topic: 1.Review summary text up to h2 What to Include in the AccessibilitySummary
14:04:37 [gpellegrino]
GeorgeK: Hi, I'm George
14:04:52 [gpellegrino]
... this is one first topic
14:05:42 [Christopher_Carr]

14:06:13 [gpellegrino]
... are the links in the document corret?

https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/w3c/publ-a11y/blob/main/drafts/schema-a11y-summary/index.html
14:08:06 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: Thinks the document above looks good. Does anyone have any revisions to suggest?
14:08:41 [gpellegrino]
Rachel: it is fine for me
14:09:21 [gpellegrino]
CharlesL: maybe we should include something about accessibilityFeature = unlocked
14:09:34 [gpellegrino]
... but this is out of control for publishers
14:09:52 [PascalCalarco]
CharlesL: the publisher may change this later with DRM
14:10:10 [Naomi]
q+
14:11:55 [PascalCalarco]
gpellegrino: Gregario added detail about DRM implementation to specific ebook vendors
14:12:22 [CharlesL]
q+
14:12:33 [CharlesL]
ack Naomi
14:13:12 [PascalCalarco]
Naomi: suggests that retailers need to make this clear in their distribution implementations
14:13:31 [gpellegrino]
q+
14:13:53 [CharlesL]
q+ Rachel
14:15:28 [PascalCalarco]
CharlesL: If a retailer changes something in the ePub, like adding DRM or changing fonts, the metadata needs to be updated but they would not have rights to do so.
14:15:42 [CharlesL]
ack CharlesL
14:15:47 [CharlesL]
ack gpellegrino
14:16:32 [PascalCalarco]
gpellegrino: Agreed, this is not good. Suggests that AccessibilitySummary should be based on ONYX metadata, which is slightly different.
14:17:00 [CharlesL]
ack Rachel
14:17:08 [PascalCalarco]
Naomi: also thinks there is a little leeway in changing metadata with ONYX

14:18:18 [PascalCalarco]
RachelComerford: adds that MathML will be rendered as images instead of MathML, with Amazon, for example
14:18:40 [CharlesL]
ack Vince
14:20:04 [PascalCalarco]
Vince: These issues are something we are experiencing right now, regarding MathML and also CSS rendering for mobile and desktop browser, which render differently depending on OS, browser, etc. Requires a lot of research.
14:21:57 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: Suggests that we leave the publisher metadata alone. Gregorio, with the ONYX metadata, you are inserting this into the ePub?

14:23:09 [PascalCalarco]
gpellegrino: all of the metadata for our ebooks is based on ONYX.
14:23:15 [TerenceSmyre]
q+
14:24:29 [CharlesL]
ack TerenceSmyre
14:24:33 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeL: If you do not have access to the raw EPUB, this guideline needs to tell you how to use ONYX metadata to AccessibilitySummary
14:25:25 [PascalCalarco]
TerenceSmyre: University presses are (I missed this point Terrence)
14:25:35 [CharlesL]
s/ONYX/ONIX
14:27:34 [PascalCalarco]
Naomi: Does not have access to ONIX feed. Need to improve understanding on publisher end.
14:28:50 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeL: If we are providing guidance on AccessibilitySummary, do we need to be specific on where to get it from ONIX? Do AccessibilityHazards need to be in AccessibilitySummary?
14:29:41 [CharlesL]
q+
14:29:42 [PascalCalarco]
gpellegrino: perhaps we can add any metadata from ONIX or others into AccessibilitySummary
14:30:30 [PascalCalarco]
Naomi: If we can add this, we can easily add this to flow into ONIX
14:30:36 [gpellegrino]
q+
14:31:26 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeL: We need to have text added regarding the ONIX comments Gregorio has made
14:32:57 [CharlesL]
ack CharlesL
14:33:06 [CharlesL]
ack gpellegrino
14:34:17 [PascalCalarco]
gpellegrino: our experience: can we combine metadata from different descriptions into AccessibilitySummary?
14:34:38 [CharlesL]
q+
14:35:02 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeL: This may result in too verbose summary; what is essential needs to be included
14:36:05 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeL: It needs to be succinct for the user
14:36:48 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeL: perhaps a limit between 1k-2k characters
14:36:57 [PascalCalarco]
gpellegrino: agreed
14:36:59 [CharlesL]
ack CharlesL
14:37:52 [PascalCalarco]
CharlesL: agreed. Much of this is built into EPUB structure; if one of these is not, then we call it out in AccessibilitySummary
14:38:50 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: many users do not appreciate all the features in an EPUB or WCAG details, for example
14:39:42 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: images need to be tagged and screen reader friendly
14:40:19 [Naomi]
q+
14:40:26 [CharlesL]
q+
14:40:46 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: Do we need an introduction to produce a compact statement with most important info first, and recommending it not exceed 2k characters
14:42:06 [CharlesL]
ack Naomi
14:42:09 [PascalCalarco]
Naomi: specifying order would be helpful, a production person in a publisher may not know what is important and what isn't
14:42:11 [CharlesL]
ack CharlesL
14:42:50 [PascalCalarco]
CharlesL: we could add in a priority column, on Naomi's point
14:44:16 [PascalCalarco]
CharlesL: AccessibilitySummary - should this focus on pointing out particular features that publishers has added
14:45:34 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeL: publishers should include ConformsTo statement (WCAG2.1AA)
14:46:18 [PascalCalarco]
CharlesL: reporting errors contact could be included in AccessibilitySummary
14:47:28 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: we want to create an issue of the length of the summary
14:47:44 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: we want to create a column in the table
14:48:31 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: and lastly, give the publisher the ability add feature detail that can't be included elsewhere
14:48:46 [CharlesL]
ACTION: add new issues - length of summary, add priority column, publisher ability to include information features added which can't be expressed in metadata
14:49:29 [PascalCalarco]
RachelComerford: suggest adding something about values changing
14:49:59 [CharlesL]
ACTION: add ONIX examples in the tables
14:50:05 [PascalCalarco]
RachelComerford: Before you start writing" section a line that declares that metadata should be written (and consumed) as coming from the publisher but some values may not be accurate depending on the reading system that is used?
14:51:52 [CharlesL]
ACTION: Add a Note that this is from the Publishers perspective and may be reflected in the RS

topic: Display language discussion
14:53:56 [PascalCalarco]
gpellegrino: AccessibilitySummary should be in main language of the book
14:54:58 [CharlesL]
https://github.com/w3c/publ-a11y/issues/94
14:55:12 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: validation doesn't check for XML lang but it can be put it on the Accessibility metadata
14:55:56 [gpellegrino]
q+
14:55:56 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: If there is no value it will be rendered in the language of the reader
14:56:17 [CharlesL]
ack gpellegrino
14:56:29 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: having multiple languages is difficult to implement
14:57:39 [PascalCalarco]
gpellegrino: if I search on Kobo in Italy, it first presents Italian language books; the catalog can put the correct language in the interface, if no value then assume it is in same lang of the book
14:58:15 [Naomi]
q+
14:58:28 [PascalCalarco]
gpellegrino: multiple language statements become complicated
14:59:33 [PascalCalarco]
Naomi: observes that in Canada separate editions will be published for French and English
14:59:58 [CharlesL]
ack Naomi
15:00:46 [PascalCalarco]
Naomi: multiple languages in a book is a very small percentage of content
15:01:34 [PascalCalarco]
GeorgeK: Having one AccessibilitySummary in a single language is the way to go
