JLIFF and Metadata

Hi all,

 

Trying my luck with the Metadata module I’ve noticed a few things:

 

 

--- There is an option id field for metadata, so we cannot do this:

 

"metadata" : [ { "category" : "document_xml_attribute", …

 

We have to have something like:

 

"metadata" : { "groups" : [ { "category" : "document_xml_attribute", …

 

 

--- There is nothing in the XLIFF specification that says a meta@type has a unique value within a metaGroup.

So, I’m not sure we can do this:

 

"meta": [ { "version" : "3" }, { "phase": "draft" }, …

 

as "version" and "phase" may exist several times in the same group.

I know, there is little chance it would be the case in practice. Do we want to chance this?

 

 

--- Should not "meta" be "metas"?

It does look weird, but maybe consistency is worth that?

 

 

--- There is the question of the namespaces that is still to resolve obviously.

But that is a separate issue.

 

 

--- The latest update of Lynx with JLIFF is here:

cheers,
