<Avneesh> https://w3c.github.io/publ-a11y/UX-Guide-Metadata/principles/

<Avneesh> https://w3c.github.io/publ-a11y/UX-Guide-Metadata/principles/

Avneesh: How's the document looking?

Laudrain: please add me to the reviewers

Avneesh: Yes

<Avneesh> https://w3c.github.io/publ-a11y/UX-Guide-Metadata/techniques/

Avneesh: Techniques document

<Avneesh> https://github.com/w3c/publ-a11y/issues/8

Laudrain: it isn't all schema techniques

Madeleine: Schema and more? Schema plus? It is useful to reference Schema.org for name recognition

Avneesh: Embedded metadatat techniques? but it is good to have schema.org in the name

Bill: Techniques for displaying Schema.org and other standard accessibility metadata

Avneesh: too broad?
... expect to keep separate docs for internal and external metadata

Charles: Internal with a11y, schema, and epub metadata

Tzviya: not internal vs external. hope to have wider usage
... Prefer to have fewer documents, although I understand why we have schema techniques separate

Tviya: master document that links all of them

Avneesh: linking is good
... schema.org is not complete and so we need dc:conformsTo and epub terms

<CharlesL> https://w3c.github.io/publ-a11y/UX-Guide-Metadata/techniques/

CharlesL: this link is the overarching techniques doc that links the others

Madeleine: be sure we promote the central techniques doc that links to all of them

Avneesh: useful to have editor for each kind of metadata have their own doc to edit

Madeleine: and easier for implementors to read their own examples without others mixed in

Mattg: if it is about package documents metadata, why not say that?

Madeleine: who is the audience and what will they find most recognizable or persuasive?

Tzviya: the ones added to schema are to enable the use of schema.org, so we could call it that

George: marketing and communications around this area need intro document to explain the principles.
... link to other techniques is good, but one thing to bookmark for finding again

Bill_Kasdorf: encourage publishers to put it right on their web site

Laudrain: Retailer needs to read ONIX doc. If getting EPUB, needs to understand to look in the package document

<laudrain> https://www.epagine.fr/list-53692/livres-numeriques-accessibles/

Laudrain: French retailer epagine is linking to accessible books. Using ONIX feed.
... will ask contact there to look at these documents and ask if it is clear. Should also localize to French, Italian, etc.

<tzviya> +1 to mattg

<CharlesL> +1 as well

Mattg: Techniques for display of schema.org metadata, not techniques FOR schema.org metadata

laudrain: MARC will be transfered from national library, outside the book

<CharlesL> or External: ONIX, External: MARC etc.

George: Name consistently.

Madeleine: Techniques for the display of schema.org and (others) accessibility metadata

Techniques for the display of ONIX accessibility metadata

etc.

<Avneesh> https://github.com/w3c/publ-a11y/issues/6

Avneesh: finish naming decision on issue tracker

<mattg> https://www.w3.org/publishing/epub3/

Charles: that isn't a w3c standard page

Tzviya: agreed that we need to follow w3c style.

Mattg: can use a simpler style link this one for epub3

<CharlesL> agree with Matt

<Avneesh> https://github.com/w3c/publ-a11y/issues/4

Avneesh: yes, let's use that style that Matt suggested

<Avneesh> Accessibility Conformance: EPUB Accessibility (WCAG AA)

<CharlesL> +1

<laudrain> +1

Madeleine: that is the specific term for epub acc
... section 2.4 of the techniques doc is called "EPUB Acc Conformance" which shouldn't be the section title

Tzviya: People mostly have heard of WCAG and that's what they know best

Laudrin: publishers in epub production don't know wcag, but people building web sites know wcag better than epub

Tzviya: general publishing staff know wcag or 508 but not epub standard

<CharlesL> So instead of:

<CharlesL> 2.4.1.2 UI

<CharlesL> EPUB Accessibility Conformance: http://www.idpf.org/epub/a11y/accessibility-20170105.html#wcag-aa

<CharlesL> we should have just:

<CharlesL> Accessibility Conformance: http://www.idpf.org/epub/a11y/accessibility-20170105.html#wcag-aa

<MURATA> +present

Avneesh: if wcag conforming: accessibility conformance: wcag aa

if epub conforming, dont' put wcag, just put epub

Naomi: could it have two lines showing conformance to wcag and epub separately

<Avneesh> ackgeorge

George: wcag is a high level publication. it is abstract and applies to any kind of page or doc
... but i've never seen a pdf that claimed wcag conformance

Madeleine: are we discussing the section title for 2.4, or the contents of conformsTo statements, or the user-friendly UI for a given conformsTo statement?

Avneesh: how to make the UI less confusing for the statement.
... change heading for 2.4 to Accessibility conformance, have discussion about UI on issues tracker
... MARC coordination
... This will be a slow process.
... Marco from Finnish library will be liaison and will join future calls. After 24 March, another person will be appointed

<laudrain> https://code.kzakza.com/2020/01/mapping-table-for-a11y-metadata/?fbclid=IwAR2u5rwlGO0qQglYvGPfiE5Sp2T8Ut2kaogwzHMoZakSapOO3pCT6e2rOSY

Madeleine: who created the crosswalk?

<MURATA> Ando-san?

Avneesh: Japanese member.
... project plan is being prepared, and then a new liaison will be appointed

Laudrain: There are several MARC standards. There is UniMARC and MARC21 but I hope they will converge
... I am not in touch with IFLA people but would be happy to be

George: How big is that working group?

Avneesh: 5 or 6, but clearer after March meeting

George: Lots of interest in Canada. Could they get involved?

Avneesh: I will follow up
... Google metadata followup

George: CharlesL and Gregorio and I met with Google staff. Kiran Kahja, couple others

CharlesL: they think this has value but they don't want to misrepresent what a reading system can do
... if some of the acc features aren't available on this reading system they would need to edit the presentation of metadata

George: inside play book environment, they want to expose acc metadata, but also in general search

Laudrain: play books receives metadata from publishers in ONIX. uses for prices and titles and so on
... keen to store acc metadata from onix, hope to use it so when users search for a book and get a knowledge card
... knowledge card has a module that links to where you can buy the book
... they could have a checkbox in the module to find the book where acc metadata is displayed, for example
... but if it is on those websites selling the book it is probably in schema.org!

<Bill_Kasdorf> It's the Crossref Books Advisory Group

Madeleine: you can use acc metadata to describe the features of the reading system so that you can automatically know how to filter metadata
... Is it OK if Bill K and I present these docs as work in progress to the Crossref books advisory group?

Avneesh: yes, but emphasize work in progress
... next meeting March 6?
... doodle poll to see if this works for everyone. CSUN, london book fair, ebook craft, etc.

<CharlesL> thanks

March is busy

Bye!
