Meeting minutes
Implementation details of EPUB metadata for publisher contact.
<AvneeshSingh> w3c/
AvneeshSingh: should we be using role or another dedicated metadata
mgarrish: I'd go with minting our own new property - using refines is too complicated
AvneeshSingh: agree
Decision on AccessmodeSufficient.
<AvneeshSingh> w3c/
RESOLUTION: add properties for publisher and trusted intermediary contacts
mgarrish: it's problematic to reduce requirements in new standards as it makes it incompatible with older versions
George: maybe we should only make access mode sufficient required
Madeleine5: access mode sufficient is the most complicated to understand
George: it's repeatable but we allow textual and visual as single statements
AvneeshSingh: can this be automated
Madeleine5: yes, I've automated these in the past to make access modes from other metadata
AvneeshSingh: daisy pipeline computes metadata when it compiles an epub - but need to check if it works with edge cases
AvneeshSingh: we could bump it up to mandatory and see if people resist
Madeleine5: so we want compatibility with previous
mgarrish: content doesn't break if we change the conformance identifier
AvneeshSingh: let's update the tracker that we're going to move it to a requirement and if we don't get any negative feedback after a couple of weeks we can move it to the spec
Creation of a common document for explaining the accessibility metadata.
mgarrish: consolidates all the information about the accessibility metadata that was spread around in different documents and consolidates it into a single new guide that we'll maintain
George: is this rec track?
mgarrish: no, this will be maintained by the CG
upgrading the floor WCAG specification for EPUB Accessibility 1.1.x from WCAG 2.0 to 2.2.
<AvneeshSingh> w3c/
AvneeshSingh: should we elevate the floor from WCAG 2.0 level A
… there is no urgency to make this change - WCAG 2 versions do not supersede each other
mgarrish: what about raising just the level?
AvneeshSingh: could be problematic as some regions still only require level A
AvneeshSingh: let's continue with the status quo and see if we get any other feedback
