WAI appendix

Original comment - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webcgm-wg/2006Aug/0064.html

Proposed appendix - http://www.w3.org/Graphics/WebCGM/WG/2006/wai-appendix.html

History - WAI comments arrived shortly after end of f2f. Lofton then drafted appendix as a response

WAI group subsequently approved the proposed appendix and the WebCGM WG will work with them for a way forward during CR

CR is scheduled to end Oct 6, so we have 3+ weeks to perform this work

During this telecon we will go through the comments from Al and discuss them

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webcgm-wg/2006Sep/0015

Lofton - the goal of the appendix should be to raise the awareness of requirements for accessibiility

<scribe> ACTION: Al to share link to visual workshop

<trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - Al

Resolution: Al Gilman will share link to visual workshop

<lofton> AG: crux of the problem is to find navigation mode to help explore scene graph of articulable objects (fair summary?)

<lofton> http://www.cgmopen.org/technical/webcgmchoice-slides.pdf

<Chris> so can someone take an action to give some real-world examples of WebCGM 2.0?

<scribe> ACTION: Dave to provide example of typicall technical illustrations, CGM and some raster format

<trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - dc

<Chris> trackbot, status?

<scribe> ACTION: David to provide example of typicall technical illustrations, CGM and some raster format

<trackbot> Created ACTION-20 - Provide example of typicall technical illustrations, CGM and some raster format [on David Cruikshank - due 2006-09-14].

Concept of natural navigation through something like a technical illustration dealing with disassembly instructions

moving from a locator to a detail to a further detail, etc

Lofton - Al's message has two parts

Lofton - part 1 is a larger wide view section that is probably a long term view for WebCGM

Lofton - part 2 consists of 5 points that we should concentrate on

Al - We should only deal with points that have a 50% chance of success during CR

<lofton> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webcgm-wg/2006Sep/0015

Lofton - Point 1 - it appears we have gathered together the main points

Al - yes, 80% - this was a pleasant supprise

Lofton - Point 2 addresses navigation through a technical graphic - we may not have fully addressed this issue in the appendix

Lofton - we are willing to discuss how we need to modify the statement in the appendix to address this

Al - WebCGM needs to expose the structure and the structure used to navigate may be different from the CGM structure

Al - something like a tree-structured TOC to aid navigation intent

Al - navigation may be user dependent

Lofton - can Al propose a descrete modification to the resolution statement here?

Al - instant answer, yes, but there may be more.

Al - we will be imited for what we can do in preparation for PR, but there may be somethings that will be intended for 2.1 or 3.

Lofton - providing alternative access modes, like keyboard access may be something that we can add to the appendix

Lofton - a navigatble TOC or even backwards order

Lofton - this could be a first step to amend the appendix

Lofton - this appendix will be a new introductory primer level to a lot of people in this community

Al - maybe up to 3 navigation modes (hierartical TOC, etc)

Ben - hearing that the authoring tools need to add more metadata to the file to aid navigation

Al, with Lofton's help, will provide a proposal for reworking the wording in the appendix

<lofton> ...specifically: alternative wording for the suggestion of sequential, document order keyboard navigation through a picture's objects.

Lofton - Point 3 on alt-like features

kentarou - make alt native in format

Lofton - 2.1 or 3.0 extension

Al - maybe take same approach SVG does

Lofton - integration pan zoom controls may operation contrary to accessibility requirements

Lofton - but t his viewer behavior is specified in WebCGM

Lofton - can Al expand on this a little on how to address this potential problem

Al - this is a long term thing that should not affect the PR appendix, but we can continue to work on it.

Al - webcgm object that have behaviors should act like embedded object in t he compound document sense on how it interacts with other objects

Lofton - What we have said in the appendix is probably ok, for PR

Lofton - 1st point 5, last paragraph - extensibility

Al - t his is probably a 2.1or 3.0 work item,

Lofton - no need to do anything in appendix on this subject for PR text

Lofton - action item due dates - early in the day Wednesday, Sep 13

<scribe> ACTION: Lofton to provide starting place for plugins to WAI

<trackbot> Created ACTION-21 - Provide starting place for plugins to WAI [on Lofton Henderson - due 2006-09-14].

All action items will go through our WG group list with cc to Al

<lofton> chris?

<lofton> Dave doesn't seem to be getting any response to "make minutes"
