RE: ISSUE-72: Provenance Data Category - same for locQualityIssue?

Hi Felix, all,

 

Yes Felix you have a point perhaps global rules are not that useful, but
anyway Test Suite's example provenance5html.html for instance seems very
valid to me (said sentence would mean modifying the Test Suite examples, I
can do it if this goes forward).

 

Any other thought on this?

 

Cheers,

Pablo.

Hi Felix,

 

It's perfect thank you! I think that Dave will agree too.

 

And just one question related to Provenance.

The sentence:

The attribute provenanceRecordsRefPointer does not apply to HTML as local
markup is provided for direct annotation in HTML. Because that information
is the only one in the provRule element, the global rule does not apply to
HTML.

Seems a little confusing to me, like you cannot use global rules with HTML,
but it's just a thought, what do you (everybody) think?


In HTML you have the local "its-provenance-records-ref" attribute to refer
to standoff, see e.g.
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#E
X-provenance-html5-local-2
The use case for provenance global rules is then there is no local markup
for standoff available, like in
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#E
X-provenance-global-1
since HTML has the local "its-provenance-records-ref" markup, there is no
use case for HTML provenance global rules.

Does this make sense?

Best,

Felix




 

Cheers,

Pablo.

Hi,

 

I agree with you guys, we should be consistent so the same approach seems
valid to me. Dave, I assume that we should add a note or something about
this in the spec, shouldn't we?

 

Cheers,

Pablo.

Absolutely. I think we'd been assuming tis when we discussed it for
provenance records at the face to face last week, but I realised we hadn't
sought explicit consensus on this.

cheers,
Dave

Yes, that's fine with me. We should keep characteristics like these
consistent across categories.

Thanks Chase.

A logical follow-on question for LocQualityIssue implementors (as the other
data category with stand off markup with multiple elements): Should we make
the order of locQualityIssue element within a locQualityIssues stand off
element reflect the order they were added in the same way?

i.e. after the definition of locQualityIssues we add  text:
"The order of its:locQualityIssue elements within a its:locQualityIssues
element should reflect the order with which they were added to the document,
with the most recently added one listed first."

Phil, guys?

Regards,
Dave

Hi Chase,
Thanks for getting back to us on this.

In relation to ordering of its:provenanceRecord I propose therefore to add
the following sentence to the provenance section, after we introduce this
element:

"The order of its:provenanceRecord elements within a its:provenanceRecords
element should reflect the order with which they were added to the document,
with the most recently added one listed first."

Can signal whether you are happy with this? 

Then given, your comments also on the time annotation issue below, I think I
will be able to close this issue.

thanks again for this comment,
Regards,
Dave

Hi Chase, Kevin, all,
First thanks to Pablo for his response. Some further responses inline below
related to timing:

Hi Felix, all, 

  

  

>ii) Similarly, does the ordering of provenance records within a
<provenanceRecords> element make a statement about the (temporal) order in
which the records were created?  If an ordering is implied, it raises
questions about the implied ordering in a document where provenance records
are declared both globally and via local markup. 

  

Certainly the spec does not talk about temporal order, but given that
records cannot be declared both globally and via local markup for a single
element, the way I see it, and to simplify things, each provenance record
should be older than the previous one. 

I think the best we can do is offer best practice advice that the order with
which more than one its:provenanceRecord are listed in its:provenanceRecords
element should reflect the order they were added to the document rather than
the order in which the translation(revision) actually happened. 

Pablo, could you confirm that you intend the oldest one to be listed last? 

I don't think we can mandate that the order indicated the order in which the
activity indicated in the record (translation or translation revision) were
preformed. This information may not be available to the processor adding the
annotation. For example a TMS may add this annotation after receiving
translation revisions from two different translators both for multiple
elements but without per element timing information, so it wouldn't know the
order in which the actual revisions were performed. Alternatively their
timings may be known for different elements, but they overlap in time, so
there wouldn't be an obvious order for the records. 

I think this makes sense.  It's more important to me that the overall
semantics be clear than that the ordering work one way or another.  Just the
knowledge that, for example, provenance records are more like a list than a
bag is an important detail. 
  

>iii) More generally, we observe that provenance records lack a date/time
attribute, which makes their semantics as a form of history somewhat muddy.
In practice, a single tool/agent may edit a single document multiple times
in succession over an arbitrary period of time.  Should these multiple
"sessions" be represented by a single logical provenance record?  Or is it
the intention of the spec that the agent add a provenance record for each of
these sessions in which a modification is made to the document? 

  

As I said in the previous point any modification of the content should add a
new provenance record, at least is what I had in mind. 
The original requirements for the proveance data category primarily were
intended to identifiy and differentiate the _agents_ involved in translation
or revising translations different parts of a document. Its not clear what
would be the best form of timing information. Should it be the period over
which the agents conducted the translation(revison) or the instance in time
at which they completed it. As indicated above, even just determining the
ordering, let alone the absolute timing of the activity, can be complicated,
and would require collection of this information to be pushed downstream to
CAT tools that aren't otherwise ITS aware. This might present an
implementation barrier if correct timing was mandated. 

Yes, you're right that this gets very messy when you consider aggregating
provenance data from multiple agents that may have been processing in
parallel.  The main point I wanted to clarify was that the purpose of the
data category was to identify agents as opposed to "processing events".  I
think this is enough for now. 

Thanks!
