 Adapt Symbols Workshop: Expert Overview Session Upcoming Confirmed
===================================================================

 06 May 2025, 11:00 -12:00 Europe/London

[ WAI Adapt Task Force ](https://www.w3.org/groups/tf/personalization-tf/calendar/)This is a specific part of the overall [Adapt Symbols Workshop](https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/bbc58010-4239-4aa9-8ef2-3c05344aaed9/), where we will present a summary of the work (use cases, implementation requirements) and any specific barriers we foresee. We will present a [draft matrix](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19AfygtoQ11uRFu1kBZWuwobKVa8N2GuZzvzDhOVjIa4/) that gives this overview from our current perspective before the call.

That being said, the details in the matrix are not so important for this call - we have produced the following list of questions we'd like to cover, to help us learn more about how symbols are used:

- How 'localisation' of symbols - e.g. to specific groups or regions (within a wider country/symbol set) - currently works.
- How personalised symbols for a specific person may be made and deployed.
- The extent to which a base symbol set may be customised for local, or individual considerations.
- Given that the first version of our proposed approach seeks minimal symbolisation for maximal results, what would be the most important content to highlight with symbols for our user population?
  
  
  - E.g. we are thinking of a single symbol per row, for chapters in videos, or step-by-step procedures; the symbol functions as a summary to aid comprehension.
- The sorts of technologies, graphics formats, used to provide symbols. Are popular symbol sets developed as vectors (even if released as bitmaps)?
