Hi Micha,

Many thanks for the feedback.

I'm too fond of copy/paste... Fixed.

I assume you mean why the attributes are not green links? Good question. I'm not sure. They are defined in the markup section and they have their <att> elements in the ODD. I'm sure I'm missing something and Felix or Jirka will, no doubt, enlighten us very soon on what it is.

The global *Pointer attributes are used to allow mapping attributes or elements in non-ITS formats that have the same semantic, so they can be used instead of the ITS native vocabulary and ITS processors can still understand them.

Some data categories don't have them because the information they carry is simple enough to be mapped using a simple rule. For example translate of HTML can be map as:

<its:translateRule selector="//*[@html:translate='yes']" translate='yes'/>

I don't know of any format that provide the same semantics as LQP's, but future formats may find it easier to define their own markup to implement the data category, thus defining the pointers now covers those cases.

At some point it might be a good idea to review all data categories for consistency on this.


> And why are these pointers not supported in the local definition?

Because the idea is that mapping is done at the vocabulary level. If HTML's translate='yes' equals its:translate='yes', it always does. So it can be declared once globally and is not needed locally.


Thanks,
