- 14:06:38 [Ralph]
- George: EDRLab is doing a 1-day conference
- 14:06:46 [Ralph]
- ... I'm doing a short keynote
- 14:07:07 [Ralph]
- ... one thing I plan to say is that we've made huge strides in accessibility but there's still a long way to go
- 14:07:16 [Ralph]
- ... people still don't know what EPUB is, at least in higher ed
- 14:07:31 [tzviya]
- q+
- 14:07:33 [Ralph]
- ... people that take the time to learn about it love it but it's still second to PDF
- 14:07:43 [wendyreid]
- q+
- 14:07:46 [Ralph]
- ... there's a long way to go in adoption, understanding, and promotion

- 14:08:02 [Ralph]
- ... there are still a lot of features I see being developed in the CG and passed to reading systems
- 14:08:22 [Bill_Kasdorf]
- q+
- 14:08:28 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: do you want the Steering Committee involvement?
- 14:08:33 [Ralph]
- George: I want promotion
- 14:08:54 [Ralph]
- ... Daisy is doing its part in the a11y community, particularly in higher ed
- 14:09:02 [Ralph]
- ... US and Canada work is going well
- 14:09:05 [tzviya]
- ack wendyreid
- 14:09:11 [Ralph]
- ... I don't know about Europe
- 14:09:38 [Ralph]
- Wendy: a problem I've heard, even as recently as a couple of months ago, speaking with people in Europe ...
- 14:09:55 [Ralph]
- ... had I heard about publishers' skepticism about EPUB3, borne by rendering issues
- 14:10:02 [liisamk]
- q+
- 14:10:09 [Ralph]
- ... I said I'd love to know what those issues are, as I'm not aware of them
- 14:10:10 [Bill_Kasdorf]
- q-
- 14:10:26 [Ralph]
- ... this relates to our efforts to get the industry to move from EPUB2 to EPUB3
- 14:10:32 [tzviya]
- q+ to mention a11y discussions about epub v pdf
- 14:10:43 [Ralph]
- ... if there is skepticism due to rendering issues, we need to know what those issues are
- 14:11:00 [tzviya]
- ack liisamk
- 14:11:02 [Ralph]
- ... I think we have answers to all but we need to know where the skepticism is coming from
- 14:11:41 [Ralph]
- Liisa: I'm hearing from colleagues in Europe not that there's skepticism; they know they will need to move to EPUB3 for a11y
- 14:11:49 [Ralph]
- ... but the issue is over updating catalogs
- 14:12:03 [Ralph]
- ... and the rendering of HTML is inconsistent across platforms
- 14:12:21 [Ralph]
- ... they don't have the resources to test across all platforms so they go to the lowest common denominator
- 14:12:33 [Ralph]
- George: epubtest.org is coming out with new tests
- 14:12:46 [Ralph]
- ... but this has nothing to do with HTML rendering
- 14:12:52 [Ralph]
- ... we have one SVG rendering test
- 14:12:57 [Ralph]
- ... and some MATHML tests
- 14:13:07 [wendyreid]
- q+
- 14:13:13 [Ralph]
- ... we could test HTML rendering across platforms
- 14:13:20 [Ralph]
- ... I know how much work is it to do a11y testing
- 14:13:25 [Bill_Kasdorf]
- q+
- 14:13:30 [Ralph]
- ... we could do the rendering testing collectively
- 14:13:37 [wendyreid]
- q-
- 14:13:45 [Ralph]
- ... and get rendering agents acting properly
- 14:13:55 [tzviya]
- https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2024May/0006.html
- 14:14:16 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: there was a discussion on the APA list; "a manifest for accessibility"
- 14:14:24 [Ralph]
- ... it had a lot of old and incorrect information
- 14:14:44 [Ralph]
- ... comparison with WCAG is not this group's issue
- 14:15:04 [Ralph]
- ... but let's be sure to tell everyone that we are up to speed with the most current version of WCAG
- 14:15:07 [tzviya]
- ack me
- 14:15:07 [Zakim]
- tzviya, you wanted to mention a11y discussions about epub v pdf
- 14:15:12 [Ralph]
- Avneesh: I'm working on that
- 14:15:25 [tzviya]
- ack Bill_Kasdorf
- 14:15:29 [Ralph]
- ... scheduling some meetings
- 14:15:49 [Ralph]
- Bill: those insights are really important; it had not occurred to me that epubtest is a11y testing
- 14:15:53 [wendyreid]
- q+
- 14:16:02 [Ralph]
- ... if that could be expanded to include rendering, that would be very useful
- 14:16:11 [Ralph]
- ... but as George pointed out it's also a lot of work
- 14:16:27 [tzviya]
- ack we
- 14:16:31 [Ralph]
- ... my perception on the a11y question is that EPUB3 is how you get accessible ebooks
- 14:16:39 [Ralph]
- ... if that message is not getting across it's really terrible
- 14:16:49 [Ralph]
- Wendy: I'd caution against us trying to figure this out from our side
- 14:16:56 [Ralph]
- ... we don't know how people are building their books
- 14:17:09 [Ralph]
- ... we'd have to guess how every publisher is constructing their books
- 14:17:28 [Ralph]
- ... it's more useful to reach out to the various publishing associations and figure out their needs
- 14:17:38 [Bill_Kasdorf]
- Great points, Wendy, thanks!
- 14:17:46 [Ralph]
- ... from the perspective of having to test many publishers across the world, I've found some really wild things people are doing
- 14:17:56 [Ralph]
- ... it would be near impossible to replicate all of that
- 14:18:14 [Ralph]
- ... a lot of a11y in EPUB3 is highly dependent on the features of the platform
- 14:18:26 [Ralph]
- ... whether the platform is well-integrated with the operating system, etc.
- 14:18:41 [Ralph]
- ... it's better for us to find out what the problems are
- 14:18:45 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: +1
- 14:18:59 [Ralph]
- topic: Industry Workshop at TPAC in September (EAA and Publishing)
- 14:19:11 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: there was some discussion at the previous two meetings
- 14:19:22 [AvneeshSingh]
- q+
- 14:19:31 [tzviya]
- ack AvneeshSingh
- 14:19:41 [Ralph]
- Avneesh: wondering about the scope
- 14:19:50 [Ralph]
- ... September TPAC will be in California
- 14:19:57 [wendyreid]
- q+
- 14:19:59 [Ralph]
- ... are we address concerns of the US market or of Europe?
- 14:20:11 [Ralph]
- ... I don't think W3C has many European publishers as members
- 14:20:17 [tzviya]
- ack wendyreid
- 14:20:23 [Ralph]
- ... I don't think we'd be successful at getting European publishers to this TPAC
- 14:20:30 [Ralph]
- Wendy: I talked about this with Ivan and Shinya
- 14:20:59 [Ralph]
- ... EAA is one topic we could talk about, but this would naturally focus on North American publishers
- 14:21:02 [tzviya]
- q+ to talk about larger scope of EAA on rest of web
- 14:21:14 [Ralph]
- ... instead, we could focus on what's next; what's the future of the digital publishing activity
- 14:21:37 [Ralph]
- ... with topics like scholarly publishing, what are the gaps, how do we further publication manifest
- 14:21:47 [Ralph]
- ... it may be easier to attract that audience to California
- 14:21:55 [liisamk]
- q+
- 14:21:58 [tzviya]
- ack me
- 14:21:58 [Zakim]
- tzviya, you wanted to talk about larger scope of EAA on rest of web
- 14:22:03 [Ralph]
- ... I do need to submit a request for space in a couple of weeks
- 14:22:30 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: another topic is to take advantage of being with other W3C groups and talking about EAA
- 14:22:46 [Ralph]
- ... W3C also has a ton of work on web payments; maybe a session on a11y and payment
- 14:22:54 [Ralph]
- ... talking about the tentacles of a11y
- 14:23:18 [Ralph]
- ... this would need to be coordinated with WAI; it wouldn't be specifically a "publishing" workshop
- 14:23:39 [tzviya]
- ack liisamk
- 14:23:43 [Ralph]
- ... talking about publishing, payments, and maybe other areas [of a11y[
- 14:23:47 [Ralph]
- s/y[/y]
- 14:24:00 [Ralph]
- Liisa: would we consider hybrid so Europeans could participate?
- 14:24:05 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: it will all be hybrid
- 14:24:18 [Ralph]
- ... I expect we'd have some of our community from Europe
- 14:24:44 [Ralph]
- Wendy: it's driven from publishing but it's a larger web concern
- 14:24:48 [Ralph]
- ... a multi-spec issue
- 14:25:03 [Ralph]
- ... it's something that I think multiple groups will have something to say
- 14:25:17 [Ralph]
- ... e.g. how text-to-speech works and could work
- 14:25:30 [Ralph]
- Leslie: for RS or for those who have specific solutions for ebooks?
- 14:25:53 [Ralph]
- Wendy: there's not a lot of understanding of how a TTS engine actually derives what it's going to say when reading a document
- 14:26:06 [Ralph]
- ... it's not formal standardization but documentation on best practices
- 14:26:20 [Ralph]
- ... so people building TTS engines can provide the best experiences
- 14:26:39 [Ralph]
- ... e.g. reading the alt text as well as the "visible" text
- 14:26:56 [Ralph]
- ... we'd have to talk with Kevin White to see what interest there is
- 14:27:07 [Ralph]
- George: I sent an invitation to the RS Testing group
- 14:27:25 [Ralph]
- ... Hadrian is a guest speaker this coming Tuesday to talk about his work on TTS
- 14:27:39 [Ralph]
- ... we're trying to get developers of read-aloud functions to come together
- 14:27:56 [Ralph]
- ... there are a lot of issues; how to present alt text, how to present MathML, etc.
- 14:28:06 [Ralph]
- ... many issues on how to provide a high-quality experience
- 14:28:16 [wendyreid]

- 14:28:17 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: should we try to pull together some kind of workshop at TPAC?

- 14:28:50 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: anyone opposed?
- 14:28:53 [liisamk]
- I do not plan to be there
- 14:28:57 [Leslie]
- Leslie has joined #pbgsc
- 14:29:01 [wolfgang]
- +1 (but could not attend in person)
- 14:29:11 [Bill_Kasdorf]
- Unsure whether I'll be able to attend
- 14:29:21 [Leslie]
- Not attending
- 14:29:26 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: seems there is rough consensus to work on a workshop
- 14:29:38 [Ralph]
- ... I'm imagining a half-day
- 14:29:59 [Ralph]
- Graham: [on Zoom chat:] Not on IRC – yes to a workshop, but be wary that this is not an event that Europeans other than Gregorio, Christina take part in regularly
- 14:30:19 [Ralph]
- George: [on Zoom chat] will not be going
- 14:30:33 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: I'll work with Ivan, Kevin, and Ralph; does that make sense?
- 14:30:36 [Ralph]
- George: yes
- 14:30:54 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: in the past we've sent explicit invitations to people we think would be interested
- 14:31:00 [wendyreid]
- Q+
- 14:31:03 [Ralph]
- ... and also request fee waivers
- 14:31:13 [Ralph]
- ... we'll talk about topics
- 14:31:34 [Ralph]
- ... we need replacement leadership for the CG
- 14:31:52 [tzviya]
- ack wendyreid
- 14:31:55 [Ralph]
- ... as Wolfgang needs some time off
- 14:32:14 [Ralph]
- Wendy: it would be great to narrow down exactly what we want to do at the workshop
- 14:32:27 [Ralph]
- ... I'd like an idea of what direction we're heading more specifically
- 14:32:38 [graham]
- graham has joined #pbgsc

- 14:32:47 [Ralph]
- George: what about holding a workshop at a place publishers would be coming?
- 14:32:52 [AvneeshSingh]
- +1
- 14:33:05 [Ralph]
- ... we used to hold sessions at BEA
- 14:33:14 [Ralph]
- ... I think BookWorld is still happening
- 14:33:21 [tzviya]
- ack liisamk
- 14:33:49 [Ralph]
- Liisa: Cristina and I have been talking about a Pub BG meeting in June to bring together folks who are looking at some of the rendering and testing challenges
- 14:33:56 [Ralph]
- ... to see if we can start to collect some of that
- 14:34:20 [tzviya]
- q+
- 14:34:22 [Ralph]
- ... also, Leslie and I have been talking about what we discussed at the previous meeting; doing a listening tour to hear what other groups are talking about
- 14:34:28 [Leslie]
- q+
- 14:34:30 [Ralph]
- ... and maybe a co-branded event with BISG
- 14:34:31 [tzviya]
- ack me
- 14:34:37 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: I think working with BISG is a great idea
- 14:34:40 [AvneeshSingh]
- +1 Lisa
- 14:35:00 [Ralph]
- ... BookWorld and Frankfurt/London Book Fair tend to attract sales execs
- 14:35:18 [Ralph]
- ... co-locating with DBW may not be effective
- 14:35:29 [Ralph]
- ... but working with BISG would be a really good idea
- 14:35:44 [AvneeshSingh]
- q+
- 14:35:56 [Ralph]
- ... I'm not sure working on rendering issues is worth our time unless the RS folk are fully on board
- 14:36:04 [Bill_Kasdorf]
- q+
- 14:36:08 [Ralph]
- ... we should focus on what problems we can solve
- 14:36:19 [Ralph]
- ... everyone's rendering issues are going to be different
- 14:36:20 [tzviya]
- ack Leslie
- 14:36:26 [liisamk]
- I am not as defeatist as you are
- 14:36:48 [graham]
- Agreed Frankfurt and London are events focussed on the rights trade. There is a small and dedicated attendance from metadata people because of the mini-conferences we (EDItEUR) run – but that maybe 50 people, some of whom fly in for the day
- 14:36:53 [Ralph]
- Leslie: I'm feeling that 15 years ago we had active conversations in the Digital Issues Working Group of the AAP
- 14:37:09 [Ralph]
- ... it was an opportunity to talk about the issues of the day, and have a forum for conversation
- 14:37:11 [graham]
- They aren't 'e-book people' necessarily though.
- 14:37:19 [Ralph]
- ... that won't happen at TPAC; we need to go to where the publishers are
- 14:37:28 [Ralph]
- ... we can have a role in encouraging those conversations
- 14:37:42 [Ralph]
- ... we can do that with the UK Publishers Association as well
- 14:38:20 [Ralph]
- ... AAP does not function in the same way [as 15 years ago] so we can't have the Digital Issues discussion there
- 14:38:25 [Ralph]
- ... but we could reach out to BISG
- 14:38:34 [Ralph]
- ... get input from the publishers and community about the issues
- 14:38:42 [Ralph]
- ... and have conversations about whatever the issue of the day is
- 14:38:48 [tzviya]
- q?
- 14:38:51 [tzviya]
- ack AvneeshSingh
- 14:39:18 [Ralph]
- Avneesh: summing up; I'd say merging the IDPF Board into the Publishing Steering Committee is a very good idea
- 14:39:31 [Ralph]
- ... we should focus on issues that need cross-pollination with the W3C community
- 14:39:31 [graham]
- The UK PA is a much more politically-focussed organisation now. It has hived off our most active technical committee/working group, the PAAG. However, PAAG remains very active in a largely independent way
- 14:39:50 [Ralph]
- ... this group should drive all the things Leslie and Liisa mentioned
- 14:40:05 [Ralph]
- ... this group should coordinate the separate communities, not try to merge them
- 14:40:19 [tzviya]
- ack bi
- 14:40:21 [Ralph]
- ... focus on what needs cross-pollination and reach out to the publishing community where it is
- 14:40:30 [Ralph]
- Bill: I'm fully supportive of a BISG connection
- 14:40:46 [Ralph]
- ... a lot of this discussion has been book-focused
- 14:40:57 [Ralph]
- ... in other areas, such as scholarly publishing, books are no longer the focus
- 14:41:09 [Ralph]
- ... university presses all routinely do EPUB3 and focus on a11y
- 14:41:24 [Ralph]
- ... those are easy; they have fixed layout, etc.
- 14:41:38 [Ralph]
- ... in scholarly they have journals and platforms; those are not the book issues
- 14:41:56 [Ralph]
- ... in choosing to focus on books we won't have interest from the scholarly community
- 14:42:03 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: I think we realize we have a book focus
- 14:42:14 [Ralph]
- ... we can reach out to organizations such as Learning Ally
- 14:42:30 [Ralph]
- ... we've reached out to Scholarly and they haven't been interested
- 14:42:42 [Ralph]
- ... how we tap into higher ed is a good question
- 14:42:52 [graham]
- q
- 14:42:53 [tzviya]
- q?
- 14:42:54 [Ralph]
- ... I look forward to hearing how the conversation with Brian@BISG goes
- 14:43:03 [Ralph]
- George: BISG is very interested in a11y metadata
- 14:43:04 [wendyreid]
- q+ graham
- 14:43:08 [Ralph]
- ... I've been attending their meetings
- 14:43:30 [tzviya]
- ack graham
- 14:44:05 [Ralph]
- Graham: Bill is correct; organizations such as BISG are great places to look for collaboration but don't just focus on BISG; there are similar organizations in other countries, such as AIE in Italy
- 14:44:17 [Ralph]
- ... the difficulty will be finding the right departments / right people in those organizations
- 14:44:34 [Ralph]
- ... one needs to look wider than only BISG
- 14:44:36 [liisamk]
- q+
- 14:44:42 [Ralph]
- ... the net needs to be cast widely
- 14:44:43 [Bill_Kasdorf]
- BISG is definitely US focused; BookNet Canada is the rest of North America
- 14:45:03 [Ralph]
- ... by analogy, on the metadata side we deal with roughly 15 organizations
- 14:45:08 [Ralph]
- ... that takes a lot of effort
- 14:45:13 [Leslie]
- q+
- 14:45:19 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: I guess we do need to define our goals
- 14:45:26 [tzviya]
- ack liisamk
- 14:45:54 [Ralph]
- Liisa: nobody is suggesting BISG is the only place to go; we suggested a listening tour to get feedback from many organizations
- 14:46:08 [tzviya]
- q+ to ask how we involve these groups instead of just interview
- 14:46:11 [Ralph]
- ... and pull together an idea of what people around the world need, where they are thinking we should go next
- 14:46:22 [Ralph]
- ... whether a standard we already have, or a standard with a missing piece
- 14:46:33 [Ralph]
- ... I don't think we have a good connection to what people want and need right now
- 14:46:48 [tzviya]
- ack Leslie
- 14:46:54 [Ralph]
- ... there may not be long-term coordination with all these organizations but we should start with some outreach
- 14:46:58 [Bill_Kasdorf]
- Audiobooks and manga/comics are definitely within the "book" scope.
- 14:47:10 [Ralph]
- Leslie: you all are looking for onramps; what standards people need
- 14:47:30 [Ralph]
- ... I come from a different place: there are ways now to convey an AI opt-out
- 14:47:41 [Ralph]
- ... the standards work has been done by the CG and by Editeur
- 14:47:54 [Ralph]
- ... but there's still work to sell this to the publishers to use
- 14:48:20 [Ralph]
- ... we used to have a forum to have the conversation about what this is, why you want to do it
- 14:48:23 [Ralph]
- ... that's missing
- 14:48:33 [Bill_Kasdorf]
- q+
- 14:48:40 [Ralph]
- ... Cristina is going around Europe to advise
- 14:48:53 [Ralph]
- ... but nobody is doing that in the US
- 14:49:03 [Ralph]
- ... I'm looking to encourage those conversations
- 14:49:21 [Ralph]
- ... not just in the specific AI conversation, but it would also be a place to answer concerns about EPUB3
- 14:49:30 [Ralph]
- ... without those fora things are left to fester
- 14:49:43 [Ralph]
- George: I have a question about leadership of the steering committee
- 14:50:05 [Ralph]
- ... it would be great to have someone who is not a W3C veteran; somebody in publishing who has their finger on the pulse of publishing today
- 14:50:20 [Ralph]
- ... and more independent of W3C; we tend to see things through a W3C lens
- 14:50:24 [tzviya]
- ack me
- 14:50:24 [Zakim]
- tzviya, you wanted to ask how we involve these groups instead of just interview
- 14:50:58 [Ralph]
- ... the IDPF Board has some business to do; one question is who from that Board could help chair this steering committee
- 14:51:01 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: +1
- 14:51:10 [Ralph]
- ... I completely agree with Leslie
- 14:51:25 [Ralph]
- ... we had a network of organizations plugged into the standards work and doing evangelism
- 14:51:44 [Ralph]
- ... it was small scale but for those organizations involved it was very important
- 14:52:06 [Ralph]
- ... we had lots of different perpsectives
- 14:52:14 [Ralph]
- ... it's about plugging everyone in
- 14:52:30 [Ralph]
- ... it's a great idea to work with other publishing associations around the world but we need to have a way for them to follow up

- This app note on the subject of AI and AI outputs https://www.editeur.org/files/ONIX%203/APPNOTE%20Aspects%20of%20AI%20in%20ONIX.pdf has been one of our most downloaded app notes over the last couple of months. It references the W3C TPMrep protocol as part of process of 'opting out'. But it's Europe-only of course
- 14:52:46 [Ralph]
- ... we need to figure out how to allow people to participate without paying a membership fee
- 14:53:08 [Ralph]
- Bill: a large constituency who are very book-focused and not often in the conversation is libraries
- 14:53:20 [Ralph]
- ... we've involved some of them a bit in a11y metadata, particularly in MARC records
- 14:53:39 [Ralph]
- ... I've observed often over the years that librarians tend to have a more technical staff than most publishers
- 14:53:42 [graham]

- 14:53:44 [Ralph]
- ... libraries can be very useful
- 14:53:48 [tzviya]
- ack graham
- 14:53:51 [Ralph]
- George: very good point
- 14:54:02 [Ralph]
- Graham: you're talking specifically about academic libraries
- 14:54:19 [Ralph]
- ... public libraries do not have those technical people and are getting rapidly hollowed-out
- 14:54:25 [Ralph]
- Bill: yes
- 14:54:49 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: is the goal to talk about the goals of each of those sectors or to involve them in the work?
- 14:54:54 [liisamk]
- q+
- 14:55:06 [tzviya]
- ack liisamk
- 14:55:08 [Ralph]
- Bill: libraries are very concerned about the accessibility of their resources
- 14:55:18 [Ralph]
- ... they manage the resources but cannot make them accessible
- 14:55:35 [Ralph]
- Liisa: we probably need to stabilize the core before we expand
- 14:55:50 [Ralph]
- ... we need leadership, more involvement, bring people together, figure out what we're doing next
- 14:55:57 [Ralph]
- ... settle some of that and then look outward
- 14:56:18 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: the biggest action item seems to be to talk with Brian@BISG
- 14:56:34 [Ralph]
- ... is there someone who will reach out the the British Publishing Association?
- 14:57:05 [Bill_Kasdorf]
- The PAAG--Publishing Accessibility Action Group--is very important
- 14:57:31 [Ralph]
- ... is there someone who will reach out the the UK Publishing Association?
- 14:57:31 [Ralph]
- Graham: PAAG may be a better organization in the UK
- 14:57:31 [Ralph]
- ... I take BIC as a given, but it doesn't have a working group specifically looking at this
- 14:57:43 [Ralph]
- ... I will talk with them
- 14:57:48 [Bill_Kasdorf]
- PAAG is UK but has non-UK members
- 14:57:52 [Ralph]
- Wendy: BIC is the British BISG
- 14:57:59 [Ralph]
- ... and I can reach out to Booknet Canada

- 14:59:01 [Ralph]
- Leslie: Liisa and I can come up with a proposed template for the conversation
- 14:59:10 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: that would be fantastic
- 14:59:26 [Ralph]
- Graham: we often have an informal meeting with Booknet Canada, BISG, and Editeur
- 14:59:41 [Ralph]
- ... I'd be happy to raise this in our fortnightly informal meeting
- 14:59:44 [Ralph]
- Wendy: that would be great
- 15:00:00 [Ralph]
- Tzviya: Wendy and I will schedule a separate meeting to talk about a workshop or "salon" at TPAC
- 15:00:13 [Ralph]
- Graham: it would be helpful to have 3 bullet points for what we want from those meetings
- 15:00:20 [Ralph]
