Request for exemplar templates
Michael, of the templates that have been discussed, are any of them
    a reasonably simple exemplar that we should start with? Perhaps we
    need to start off with a "should do this" dummy example that does
    not yet carry extra requirements that would distract from getting to
    a proof point quickly. I seem to recall that parts of the syntax
    we'll be parsing may not be expressible as valid or perhaps even
    well-formed XML, so we need to get past that hurdle first, for
    example.

    

    Also, for the templates that have been discussed, has each one's
    final design been documented, or will we need to read the discussion
    to arrive at the vetted design? I just don't have a sense of
    completion on those discussions. (And if this was covered at
    Monday's meeting, I deserve being lashed with wet angle brackets.)

Should we use the new OASIS open repository
          process for this work?

Let's us do this as an officially sanctioned
          OASIS opensource project at github.

        
 

        
Re inputs/outputs:

        
 

        
- input would be a topic that uses the updated
          doctype (with new elems/atts) as described in the email
          summary linked below

        
- output would be (at least initially) a
          single-file doctype definition using either DTD syntax, RNG
          syntax, or XSD syntax that defines the new specialization and
          provides the validation rules for it

Hi Don,

              

              I'm the culprit who volunteered you, I figured you would
              be interested. Also involved in this are Tim Grantham and
              Carlos Evia. In the meeting Michael P talked about making
              the tool that would convert a template to a
              specialization, based on the info at the bottom of this
              email and especially this thread:

              

              http://markmail.org/message/pd4u5kfg44xp5x5c

              

              Michael wanted XSLT that would run on the template file
              and output a specialization. I believe this output
              includes a topic and also a schema, and I mentioned making
              a RelaxNG schema. But I'm a bit muddy on what the output
              would be exactly, please correct me or verify.

            My apologies to all; I intended to
              meet but had the wrong time in mind. I deserve to have
              been volunteered for far worse; this fate looks
              acceptable. If anyone captured some insights that would be
              helpful, please put those in an email to the under a clear
              subject line so that we can discuss the approach (e.g.,
              "Generating schemas from templates"). Thanks!

                Mark, Carlos, Tim, and
                  Don have (been) volunteered to take that email and
                  implement it:

                

                - adding the required
                  elements/attributes to the base topic/map DTDs

                - creating XSLT to
                  generate RNG (or DTD, XSD...) from a template topic
                  (ie any DITA topic, with/without use of the new
                  template attributes/elements)

                  validation:

                  - learning and training - analyzed scenarios, proposed

                  - marketing - analyzed scenarios, working towards new
                  specialization proposals

                  - software development - analyzed scenarios

                  - machine industries - analyzed scenarios

                

                Cross-format mappings:

                  - markdown and HTML5 in progress, need updating

                  - JSON investigated

                  - others proposed: PPT, other slide formats, Word
