Dear Working Groups, At the very start of discussions about annotations, the use case for enhancing publications for accessibility was provided. There certainly will be items in Accessible EPUB or any other digital specification that will require enhancements; STEM materials, for example will need more elaboration than is provided in the accessible version that meets a baseline. At diagramcenter.org, a Diagrammar framework for making content accessible has been developed. We have been thinking that this content model would be transformed to structured HTML5 and used to annotate an item in a EPUB or other digital formats. I simply want to remind the working group of this fundamental use case. Best George George Kerscher Ph.D. -In our Information Age, access to information is a fundamental human right.
