Open, inter-operable and non-proprietary standard
development for synchronized multimedia contents,
such as DAISY in combination with adaptive modular
user interface development based around established
accessibility guidelines will maximize the Digital
Opportunity to bridge the digital divide.
DAISY Open Source Initiative including the DAISY For All
Open Source Workshop will enhance local language
support including languages with no writing scripts so
that every individual in the community may take part
in the global sharing of the knowledge.
Intellectual properties system need to be reconsidered
so that emerging multimedia global knowledge sharing
system may meet the requirement of all individuals
including persons with severe disabilities.
