Transition

The transition from Daisy 2.02 to DAISY/NISO has begun.

• organisationally, gradual transitions are expected
  • coexistance of prior and current format
  • A property of a digital library collection is that content in a format sense is not static
  • DC has taken as one if its responsibilities to provide migration and transformation tools, reducing the challenge for the individual libraries
• all new developments focused on the DAISY/NISO standard
  • DAISY/NISO authoring/production tool: Urakawa Joint Project (DC, NRCD, CWI, INRIA)
  • Parallell publishing and migration framework: 'DMFC'
  • Content validation: "ZedVal"
