Abstract
Why Standards Matter: They Allow People to Work Together for Better Accessibility of Publications
Accessibility of publications is not possible without the support of publishers, bookstores, libraries, and reading systems. EPUB 3 and EPUB Accessibility 1.0, which are standards published by IDPF, W3C, and ISO/IEC, help these players to interwork for better accessibility. Moreover, web standards such as HTML and CSS provide a basis of accessibility of publications. An upcoming extension to CSS is expected to help those Japanese dyslexia users who cannot divide character sequences into words.Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Item (Paper) | ||||||
