Agenda

Iteration remaining items

Email from Markus (echoed below)

We have been delayed in this iteration by both foreseeable (admittedly) and unforeseeable events. I think we have more to gain from finalizing a set of deliverables well and let that take the time it requires, rather than rushing to a close with too many items still open.

Below is an updated list of current iteration deliverables coupled with punted items in parentheses. We will discuss, fix and stabilize this list on the telcon on monday.

The below list will as it looks also naturally form a list of workitems for our F2F. In other words - the F2F will be a session aiming at getting as close as possible towards completing this iteration.

  1. Attribution - still open for next week
    1. Rework attribution module [MarkusG]
    2. Define relation to MODS and RDF/a [MarkusG/MattG]
  2. Metadata
    1. Finalize first draft of MODS RDF Schema [MattG]
    2. Define and implement inclusion of MODS RDF/a in profile schemas [MattG/MarkusG]
    3. First draft of MODS spec prose - pan-profile required metadata [MattG/MarkusG]
    4. First draft of RDF Schema for producer metadata [Marisa] - no longer needs to be separate, MODS can contain both
    5. Define and implement inclusion of Producer meta RDF/a in profile schemas [Marisa/MarkusG]
    6. Spec prose on producer metadata [MarkusG]
  3. Periodicals Profile
    1. Produce first draft of newsfeeds profile [Kenny, Kate, Ole, MarkusG]
    2. (full periodicals profile - wait til next iteration)
  4. Role vocabularies
    1. Produce first version of Book vocab, to SVN [Marisa/MarkusG]

    3. Produce human readable version of book vocab [Marisa]
  5. Simple Book Profile
    1. See 6.2
    2. (See 6.4)
  6. Advanced Book Profile
    1. Integrate MathML [MarkusG]
    2. Producer notes[tracker issue21] [Group] - see "Prodnote" section below
    3. style attribute module - which values to allow [Group] - see "inline style" section below
    4. (Exclusive semi-inlines - wait til next iteration [tracker issue11] [Group])

    2. (Write documentation [Markus] (Start but not completed this iteration))
  9. Miscellaneous
    1. (Schemadoc screenreader review [Kenny] - next iteration)
    2. (XSD testing [Ole?] - next iteration)

close of previous weeks issues

prodnotes

Discussion:

  • The group generally agreed that a dedicated element seems preferable, rather than a specialisation of the annotation concept.
  • A <d:prodnote> element would need a "for" attribute, with an IDref value.
  • Object inner text and table/summary seem to be implied prodnotes.
  • DI-Select switching for different output formats [Tracker issue 26] ties in here, so we may need to resolve this before Prodnote can be fully closed.

Boris proposed an alternative option: Is there an easy way to reference a class of notes and indicate authorship of them separately from the authorship of the main text? This seems like a place where annotation and prodnote have similar requirements, since often annotations too are added by someone other than the author of the annotated text.

Agreed: More information on the alternative option is required. The group can then decide between the two options, hopefully at F2F.

inline style - value enumeration

  • Agreed: Use TEI's "rend" attribute, with the following value limitations:
    • italics
    • bold
    • underline
  • The "rend" attribute can be used not only on <em> but also on other elements, such as <p> etc.
  • Spec prose on cascading level needs to be added by Markus: "For the purposes of the CSS cascade, these values are considered author-level"

new issues to adress this week

  • Prodnote
  • Attribution

Meeting times

The group agreed that telcon start time will move back to 1300h UTC from 30/03, because of daylight savings time coming into effect over the next couple of weeks.

Face to Face meeting 23-24 March

  • The group agreed that telcons would be required during the F2F, but not at the normal time.
  • It was suggested that perhaps the F2F should begin with a telcon (meeting scheduled to begin at 800 UTC)
  • Markus will post more details about telcon time/s and agenda/s prior to the F2F.
