Abstract:
Given the widespread adoption of ICT within the publishing industries, there is a general interest in the creation and provision of well-formatted digital documents.

This workshop will examine the ways in which this convergence is helping to build consensus and create new standards and technologies for the provision of information in formats which are more accessible for everyone. Presentations so far:
Presentation 1: "DAISY Consortium: Moving forward" (to be decided)
Presentation 2: "Building sustainable scenarios for co-operation" (BrailleNet, France)
