https://github.com/w3c/publishingcg/issues/49
16:07:57 [wolfgang]
liisa: starting counterfeit TF - put an issue into Github repo - identify an authentic edition - files are stolen, manipulated and sold - purpose: passive income - find a way to identify files that are not authentic
16:08:25 [liisamk]

liisa: hopefully meet next week and then have follow-up meetings
16:09:28 [tzviya]
q+
16:10:27 [wolfgang]
wendyreid: part of this problem - this might be unique to one problem - Kobo has systems in place to avoid counterfeiting
16:11:08 [wolfgang]
... case where a book is held on one platform - exclusivity contracts with 1 platform
16:11:16 [zheng_xu]

s/unique to one problem/unique to one platform/

Topic 2: Repo issue: 47
16:13:50 [zheng_xu]
https://github.com/w3c/publishingcg/issues/47
16:14:12 [wolfgang]
How to write the OPF of a book containing two or more translations of the same work? #47
16:14:16 [wendyreid]
q+
16:15:43 [wolfgang]
wendyreid: came to WG repo first - modifying OPF file for a book that contained several language versions of the same content - too late in the work cycle for EPUB 3.3
16:16:00 [wolfgang]
... should explore more in detail
16:16:20 [wolfgang]
... as a reader who wants a book with several translations in it
16:16:53 [wolfgang]
... able to read + search + manage in the language of my choice
16:17:21 [wolfgang]
... what are we going to do with content that has several translations in it
16:18:19 [zheng_xu]
q+
16:18:26 [wolfgang]
... also interlinear text, e.g. opera librettos (original Italian, English, muscial notation at the same time) - how to do that and in an accessible way?
16:18:39 [Zakim]

16:19:23 [tzviya]
q+
16:20:15 [wolfgang]
zheng: how do RS handle the several languages inside the OPF - in some RS OPF language info for choosing print fonts -
16:20:42 [wolfgang]
... do we have more use cases for this issue?
16:21:02 [zheng_xu]
q?
16:21:47 [wolfgang]
Naomi: long discussion in A11Y TF about A11Y metadata - we do have to note that A11Y Summary and features should be taken into account in this context
16:23:54 [wolfgang]
tzviya: interlinear - a lot of CSS work on that - classic example: interlinear Bible (Hebrew, English) or prayerbook - in EPUB this doesn't work yet - in OPF corresponding problem: which is the original language
16:24:00 [Naomi]

16:24:29 [zheng_xu]
q?
16:25:11 [tzviya]
ack Naomi
16:25:25 [wolfgang]
Naomi: a good example - doc without primary language - EU documentation - a lot of languages, but none is primary - potentially an edge case

wendyreid: distributor reported errors about multiple occurrence of xml:lang or Dublin Core data which would be correct by the standard - if you have got several language versions of a title and a user wants to access it with still a further language

... instruction manuals with many languages - if you are online, you may just download it in your language - we don't need to recreate print solution here
16:30:20 [Naomi]
q+
16:30:30 [wolfgang]
zheng: we do have use case of one book containing several languages, e.g. Bible - XML metadata should be able to handle parallel metadata for title, etc.
16:30:43 [zheng_xu]
q?
16:30:49 [wolfgang]
... suppose it can be handled in OPF
16:31:52 [wolfgang]
liisa: a lot of bilingual children's books - different languages on the same page - children's picturebooks in FXL show that
16:32:02 [wendyreid]

Naomi: how does ONIX handle this?
16:32:53 [wendyreid]
http://www.onix-codelists.io/codelist/22
16:32:57 [wolfgang]
Gregorio: ONIX handles this - you may have textual metadata in several languages
16:33:15 [wolfgang]
Naomi: we may look at this as a starting point
16:34:19 [wolfgang]
Gregorio: Publication is in English - you put in descriptive metadata for the Chinese market for marketing purposes in China - but also publications with multiple languages
16:35:16 [wolfgang]
Naomi: interesting to see whether the retailer that rejected the product, would be able to handle a ONIX file like Gregorio described it

... we can't do the same thing as ONIX - in an OPF or JSON - we do have such content in the market so it's relevant to us
16:39:27 [wolfgang]
zheng: do we have an action item for this? What could be done to identify the gap?
16:39:41 [tzviya]
q+ to suggest mapping to onix

q+
16:41:34 [wolfgang]
naomi: we want a guidance document for retailers how to handle such stuff, e.g. 3 dc:Title elements - what should be displayed? - ordering or sequence identifiers - this would be what we as CG would expect retailers to do

s/figuring how to handle multiple languages handling in OPF/figuring how to handle multiple languages handling in OPF by mapping to ONIX
16:43:57 [wolfgang]
gautier: on a RS perspective, it's very good to have a use case - in Thorium we will display the language that matches the language setting of the user - if none, we use the first entry
16:44:58 [wolfgang]
... in some case you get a book as a French book though it also contains Arabic because your setting is French - glad to see that use case and have discussion about it
16:45:00 [zheng_xu]

q+
16:52:40 [wolfgang]
paul: would that be a kind of database that may be accessed
16:53:29 [wolfgang]
gautier: Hypothesis is based on Open Annotations - you have to identify the book across different RS and store your annotations independently

16:59:43 [wolfgang]
... conversation with RS vendors needed
17:00:02 [wolfgang]
