Au-delà des polémiques, je trouve que c'est un beau signe d'ouverture de l'UMP que d'avoir fait organiser leur élection par Martine Aubry.

Replying to @stevefaulkner

It might be a good idea to get in touch with the CIU people, they have experience crowdsourcing this sort of stuff?

Replying to @null and @graouts

It depends on what you want to do. The test suites themselves are on dvcs.w3.org, so hg. But groups are moving to GitHub.

Replying to @null and @graouts

Good! You'll have to join the relevant group if you want to commit. There's an HTML Testing TF if you're into that.

Replying to @null and @graouts

BTW have you spoken with @hober about DAP? ;-)

Replying to @null and @graouts

I'll leave that decision in @hober's capable hands. But your name was mentioned at TPAC at some point :)

Replying to @null and @graouts

Have fun! Note that we've been thinking about reorganising the suite to make it easier to find stuff in there.

Replying to @null and @graouts

So any feedback about what you found easy/hard to find is welcome.

Is there an XQuery DB that can parse & store HTML using proper HTML5 parsing? I see Zorba has something, but it's Tidy, not real parsing.
↺ 1

Replying to @adamretter

I have a largish (~700MB) HTML corpus that I need to analyse, hopefully faster than always parsing and running jQuerys on it.

Replying to @adamretter

But I need it properly parsed as HTML. Tidy will change the syntax and parse as XML, so the Infoset will be different.

Replying to @null and @ndw

Would it be able to store to MarkLogic without serialising to XHTML in the middle? Because that won't work, sadly.

Replying to @null and @ndw

i.e. I need to query the real Infoset one gets from HTML parsing; that doesn't always round-trip through XHTML.

Replying to @al3xbrown

There will be small but real differences with script content and xmlns attributes (which I do see in the corpus). @ndw

Replying to @null and @ndw

E.g. I see a bunch of xmlns:fb in the corpus from people who use Facebook's scripts. That must not be parsed as an NS declaration.

Replying to @null and @ndw

For a subset of queries it would be good though — I just need to mull over whether it's large enough.

Replying to @null and @ndw

Ah, indeed, I'm not ever going to get local names of xmlns:fb am I. *sigh* Someone should make a tool that properly handles HTML *hint*

Replying to @null and @ndw

I'm operating on paciellogroup.com/blog/2012/04/h… I reckon I might be able to use ML with just the NS limitation. Pondering that. Thoughts welcome!

Replying to @null and @ndw

Oh, btw, it's a real world corpus of the top 10K sites so be warned that not all of it is, erm, necessarily tasteful.

Replying to @null and @ndw

I'm afraid that ship has sailed a long, long time ago :) I'm just in the trenches trying to marry good data to good tools! @al3xbrown

Replying to @adamretter

E.g. namespace declarations shouldn't be namespace declarations. See tweetthread with @ndw

Replying to @al3xbrown

Haha, I doubt all the power in the world could update that much legacy content :) @ndw

Replying to @adamretter

There's a bunch of other problems vs the XDM too, e.g. syntax for names and IDs.

Replying to @null and @ndw

Thinking about it, I reckon most/all of the XDM checks that make processing HTML impossible aren't needed for optimisation, right?

Replying to @null and @ndw

So I'm thinking there's no reason there couldn't be a "loose" XDM mode that could handle HTML as such.

Replying to @null and @ndw

I *wonder* if there's a business in indexing HTML documents (properly) with powerful querying abilities…

Replying to @adamretter

Aha, that's a lead. But as @ndw indicates, would the XQ then accept the likes of fn:id("42")?

Replying to @null and @ndw

XQuery could work just fine with the same relaxations applied I reckon.

Replying to @adamretter

If you want the corpus it's up at paciellogroup.com/blog/2012/04/h… :)

Replying to @null and @ndw

That's fine so long as you can fn:QName("", "xmlns:fb") and such — you can always compare with /*[…] instead @adamretter

Replying to @null and @ndw

In other words, having to be careful with some queries isn't a problem so long as it doesn't barf on weird constructs. @adamretter

Replying to @null and @ndw

That might trip it or in general?

Replying to @null and @ndw

A simple example from right now: show all img alt text highlighted in the context of surrounding text (if any).

Replying to @null and @ndw

Where surrounding text is any text before or after the img inside a block-level parent.

Replying to @null and @ndw

I'm trying to decide if alt text is used as replacement (as claimed in HTML5) or as a meta description (as claimed by WCAG).

Replying to @null and @ndw

Here's the relevant snippet from the JS I'm using gist.github.com/4118747

Replying to @jirkakosek

LOL :) I'm just generating the report — for the NLP parts I'm using a human being. @ndw

Replying to @pgfearo

Yes, exactly. Lots of HTML DOMs.

Replying to @mattpatterson and @fidothe

That was just one example, there are many things that simply don't map very well to XML at all. @ndw
Looking at the logs from analysing a large corpus for img@alt usage on the top 10K sites, I'm surprised accessibility ever works at all :(

Replying to @null and @divya

That's easier since I just need to grep :) 1844 instances over 84 sites out of 8881 from the top 10K. Now you know!

Replying to @chaals

I don't know, I've always sucked at setting prices. I'd use it on and off but regularly. Yesterday it cost me 5 hours. @ndw
If you've tried writing (code, articles) on one of the 7" tablets I'd be interested in hearing your experience.

Replying to @helloanselm and @anselmhannemann

Even with a keyboard?

Replying to @null and @graouts

But presumably with a small external keyboard you could navigate more easily, e.g. with arrow keys, no?

I think that what I really want is a subnotebook to use in bed with a touch interface that Ashley can play with.

I used my Palm III as a glorified notebook, but haven't really found something to match since.
