Cédric,
thank you so much for your comments. I'll bring this information up at
our next meeting. Perhaps you would also be interested in joining the
meeting to provide additional comments? Let me know and I'll send
meeting info.
As for the similarity of the models, we wanted to enable semantic
distinction in the elements, but provide a common framework for how
lines would be marked up. Additional elements could be added as you have
indicated, but we did not want to add so many specific elements to be
too restrictive.This is why the db.all.blocks pattern is also allowed
between lines and linegroups.
Thanks and best regards,
--Scott

Hello,
I did some research and I found interesting document about screenplays
(a dialogue base interaction too) and they use the following
additional informations:
- scene numbering
- scene slugs: information about the action location (setting,
location, time of the day)
- scene breaks: information about the action rhythm
- scene description: information about the action environment
- dialogue: vocal direction, emotion
Everything is explained at
http://www.mediachops.com/producer_chops/1_Production_Cycle/PDFs/screenplay_formatting.pdf
Maybe something to take into account for the publisher spec?
Regards,
Cédric,

Hello,
I just have a little comment on 8.Publishing Subcommittee
report ... Scott suggests everyone read it and provide comments.
With an external view (no knowledge of publishing) I wondered
what is the real motivation to have 3 distinct elements
(dialogue, drama, poetry) because they seem to have the same
goal "speeches" and also have the same xml definition in the
spec
(http://docs.oasis-open.org/docbook/specs/publishers-1.0-spec-cd-01.pdf)
If the definition is the same, isn't the role attribute
sufficient within a single dialogue element?
Or is it a choice made to simplify the stylesheet work as
these elements really need a different printing layout?
Best regards,
Cédric,
With some (not a lot) of experience in marking up both poetry and
drama, I can state
that they are quite different in some ways, particularly if
certain aspects of the visual
presentation of the source is required to be captured.
regards
