foolip is on phone, is Philip Jägenstedt from Opera Software
09:56:07 [Joshue]
JS: The subteam has created a doc called user requirements.
09:56:18 [Joshue]
JS: I am really happy we have discussion, it was needed.
09:56:58 [Joshue]
JS: General history and background.
09:57:09 [foolip]
We are talking about http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Accessibility_Requirements

morning silvia
09:59:03 [oedipus]
silvia, passcode is 92743# (WAIPF#)
10:00:28 [Joshue]
JS: John, Sylvia any comments?
10:00:36 [Joshue]
JF: Good summary..
10:00:52 [Joshue]
JS: So how do we move forward?
10:01:11 [Joshue]
HS: I objected to adopting the requirements.

10:01:38 [Joshue]
HS: The req doc has stuff that is not a11y requirements IMO.
10:01:52 [Joshue]
HS: There is also the issue of what it means to adopt the reqs.
10:03:05 [Joshue]
HS: We are concerned about objections that relate to features that are not a11y related.g. Codecs, copyright meta data.
10:03:40 [Joshue]
HS: The details of the Codecs are not related to a11y.
10:03:41 [MichaelC]
present: Janina_Sajka, Stefan_Schnabel, Michael_Cooper, Henri_Sivonen, Joshue_O'Connor, Artur_Ortega, Frank_Olivier, Gregory_Rosmaita, John_Foliot
10:03:48 [oedipus]
silvia, i mis-typed -- the actual passcode is 92473# (WAIPF#)
10:04:44 [MichaelC]
present+ Philip_Jägenstedt
10:05:36 [Joshue]
HS: The HTML 5 Wg has not come to a general concensus on what codec to require. I am concerned that unrelated a11y issues are included in a doc as a11y requirements.
10:06:31 [MichaelC]
zakim, move 92473 to here
10:06:33 [Zakim]
ok, MichaelC; that matches WAI_PFWG(WAIPF)3:00AM
10:07:13 [Joshue]
HS: Who will be affected by not including copyright meta data?

homata has joined #html-a11y
10:08:46 [Joshue]
JS: This can effect people with disabilities as captioning was not happening if the meta data was not there, as of the source material did not have copyrighting meta data, then the captioning may not happen.

present+ Silvia_Pfeiffer
10:09:42 [Joshue]
JF: We need to have a means of including a way to get at this meta data.. its only one type, there is also Dublin Core.. adding meta data to transcipts is not overly complex..etc
10:10:02 [oedipus]
closed-captioning is thought of as a real-time transcription of what is said and indications of ambient sounds, and historically has been viewed as repllicating the content of the captioned item
10:10:10 [Joshue]
JS: HS asked a good question, I don't know if there is a diff whether in band or in meta data.
10:10:14 [oedipus]
audio description goes off-script to provide descriptions that are essential to an understanding of the content
10:10:46 [Joshue]
JS: Don't want to get hung up on definition.Our issue is that copyright data gets carried effectively.
10:10:54 [Joshue]
JS: We need an effective mechanism.
10:11:31 [Joshue]
HS: My problem is that the doc states MUST requirements.
10:11:33 [oedipus]
q?
10:11:38 [Joshue]
JS: Could you give us some examples?
10:11:44 [JF]
ack JF
10:12:08 [Joshue]
HS: You could take out the requiements to add copyright meta data, take out the entire requirement?
10:12:13 [Joshue]
JS: No.
10:13:06 [Joshue]
HS: Specific implementation requirements mean that, if the requirements change in the future, I hope we don't fail to meet future requirements if things are currently over specified.
10:13:54 [Joshue]
HS: It should not be presented as it is. If its an inventory thats fine, it doesn't read like this.
10:14:07 [Joshue]
JS: Is there a problem about carrying copyright data?
10:14:12 [JF]
We shouldn't be designing HTML (a language that will be with us for
10:14:14 [JF]
decades) around the short-term solutions. Problems in the platform should be fixed correctly, not using band-aid techniques.
10:14:30 [Joshue]
HS: No, I don't object to that. My concern is overspecifiying in the spec.
10:14:40 [Joshue]
HS: I would like to remove the requirement.
10:14:52 [silvia]
q+
10:14:55 [oedipus]
we have to provide the tools to make the information understandable -- all the tools need to be in the toolbox, authors can use items from that toolbox
10:14:57 [Joshue]
JS: We need to include it.
10:15:11 [oedipus]

HS: I have a problem with must requirements in the detail.

s/a?//
10:15:28 [Joshue]
JS: Can you help us with the wording?
10:15:47 [Joshue]
HS: Requiring usage rights data is a problem.
10:16:17 [Joshue]
HS: A place for copyright notices is fine, but meta data is a rat hole. RDF issues etc.
10:16:48 [Joshue]
JF: I object to calling RDF crazyness.
10:16:58 [oedipus]
plus 1 to JF
10:17:23 [Joshue]
JS: This may be unintentional, in terms of implementation specifics.
10:17:47 [Joshue]
JS: We are talking about education environments in particular.
10:18:08 [Joshue]
MC: We are saying we need to require this info if available.
10:18:11 [JF]
+1 to (Michael Cooper)
10:18:37 [Joshue]
MC: It may be less problematic than you think.
10:19:43 [Joshue]
HS: If you say you must support meta data, then it brings in RDF etc. I don't have a problem with inventorying everything, I have a prob about the docs presentation - what it says and its presentation are different.
10:19:52 [Joshue]
JS: Lets talk about what it says.
10:19:56 [oedipus]

SP: Is there a fundamental problem, where a piece of content needs to be tracked and rights associated?
10:24:24 [Joshue]
SP: What is the problem?
10:24:53 [Joshue]
HS: The data needed for a resource, a generic data mechanism is a rat hole. We should commit to it.
10:25:14 [Joshue]
SS: It seems to me that the term meta data does not specify how it relates to a11y.
10:25:28 [JF]
can't pretend that metadata doesn't exist because some people think it is a rat hole
10:25:30 [hsivonen]
should *NOT* commit to a generic metadata mechanism

plus 1 to JF - not looking for rat holes, nor courting bubonic plague
10:26:20 [Joshue]
JS: We are looking for a mechanism to support a11y. How can we fix this?
10:27:13 [Joshue]
HS: By enumerating the data that is required for choosing the resource.
10:27:33 [Joshue]
HS: More detailed overview..

SP: By making it a finite list?
10:28:52 [Joshue]

10:46:05 [oedipus]

10:46:17 [hsivonen]

extractable metadata can only be extracted if it exists

hsivonen, probably not on HTML5, but definitely on the baseline caption format
10:48:33 [stefan]
HS: microdata in captions in qtext: what you have done? yo've required the metadada to be coded in markup - this will require lotta time to stall HTML5 for that

10:52:19 [janina]
q?
10:53:25 [silvia]
I think the question of what of these requirements should stall HTML5 from going to LC is a different question to what are the user requirements - the document only answers the latter one
10:53:32 [stefan]
MC: we gotta be reasonable about spec: we don't want open ended requirements, concerned about req. for HTML5 language
10:53:55 [Leonie_Watson]

10:57:23 [stefan]
