Remove duplicate items in value tables

[joanmarie]

N.B. Edited because this issue was subsequently split into two as described in comments.

The actions table of values has duplicate (and in some cases triplicate) values. For instance brightness appears in the following rows (where the header row is row 1):

• row 43: "brightness: change or show the settings for the brightness."
• row 70: "brightness: adjust the screen or application brightness. Often used with increase or decrease but is sometimes used alone as a menu name or item."
• row 76: "adjust the screen or application brightness. Often used with increase or decrease but is sometimes used alone as a menu name or item. EDITOR'S NOTE: At risk pending implemetions (sic)."

Other duplicates in actions:

• channel (appears three times)
• connect (appears two times)
• loop (appears two times)
• mediaPosition (appears two times)
• temperature (appears three times)
• volume (appears three times)

Duplicate in destination:

• related (appears two times)

Extra row in field:

• Beneath the bdayDay row, there is a row with the same description ("day of birthday") but no name value.

Thanks Joanmarie, I was aware of the sort order which is something that we were going to get to, as these were added in somewhat of a haphazard order due to common functionality themes. But I agree sort order is good. Will also look into the duplicates. Would you be able to file these as two separate issues please in our GitHub repo issue tracker<https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/issues> Thanks EOM Charles LaPierre Technical Lead, DIAGRAM and Born Accessible E-mail: charlesl@benetech.org<mailto:charlesl@benetech.org> Twitter: @CLaPierreA11Y Skype: charles_lapierre Phone: 650-600-3301 On Apr 10, 2018, at 6:26 AM, joanmarie <notifications@github.com<mailto:notifications@github.com>> wrote: Duplicate items The actions table of values has duplicate (and in some cases triplicate) values.

Two candidate orders spring to my mind: * Alphabetical * Functionality (email, purchases, media controls) Other orders might make more sense. But given the size of the list (64 items when duplicates have been removed), I think some arrangement will make the list easier to process. — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Done. Issue #67

[joanmarie]

Since I made a new issue for sorting, I edited the opening report and summary to make this issue just about duplicate items, and added a duplicate destination item.

Thank you so much for your comment. We think the new draft has addressed it. We reduced the values or renamed where appropriate to remove duplicate names/values. See https://www.w3.org/TR/personalization-semantics-content-1.0/

Here is a link to a sortable table to show the latest values has no duplicates.
