An invitation to participate in the:
*Metadata for Accessibility Workshop*
Date: 9:30-4:30 Friday 30^th April 2004
Location: CEN Rue de Stassart 36, B-1050 Brussels
Organized by: CEN/ISSS WS/MMI-DC
In conjunction with:
CEN/ISSS WS/LT APLR (Accessibility Properties for Learning Resources)
project
You are invited to participate in a special one day open workshop
session of the next meeting of the CEN/ISSS MMI-DC Workshop. This open
workshop will be held in the CEN/CENELEC Meeting Centre, Rue de
Stassart, B-1050 Brussels on 30 April 2004. The aim of the workshop is
to identify and investigate the way that metadata can help achieve
efficient and future-proof solutions to accessibility. It is assumed
that this encompasses the provision of adequate access to information
for people with disabilities and for everyone in a multilingual and
multicultural environment. The environments include:
1. e-government,
2. e-business,
3. e-education and more.
A wide range of participants is expected to find this workshop of
interest, including those who wish to present their case for:
4. what is needed,
5. what is available and should be respected,
6. what is not available but is necessary, and
7. what they want people to know about.
All participants will be expected to submit a short summary of their
particular interests in this context (maximum of 2 pages). As a group,
the workshop will consider a number of perspectives and scenarios and
develop a report that WS-MMI-DC will make publicly available online
after the workshop.
Those who cannot attend but would like to contribute papers are welcome
to do so.
The number of participants will be limited so you are urged to register
(at no charge) as soon as possible (or to submit short papers).
Please register your provisional acceptance to this invite by 14 March
2004 . Papers should be submitted by 14 April 2004.
