DPUB ARIA 2.0 in a charter?

Joanmarie, Richard,

yes, you read the subject line well: we are just closing down DPUB ARIA 1.0 but we already talk about 2.0:-)

I am not sure you know, but the new Publishing@W3C initiative has begun to work on the chartering of a Digital Publishing Working Group; an initial charter text (which, obviously, will have to undergo lots of changes still) is at [1].

The charter, at this moment, includes a work item called DPUB-ARIA 2.0. This builds on top of the DPUB-ARIA 1.0 work. I think this is an issue that did come during the task force discussion: there are much more terms that the community uses, and moving them into the same framework as DPUB-ARIA is the right way to go (probably…).

Obviously, this is long term work. But, on the charter level, we have to decide on an administrative issue:

 "It must be decided whether this is a joint deliverable with the ARIA WG or not.".

Indeed, whilst for DPUB-ARIA 1.0 we did not have any other choice than publishing it under the ARIA Working Group (an IG cannot publish a standard), the situation is different now, and the new WG could take full responsibility. We actually may not have any other choice because, if I am not mistaken, the ARIA WG has just been rechartered, and it may not be possible to add a new work item.

However, I think this is an issue we will have to discuss and get an agreement between the two working groups on how we would liaise, communicate, etc (we will also have to agree on a proper text in the liaison part of the charter[3]). This mail is just the first contact on the subject…

WDYT?

Thanks

Ivan
