METALL (Metadata-Enabled Tools for Assistive Living & Learning)

Metall(元数据支持的辅助生活和学习工具)项目的目的是演示如何使用支持元数据的工作流程显著改进对按需/即时可访问性特定文本数字内容的访问。其目的是：(1)证明有可能建立一个联邦内容管理系统(CMS)，专门提供适合视力障碍和阅读障碍用户的内容；(2)展示如何使用特定于可访问性的元数据和其他元数据来确保用户总是获得文本起源的内容，该内容被转换成适合用户的可访问性偏好；(3)证明新的内容管理系统及其附带的开放可访问内容转换工具可以支持教育和培训机构中使用的广泛的学习管理系统；(4)表明相同的CMS可用于支持多种针对老年人的应用。

The aim of the METALL (Metadata enabled Tools for Assistive Living and Learning) project is to demonstrate how access to on-demand/just in time accessibility specific text-based digital content can be significantly improved using a metadata-enabled workflow. The objectives are to: (1) demonstrate that it is possible to create a federated Content Management System (CMS) that specialises in the provision of content suited to vision impaired and dyslexic users; (2) show how accessible-specific and other metadata can be used to ensure that a user always obtains text-originated conent that is transformed to suit the accessibility preferences of the user; (3) demonstrate that the new CMS and its accompanying open accessible content conversion tool can support a wide range of learning management systems as used in education and training institutions; (4) show that the same CMS can be used to support a wide range of elderly-specific applications.
