Re: [ontolex] yet another "final" proposal for Vartrans

Jorge, ontolex members,

  last Friday we had an very intense telecoference, see minutes here:

As important milestones, we decided the following:

1) accept proposal 3B of Jorge mentioned in the email below. With this 
we more or less conclude the work on the vartrans module, for which we 
decided to keep the name (vartrans). We still need to finish the 
discussion on representing provenance of translations however (Jorge: 
are you going to be available for the telco next week)

2) We discussed again the examples for the metadata module provided by 
Armando and Manuel and agreed on them essentially. We only discussed few 
things: whether a proxy resource for a dataset is needed (it is needed 
to add metadata essentially) and whether we need both a ontolex:Lexicon 
(as lexicon object) and a lime:Lexicon (as dataset).

3) We decided to have both integer and percentage properties for the 
coverage in the lime module.

I think these are important milestones that conclude some of the open 
discussion we have been having in the last months.

Talk to you all on the 14th to finalize other aspects of the model.

Best regards,

Philipp.
