Update from LinuxCon

License XML

  • Completed a first pass of all proposed terms – notes are documented in the google doc at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z9n44xLH2MxT576KS_AbTOBtecyl5cw6RsrrQHibQtg/edit?usp=sharing
  • Formatting tags conclusions:
    • Some of the formatting tags have semantics – such as ignoring bullets. These should be included in the RDF form of the license.
    • Some of the formatting tags are strictly formatting – such as br. These will not be included in the RDF, but will be used to generate the HTML.
    • We should use terms more human readable and different from the HTML tags – e.g. newline instead of br. 2 reasons – more human readable for those not familiar with HTML and they do represent 2 different problem spaces and should use distinct terms.
  • Syn conclusions:
    • Include a single XML file dictionary in release one in the output XML that can be used to lookup synonyms
    • Release 2, include a synonym tag in the generated XML. Reason: need to discuss if we can have license specific synonyms.
    • For RDF reference https://www.w3.org/TR/wordnet-rdf/ as a synonym language
