SUMMARY:BIC Brunch - European Accessibility Act: Metadata
DESCRIPTION:Accessibility – How does the European Accessibility Act affect your metadata?\n\n\nBIC Brunches 2024\n#bicbrunch \nEuropean Accessibility Act: MetadataOverview\nBIC Brunches are a series of live webinars which have been created for BIC members and non-members to attend to discuss book industry supply chain topics (including issues\, successes\, and challenges). Each BIC Brunch session is dedicated to one key area of the supply chain\, offering attendees a unique opportunity to gather knowledge about that topic from experts in the field. \n \nIntroduction\nJoin us in this\, the second session of our brand-new series of webinars dedicated to Accessibility\, which we’ve put together with the 2025 European Accessibility Act (EAA) firmly in mind. This follows on from our incredibly well received launch session in July 2024 which took us back to the basics with a look at the legalities. The recording of July’s session is available exclusively to staff at BIC member organisations only via info@bic.org.uk \nIn this second session we’ll be exploring the EAA requirements in light of what they mean for digital/eBooks both in terms the data contained within the ePub file and also the metadata created and distributed throughout the book industry supply chain via ONIX. \nOur expert speakers will guide us through metadata workflows\, ePub schema metadata\, and give us a quick tour of the W3C User Experience Guide for Displaying Accessibility Metadata. \nWe’ll hear helpful hints and tips on how to approach your frontlist\, how to identify\, and update backlist metadata\, the practicalities of the process of doing this\, and the importance of communications and setting expectations with all supply chain actors/trading partners. \nWe will be hosting separate sessions dedicated to i) the requirements for displaying accessibility information on vendor platforms\, and ii) a deeper dive into the accessibility requirements when it comes to the content of ePub files\, PDF’s etc. September’s session is all about the metadata. \nSo\, if you’re looking for advice from industry experts on how to tackle the EAA in terms of metadata requirements\, join us on 5th September for the second session of our BIC Brunch: Accessibility series. \nIf you have any specific questions you would like addressed at the webinar please send details to info@bic.org.uk. \nHost\n\nKarina Urquhart\, Executive Director\, BIC\n\n\nSpeakers\n\nJohn Bell\, Publishing Systems Manager\, HarperCollins\, UK\nWendy Reid\, Accessibility and Publishing Standards Lead at Rakuten Kobo Inc.\nChris Saynor\, Standards Editor\, EDItEUR\n\n \nWho should attend?\nThis event will be of interest to those concerend with complying with the EU Accessiblity Act\, particulraly when it comes to the creation\, updating\, sending and receiveing of the metadata for digital books/ebooks. \nThe EU Accessibitly Act will have a far reaching impact on the book industry supply chain and so this session will be of interest to anyone working in the book publishing world including publishers\, vendors\, content creators\, and in particluar metadata specialists and system providers. \n \nRegistration\nTickets are FREE for BIC members – non-members are asked to pay a nominal fee.To register\, scroll to the top of this webpage and click on the ‘Get Tickets’ button.Not sure if your organisation is a BIC member?
