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

METALL（支持元数据的辅助生活和学习工具）项目的目的是展示如何使用支持元数据的工作流程显着改善对按需/及时无障碍特定文本数字内容的访问。其目标是：（1）证明有可能创建一个联合内容管理系统（CMS），专门提供适合视力受损和有阅读障碍的用户的内容;（2）展示如何使用无障碍专用元数据和其他元数据来确保用户始终获得经过转换以适合用户无障碍偏好的文本源内容;（3）证明新的内容管理系统及其附带的开放式内容转换工具，可支援教育及培训机构所使用的多个学习管理系统;（4）证明同一内容管理系统可支援多个专为长者而设的应用系统。

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.
