The draft guide for GL 1.2 L3 SC1, Sign language interpretation is
provided for multimedia [1], is posted in the WCAG Wiki.
The address is:
http://trace.wisc.edu/wcag_wiki/index.php?title=Guide_to_1.2_L3_SC1
I included some comments and questions within the content.
I searched the web and really didn't find too much about creating sign
language interpretation for use on the web. Loretta had suggested a
general technique about how to create good sign language interpretation. I
really didn't find much general information about this other than
institutions which offer courses in sign language interpretation. Thus,
I'm not sure we can provide a general technique or a link. We do have
the SMIL techniques that Loretta provided. Is it sufficient to provide
only technology specific techniques for this Success Criteria? The lack of
techniques and any concrete examples of this on the web makes me question
the success criterion itself.
The Other Resources section contains several links - are there too many? I
did include some that are businesses which offer video interpretation over
the web but am a bit concerned about referencing businesses. What do
people think, should these be included?
I did include the reference on guidelines for signing books that John
mentioned since it provided information on how to film a sign language
interpreter. I considered this as a general technique but was hesitant
because it really was not directly related to the web. Does it belong as
either a sufficient or an advisory technique?
I also couldn't find a good reference to Signing Gesture Markup Language
(SIGML) to include here.
thanks,
