Clarification needed for annotatorsRef

I’m not necessarily thinking U+0020 is the better choice (it would prevent any
kind of wrapping).

Hi Yves, all,

my XSLT implementation does not do Validation of the annotatorsRef attribute.
The implementation processes annotatorsRef per data category and takes the
inheritance of annotatorsRef into account, that is it. So I did not run into the
problem. But the suggestion

“ascii-U+0020-space-separated”

sounds good to me.

Cheers,

Felix

Hi all,

While looking at the ITS module for XLIFF, a question came up with regards to
how the annotatorsRef value is specified.

The Schematron rule for ITS assumes the “space-separated” in the definition of
the annotatorsRef value means “whitespace-separated”. But the text is not
specific (See <https://www.w3.org/TR/its20/#its-tool-annotation>
https://www.w3.org/TR/its20/#its-tool-annotation: “The value of annotatorsRef is
a space-separated list of references where each reference is composed of two
parts: a data category identifier and an IRI. These two parts are separated by a

The current Okapi implementation of the ITS processor assumes just
“ascii-U+0020-space-separated” and since none of the files in the ITS2.0 test
suite tests this, we have not run into the question so far.

The change would be easy enough to make but I wanted to know what other
implementations are doing.

Thanks,

-yves

Actually this means the formatted example 23 in the ITS spec incorrect as well:

In the printout
<https://www.w3.org/TR/2013/REC-its20-20131029/#its-tool-annotation>
https://www.w3.org/TR/2013/REC-its20-20131029/#its-tool-annotation

And in the file itself:
<https://www.w3.org/TR/2013/REC-its20-20131029/examples/xml/EX-its-tool-annotation-2.xml>
https://www.w3.org/TR/2013/REC-its20-20131029/examples/xml/EX-its-tool-annotation-2.xml

It is strange that the ITS validator didn’t catch the issue.

Maybe this rule is incorrect?

<assert test="every $ref in tokenize(@its:annotatorsRef, '\s+') satisfies

matches($ref, '

(translate|localization-note|terminology|directionality|language-information|

elements-within-text|domain|text-analysis|locale-filter|provenance|external-resource|

target-pointer|id-value|preserve-space|localization-quality-issue|localization-quality-rating|

mt-confidence|allowed-characters|storage-size)|.+')">

The value of annotatorsRef is a space-separated list of references where

each reference is composed of two parts: a data category identifier and
an IRI.

These two parts are separated by a character | VERTICAL LINE
(U+007C).</assert>

Shouldn’t the “storage-size)|.+'” part disallow white-space after ‘|’?

Or should we allow white-space on the right side of the ‘|’? (which does not
seem to be correct based on the text describing the value).

Subject: [xliff] Invalid ist:annotatorsRef in example

In the big example of section 5.9.13, I think there are several annotatorsRef
values that are invalid.

For example:

<file id="f1" its:annotatorsRef="allowed-characters|

http://example.com/myAllowedCharactersAnnotationTool terminology|

http://example.com/mytermTool localization-quality-issue|

http://example.com/anotherQualityChecker">

Is wrapped after the “|” but since space is the separator for references that
breaks the reference (and creates empty ones).

The valid wrapped notation would be:

<file id="f1"
its:annotatorsRef="allowed-characters|http://example.com/myAllowedCharactersAnnotationTool

terminology|http://example.com/mytermTool

localization-quality-issue|http://example.com/anotherQualityChecker">
