Dear all, Please review following integration algorithm. I will try to explain this on Thursday meeting if time allows. Of course, your questions, comment and suggestions prior to the meeting are very welcome. If you want to see pretty-print form (PDF), please let me know. Major changes since v0.2 are: - LGR-1 -> LGR-alpha, LGR-2 -> LGR-beta - Notation of variable-like keywords changed to ${keywords} style - Bug fix in Step3, 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 ====================================================================== CJK Integration Algorithm (v0.3) Precondition - Each of CJK Generation Panels (GPs) generates LGR for each language TLD before integration. > CJK GPs pick up ideographic variants for CJK from domain name usage perspective. > CJK GPs don’t elaborate ideographic variants for CJK from linguistic perspective. - CJK GPs agree on the mechanism (steps) to integrate and extract each language (script) LGR. Step 1: Each CJK GP generates its own LGR (hereinafter, LGR-alpha) - LGR-alpha generation process is left to each CJK GP. - LGR-alpha format must follow XML schema for LGR. <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-davies-idntables/> - Each code point must have individual <char> element (i.e. don’t use <range> element). - Each <char> element in LGR-alpha must have reflexive mapping as <var> element (i.e. each code point must have explicit variant type/subtype). - WLE of Each LGR-alpha must not conflict (Conflict of WLE must be coordinated and solved at this step). Step 2: CJK GPs collectively generate a merged table of each LGR-alpha (hereinafter, LGR-M) 1. Extract every <char> element tagged “sc:Hani” from each LGR-alpha. 2. For each extracted <char> element, check the existence of another <char> element with the same code point (“cp” value), and if exitsts, merge them into one element. At this time, “type” attribute of <var> element must be removed. 3. After the check was finished, record every merged <char> elements to LGR-M. - Repertoire of LGR-M is the union of all sc:Hani in each CJK LGR-alpha. - Variants of each <char> elements in LGR-M is the union of all variants defined for the code point in each CJK LGR-alpha. - LGR-M does not have following information. > Language tag. > Variant type/subtype attribute of <var> elements. > WLE (Whole Label Evaluation rules). Step 3: Each CJK GP extract its original repertoire with integrated variants from LGR-M. 1. For each <char> element in its LGR-alpha (hereinafter, ${char:: LGR-alpha}), extract <char> element of the same code point (“cp” value) from LGR-M (hereinafter, ${char::LGR-M}). 1.1. For each <var> element in ${char::LGR-M} (hereinafter, ${var::LGR-M}), compare with <var> elements in ${char::LGR-alpha} (hereinafter, ${var::LGR-alpha}). 1.1.1. If ${var::LGR-M} has the same code point (“cp” value) with one of ${var::LGR-alpha}, then copy “type” attribute of corresponding ${var::LGR-alpha} to ${var::LGR-M}. 1.1.2. Otherwise, if ${var::LGR-M} has the same code point (“cp” value) with any of <char> elements in LGR-alpha, set “type” attribute with value “allocatable” to ${var::LGR-M}. 1.1.3. Otherwise, set “type” attribute with value “blocked” to ${var::LGR-M}, and record the code point of ${var::LGR-M} to Out-of-Repertoire list (hereinafter, ${OoR-list}). 1.2. Record ${char::LGR-M} to Integrated-Repertoire list (hereinafter, ${IR-list}). Step 4: Each CJK GP add “Out of Repertoire” code points for symmetry. 1. For each code point in ${OoR-list} (hereinafter, ${cp::OoR-list}), extract <char> element of the same code point (“cp” value) from LGR-M (hereinafter, ${char::LGR-M}). 1.1. For each <var> element in ${char::LGR-M} (hereinafter, ${var::LGR-M}), compare ${cp::OoR-list} and code point (“cp” value) of ${var::LGR-M}. 1.2. If the two code points are the same, add “type” attribute with value “out-of-repertoire-var” to ${var::LGR-M}. 1.3. Otherwise, add “type” attribute with value “blocked” to ${var::LGR-M}. 1.4. Record ${char::LGR-M} to ${IR-list}. Step 5: Each CJK GP merge WLE in LGR-alpha into one. 1. Each GP extract <rules> element from each LGR-alpha and merge them into one WLE (generate integrated <rules> element, hereinafter, ${rules::LGR-M}). 2. Each GP add following rule to ${rules::LGR-M} for handling “out-of-repertoire-var” variant type. <action disp=”invalid” any-variant=”out-of-repertoire-var” /> Step 6: Each CJK GP generates integrated LGR (hereinafter, LGR-beta). 1. Each GP extract preambles from its LGR-alpha (hereinafter, ${preamble::LGR-alpha}). 2. Each GP extract all <char> elements with “tag” value other than “sc:Hani” and record to IR-list. 3. Each GP merge ${preamble::LGR-alpha}, IR-list and ${rules::LGR-M} into LGR-beta. - In other words, this step replaces body of <data> element and <rules> element of LGR-alpha to IR-list and ${rules::LGR-M} respectively. ====================================================================== Regards, -- Yoshiro YONEYA <yoshiro.yoneya@jprs.co.jp>
