DAISY

Tomorrow I am co-presenting at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, VA at the Collaboration Expedition Workshop.. I’ve been working with Janina Sajka of the American Foundation for the Blind on delivering DAISY content over telephone. My trip to Amsterdam last month was to the DAISY conference. I’ve been delving deeper and deeper into accessibility moving beyond just the web into other areas such as audio-books. One possible future I see for this work is to help deliver web-based content via the telephone using DAISY as the go-between. DAISY relies on hierarchical structuring of information and a well designed, semantically marked-up website is a natural fit for this. So, we shall see. Who knows? Maybe we’ll be able to do this with DisabilityInfo.gov?

Currently listening to: La Bohéme Prelude and Aria from the album “Quartetto Gelato” by Quartetto Gelato
