Could be content itself to the book feature instead. 15:27:19 +1 15:27:30 Charles: I agree with that. its a book feature not a visual adjustment 15:27:36 proposed: move high contrast metadata to book feature 15:27:41 +1 15:27:41 +1 15:27:44 +1 15:27:47 +1 15:27:59 resolved 15:28:17 https://github.com/w3c/publ-a11y/issues/147 15:28:54 gpellegrino: useOfColor thanks to Madeleine two similar metadata which means similar but opposite 15:29:36 From Madeleine's github comment: the ONIX term means "don't worry, there is an alternative to use of color" whereas Schema/W3C has the term "colorDependent" as a part of the accessMode vocabulary with the definition "Indicates that the resource contains information encoded such that color perception is necessary." If images are accompanied by alternative text, that may remove the barrier. 15:30:07 …, where to put this metadata in our groups. currently under visual adjustments, but maybe we should move it to book features. 15:30:23 q? 15:30:24 …, this is a WCAG AA requirement. 15:31:17 proposed: use of color metadata under book features 15:31:20 +1 15:31:30 +1 15:31:32 +1 15:31:34 +1 15:31:40 +1 15:31:41 +1 15:31:52 resolved 15:32:09 https://github.com/w3c/publ-a11y/issues/148 15:32:28 gpellegrino: "Reading Mode: Audio" and "Reading Mode: Non visual" should we merge them. 15:32:43 q? 15:32:44 q+ 15:32:45 Q+ 15:32:48 q+ 15:32:54 AvneeshSingh: Syntetic speech vs. human narrated audio 15:32:54 q+ 15:32:58 ack jf 15:33:18 JF: I would argue against merging them, what about Braille Output. 15:33:25 q- 15:33:35 …, tactile reading mode. 15:33:41 ack next 15:34:05 gpellegrino: non-visual reading mode jumping from 1 heading to another, the audio is more beginning to end, 15:34:24 ack madel 15:34:25 AvneeshSingh: maybe its the name that is a problem. 15:35:21 Madeleine: Non-Visual seems like not a lot of users would understand.

Since PDF's don't include a11y metadata then I suggest keeping it out of the grouping, we didn't mention this since its depricated. 15:45:11 +1 15:45:24 proposed: keep bookmarks metadata out of the guide, while providing explanation. 15:45:27 +1 15:45:36 +1 15:45:37 +1 15:45:38 +1 15:45:42 +1 15:45:46 +1 15:45:49 resolved 15:46:04 https://github.com/w3c/publ-a11y/issues/150 15:46:13 accessibilityFeature = none 15:46:53 gpellegrino: does this makes sense to include? do we group it in conformance section. From Madeleine - This term was added to support the ability to make accessibiltyFeature mandatory. If a book is not accessible, we might still have hazard or accessMode info available. accessibilityFeature needed to be able to have a value for those cases. 15:47:13 q? 15:47:51 q? 15:48:12 …, does it makes sense to have in conformance section even though there wouldn't be any conformance statement 15:48:29 q? 15:48:30 AvneeshSingh: Yes we should keep it. 15:48:38 q+ 15:48:39 q+ 15:48:45 gpellegrino: do we group it in conformance or some other place. 15:48:53 ack madel 15:48:54 q+ 15:49:15 Madeleine: I think conformance is a good spot. people looking a features wouldn't be looking there for none 15:49:19 ack next 15:49:41 MiiaK: I was going to say what Madeleine. 15:49:53 q+ 15:50:00 q? 15:50:28 ack next 15:50:39 q+ 15:51:33 ack madel 15:51:41 gpellegrino: maybe when there is no conformance and a11y feature of none then we can say that it does not conform, not that we don't know if conformance is missing. 15:52:37 q+ 15:52:53 Madeleine: I am comfortable leaving this under Conformance. we could recommend where there a conflicts based on the metadata present if we get to that. 15:53:06 ack wendy 15:54:09 wendyreid: looking at case : person who did the metadata that accessibility features are "unknown" odd book with 0 features could even exist. 15:54:09 q? 15:54:40 q+ 15:54:40 Charles: there is a11y feature of "unknown" 15:54:40 ack next 15:55:05 gpellegrino: we should mention how to handle conflicting metadata. what happens if we have differences in schema / ONIX section on conflicts. 15:55:07 ack next 15:55:59 MiiaK: from EU Act smaller countries will be publishers who don't have to follow these regulations they won't know if they conform or not. 15:56:12 q? 15:56:41 AvneeshSingh: Wendy would it harm keeping this "none" under conformance. 15:57:10 wendyreid: could be confusing "Features = none" 15:57:39 AvneeshSingh: ONIX has a code for inaccessible 15:57:46 q? 15:57:58 q+ 15:58:15 ack wendy 15:58:41 Charles: isn't inaccessible for onix same as "none" and no conformance statement 15:59:14 wendyreid: I wonder if on schema side there won't be a case with "none" or there is some bigger issue here. 15:59:30 …, if anything is missing it become inaccessible. 15:59:33 q? 15:59:44 AvneeshSingh: take this issue to github. 16:01:03 rrsagent, make minutes 16:01:04 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2023/02/09-pcg-a11y-minutes.html AvneeshSingh 16:01:13 rrsagent, make logs public 16:01:29 rrsagent, make logs public 16:02:10 CharlesL has left #pcg-a11y 16:02:40 zakim bye 16:02:53 zakim, leave 16:02:53 leaving.
