[BlindTlk] Braille Authority of North America Position Statement on Computer Braille

[Jude DaShiell]

Easily.  Many document formats are in regular use by corporations in terms
of software and systems development.  By systems, I refer to the broad
definition of systems.  Systems can be physical or logical.  Physical
systems cover building layouts and production layouts and distribution
layouts.  Logical systems function inside physical systems and support
physical systems.  One of the major document forms used to document all of
this structure and function within this structure is called data flow
diagrams.  They come in physical data flow diagrams and logical data flow
diagrams.  Now, you may ask how is this connected to B.A.N.A.  The issue
is not that these are connected to B.A.N.A. the issue is for anyone with
exposure to systems analysis and computer programming that these are not
connected to B.A.N.A. specifically B.A.N.A. hasn't released braille
standards on how to write these diagrams up in braille so those can be
passed along to others who are blind and transcribers who can transcribe
whatever a blind information science professional writes so it can be
turned into print correctly for sighted professionals to use.  This is not
how to support s.t.e.m. or s.t.e.a.m.
