Laurent Le Meur: early to draft, but draft to be ready in October

Laurent Le Meur: Matt has seen no feed back, doesn’t need assistance, if people see something, they can add an issue.

Tzviya Siegman: identifier section - really important matter

Laurent Le Meur: @dauwhe, thanks for the tip

Ric Wright: and when the person says several lines worth, skip the name and use an ellipses i.e …

1. Task forces

1.1. About locators

Laurent Le Meur: .Benjamin Young: I’ll be happy to help

Yuri: are these locators the same thing as the “old” CFI spec?

Benjamin: the extended concept will be extended.

Yuri: then we’ll help, with annotations and Readium in mind

Tzviya Siegman: evidentpoint volunteers to contribute to locators and ids

Leonard Rosenthol: we were thinking about locators in a different way.
… how do you talk about individual resources?
… we didn’t came upon sub-resources

Tim: it will go into the github repo, let’s discuss there

Tzviya Siegman: keep in mind we are separate from DPUB. We don’t want to create a new fragment identifier.
… Content model, core media types, nobody assigned. Anybody volunteers? leave for now.
… Document level annotations: isn’t it about Web Annotations?

Leonard Rosenthol: it should be much further down.

Benjamin Young: “Document (or Publication) level annotation” == identifier, doesn’t it?

BillK: is it at the publication level or document level?

Benjamin Young: Web Annotation covers everything that can be identified.

Leonard Rosenthol: publication

Leonard Rosenthol: @bigbluehat - maybe :)

Benjamin Young: Just need specs for identification (and location)

Tim Cole: Web Anno covers how to describe the annotation, not what is done with it…

Leonard Rosenthol: agreed that once we know what the identifier is, that it may be automatic

1.2. metadata

Luc Audrain: I can deal with that. Serialization is to be decided; first it is needed to list the necessary metadata

Tzviya Siegman: and the minimum set of metadata a publication must support

Laurent Le Meur: Hugh McGuire: I volunteer

Hugh McGuire: yes we are working on open textbooks / open monographs on the web. boris can work on metadata.

Tzviya Siegman: Manifest. There has been extensive discussion already
… Navigation is assigned to Avneesh & George

George Kerscher: we’ll check all aspects of navigation

1.3. Sync media, in the a11y taskforce?

Avneesh Singh: join work btw DAniel, Marisa and a11y taskforce

1.4. Implementation issues; maybe we’ll deal with it as it comes up

Leonard Rosenthol: let’s keep it as a placeholder

1.5. Personalization

Mateus Teixeira: I’m planning at starting a call for participation this week. Especially User to reading environment. Less clear on the Authoring aspect. -> Mostly from a publisher perspective.

Leonard Rosenthol: one of the first thing we should discuss is understanding where we drow the line btw the author and user’s needs.

Mateus Teixeira: that makes sense.

Wolfgang Schindler: *+1 to @leonard on personalization

Mateus Teixeira: +1

Laurent Le Meur: Jiminy is working on the Readium baseline CSS, which includes questions like how to get a night mode and GUI personalization working in front of complex CSS in ebooks. This will be usable as input for this taskforce.

Leonard Rosenthol: at Adobe we has an initiative along the same lines

Tzviya Siegman: for each section, do you have what you need?

Leonard Rosenthol: we’ve been focusing on typographic areas most recently (font size, font choice, colors, etc)

Hugh McGuire: how do i get in speaker queue?

Wolfgang Schindler: *@hughmcguire: type q+

Hugh McGuire: great! thank you.

Tzviya Siegman: tools are calls for participation, write a paragraph and send it for review, open a github issue and wait for people to yield at you.

Wolfgang Schindler: * you’re welcome!

Tzviya Siegman: you can write in a Google doc if you like

Matt Garrish: draft doc: https://github.com/w3c/wpub/blob/master/index.html

Murata Makoto: what will be the status of the working draft: an agreed paper or a collection of sections not totally agreed?

Tzviya Siegman: the published WD should be agreed by consensus.

Avneesh Singh: the a11y TF: we want to come on with a plan

Tzviya Siegman: Ivan will be back in August

2. Issues

Tzviya Siegman: https://github.com/w3c/wpub/issues/6#issuecomment-314486416

Tzviya Siegman: last week we went through the issues is github. We have a lot of repetition and some confusion on what we have to accomplish.

Tzviya Siegman: issue 6 is maybe the most important; it is about the abstract model, not the serialization.

Murata Makoto: I hear lots of noise.

Luc Audrain: Sorry we cannot follow Dave, too much noise

Dave: a WP is a collection of Web resources (very difficult to follow, white noise)

Tzviya Siegman: Identifier of WP.

Tzviya Siegman: Identification as a WP

Tzviya Siegman: List of publication resources.

Tzviya Siegman: Reading order.

Tzviya Siegman: Metadata.

Tzviya Siegman: Nav doc.

Dave Cramer: dauwhe: manifest is just information about the publication as a whole

Murata Makoto: Looks sensible.

Hugh McGuire: looks sensible to me!

Dave: made some experimenting this morning.

Luc Audrain: Please Caller 02, mute, too much noise

Murata Makoto: FYI: OOXML allows embedded OOXML via OLE.

Leonard Rosenthol: @murata - yes and it’s hideous!

Luc Audrain: seems that some info like metadata may be optional in WP and mandatory in EPUB4. E.g a title. Is it a decision?

Tzviya Siegman: decision to be taken in the metadata TF

Leonard Rosenthol: @dauwhe - IIRC it does not

Leonard Rosenthol: isrelatedto?

Hugh McGuire: isBasedOn

Wolfgang Schindler: isVersion/RenditionOf?

Avneesh Singh: navigation, before making it optional, are we sure that we can infer it from the content?

Tzviya Siegman: mostly because a single page publication does not need it. But all docs I’ve seen have a navigation.

Murata Makoto: I don’t think that we have to reach consensus about that yet.

BillK: basic question; could the identifier of the WP be the URL or URI or IRI of the manifest?

Tzviya Siegman: no answer at the moment

Hugh McGuire: 3 mins

Benjamin Young: don’t make it anything that has a file extension in it…whatever else you do. Not .html and not .json. The web doesn’t have file extensions.

Leonard Rosenthol: @hadrien - yes, because sniffing is such a good idea :(

Tzviya Siegman: we need a decision on this subject. Some people spent time on it already. But we need more manageable github issues

Hadrien Gardeur: @leonardr we have media types for that

Leonard Rosenthol: @hadrien we should have them, but the HTML spec doesnt actually care about those either.
