Thanks for the quick update Arle.
I have one comment on this attribute:
'translation-quality-stage' : Permissible values = picklist...
I don't believe the picklist should be enforced as this implies a workflow. For instance what happens if I have 2 'review' stages in my workflow. (E.g. linguistic then legal, or Automated then Human, or LSP then Customer etc). Same applies for translation stage (E.g. MT then post -edit). If the picklist doesn't map to every conceivable workflow stage in every conceivable workflow, then this field runs the risk of containing erroneous state information which if consumed incorrectly may lead to further workflow or routing problems.
One solution may be to define permissible values for this field as part of the definition referenced by the 'its-translation-quality-profile'. However that adds a great deal of implementation complexity which I (and I would guess any implementers) am not keen on.
So my preference here would be to leave the field as arbitrary text, or make the picklist values non-mandatory, and allow user-defined values
Thanks
Des

Subject: [ISSUE-34]: Revised description and example
Hi all,
Based on the feedback from Des and Felix about the naming convention, here is a revised description table and example.
-Arle
DESCRIPTIONS
Attribute name
Description
Permissible values
Notes
Definite attributes (these ones are well established)
its-translation-quality-profile
Pointer to a description of the quality assessment model in use, with a description of the categories
URI
Potentially we might need a way to map a qname used elsewhere to a specific profile, but discussion between Arle, Yves, and Phil felt that a single its-translation-quality-profile per document was probably sufficient
its-translation-quality-score
The score value generated by a quality assessment process
integer value from 0 to 100. Higher values equal better scores.
Users would need to normalize internal scores to match this system upon generation and convert these scores to match their own internal system upon consumption.
its-translation-quality-type
top-level quality type, as defined in the specification
picklist value (see previous mails)
ITS 2.0-compliant tools that use these categories would need to map their internal values to these types
its-translation-quality-code
At internal classification code for a quality issue as produced by the generating tool
qname + text
If we only allow one profile for document, we might be able to drop the qname portion and infer the data based on the its-translation-quality-profile attribute.
its-translation-quality-comment
A human-readable description of the quality issue
text
Use of its-translation-quality-comment would be strongly recommended in any cases where the value of other is used for its-translation-quality-type.
its-translation-quality-severity
A numerical value representing the severity of the issue, as defined by the model generating the metadata
number from 0 to 1 with up to two decimal places, with higher values equaling greater severity
It is up to tools to map the numerical values of this to their own system. We can provide some informative guidelines for how this is to be done based on internal severity systems.
Potential attributes (we are less certain on these)
its-translation-quality-stage
A value to indicate the status of a particular issue in a review workflow
Picklist, consisting of:
translated|
reviewed|
rebuttal|
agreed
The precise meaning of these values remains to be defined
its-translation-quality-threshold
A value which defines a passing score for its-translation-quality-score
integer value from 0 to 100.
A value of its-translation-quality-score greater than or equal to the value of its-translation-quality-threshold is deemed to have passed the quality assessment process.
It may make sense to leave this as part of the description referred to in its-translation-quality-profile, but having it here would allow processes to automate actions based on whether the file passes or not.
its-translation-quality-agent
An identifier for the agent that produced the quality results
??? Perhaps a picklist with humanand machine as values
Needs better definition

The rendering is the same, so I'm not including it again.
