• W273572743 abstract "PUBLISHING IN THE INFORMATION AGE The Information Age started when more than 50% of the population was employed in providing information. the USA, this happened in the early 1970's. An entire generation has now been raised in the Information Age. Education, employment, and even recreation depend on the availability of information. This realization prompted the assertion that, In the Information Age, access to information is a fundamental human (from George Kerscher's ITC experts panel presentation to the United Nations, Bangkok June, 2002). Persons with disabilities which prevent them from reading print have long been deprived of access to the same information as the rest of the population. However, advancing technologies and the supporting standards are making it possible to meet these fundamental human needs in our information society. Publishing is also undergoing a revolution. Web-based publishing, electronic publishing, and multimedia presentations are leading the way towards a new era in publishing and a new definition of what it means to publish. To publish means to make public, and in the Information Age, publishers have a social responsibility to help meet the fundamental human rights of citizens with print disabilities. Leaders in our society recognize this social responsibility and are enacting policy that reinforces it. DAISY FIRMLY ESTABLISHED WORLDWIDE The DAISY standard is recognized worldwide as the ideal approach to providing navigable and accessible information to persons with print disabilities. Today, some 31 countries are represented within the Consortium. There are 11 Full Members, some 45 Associate Members, and 15 Friends. The organization has grown at an especially impressive rate during the last few years. We estimate that currently more than 100,000 unique DAISY books have been produced by participating Consortium Member organizations. The DAISY standard is widely recognized within the international community of libraries serving blind and print-disabled people. It is also an official information standard. March 2002, The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) endorsed this standard. Both of these are formal standard setting bodies recognized in the United States. The initial and continuing concept of the DAISY Standard is a fully international standard, and to that end, the DAISY Consortium is planning to move this standard toward adoption by the International Standards Organization (ISO). THE CRITICAL ROLE FOR PUBLISHERS The first step is for publishers to commit to making their works fully accessible to persons with print disabilities. The commitment should be a corporate business decision that becomes fundamental to a publishing house. Ideally this would be a corporate social policy, because persons with disabilities have the fundamental human right to read published information. From a legal perspective, publishers should see the trends in policy and legislation that make it clear that this is now, or will shortly be, required of them. The solid business case, however, comes from both the marketing arm, where the publisher sees a competitive advantage in having a full-featured version available for anybody, including persons with disabilities; and from the production arm where XML becomes the backbone of the publishing process. Publishers moving into the new era of information recognize the importance of XML in their publishing processes. XML makes it possible to create new highly functional, media-based products that reach new markets, and it can reduce the cost of creating multiple products for the print, eBook, and multimedia markets. Publishers should recognize that the disability community is not asking for anything fundamentally different from what is demanded by XML file preparation techniques; instead, we want to build on this publishing innovation. …" @default.
