Selectors in Annotations - w3c/epub-specs#2892
Laurent Le Meur: Providing overview of selectors
… page being explained is https://
Brady Duga: model syntax is referring to a spine item not a manifest item. A manifest item is not necessarily in the spine.
… referring to an item in the Spine is easier than referring to an item in the manifest.
Laurent Le Meur: Showing examples of selectors.
Ivan Herman: The text selector was designed for a URL not HTML
… before this will go to the recommendation it will be looked at by other groups.
… I would prefer to use the work done by the web development group, rather than define the definition of the selector in the Working Group
Brady Duga: What is our fallback position if we propose solution that has not been defined by another group?
Laurent Le Meur: There is a different fallback solution.
Ivan Herman: The Text Fragment selector is the preferred solution. but if it is not specified, then there is another solution already proposed.
Laurent Le Meur: The Spatial selector will solve problems.
Hadrien Gardeur: I would rather reference solutions from other groups, than have to define something so technical in this group.
<Susan Neuhaus> +1 Hadrien Gardeur
Ivan Herman: We will be in contact with that group before this proposal goes for recommendation. So we will be able to adjust the proposal before hand.
Laurent Le Meur: The CSS selector is an alternate solution to the Text Fragment selector
Susan Neuhaus: Do I need to identify an element in HTML in order to find it a CSS selector?
Laurent Le Meur: No, CSS selectors will find content even if it is not specifically identified with an attribute.
Hadrien Gardeur: Do we want this to be general enough that it will work in different applications than EPUB? What is the scope?
Wendy Reid: EPUBs are rendered on different types of devices. Our solutions need to be aware of the limitation is processing capability of older reading systems.
… it depends on the inner structure on how data is loaded in an older reading system. The backwards compatibility is an issue.
Hadrien Gardeur: Reading systems will optimize their approach.
Brady Duga: Do we focus on resiliency over performance? +1 for CSS.
Ivan Herman: We have run into this technical hurdle before. CFI?
… let's use the technology CSS provides rather than trying to define something ourselves.
<Ivan Herman> +1 wendy
Wendy Reid: Having run into problems with bookmarks in the past, we need a robust solution.
Brady Duga: We need to keep the number of selectors small: Text, spatial, audio. We need a solution that will be actually implemented. Don't provide too many options for solving the same problem.
Susan Neuhaus: Would the solutions work with older EPUBS?
Hadrien Gardeur: It depends.
Ivan Herman: Based on today's discussion. Laurent Le Meur will come up with different wording.
