RE: digital publishing accessibility brainstorming

Hi,

The Open Annotations spec should help:
http://www.idpf.org/epub/oa/

search for target and you can get the idea how a spot in a EPUB can be identified.

The bibliographic reference is another item. I am not sure where that has been defined, e.g. how does one officially provide a reference to a publication that would normally appear in a footnote.

Some questions around pagination:
How does one do citations of portions of Digital publications?
How can we confirm  that two people, reading digital publications on two
different devices with different amounts of screen space (or no screen
space) are reading the same section of a book?

On Friday at 4 Eastern on March20,
The Zakim bridge number is +1.617.761.6200.
The code conference is 3782 ("DPUB"), followed by the # key.Hi Deborah,

Regarding "Ink Print Pages" (IPP), for legacy materials like those in the
Hathi Trust collection, I believe that this type of navigation is
essential.

Currently when organizations provide alternative versions of print
publications, the relationship to IPP was essential. However, as we
transition to digital, this is getting confusing. Perhaps we should be
providing more guidance.

Where there is a split (in the classroom)between print publications and
the digital version, I think it is important, but perhaps not essential.

For publications that are primarily digital, the relationship to IPP is
not important at all.

In the area of annotations, the functionality of providing enhancements to
images and other graphical content is very interesting. We have seen the
annotations as a great way to provide additional information that would
not be provided in the original publication. The DIAGRAMMAR techniques are
especially interesting in this domain.

Best
George

Hello, team!

Thank you for all the hard work you have done helping us go through the
WCAG

guidelines to talk about which ones were relevant to digital publishing.
Now
we
want to come at the exact same question from the opposite direction: what
are
digital publishing concerns which might not be addressed by existing W3C
guidelines. To start with, we would really just like you to brainstorm in
this
email thread about what some concerns of digital publishing actually
*are*,
from big picture to micro, from very abstract to very specific. Linking to

existing lists is great, or just reeling things off is also useful.

I'm going to start us off with saying just a few things that I've been
thinking
about lately:

* Pagination
* annotation
* internationalization

I know, those are all pretty big picture. :-)

Let's see if we can get a discussion going and a list to talk about over
the course of this next week, aiming to have a finalized list by a week
from today, Friday 20 March.

Deborah
