RE: Update to XLIFF mapping for terminology use case

Hi David,

Thank you for the explanation.
I think all open questions have been resolved (from our side). We will try finalising the XLIFF part and if further questions will arise we will let you know.

Best regards,
Mārcis ;o)

Hi Marcis,

the x-its mtype is generic on purpose to facilitate usage of more than one its category on one <mrk>.
x-its is used for all cases except for translate, term, and ta.
In these cases we are using XLIFF generic mtypes (and their custom made negations, see the mapping table):
mtype="protect"
mtype="term"
mtype="phrase"

I hope this helps
Hopefully we will get audio soon :-)
Cheers

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the answers.
I believe it is almost clear now. One last question:

The "x-its" value for mtype - is it specifically created to address xml:lang (I ask it because it seems rather generic and maybe it should be treated with caution)? That is, can it be used (or will it be possible to use it) also to indicate of other specific mapping related annotation presence in the XLIFF content.

Best regards,
Mārcis ;o)

We use

mtype="x-its"

to indicate that the mrk is introduced to support the language value transformed from ITS (rather than added natively by an XLIFF processor)
- so its more informative and otherwise not different from native usage.

There are two reasons:

1) the itsx namespace is used when the attribute isn't  defined in ITS.
So here, there is no annotations for defining domains exactly, just though mappings and pointers, but when processed it results in a domian annotation (as in the test suite)

2) the attribute exists in ITS, but some of the meaning is lost in the transform to XLIFF, so it need to be treated in a way that differs from what a 'pure' ITS processor would expect.

The namespace will be:
http://www.w3.org/ns/its-xliff/


Felix now has an action to deploy this, so it will be resolvable soon.

let me know if we can help explain anything further?

cheers,
Dave
