Reality IPublisher/Designer and eDocument
• Publishers = type setting / layout / right owner / marketing• eDocuments are not at focus for publishers• Design
– Based on how the book has to LOOK LIKE– Separation of structure and style not implemented– Multiple use of data not intended– No meta data strategy
![Page 5: Accessible Content Production for students at school and at university](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814000550346895dab33a5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Reality II Diverse Publishing Processes
• No such thing as a standard publishing process• Different tools in use• Makes it hard to define THE accessible content
production process• Organisation
– Layout is not always done In-house– Work done by freelancer / layout agencies: awareness
![Page 6: Accessible Content Production for students at school and at university](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814000550346895dab33a5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Reality IIIDemand is recognized
Publishers are aware • of the need for ACP
– ethical– social– law
• Market potential– Creating alternative formats creates also market potential
beyond the disability market• audio books• large print books
• “Big players” approach

Reality IV Awareness and Training at local level
¿ What is Design for All?¿ What is an accessible document? ¿ What is expected from publishers?¿ Which format/meta data to support?¿ Are there mainstream tools supporting accessibility?¿ Workflow for ACP?¿ Costs?¿ New products/markets?

Reality VThere is good practice out there
• Big European Publishers show, that it is feasible• Daisy, ipdf• Examples of best practice are also online available (
http://wiki.euain.org)• IT as enabler: new tools
![Page 9: Accessible Content Production for students at school and at university](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814000550346895dab33a5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Access on Demand Workflow in Support Centre
1. Catalogue search• Order existing book – access via online library• Order/Track production of a document
2. Production• Feedback to student• Search other places• eSource
• Publisher/author contact: accessible/useable format?
• Digitisation: dependant on quality
• Master File (meta data)• Transformation to output formats
3. Delivery

Accessibility from Scratch (Hope on Phase IV)
• Awareness needed– Ethical– Statistical– Legal– Economical
• Know-How needed: Multi Channel Publishing
• Tools and Training• Better co-operation – interest from both sides
