Subject: Accessibility for DITA
Team... I received this note just this morning from Jan Rietveld: "Three months ago CEN/ISSS started a Workshop on Document Processing for Accessibility (CEN/ISSS WS DPA). The subject of this workshop is close connected to the subject of OASIS DITA. For your information I attach the business plan to this mail. At the kick-off meeting of the workshop it was suggested to start a liaison with OASIS DITA. I hope the TC is interested in such a liaison. Everyone who is interested can join the workshop. They do not have to be nominated by a National Body. Also we can be very liberal with the distribution of our document. So if people want to receive them they can email me and I will add their email address to our distribution list. If the OASIS DITA is interested in a liaison we (hopefully) will appoint a liaison officer in our next CEN/ISSS WS DPA meeting November 2005. In the meantime, is there someone I can send the WS DPA documents so the TC stays informed about our work?" Accessibility is very important for DITA to be able to demonstrate. It is partly a markup issue, and the markup has to be supportable in tools as well. I'll upload the business plan later if it seems relevant. For today, I would just like for us to formulate an acknowledgement and get this on a next agenda.
