Daisy Online
What is Daisy Online?
• It is a protocol that standardises the communication between a compliant Reading System and a DAISY based service eg library
How does the Daisy Online standard bring Daisy, SOA and the World Wide Web together?
• It has been primarily built to transfer Daisy and other accessible content from a service provider to a Reading System.
• It defines a Web Service and specifies the use of associated standards and satisfies the requirements of a service orientated architecture
• A reading System downloads/streams content over http and https, and interacts with a Service through the web Service defined by this protocol.

What Next?
• Standardised communication between a Reading System and a Service provider.
• Would not be possible without the contribution of many members of the DAISY community.
• The Daisy Online Standard is scheduled to be submitted for approval as a draft standard for test use at the Daisy Board meeting this weekend.
• The test implementations will allow DAISY developers to develop products or implement protocol into existing and new DAISY readers – hardware and software.
• The next step could be to extend the standard to enable communication between two Service Providers for the interchange of content - the Global Library?
