Dear DAISY Members, Friends, and all others interested in the progression of
the DAISY Standards,

The first draft of the DAISY Online Specification is now available for
public review
from the "Projects" area of the DAISY website.

At its core, the DAISY Online Delivery Technical Specification
is a Web Service API and a collection of associated industry standards. In
accordance
with the movement of the software industry towards a service oriented
architecture,
the DAISY Online Delivery Specification has a web service at its core.
This Web Service API is responsible for facilitating all interactions
between a Reading
System and a Service Provider, including the Downloading and Streaming of
content.
This specification also allows for the downloading and streaming of content
directly
over http and https.
The following three documents compose the normative part of the
specification:
DAISY Online Web Service API Version 1.0
,
DAISY Online Markup Language Ontology Version 1.0
and
DAISY Online Markup Language Schema (xsd).

The working group is seeking input from the public. All comments can be
submitted
through the "Contact us" form  from the DAISY website.

Deadline for comments is May 15, 2009 for this version of
the standard.

The project area can be found at:

Best
George, on behalf of the Online Delivery working group
