WoT session at PBG meeting@TPAC Re: Agenda W3C [PBG] call for TPAC Meetings 10/13 and 10/14

Hi Ralph,

Further to the Liisa’s email earlier, at the WoT 30-mins discussion with the WoT WG people (Michael McCool - WoT co-chair, Sebastian Kaebisch - WoT co-chair, Michael Lagally WoT Architecture Editor, Kaz Ashimura -  W3C), we would like to provide PBG meeting participants to be exposed to what business opportunities could arise owing to WoT. 

Thanks to WoT, globally, device, system and media agnostic content experiences will occur. WoT is likely to contribute to the business of the publishing and content and media industry. It will relate to reading, watching, listening, playing and learning. If we can't relate to it, the very value of our existence could be missed out. To that end, I want to take this opportunity to introduce to the fellow PBG members to what is happening and who is involved in the process. 

There may be a feeling in the industry in general that publishing is distinctively unique and/or publishing content/rights can be exploited by people outside of the publishing if any new web experiences occur. However, at Publishing@W3C, there must be a reason that the members participate in W3C, not like any other publishing traditional industry organizations. Like what was discussed at the Manga Workshop a few year back in Tokyo, it is known that “publishing people” at W3C are enticed to discuss the multimedia/ multimodal content and UI, including integration with video media and audio interfaces. It would be relevant to all that beginning to pay attention and discuss potential use cases, since integration with devices is becoming more important. 

To make a long story short, we hope that the two PBG meetings will give chances of reaching out to something more relevant through the W3C experiences for exploring global publishing business interest.

I am grateful to Kaz Ashimura for supporting the idea of establishing access and interaction opportunity between WoT and PBG.

Best,

Daihei

We aren’t going to solve anything with two 90 minute conversations. But we are hoping to start to make some connections, bridge some gaps and address some of the questions we’ve heard directly about what people are interested in hearing from the business group.
>> Daihei can explain in more detail, but the purpose of the WOT discussion is to introduce more publishing people to the possibilities of how our content could be used for these technologies and what business could grow from that and to start to help the WOT co-chairs collect some use cases.
>> For the reading system discussions, we’d like to connect a few reading system folks with publishing folks to talk more about how features get determined and what content is not yet covered by a good experience so we could stop with the chicken and egg thing that has always plagued us and start more collectively working to figure out what makes sense to tackle next.
>> For the short topics, it is bringing new info or perspective to people who haven’t been engaged and or haven’t felt heard. We’re hearing that there are lots of folks who don’t entirely get what the EU accessibility work means for them, who don’t know what has been happening with educational publishing but see there are business opportunities there right now for possibly more players, for people who may not be engrained in the ecomic space but interested in understanding more how that is working in relation to the traditional manga/graphic novels and to discuss some things that have recently come up with the Japanese market using FXL for literary content rather and figuring out why.
>> I have confidence that with the time boxing here, we’re going to walk away with things that need further discussion and followup.
>> Thanks,
