NISO Z39.86-201x, Authoring and Interchange Framework

Trial Use Period: March 28, 2011 - September 28, 2011


Abstract: The DAISY (ANSI/NISO Z39.86) Authoring and Interchange Framework - ZedAI for short, is a specification that defines the next generation of DAISY XML. The ZedAI Framework is one of the two parts in the ongoing major revision of the DAISY Standard. The reivision is a modular, extensible architecture to permit the creation of any number of content representation models, each custom-tailored for a particular kind of information resource. It also provides support for new output formats, which can be added and implemented as the need arises. The revision expands the scope of the previous version of the standard, which was called Specifications for the Dgital Talking Book, to cover a broad range of digital content provision in universally accessible formats.

Status: This Draft Standard for Trial Use was developed by the DAISY Revision Working Group and approved by the Content and Collection Management Topic Committee.
