology resource is one type of language resource and at present we do not have a category to specify that the process should use a certain MT corpus or TM repository, so what if we change this to the following model:

 

languageResource

Identifies the appropriate language resources to be used for translation or other language-related tasks

 

data model

•           type: (terminology|corpus|TM){1,1}

•           location: uri of resource{1,1}

•           format: text string identifying the format (e.g., "Multiterm", "TBX", "TMX"){1,1}

•           id: id value used to bind other metadata to this item.{1,1}

•           description: text description {0,1}

 

Any objection to generalizing this?
