Agenda: OASIS ODF Accessibility SC Call Monday November 10th

[Richard Schwerdtfeger <schwer@us.ibm.com>]

Dear Accessibility SC,

Resending to adjust for Tokyo (sorry Hiro, Chieko, Tatsua)

Here is the OASIS ODF Accessibility subcommittee call for November 10, 2008, Monday November 10th, at 7am PT / 9am CT / 10am ET / 4pm CET / 12 (midnight Mon-Tues) Japan time. Please use our usual (and unpublished) dial-in, and our usual IRC channel: &office-accessibility at irc.oasis-open.org

Agenda:

1. Approval of minutes from 27Oct08 meeting (attached, and also at: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/email/archives/200811/msg00001.html
These is also attached as a text file.

2. Hiro complete review of ODF 1.2 specification and also to determine if there is a need to make use of its new metadata
- Based on Hiro's review discuss way to submit change requirements to the ODF 1.2 TC.
- Discussion: Action plan for next rev. of ODF Accessibility Guidelines based on Hiro's review
- Rich discussion format of requirements submittal (Each requirement to include change to RNG schema and changes to base document).

3. Wrap up on best practices for radio button groups (see last action item above). Peter Korn to ask Orca team. (Pete, Malte)

What are the best practices for creating button groups? There are two
tags providing labeling: 1)form:frame and 2) form:fixed-text. In the
latter case, i.e. static text is labeling a group of buttons (rather
than the buttons being groups in a form:frame, would you be able to
implement an accessible hierarchy (including the proper relations) for a
button group?

6. Action Items

* Malte and Peter: Provide input on the above topic of integration of the a11y guidelines into the suite of docs comprising the ODF 1.2 spec.
* Malte: Provide input on charts backed by disjoint cells:

How does (or how will) OpenOffice provide access to charts backed by disjoint cell ranges either in a single or multiple tables? If this case be done today, what are the examples?

5. Other Action item from prior meeting

* Janina to clarify text in section 3.4. Was this sent to Peter?
* Pete/Rich to investigate how Symphony maps repeating table headers to PDF.
* Peter Korn and Pete Brunet to specify the text of how table row and column information are mapped in ATK and IA2
* Peter Korn to consider/Update our guidelines to cover Apple api.
* Janina to modify accessibility guidelines to state how common field attributes (section 6.7 of the ODF 1.2 spec.) should be supplied to the AT. The field attributes would indicate whether something were a Boolean, Gregorian date, etc.
* Steve Noble to look at formulas specification identify data that would update frequently, such as volatile formula information that would require the Office application to inform the AT of updates sections. Will complete by next meeting. Steve has moved on. Rich and Peter to determine how to handle.
* Rich to provide base document for ODF 1.2 change specification (starting with table ecaption-id reference) to Mike Paciello. Mike is to own the requirements document for ODF 1.2 which will be submitted to the ODF TC. Rich is waiting on a decision as to where the ODF schema is to reside (separate or within the base document).
