Documents
Meeting notes
- Toolkit (Menzo)
- Some restructuring of the tookit project has been done for CMDI 1.2
- Work has been done on the schemas and XSLTs
- Testing
- components & records
- There is no complete test set yet (input needed)
- 'Upgrade' part of toolkit
- component upgrading done
- currently working on CMDI record upgrade (update: done)
- Planning
- more tests, specifically invalid cases
- test harness: maven(-like) project with CMDI validator for testing
- Some issues found in cmdi 1.2 proposal while working on the toolkit
- renaming, aligning of attributes
- display priority
- more cleanup (e.g. consistent usage of upper/lower case)
- Specification document structure (Twan)
- See below for a proposal
- Some small changes compared to current structure
- No one opposes
- See below for a proposal
- Work on specification document (Thorsten)
- ISO document in the process
- Some questions
- Changes in cmdi 1.2 w.r.t. resource relations
- who can help?
- reviewing draft
- Jens volunteers
- who can help?
- Discussion in ISO group about using XML in document standards
- Distinction between structure and markup
- Changes in cmdi 1.2 w.r.t. resource relations
- Will work on spec one day this week
- Menzo: there can be some divergence between the ISO document and CLARIN document (but try to harmonise)
- Thorsten: CLARIN spec should be a valid instantiation of ISO document
- Menzo: people can review changes. People who worked on CMDI 1.2 proposal specifically
- Planning
- Completion toolkit (Menzo, Oliver)
- Work on specification - based toolkit and CMDI 1.2 proposal (Thorsten)
- CMDI 1.2 task force members review ISO document (Jens, ...)
- Find testers, primarily from task force (coordinators)
- Discussion
- Menzo: wiki page is copy of ISO document. Will Thorsten work on Wiki? Will there be a split at some point?
- Thorsten suggests to keep documents the same as long as possible
- Insert notes which are (not) relevant for ISO
- Thorsten: How far are we actually with CMDI 1.2? Split only when it's done.
- Menzo: what is 'done'? :) Proposal is done & accepted, toolkit is first implementation step
- First CMDI 1.2 specification, ISO should be distilled from this
- Thorsten: not sure if no XML can be contained in the ISO document (for the sake of being specific)
- Thorsten suggests to keep documents the same as long as possible
- Conclusion: start with most specific specification, distill more generic specification as needed
- Menzo: at some point the XML spec should be frozen (after toolkit has been thoroughly tested)
- Menzo: wiki page is copy of ISO document. Will Thorsten work on Wiki? Will there be a split at some point?
