Hi Adam,
We're going to need you to address Marcos's earlier points before we can respond to any of your messages.
If you're not interested in a dialog, please stop spamming the list.

Subject: Re: Digital Textbooks and Locally-stored Student and Educational Data
W3C Technical Architecture Group,
A related topic is educational data and cloud storage, educational data such as notes. A browser topic, from a larger number of topics integrating browser software into platform-independent educational workflow scenarios, is interoperability with notes software. Interoperability between digital textbooks and notes software pertains to numerous topics including scholarly and scientific communication, referencing and citing content from documents in browsers, including to specific chapters, pages, paragraphs, sentences or selected hypertext.
A concern about notes software is cloud storage:
http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2014/01/08/15cloud_ep.h33.html http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/marketplacek12/2013/11/lawsuit_filed_in_new_york_to_halt_inbloom_program.html http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/DigitalEducation/2014/07/federal_data-privacy_guideline.html
It is important to discuss these topics at the W3C, that we can discuss these topics comfortably at the W3C, with digital textbook standards discussions ongoing at the W3C. Web scientists and technologists are cognizant of unfolding discussions elsewhere, points of view, various sides of discussion topics and cases and laws with regard to student data privacy. Scientists at the W3C include proponents of student data privacy; protecting student data privacy is a part of the discussions pertinent to unfolding digital textbook standards.
Though Web-based applications are popular at the W3C, browser interoperability with multivendor desktop applications facilitates educational workflow scenarios with local storage and computation. Complexities to browser interoperability, interprocess communication, with desktop applications include that each browser software is designed for and compiled for numerous platforms and that each platform has different component object and interprocess architectures. Interprocess communication is platform-specific, e.g. iOS, Android and Windows.
The desired features for digital textbooks, advancing digital textbook features, pertain to interprocess communication with multivendor desktop applications which combine into educational workflow scenarios. The features are visible to digital textbook teams as specified markup, scripting, API. The features are implemented by browser teams and the topical interprocess communication features vary per platform. There are logistical complexities and coordinative challenges to getting the digital textbooks technologies towards having the large set of features to where digital textbooks are fluidly interoperable with multivendor applications, in educational workflows. With the web browsers as the digital textbook rendering software, numerous such features can enhanced web browsing user experiences as well.
Summarily, interprocess communication between browsers and multivendor desktop applications on each major platform, applications providing local storage and computation, is topical to providing students with data privacy while facilitating and enhancing the features of educational workflow scenarios.
Discussion topics include how to include digital textbooks, standard formats rendered in browsers, and their existing and emerging new features in multivendor, multi-application, educational workflows across platforms.
Kind regards,
Adam Sobieski
