Hi, First, the notion is to maintain the database in XML and do the transform to HTML for use in browser or reading system. We have the XSLT for this now. If you recommend we convert to HTML now, we would need to be able to provide more semantics than is available now. The Summary is expected to be very short the long description could be very extensive, have tables, etc. We probably will add specific information for 3D printing.

Would you please elaborate on what specific aspects of Diagrammer you'd like us to mention? As you noted, the model is in XML. This assessment focuses on HTML. I assume the outcome will guide Diagrammer forward. For example, Diagrammer currently has elements called <d:summary> and <d:longdesc>. Is there a need for the equivalents of both?

I reviewed https://rawgit.com/w3c/dpub-accessibility/ivan-comment-on-analysis/extended- description-analysis.html First, the work taking place at the Diagram Center developing and maintaining Diagrammar: A Framework for Making Images and Graphics Accessible Should be noted IMO. This can address a wide range of enhancements envisioned in a structured environment. We envision the XML content being transformed to HTML for viewing in browsers and reading systems. http://diagramcenter.org/standards-and-practices/content-model.html Secondly, SVG is wonderful for many types of graphical content, but it is not suited for the range of enhancements that have been envisioned. It seems that the tables capture this. Finally, for EPUB 3.1 we note the action item for Matt that aria-describedat will be announced as deprecated. It would be excellent to attempt to resolve the mechanism for EPUB 3.1 developments. Hope this helps.

Please do a review and make the changes yourself, or send comments to me.

I put more time than I had to spare into building this document last week according to the plan we had decided upon in our last 2 meetings, and I do not have the time to produce an entire new section of content out of thin air in time for this document to be delivered in a timely fashion. The best I can offer is that if other people come up with values for that section, I can get them into the HTML; other people don't have to fight with HTML or github if you just send me plaintext or spreadsheet or something. I will add a specification of what is meant by "role", and I will incorporate Ivan's other changes.

Given the conversations with them privy to, they know far more than we do about the complexity of implementation. We would be giving them false information, where they have the expertise to know the actual answers. > > Unless they mean "complexity of implementation by content producers," > actually is our expertise. But if what they mean is "complexity of implementation by user agents and AT," well, that's where they are the experts in the conversation. > > Deborah >
