=== data tables
15:04:03 [wendy]
data tables vs layout tables
15:04:23 [wendy]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2004JanMar/0230.html
15:05:06 [wendy]
if the cell meaning changes, then you have to use headers. don't make the distinction between data and layout.

zakim, who's making noise?
15:06:35 [Zakim]
wendy, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: 6 (38%), [Microsoft] (81%), Ben (4%)
15:06:44 [wendy]
zakim, who's on the phone?
15:06:44 [Zakim]
On the phone I see [Microsoft], Don_Evans, Dave_MacDonald, Chris_Ridpath, Ben, Wendy
15:06:50 [wendy]
6?
15:07:05 [wendy]
need diff to explain diff between headers
15:07:10 [wendy]
ack Microsoft
15:07:14 [ben]
q+
15:07:28 [wendy]
ack [Microsoft]
15:07:43 [wendy]
instead, there are some tables that require headers and some that don't.
15:08:02 [wendy]
ack Dave
15:08:17 [wendy]
no advantage to leave out the concepts data and layout

author decision tree: multiple techniques for diff types of table

q+ to say "linearization"

ack wendy
15:10:34 [Zakim]
wendy, you wanted to say "linearization"
15:11:17 [wendy]
perhaps not so much that cells can exist on its own, but they can exist in a linear order that makes sense. can apply to some data tables as well.
15:11:25 [wendy]
keeping concept of data and layout good idaes.
15:12:01 [wendy]
create specific techniques/examples to help clarify gray area
15:13:31 [wendy]
action items: develop techniques to explain. find real-world examples.
15:14:26 [wendy]
action: chris look for real-world examples that use structural markup in tables and other examples that blur line between data and layout.
15:14:33 [wendy]
action: wendy ask joe about his list of tables
15:14:44 [Zakim]
+??P31
15:14:51 [wendy]
zakim, ??P31
15:14:51 [Zakim]
I don't understand '??P31', wendy
15:15:00 [wendy]
zakim, ??P31 is Lisa_Seeman
15:15:00 [Zakim]
+Lisa_Seeman; got it
15:15:50 [wendy]
question about how jaws handles tables
15:16:45 [wendy]
=== RDF Techniques
15:16:47 [wendy]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2004JanMar/0192.html
15:18:18 [wendy]
seems that many of the examples could be techniques that could be developed further.
15:22:11 [wendy]
current 2.1 and 2.2 are more introductory (user scenarios) rather than techniques
15:22:36 [wendy]
break up 3.1 into 10 separate techniques/tasks rather than all examples for 3.1
15:26:19 [wendy]
action jenae: look at RDF TEchniques with testability in mind
15:27:41 [wendy]
like the introductions to each major section. think we should use that in other documents.
15:30:45 [wendy]
are people happy with the top level categories?
15:32:38 [wendy]
How much detail to include in the document (are we going to assume
15:32:38 [wendy]
understand gateway techniques before read RDF techniques? Do we assume
15:32:38 [wendy]
they understand RDF, do we write it in such away that knowledge of RDF
15:32:38 [wendy]
is not necessary?
15:32:48 [wendy]
paragraph about what RDF is, is useful
15:33:11 [wendy]
don't expect to teach people RDF, but intro level, point them to resources to learn more. then return here to find out how to do accessibly
15:34:10 [wendy]
are there things you can do in rdf that would make content inaccessible?
15:36:10 [wendy]
since describing relationships between things, probably nothing that would create accessibility barrier
15:38:46 [wendy]
4.2 - would like example that shows what to do for a business web site. this example seems limited to educational setting.
15:38:57 [wendy]
annotate every word?
15:39:56 [wendy]
there are a couple of technologies and approaches to annotating. should we create a task force to make an ontology?
15:43:25 [wendy]
not in scope for wcag wg charter http://www.w3.org/2003/08/wcag-charter.html
15:43:33 [wendy]
wwaac more appropriate venue?
15:44:17 [wendy]
action: lisa and wendy talk more about process issues related to developing an ontology
15:44:39 [wendy]
it is a nice idea, good example. good for people to know about.
15:47:37 [wendy]
next steps: develop introduction, use cases
15:51:33 [wendy]
general feeling: good to see the document taking shape.
15:52:15 [wendy]
action: wendy send lisa markpu suggestions

16:00:04 [wendy]
are all of those names implemented?
16:00:17 [wendy]
orange is missing
16:00:29 [wendy]
don't imply use the 16 names and limit self to that
16:04:21 [wendy]
web safe colors?
16:04:48 [wendy]
these are about how many colors can monitor display (i.e., 256 or millions). as monitors get better, less of an issue
16:06:34 [wendy]
action wendy: find out list of color names (is it only the 16 from css specs, e.g., orange?) propose technique for css techs
