Review progress on the Terminology Toolbox 2.0

@Rieks Joosten 
@Sid Haniff 

• @Sid Haniff reported that there is a now a working version of the tool that can grab definitions and can create a machine-readable glossary.

  • The repository is https://github.com/trustoverip/ctwg-toolkit-mrg

• @Rieks Joosten is looking at changing the definitions of some of the CTWG terms that will result in the need to update the tool. He hopes to get those revisions sorted out this week.

• Rieks said that the documentation of the Terminology Toolbox 2.0 is coming along.

• One open issue is how the glossary generator can be configured to produce different human-readable glossary documents. Rieks said that once we have a way of doing that, then we can not only generate different representations of a glossary, but also be able to produce dictionaries, which can present multiple definitions of the same term.

• ACTION: @Rieks Joosten to update @Sid Haniff with any revisions to the Terminology Toolbox 2.0 documentation that would affect development.

Drummond brought up the pending "customers" of the Terminology Toolbox 2.0, specifically the ACDC glossary and the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification glossary.

• @Neil Thomson discussed the need to be able to see examples of how a term is used.

• Rieks shared screenshot #1 (below) to show examples of how a Markdown document can be marked up to include links to definitions inline—and soon including pop-ups.

• Neil and Drummond agreed that the Technology Architecture Task Force will work closely with the CTWG and the Terminology Toolbox 2.0 team to ensure that the glossary is a full test of the Terminology Toolbox 2.0 team.

• We also discussed how the Terminology Toolbox 2.0 could be used by other orgs like the Decentralized Identity Foundation. Rieks noted that it would be ideal if folks from DIF would like to contribute new tools to the Toolbox.

• We agreed that the highest priority for the Terminology Toolbox 2.0 is to convert terms wikis into human-readable glossaries.

  • Sid noted that currently several of the terms wikis are using slightly different formats in their terms wiki pages (e.g., different headings).

  • Rieks hoped that the tool framework could add new scraping tools.

• The second priority is to create different forms of human-readable 

• The third priority is the "term-ref resolution tool" (TRRT). Rieks showed an example of how the TRRT works.

  • The full Terminology Toolbox 2.0 documentation directory is here: https://github.com/essif-lab/framework/tree/master/docs/tev2

  • The TRRT is documented here: https://essif-lab.github.io/framework/docs/tev2/spec-tools/trrt 

  • That link is a good example for how the Terminology Toolbox 2.0 documentation is structured. He shared an example in screenshot #2 (below).
