RE: Spatial Data on the Web Best Practice maintenance

Hi Linda,

> We said during the last call[1] that it would be on the agenda for next time, so yes, I can confirm that!
Thank you, I was hoping that was the case

> However, Jeremy and I have not put together an agenda yet so I can't say exactly how much time you'll have. I would imagine 15 minutes or so - would that work?
Yes, I can certainly work with 15 minutes.  I'll try to keep it a bit shorter so that questions can be raised in the allotted time.  I know it will be later for everyone in Europe.

> For one I'm very interested to find out more about Maps for HTML. I'm also thinking about accessibility of spatial data and maps and that Maps for HTML could perhaps be helpful in that area... I don't know, but it sounds like it might.
I hope so!  I hope people with a professional perspective on accessibility can help us with this aspect, since MapML is intended as a sibling  to HTML, which itself has accessibility 'baked in'; I guess we have to establish what accessibility can and should mean for maps and use HTML as a guide.


Thanks,
Peter
