It is in

19、cluded for information only.) ANSI/NISO Z39.86 was first released in 2002. Preparation of this version of the standard was prompted by several factors: first, a desire to stay abreast of current practices in related standards and specifications; second, a need to clarify a few ambiguities present in

20、 the first release; and third, the wish to add enhancements requested by those using, or planning to use, the standard. A variety of changes stemming from all of the above reasons were made. Some of the more significant enhancements are listed below: Producer-controlled pauses. These allow a DTB aut

21、hor to cause the presentation to pause at specified points and wait for a user action. This function could be used in workbooks when the user needs to, for example, explore a model before continuing. A more robust method of ensuring that players can maintain their location when navigation methods ar

22、e mixed A cleaner mechanism for enabling direct access to pages New elements for marking up a textual content file A more efficient method of identifying individual books when more than one is present on a single piece of media Individual changes made to the standard are described in comments that c

23、an be viewed by reading the HTML version in an HTML authoring tool or with a text editor. Foreword (This foreword is not a part of ANSI/ Z39.86-2005, Specifications for the Digital Talking Book. It is included for information only.) This standard presents specifications for digital talking books (DT

24、Bs) for blind, visually impaired, physically handicapped, learning-disabled, or otherwise print-disabled readers. For many years, “talking books“ have been made available to print-disabled readers on analog media such as phonograph records and audiocassettes. These media serve their users well in pr

25、oviding human-speech recordings of a wide array of print material in increasingly robust and cost-effective formats. However, analog media are limited in several respects when compared to a print book. First, they are by their nature linear presentations, which leave much to be desired when reading

26、reference works, textbooks, magazines, and other materials that are often accessed randomly. In contrast, digital media offer readers the ability to move around in a book or magazine as freely as (and more efficiently than) a sighted reader flips through a print book. Second, analog recordings do no

27、t allow users to interact with the book by placing bookmarks or highlighting material. A DTB offers this capability, storing the bookmarks and highlights separate from, but associated with, the DTB itself. Third, talking book users have long complained that they do not have access to the spelling of

28、 the words they hear. As will be explained below, some DTBs will include a file containing the full text of the work, synchronized with the audio presentation, thereby allowing readers to locate specific words and hear them spelled. Finally, analog audio offers readers only one version of the docume

29、nt. If, for example, a book contains footnotes, they are either read where referenced, which burdens the casual reader with unwanted interruptions, or grouped at a location out of the flow of the text, making them difficult for interested readers to access. A DTB allows the user to easily skip over

30、or read footnotes. The Digital Talking Book offers the print-disabled user a significantly enhanced reading experience - one that is much closer to that of the sighted reader using a print book. The DTB goes far beyond the limits imposed on analog audio books because it can include not just the audi

31、o rendition of the work, but the full textual content and images as well. Because the textual content file is synchronized with the audio file, a DTB offers multiple sensory inputs to readers, a ANSI/NISO Z39.86-2005 2005 NISO v great benefit to, for example, learning-disabled readers. Some visually

32、 impaired readers may choose to listen to most of the book, but find that inspecting the images provides information not available in the narrative flow. Others may opt to skip the audio presentation altogether and instead view the text file via screen-enlarging software. Braille readers may prefer

33、to read some or all of the document via a refreshable Braille display device connected to their DTB player and accessing the textual content file. DTBs containing a textual content file but no audio material might be accessed via synthetic speech, screen-enlarging software, or a Braille device. Digi

34、tal Talking Books are not tied to a single distribution medium. CD-ROMs will be used first but DTBs will be portable to any digital distribution medium capable of handling the large files associated with digital audio recordings. Regardless of how a DTB is distributed, however, it will normally be i

44、tal Talking Book 1 General Information 1.1 Purpose and Scope of Standard (This section is informative.) This standard establishes specifications for digital talking books (DTBs) for blind, visually impaired, physically handicapped, learning-disabled, or otherwise print-disabled readers. Its purpose

45、is to ensure interoperability across service organizations and vendors providing content and playback systems to the target population. This standard provides specifications primarily for DTB files and their interrelationships. It also includes specifications for DTB playback devices in two areas: p

46、layer performance related to file requirements and player behavior in areas defined in user requirements. 1.2 Definitions (This section is normative.) The following abbreviations, acronyms, phrases, and terms are used in this standard as defined below. In the following definitions and throughout the

47、 standard, bracketed items correspond to entries in section 17, “References to Other Specifications/Documents,“ where the full URL is provided for each reference. Accessible Fully usable by the target population. CSS Cascading Style Sheets CSS is a mechanism for adding style (e.g. fonts, colors, spa

48、cing, formatting) to HTML or XML documents. DRM Digital Rights Management is a system of tools and processes that protect intellectual property when it is encoded and distributed in digital form. DTB The Digital Talking Book content data set that complies with the specifications in this standard. DT

49、Book An XML element set (dtbook.dtd) that defines the markup for the textual content of a DTB. DTD The Document Type Definition file contains machine- and human-readable rules that define allowable XML markup for a particular application.
