This service illustrates how the Internet can help a collaborative network to be structured for producing accessible information for print disabled people. This an example of an "accessible information network", as defined by the EUAIN project (European Accessible Information Network) which aims to promote e-Inclusion as a core horizontal building block in the establishment of the Information Society by creating a European Accessible Information Network to bring together the different actors in the content creation and publishing industries around a common set of objectives relating to the provision of accessible information [9].
This is why BrailleNet takes part in the EUAIN project , particularly in the CEN Workshop on Accessible Document Processing (CEN/ISS WS/ADP) which is a key activity for the network. It examines the ways in which this convergence is helping to build consensus and create new standards and technologies for the provision of information in formats that are more accessible for everyone.
In the future Braillenet will develop a PC-based platform for delivering books in accessible PDF formats.
Braillenet also plans to discuss with partners having similar objectives as to establish co-operation for setting up a multicultural, multilingual library. This is particularly an expectation of readers in Europe which recognizes 20 official languages.
