- 20:11:26 [Zakim]
- I don't understand 'who is on the speaker queue', james
- 20:11:33 [Andi]
- their definition is different from ours - orthogonal - not same dimension we are using it in
- 20:11:40 [james]
- q?
- 20:11:47 [james]
- q- JS
- 20:11:54 [james]
- q- alt
- 20:11:59 [Andi]
- arose at the last f-2-f
- 20:12:08 [Andi]
- haven't figured out if it works but have been exploring it
- 20:12:23 [Andi]
- way to talk about conformance
- 20:13:12 [Andi]
- authored chunk to us is something that has a uri, not a "#" uri within another one
- 20:13:38 [Andi]
- can contain other authored chunks
- 20:14:26 [Andi]
- conformance of an authored chunk is dependent on the conformance of the other chunks it contains
- 20:15:22 [Zakim]
- +[Microsoft]
- 20:15:33 [Andi]
- Wendy speaking about differences between our use and DI use
- 20:15:50 [Yvette_Hoitink]
- q?
- 20:15:57 [Andi]
- we're trying to describe how to collect components in order to make a conformance claim
- 20:16:33 [Andi]
- person who creates the image might be different from the person who writes the alt text
- 20:16:48 [Andi]
- image and alt text is a collection that might be included in a larger collection
- 20:17:07 [wendy]
- zakim, [Microsoft] is Mike_Barta

- +Mike_Barta; got it

- Wendy proposes "collection of authored units"
- 20:17:22 [sh1m]
- q+
- 20:17:29 [Andi]
- Gregg speaking
- 20:18:02 [Andi]
- Wendy are you suggesting we use "collection of authored units" as the term or that we come up with a new term
- 20:18:14 [wendy]
- ack [Microsoft]
- 20:18:17 [Andi]
- Wendy - think it's okay to use "collection of authored units"
- 20:18:35 [bcaldwell]
- zakim, [Microsoft] is Mike_Barta
- 20:18:35 [Zakim]
- sorry, bcaldwell, I do not recognize a party named '[Microsoft]'
- 20:18:43 [sh1m]
- ack tom
- 20:19:03 [Andi]
- Tom - agree with Wendy - talking about compositions of authored units
- 20:19:49 [Andi]
- DI did not intend for authored unit to refer to a collection of authored units
- 20:21:21 [Andi]
- Gregg - if authored unit contains other authored units, then an authored unit is a collection of authored units with additional information
- 20:21:41 [sh1m]
- q+ to say thats why I like the term composition
- 20:21:48 [sh1m]
- q-
- 20:23:00 [Andi]
- Wendy believes that authored unit does work for us - doesn't understand the DI issue
- 20:23:03 [bcaldwell]
- ack Alex
- 20:24:33 [Zakim]
- -Robert_Fentress
- 20:24:37 [Andi]
- Wendy - DI covers both aggregation of content and converting content
- 20:25:30 [Andi]
- Gregg - DI says "authored unit" has multiple modes of perception depending on delivery
- 20:25:42 [Andi]
- might look different if fetched by computer, PDA, or phone
- 20:25:45 [Andi]
- also might change over time
- 20:25:55 [wendy]
- q?
- 20:25:59 [Andi]
- changing over time fits our definition
- 20:26:29 [Andi]
- our use of it also allowed for content negotiation
- 20:26:34 [sh1m]
- q+ to say that content negociation doesn't work that way
- 20:26:36 [sh1m]
- ack tom
- 20:26:37 [Zakim]
- Tom, you wanted to say that content negociation doesn't work that way
- 20:26:54 [Andi]
- Tom - does not agree that our use covers content negotiation
- 20:27:04 [Yvette_Hoitink]
- zakim, mute me
- 20:27:04 [Zakim]
- Yvette_Hoitink should now be muted
- 20:27:13 [Andi]
- issues with definition of URI and concept of content negotiation
- 20:28:16 [Andi]
- DI definition includes content that is not human authored; that is, delivered from a database perhaps
- 20:28:21 [wendy]
- q+ to "clarify the diff pieces for DI"
- 20:29:10 [Andi]
- Wendy - DI has separated between the chunks of material an author creates (authored units)
- 20:29:25 [Andi]
- chunks delivered to the device (delivered units)
- 20:29:34 [Andi]
- and the chunks perceived by the user (perceived units)
- 20:29:52 [sh1m]
- q+
- 20:30:00 [Andi]
- we may be talking about combining authored and delivered units, and maybe the perceived unit too
- 20:30:01 [wendy]
- ack wendy
- 20:30:01 [Zakim]
- wendy, you wanted to "clarify the diff pieces for DI"
- 20:31:12 [Andi]
- Tom - can have a case where the template can enforce accessibility on the delivered unit
- 20:31:47 [wendy]
- Delivery Unit
- 20:31:47 [wendy]
- A set of material transfered between two cooperating web programs as the response to a single HTTP request. The transfer might, for example, be between an origin server and a user agent.
- 20:31:47 [wendy]
- Users are not normally aware of individual delivery units.
- 20:31:56 [Andi]
- aggregation - hard to make claims on the delivered unit because can't guarantee that the authored units that are aggregated are conforming
- 20:32:06 [Zakim]
- +Loretta_Guarino_Reid
- 20:32:11 [Andi]
- Gregg - thinks we want to talk about delivered unit
- 20:32:15 [wendy]
- http://www.w3.org/TR/di-gloss/
- 20:32:24 [wendy]
- Delivery Context
- 20:32:24 [wendy]
- A set of attributes that characterizes the capabilities of the access mechanism and the preferences of the user
- 20:32:32 [Andi]
- if delivered unit is accessible, doesn't matter if the authored unit was accessible or not
- 20:33:01 [Andi]
- content may be in content management system but are run through a process that makes them accessible
- 20:33:41 [wendy]
- Perceivable Unit
- 20:33:41 [wendy]
- A set of material which, when rendered by a user agent, may be perceived by a user and with which interaction may be possible.
- 20:33:41 [wendy]
- User agents may choose to render some or all of the material they receive in a delivery unit unit as a single perceivable unit or as multiple perceivable units.
- 20:33:41 [wendy]
- Most perceivable units provide both presentation and the means for interaction. However, on some types of device, such as printers, perceivable units might contain only presentation.
- 20:33:51 [sh1m]
- q+ to ask about conformance
- 20:33:55 [Andi]
- how do you make conformance claims on a delivered unit
- 20:34:17 [Andi]
- maybe we use "served unit"
- 20:35:28 [Andi]
- Wendy reads definition of "Delivery Unit"
- 20:35:39 [Andi]
- also consider "delivery context"
- 20:36:42 [Andi]
- Tom - user profile allows users to request a piece of content that is particular to their needs but might be inaccessible to someone else
- 20:37:03 [Andi]
- Gregg - should be able to negotiate for one that meets the WCAG guidelines
- 20:37:34 [Andi]
- person serving content is not responsible for what happens to it in the pipeline
- 20:37:39 [Yvette_Hoitink]
- q+ to say "page?'
- 20:37:50 [Andi]
- Wendy clarifies that it is "delivery unit", not "delivered unit"
- 20:38:11 [Andi]
- Gregg - what is delivered by default must be accessible.
- 20:38:38 [Andi]
- even if it is possible to negotiate for a version that is not accessible
- 20:39:38 [Andi]
- Tom - should still be able to make a claim for an authored unit if you can guarantee it will conform
- 20:40:00 [Andi]
- Gregg - what would be the purpose of making a claim on the authored unit
- 20:40:10 [Andi]
- Wendy - important for aggregation
- 20:40:30 [Andi]
- AOL provides the delivery unit for various authored units
- 20:40:38 [Andi]
- syndicators provide claims on the authored units
- 20:40:47 [Andi]
- AOL can then make a claim on the delivery unit
- 20:41:07 [bcaldwell]
- q+
- 20:41:50 [sh1m]
- q-
- 20:41:52 [Andi]
- Gregg - if syndicators deliver accessible authored units, aggregator may strip out accessibility information
- 20:42:07 [Michael]
- zakim, mute me
- 20:42:07 [Zakim]
- Michael_Cooper should now be muted
- 20:42:07 [Andi]
- aggregator could also add accessibility information to syndicated authored units
- 20:42:15 [Andi]
- so what really matters is the delivery unit
- 20:42:15 [Yvette_Hoitink]
- zakim, unmute me
- 20:42:15 [Zakim]
- Yvette_Hoitink should no longer be muted
- 20:42:29 [james]
- q+ to say "but it may be a business rule that AOL would only accept accessible authored units"
- 20:42:32 [Andi]
- easier for aggregators if authored units come in with conformance claims
- 20:43:16 [Andi]
- Gregg - delivery unit is the only thing that really matters but it is useful to those creating the delivery units if the authored units have conformance claims
- 20:43:17 [wendy]
- ack yvette
- 20:43:17 [Zakim]
- Yvette_Hoitink, you wanted to say "page?'
- 20:43:24 [sh1m]
- q+ to talk about other use cases
- 20:44:04 [Andi]
- Yvette - difficult to understand this concept
- 20:44:13 [Andi]
- Gregg - a delivery unit is that what you get form a URI
- 20:44:53 [Andi]
- Yvette - delivery unit is non-HTML specific version of "page"
- 20:45:32 [wendy]
- ack bcaldwell
- 20:45:42 [Andi]
- Ben - don't see the distinction
- 20:45:55 [Andi]
- syndicators deliver a unit to AOL which they pass on
- 20:46:11 [Andi]
- image by itself can't be accessible
- 20:46:23 [Andi]
- must be combined with alt text
- 20:46:55 [Andi]
- Gregg - if you don't actually deliver content but you sell content to those who do deliver it
- 20:47:24 [Andi]
- wouldn't it be good to say that your authored unit (aggregate delivered unit) will be accessible when delivered
- 20:48:03 [Andi]
- Tom - many ways that something could be delivered
- 20:48:07 [wendy]
- ack Mike
- 20:48:36 [Andi]
- Mike - if you receive something and you strip out something, it is a new authored unit and you are responsible for the claim
- 20:48:56 [Andi]
- still useful to have the claim on the original authored unit
- 20:49:00 [Yvette_Hoitink]
- zakim, mute me
- 20:49:00 [Zakim]
- Yvette_Hoitink should now be muted
- 20:49:14 [Andi]
- Gregg - claims are all on delivery units
- 20:49:19 [james]
- q-
- 20:49:27 [gregg]
- q+
- 20:49:28 [Andi]
- either content delivered from someone else that I re-deliver or something that I authored
- 20:49:36 [wendy]
- q+ to ask, "are RSS feeds http requests?"
- 20:50:13 [wendy]
- ack tom
- 20:50:13 [Zakim]
- Tom, you wanted to talk about other use cases
- 20:50:29 [Andi]
- Tom - need to be able to make claims about content management systems
- 20:50:52 [Andi]
- possible to define CM system so that it is impossible to deliver inaccessible content from it
- 20:51:18 [Andi]
- helpful if people can make conformance claims against something that is more abstract
- 20:51:32 [wendy]
- ack gregg
- 20:51:37 [Andi]
- shouldn't prevent people from making claims against authored units
- 20:52:26 [Andi]
- Gregg - want to guard against people making claims against authored units that might not be delivered in an accessible way
- 20:53:32 [Andi]
- user only cares about the deliverey unit
- 20:54:16 [Andi]
- Wendy - looking at definition of delivery unit, still have sense that there is a difference for aggregators
- 20:54:52 [Andi]
- still thinks that what content providers are providing is authored unit
- 20:55:11 [wendy]
- ack wendy
- 20:55:11 [Zakim]
- wendy, you wanted to ask, "are RSS feeds http requests?"
- 20:55:15 [Yvette_Hoitink]
- zakim, mute me
- 20:55:15 [Zakim]
- Yvette_Hoitink was already muted, Yvette_Hoitink
- 20:55:28 [Andi]
- Alex - example - if intellectual property belongs to someone else, aggregator would have limited ability to alter it
- 20:55:44 [Andi]
- similar to Reuters where IP belongs to someone else and you host it
- 20:55:57 [Andi]
- does that put aggregator in a position where they can't make a claim
- 20:56:08 [james]
- q+ to say wendy, the rss feeds are still "delivery units" even though the "receiving user" is a program aggregating those feeds into another "delivery unit"
- 20:56:19 [Andi]
- Gregg - if you buy inaccessible content, may make it impossible for you to make a claim
- 20:57:05 [wendy]
- james, thanks. but are rss feeds "responses to a single http request?" if so, then they don't meet the current defn of delivery unit:
- 20:57:05 [wendy]
- Delivery Unit
- 20:57:05 [wendy]
- A set of material transfered between two cooperating web programs as the response to a single HTTP request. The transfer might, for example, be between an origin server and a user agent.
- 20:57:05 [wendy]
- Users are not normally aware of individual delivery units.
- 20:57:13 [Andi]
- aggregators would like to be able to ask sources to send accessible content
- 20:57:25 [wendy]
- s/if so,/if not,
- 20:57:28 [Andi]
- in order to make claim based on contractual agreements
- 20:57:43 [Andi]
- accessibility is not about "effort", it's about "actual"
- 20:57:52 [Zakim]
- -Mike_Barta
- 20:58:22 [Andi]
- legislators can decide if doesn't have to be accessible because of undue burden
- 20:58:38 [Andi]
- Alex - can't alter someone's IP material
- 20:59:07 [Andi]
- copyright law allows you to change someone's content in order to make it accessible
- 21:00:20 [wendy]
- q?
- 21:00:23 [wendy]
- ack James
- 21:00:23 [Zakim]
- James_Craig, you wanted to say wendy, the rss feeds are still "delivery units" even though the "receiving user" is a program aggregating those feeds into another "delivery unit"
- 21:00:45 [Andi]
- James - RSS feed is still a delivery unit even though not delivered to a human user
- 21:01:40 [Andi]
- Wendy - definition of delivery unit talks about between two computers in response to a single http request
- 21:01:46 [Andi]
- does this fit RSS feeds
- 21:01:52 [Andi]
- James - yes, in my experience
- 21:02:09 [Andi]
- Wendy - if RSS feeds meet the definition of delivery unit then agree that this is a good term to use
- 21:02:30 [MattSEA]
- q+
- 21:02:42 [Andi]
- Gregg - we said it's something you get from a URI. DI says it's a single http request
- 21:02:58 [bengt]
- isnt it URL
- 21:02:58 [Andi]
- can you get something from a single http request that is not from a URI
- 21:03:14 [Andi]
- URI includes http but is not limited to http
- 21:03:33 [Andi]
- http is the protocol you use to access the authored (or delivery) unit
- 21:03:55 [Andi]
- Wendy - go back to DI group and validate use of delivery unit in our context
- 21:04:27 [james]
- bengt, URL (locator) and URI (identifier) have a slightly semantic difference...
- 21:04:49 [Andi]
- Gregg - anything that is not http is out of our scope
- 21:05:07 [bengt]
- james, yes http gets from URL ? URI is more than both ?
- 21:05:10 [Andi]
- James - what about video rt<something?>
- 21:05:16 [wendy]
- ack matt
- 21:05:18 [james]
- RTSP
- 21:05:22 [Andi]
- Gregg - doesn't meet the definition of delivery content - single http request
- 21:05:36 [james]
- real time streaming protocol... SMIL, RM, etc
- 21:05:54 [Andi]
- from James - rt<something> is rtsp
- 21:06:27 [MattSEA]
- RSS is not a final-form language.
- 21:06:41 [MattSEA]
- Like SOAP, it carries a payload which can be accessible content or not.
- 21:06:42 [james]
- it is in my rss reader
- 21:07:02 [MattSEA]
- It is not intended to be referenceable by a URI, for example.
- 21:07:08 [MattSEA]
- Rather it points _to_ a URI containing full content.
- 21:07:08 [MattSEA]
- ga
- 21:07:14 [Andi]
- Wendy - do I need to re-type this for the minutes?
- 21:08:37 [MattSEA]
- no
- 21:08:50 [MattSEA]
- yes
- 21:08:58 [MattSEA]
- One HTTP call brings down the feed for an entire site.

- Gregg - how did rtsp movie get initiated?
- 21:09:15 [MattSEA]
- For RTSP, you usually send something over HTTP to get a pointer.

- 21:10:25 [Andi]
- Gregg - trying to get closure on term
- 21:10:48 [Andi]
- delivery unit seems to work but it's definition includes "delivered by a single http request"
- 21:10:51 [wendy]
- q+ to say, "you have a template (an authored unit) that generates content. you could make a claim on the authored unit for WCAG and the process that fills in the template for ATAG and then those together is the delivery unit"
- 21:11:12 [Andi]
- want to make sure it covers other kinds of streaming media transferred via different kinds of requests
- 21:11:54 [Andi]
- Matt - protocol is irrelavant to accessiblity
- 21:12:15 [Andi]
- Gregg - know it is transferred in other formats and accessibility is not affected by protocol
- 21:12:19 [wendy]
- issue: delivery unit brings up issues related to web services and overlap with atag
- 21:13:17 [Andi]
- but delivery unit defined as http so we are trying to determine if can use delivery unit term for these types of content
- 21:13:46 [Andi]
- Matt - really talking about content that can be returned as result of URI request
- 21:14:13 [Yvette_Hoitink]
- zakim, unmute me
- 21:14:13 [Zakim]
- Yvette_Hoitink should no longer be muted
- 21:14:34 [Andi]
- Gregg - if DI group says we can use delivery unit for something that is delivered as the result of a single URI request, then are we okay using that term?
- 21:15:39 [Andi]
- action: ask DI group if delivery unit can be used to for content that is delivered as the result of a single URI request
- 21:15:45 [sh1m]
- any idea when?
- 21:16:51 [Andi]
- Gregg, Wendy, Tom, James, Matt, Mike will pursue with DI group - get on their agenda next Wednesday 1500 UTC (10 Eastern)
- 21:16:57 [Andi]
- same time as techniques task force
- 21:17:25 [Andi]
- action: Gregg e-mail to DI chair to propose getting time on their agenda next week
- 21:17:31 [wendy]
- action: Gregg send email to Rhys to request 1/2 hour of agenda to discuss authored unit at their call next week (10 am Eastern)
- 21:17:50 [Andi]
- Gregg is hoping for a short discussion :)
- 21:18:07 [wendy]

- 21:18:07 [Zakim]
- wendy, you wanted to say, "you have a template (an authored unit) that generates content. you could make a claim on the authored unit for WCAG and the process that fills in the
- 21:18:10 [Zakim]
- ... template for ATAG and then those together is the delivery unit"
- 21:21:43 [Andi]
- Wendy - just breaking it down into which parts have to conform to WCAG and which parts have to conform to ATAG
- 21:22:52 [Andi]
- trying to define how to combine ATAG piece in the conformance claim for content that comes from a content management system
- 21:23:29 [sh1m]
- q+
- 21:24:01 [Andi]
- Tom - with flat html file can make claim against delivery unit
- 21:24:25 [Andi]
- but for dynamic content, not reasonable to make delivery unit claim when there is potential for pages to become inaccessible
- 21:24:37 [Andi]
- need mechanism that shows why it is accessible
- 21:24:55 [Andi]
- pieces of content that are plugged into a template that meets WCAG
- 21:25:10 [gregg]
- q+
- 21:25:12 [Andi]
- process for plugging the content into the template conforms to ATAG
- 21:25:18 [gregg]
- ack tom
- 21:25:56 [Andi]
- Gregg - nothing in guideline that allows you to claim a template is compliant
- 21:26:41 [Andi]
- using ATAG compliant generator does not guarantee WCAG compliant content
- 21:27:40 [wendy]
- q+ to "wrap up"
- 21:27:52 [Andi]
- Tom - trying to propose something that is more than just a promise of conformance
- 21:27:53 [wendy]
- i think i have an idea for action for me, tom, matt and auwg
- 21:28:06 [Andi]
- feasible to test a template for WCAG conformance
- 21:28:13 [Andi]
- feasible to test something for ATAG conformance
- 21:28:40 [Andi]
- not feasible to test something that is dynamically generated frequently for WCAG conformance
- 21:28:52 [gregg]
- ack gregg
- 21:28:55 [Andi]
- Wendy - this is a big issue
- 21:28:58 [gregg]
- ack wendy
- 21:28:58 [Zakim]
- wendy, you wanted to "wrap up"
- 21:29:06 [Andi]
- Tom and Wendy willing to take action item
- 21:29:26 [Andi]
- first issue is how to reference ATAG from WCAG - specific request from ATAG at f-2-f
- 21:29:39 [gregg]
- q+
- 21:29:51 [Andi]
- second - need to work with ATAG group to understand how to make conformance claims for content management systems
- 21:30:07 [Andi]
- third - go through concrete example - maybe ATAG has already done this
- 21:30:28 [sh1m]
- ack matt
- 21:30:39 [Andi]
- Matt - agree with Wendy
- 21:31:09 [Andi]
- in order to conform to ATAG, authoring tool has to check for accessibility at a certain level and prompt for content needed for accessibility
- 21:31:42 [wendy]
- action: matt, wendy, tom: how ref atag from wcag, conformance claims for wcag/atag, concrete example to demonstrate overlap (to help raise awareness of relationship between the two, primarily within WCAG WG since ATAG fairly aware due to dependence on WCAG) also joint action with AUWG to agree on solution.
- 21:31:43 [Andi]
- can't measure 100% on the delivery context because that changes from session to session
- 21:32:14 [sh1m]
- ack greggg
- 21:32:18 [sh1m]
- ack gregg
- 21:32:23 [Andi]
- Gregg - agree that we want to emphasize ATAG in introduction
- 21:32:37 [Andi]
- don't think ATAG should be incorporated into any of the guidelines themselves like we did for UAAG
- 21:32:45 [Andi]
- possible to embed a user agent in content
- 21:32:53 [Andi]
- rather than re-write, we refer to sections of it
- 21:32:59 [Andi]
- it being UAAG
- 21:33:07 [wendy]
- q+ to say, "yes, can embed ua into web content, however web content could be an authoring tool. ATAG applies to CMS"
- 21:33:10 [Andi]
- ATAG is a tool for creating WCAG conforming material
- 21:33:37 [bcaldwell]
- q+ to say, "Authoring Tools can also be embedded in accessible content"
- 21:33:43 [Andi]
- content generated using ATAG conforming tool does not guarantee accessibility - can prompt for information but information provided may not be accessible
- 21:33:55 [Andi]
- and the tool can only check certain things
- 21:34:11 [wendy]
- ack wendy
- 21:34:11 [Zakim]
- wendy, you wanted to say, "yes, can embed ua into web content, however web content could be an authoring tool. ATAG applies to CMS"
- 21:34:29 [Andi]
- Matt - true of all tools - need process that makes it as difficult as possible to create something that is not accessible
- 21:34:43 [Andi]
- Wendy - web content can itself be an authoring tool
- 21:34:52 [Andi]
- that's why the relationship is so critical
- 21:35:35 [Andi]
- web applications that create web content have to also conform to ATAG
- 21:36:40 [Andi]
- but this is a circular reference so we have to resolve that
- 21:36:50 [Andi]
- Gregg - sounds like we need a separate guideline on this
- 21:37:24 [Andi]
- Wendy - not clear if it is a guideline or if it affects conformance
- 21:39:18 [Andi]
- Gregg - doesn't ATAG reference UAAG for accessibility of user interface
- 21:39:28 [Andi]
- Matt - no, it references ISO 16071
