Hi everyone,
Specifically on the contextual information definition John talked about, I made this suggestion on github [1]:
The ‘contextual information’ definition currently reads as a list of things COGA would like to cover, rather than a general definition of contextual information.
The concept (I think) is for a shared metadata vocabulary that provides consistency across websites.
The more I think about it, the less I think it is actually "contextual", which implies it is about the context the item is within.
It isn't about the local context, it is about cross-site conventions.
I'm really struggling to think of a good term for that, but re-visiting my last suggestion for the SC, perhaps it could be something like:
“Personalisation: For navigation, form elements and interactive controls _conventional_elements_ can be programmatically determined.”
Then define "conventional elements" as those which are included in a publicly available taxonomy for this purpose, of which coga-personalisation is one.
That would mean it doesn’t have to be ‘common’ items, they need to be ones covered by a share taxonomy.
Cheers,
-Alastair
