Un cours d'introduction à XML
by Fenal Jerome 27 Aoû '01

27 Aoû '01

Bonjour à tous, vu que je suis une brelle en XML, je suis tombé par hasard sur une introduction à XML, aux XSLs, et DTD. Et j'ai tout compris. C'est en anglais, c'est fait par Oracle, et ça se trouve sur http://ilearning.oracle.com. Ca fait partie des cours gratuits, vous devez vous enregistrer sur le site pour y avoir accès (ceux qui ont un accès sur OTN peuvent ajouter OLN à leur profil). Cordialement, Jérôme PS : j'ai pas d'actions chez Oracle.

Bonjour, j'ai parcouru les archives de la liste pour complèter le dico d'Arnaud ( http://launay.org/HOWTO/Dico.html ). Somelist ne semble pas possèder une archive complète (elle ne remonte qu'à novembre 2000). Je les ai récupéré et tar.bz2-ifiées. Elles sont dispos sur http://perso.wanadoo.fr/oumph/traduc/ . Et le fichier des traductions s'y trouvent aussi (du 7/11/2000 jusqu'à maintenant). -- Benoît Sibaud

The group recognized the difficulties > this leads to but felt that there was no way that they could endorse or > mandate a particular license. > > Mark Galassi said that he was glad to see that O'Reilly was working on > publishing "Free" documentation, but felt that we were doing something > of a disservice by promoting the "Open Publication License." Chuck > Toporek responded and noted that O'Reilly isn't necessarily "promoting" > the OPL; when in fact, O'Reilly pretty much leaves it up to the author > to decide which license they would like to use.

Therefore, the choice of > license will remain an author decision. > > The solution chosen by the LDP was to define the basic requirements a > license must follow to qualify as "free" - yet this solution only fix > the "diversity" problem, leaving the relicensing problem. > > A possible solution for the relicensing problem could be unifying the > licenses, adding relicensing clause to the most popular licenses or > transferring ownership of the documents to a non-profit 3rd party > trusted to relicense the document should this kind of problem occur. > > * Recruiting Volunteers > > Eric Bischoff read a communique from the documentation manager regarding > the release of KDE2 and the documentation associated with it : > "We're all writing documentation, but the hard part is to get someone to > write good documentation". > > Jonray pointed out that one problem with writing documentation is that > the writer opens themselves up to being flamed or criticized if someone > doesn't like what they've written. It's hard to keep volunteers around > if they're getting banged on. > > Mark brought up the point that some people who write documentation can > be lead down the path of writing code. He also commented on how amazed > he was at the speed and quality of the people who are working on foriegn > language translations. > > Bradley Kuhn commented that part of the reason why the GNOME > Documentation Project (GDP) has been so successful is because Dan > Mueth's leadership and the way he encouraged and treated the writers. > > On the Darwin Project, most of the people who are interested in writing > documentation are programmers who are wanting to write about something > they're working on. The problem is that they have trouble getting the > tools installed on their system, and they end up walking away. > > On the FreeBSD side, Nik Clayton said they try to make it so the tools > install properly by issuing one command. > > The LDP reminded that its policy of 'directed anarchy' and tradition of > freedom was still active, and that no orders or nonconsensual decisions > were never enforced, in an effort to keep attracting authors. > > The general consensus is that there needs to be a way of lowering the > bar in that GUI tools are needed for people to author and generate > DocBook, and then transfrom that into some other format, such as > PostScript, HTML, PDF, or just raw text. > > While some kind of hierarchy (KDE case) may help in providing a uniform > documentation, anarchy (LDP - GDP) can be controlled to provide more and > more documentation. After an intense discussion between the LDP members > advocating freedom and the KDE members advocating order, it was > generally agreed that each project had its own rules and inner > functionning, and that we should not try to criticize the way others > projects works, > > One of the concerns shared by all organizations represented at the Summit > was how to recruit and maintain volunteer authors and editors for the > projects. There are primarily two real hurdles for recruiting documentation > volunteers: 1) the tools are too hard to learn and use without having > someone knowledgeable to give instructions on installing and using them, 2) > potential authors see documentation as secondary to developing software, > with very few possible advantages for either their online popularity or > their future carreer. > > One of the reasons that it is hard to get volunteers to work on open-source > documentation is the learning curve associated with the tools. It is hard > to get authors and editors excited about using Emacs when they are coming > from a Windows editing environment. The general consensus among Summit > participants was that there needs to be a simpler editing tool that allows > for on-the-fly validation of documents.

Norman Walsh (a principle > creator of the DocBook DTD) said that he did not know if DocBook would > scale below one hundred tags; therefore, he wasn't sure that he would be > able to create a pared-down version of DocBook. David Lawyer from the LDP > suggested that the older DTD, linuxdoc, would be an excellent alternative > because of its simplicity, for some short documents or new authors. The > remaining Summit participants dismissed linuxdoc as an option because of > its failure to meet DocBook standards and the subsequent difficulties > automating its conversion into DocBook. The LDP was also criticized for > its continued use of linuxdoc. Participants at the conference felt very > strongly that continuing to accept documentation in linuxdoc was a real > mistake for the LDP. However, current president of the LDP, Guylhem > Aznar refused to commit the LDP to transforming all documents to DocBook > in the upcoming year.

Developers > and system administrators believe that someone else out there is writing > the documentation and that all developers and system administrators don't > need to publicize their fixes. Participants at the conference also voiced > the belief that many developers and system administrators feel that writing > documentation is beneath them. They would rather be programming or fixing > problems instead of writing about the code they developed or the steps to > their solutions and making these solutions available to the public. In > order to address these areas, participants at the Summit agreed to begin > actively speaking out about documentation and how much the community needs > documentation. The LDP has been involved since april 2000 in active voluteer > recruitment in Conferences and conventions. They were identified as > great places to begin educating potential authors about the value of > documentation. > > Also, Summit participants have begun a campaign to try to contact > developers who do write documentation to, in turn, contact ten other > developers and convince them to write open-source documentation - since > documentation is a gateway to beginning to write code, there will always > be a lack of documentation authors in the free software community. > > Another problem is lots of documentation is written informally - in > email message, on usenet, in some webpages only accessible though search > engine. Some linux users, for exemple in the third world, do not have > permanant online access. > > Certainly, money helps. How else? Documentation "itch scratching" isn't as > rewarding as writing code. It doesn't have the same prestige. But since > Many people entering the Libre software community now (as opposed to 15 > years ago) aren't programmers, we should try to leverage these people > who may be good writers. > > * Interroperability Between Projects > > Eric Bischoff said that the KDE group has been working with the GDP on > trying to figure out what tools are best. One suggestion he had was that > knowing the right people to write the documentation certainly helps. > > The LDP explained it started to integrate small projects in its > "federal" organisation, where each project is fully independant, but > ressources are shared.

The primary purpose of this > database is to index every open-source document within a single repository. > For this purpose, Metalab developed a set of tags for metadata in > continuation of the Dublin Core effort (http://www.perl.org/dc). The > Dublin Core is a standard group of metadata that can be used to classify > information. The LDP is already using OMF on some of its ressources. > There are 16 elements, and most are optional. The one that was added, > beyond DC, was the <tt>type</tt> element. In conjunction with this > effort, the Scrollkeeper project, brought about by last year's > documentation summit, is maturing; its purpose is to install OMF > metadata on the end user's machine to allow easier search for relevant > documents. Using this system, readers would be able to search documents > based on sixteen different search criteria instead of having to search > through titles on an index or use a search engine for hits that are > only close to what they are searching for. The OMF effort will index > each document by output form (PDF, HTML, PS, etc.), not by source. > Currently the metadata forms are ready for users to start submitting > documentation and filling in the appropriate metadata fields for each > document. This project will take a large number of volunteer hours to > get a significant number of documents correctly tagged with metadata. > However, the outcome of the project should be quite exciting. > > * Translating Documentation > > KDE representative, Eric Bishoff overviewed the automated translation > efforts at work within KDE. He discussed how KDE was developing a > translation memory system much like the Windows compliant Trados software. > The process involves breaking the text of a document into small chunks, > stored in a database. Then a fuzzy-matching algorithm matches changes in > the English to changes in the translation. > > When a document is authored in English and translated into another > language, there usually isn't any problem. But where problems crop up is > when the original document gets updated (or in the case of printed > books, when a new edition is published), because your choices are: > Have the book translated all over again. > Run a diff on the updated file and have the translator go back to the > translated version of the document and find the place where they need to > change the text. > > Solution: > KDE has a tool, kbabel, that they use for performing translations on > po files. They also have another application called > po2xml for use in converting po files into XML. > > He says that the work is still tedious and that many of the culturally > based scenarios in the documents did not translate well when the > translation software encountered them. Translation of DocBook is aided > by the fact that the documentation is technical and so there is not a > lot of context.The translation effort is still using a great deal of > manpower resources, but the software is making progress. Members of the > community were very interested in how the translation effort and > translation software would affect documentation.
