FW: DPUB AAM

A question for the brainy lot of you:

I am looking at the DPUB AAM [1, 2] work that Joseph did and hoping to get to some myself before our DPUB ARIA call this week. This is rather unfamiliar ground for me, so please be patient.

My method is looking at the work Joseph has done against the DPUB roles [3, 4]. I then looked at the superclasses for the roles and their definitions in the HTML AAM. These two roles are very different. Chapter is a subclass of landmark, an abstract role. I see that the HTML AAM says not to make to abstract roles, but I'm not sure how to handle the roles that subclass abstract roles. I know Joseph mentioned reading documentation for each API, but I was kind of hoping to avoid that. Any other way?

TOC is a subclass of navigation, and it just points to HTML AAM navigation definition [5]. Is this the right method for all non-abstract roles?

I'd appreciate any tips.

Thanks,
Tzviya
