A training course on accessibility metadata and strategies for implementation
Training
The European Accessibility Act requires that every ebook must be accompanied by accessibility metadata, namely information describing its accessibility features so that everyone can determine if a digital publication meets their needs.
Whether you’re new to accessibility metadata or an experienced professional, this course will help you understand their importance for your products and provide practical guidance for implementation.
The course: “Accessibility Metadata Display: Strategies for Implementation”
This event, organized by Fondazione LIA in collaboration with Italian Publishers Association (AIE) will provide a comprehensive overview of how to distribute and effectively display accessibility metadata throughout the digital publishing supply chain, based on the latest Accessibility Metadata Display Guide for Digital Publications 2.0.
By combining theoretical knowledge with practical examples and implementation techniques, participants will develop both a solid understanding and actionable skills for effectively displaying accessibility metadata in their digital publications.
The course will be held by Gregorio Pellegrino, Chief Accessibility Officer at Fondazione LIA, and Christpher Saynor from EDItEUR, both co-editors of the above-mentioned Accessibility Metadata Display Guide.
