LaPlant said he need to prepare an annual report for the last NCITS meeting in 2001, which will probably be in November. He will prepare a draft annual report to present at the next plenary. If the draft is not ready, the management group will finish it.

NEW ACTION ITEM: LaPlant will draft V2 annual report to NCITS for next plenary; this will be added under agenda item 6.1 for the next plenary. [P5/6]

7. Review of Related Activities

7.1 Access Board Proposed Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards ref: Federal Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards [http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/508standards.htm#PART 1194]

 

LaPlant reported on the 'popularity contest' run by the Accessibility Forum.  The 2 top projects were for development of an access technology API and for development of accessibility metrics.

NEW ACTION ITEM: Roeder will put section 508 reflector sign up info in the minutes and on the V2 web site. [P5/7.1]

 

To sign up for the discussion list of section 508 issues, send an email to listproc@trace.wisc.eduLeave the subject line blank and put "SUBSCRIBE section508  <your name>" in the body of the message with your own name in place of '<your name>'.

 

7.2 Web Accessibility Initiative ref:http://www.w3.org/WAI/   Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Home Page

 

Gilman said W3C is working on requirements for device independent presentation but his sense is that V2 will be ahead of that group.  WAI may be a subset of device independent protocols.

Urban asked Gilman to keep cross checking so WAI and V2 do not go in divergent directions.

7.3 IEEE P2001 Web Engineering Best Practices Guidelines ref: http://computer.org/standards/Internet/index.htm
Internet Practices Standards Working Group

 

LaPlant reported he thought there was a formation of a balloting group. He noted that in May or June, he or Meiers forwarded the appropriate invitation.

7.4 Accessibility Forum ref: http://accessibilityforum.org/

 

LaPlant said pre registration for the next Accessibility Forum on September 19-21 (Wednesday-Friday) is now going on. (See http://www.accessibilityforum.org/meetings/Sept19-21/registration.html)  All V2 principle and alternates are urged to register for the Accessibility Forum.

7.4 Other

No other related activities reports were offered.

 

8. Presentations

8.1 Technical Presentations
8.1.1 E-books

 

Sajka described the library materials for the blind and the evolution of technologies from braille, to recorded audio on long playing records, to cassettes, to digital talking books. There are currently 2 digital book standards; one is the Daisy consortium protocol and the other is the international NISO standard.  Both groups are working together. NISO version 3.0 may be finalized by August and will be in alignment with Daisy 3.0.  One goal is to have more meaningful navigation and another goal is to have synchronized multi media based on SMIL.

Vanderheiden noted that E-Books are  important not only for blindness, but also for dyslexia and physical handicap.  He said V2 should think about bringing the Daisy work forward into AIAP.  We are dealing with the human computer interface and talking books is a simplified case

Vanderheiden noted that copyrights for viewing and for audio are separate.  This might not be a problem because NLS (the national Library Service) has copyright exemptions or might claim fair use of digital format.

Gilman said we need to visit this a couple of times to determine what is overlapping or different, and what are the problems with digital rights management  and the intellectual property rights of content.

8.1.2 X-Forms

 

Gilman reviewed what was discussed last time on this topic.  He talked about dividing  the alternate interface RC scenario into 3 domains:

- the target service,
- the customer premises equipment (the user RC), and
- the network system segment to assist the first 2.

 

The target device in the UPNP context includes hardware and software.  In the RC scenario, the RC could be a user device with built in access technology.  The slippery place is the network segment.  The 

requirement calls for more than a data network.  It includes discovery service which is a community service to help the target and RC devices hook up.  The network segment includes data, discovery, and third party services.  A related view is where the requirements and preferences are coming from.

Gilman suggested an hour glass metaphor: lots of services, lots of users, connected through a narrow neck.  We want to grow the variety of cases and normalize them.

LaPlant said there is a recent Scientific American article on this material.

Gilman said scalability issues overlap with accessibility issues.  On the high end, we may gain as researchers learn to  understand meta computing with grid architecture.  On the low end, we have the device independent activity of the W3C.  Another W3C activity to watch is internet community services.

urban asked if web services is a formal W3C group.  Gilman said not yet, but it is going to happen.

Another group is IMS (Instruction Management System) Meta-Data project)  

8.1.3 Remote Console Devices

 

Vanderheiden and Zimmermann gave a progress report on the Trace RC test platforms.  Trace has grad students helping with the project.

Vanderheiden said they are going to test 3  prototypes:
- type 1 will be a desktop to target device,
- type 2 will be a standard handheld to target device (wireless approach)
- type 3 will be a legacy access technology product connected to an adapter (device to gateway to target).

Zimmermann said some of the main dimensions include:
- wireless (802.11 and bluetooth)
- networking (UPNP and JINI)
He said some elements of structure may be broken out, yet may be necessary; e.g., binding may be needed, but not specified.

Vanderheiden said a goal is for designs that need as little effort on the part of access technology vendors and on the part of target vendors.  Gilman noted that  people have already bought into the use of UPNP or JINI for ancillary devices.

8.1.4 Document Collaboration Tool

 

Nothing noted on this topic.

 

8.2 ad hoc Group Reports

8.2.1 Management

 

Nothing noted on this topic.

 

9.  Discussion of tasks and priorities

 

Vanderheiden said editors should maintain an issues list from questions raised in the plenary and on the reflector.  He also said we should have scheduled teleconferences open to all to hash out items and present solutions that can be agreed upon or rejected.

After some discussion, LaPlant said the ad hoc chairs will coordinate the schedule, then send a request for teleconference to Sheppard who will set up the phone bridge.  Use the work-def reflector to announce the teleconference calls.  Sheppard will be the contact for all teleconference requests, and will make sure there is no overlap of ad hocs conference calls.

The editors are accumulating explanation notes in separate document.  We still need a mechanism of packing up an entire document.

There are some other issues, such as the question of languages (looking ahead for international standard).

LaPlant said we may need to separate those issues and take them to an ANSI committee on 
those issue, e.g., languages.

9.1 Working Sessions

        9.1.2 Review of working document for AIAP

 

There was a lengthy work session on the draft Remote Console Specification of the Alternative Interface Access Protocol (AIAP-RC) document.  The editors captured the comments and issues.  Only action items and some highlights are noted here.

 

Ghazi said the Microsoft team have prepared version 2 of their original proposal.   In lieu of beginning a new V2 remote console specification, he submitted comments on version 1.2 of the V2 draft specification to the reflector.

In response to questions about formatting, LaPlant said we should use the ANSI file guide or the ISO style guide.  Since ANSI accepts the ISO/IEC format for American National Standards, he recommended we use the ISO guide.  (Ref: V2/01-0018 "ISO/IEC Rules for the structure and drafting of International Standards")

 

Later LaPlant made a motion that we follow the ISO style guide.  Vanderheiden seconded the motion.  Ghazi objected that  there was not enough time to consider the issue and made a motion to table it.  LaPlant offered an amendment that it be tabled until the next plenary.  The motion to table LaPlant's motion (on following the ISO style guide) until the next plenary was seconded and passed by unanimous consent.

 

Zimmermann will pull out the open issues and maintain an issues list.  Member organizations or delegates can associate their name with any issue.

Vanderheiden suggested using AAIML for Abstract Alternate Interface Markup Language.  After some discussion there was no consensus but AAIML will be used in the interim as a place holder.

Korn noted the specification is missing the security layer.  He said there are 2 aspects of security: 1 concerns the content of the conversation, and 2 concerns discovery and look up.


Vanderheiden suggested a third is physical security or control of the user's own products.

Chapman suggested a fourth is privacy control.

Korn added a fifth would be authentication.

Vanderheiden proposed we nominate a security committee, which should include Korn and Chapman.

MODIFICATION TO ACTION ITEM #27: Chapman and Korn will work on security issue; Chapman will schedule and Sheppard will set up a teleconference. [P5/9.1.2]


9.1.3 Priorities and Timelines

 

Trace will post the marked up document to the reflector, then post a cleaned up version later.

10. New Items.

        10.1 Liaison strategy re: IEEE P2001, Accessibility Forum, and W3C

 

Nothing was noted on this topic.

 

        10.2 Usage of AIAP (licensing, components)

 

Nothing was noted on this topic.

 

        10.3 Metadata

 

This topic was tabled.

 

11. Future Meetings

 

The next V2plenary, chosen to be during the same week as the Accessibility Forum, will be on September 17-18, 2001, from 9 AM to 5 PM (ET), in Washington, DC.  AFB offered to host the meeting and the venue will be confirmed when the meeting announcement is posted.

The next managers conference call is scheduled for Wednesday, August 8, 2001, at 2 PM (ET).  LaPlant will set up the call and post the notice to the work-def reflector.

Zimmermann will lead a document review conference call on Friday, August 10, 2001, from 4 PM to 7 PM (ET).  This is an ad hoc of the whole for the RC specification.

12. Summary of Action Items.

 

Roeder will post the active action items to the work-def reflector.
