SEDODEL creates, verifies and demonstrates a pilot secure document delivery service which maintains and guarantees the rights and obligations of players in the publishing chain and meets the needs of the visually impaired for increased access to information. This is achieved by integrating two technologies: Electronic Copyright Management Systems (ECMS) and accessible electronic documents. The secure service should give publishers the confidence to release to organizations of, and for, the blind and partially sighted (and to end users directly) electronic copies of their publications, thereby greatly enhancing access to information. The main results of SEDODEL are: practical experience in the implementation and operation of a secure delivery system for accessible electronic documents for blind and partially sighted people; the extension of the CopySMART ECMS to the needs of blind and partially sighted people; a document transformation system and associated reader to provide structured electronic documents in accessible forms; recommendations for appropriate changes to be incorporated into European copyright legislation which will address the specific needs of the visually impaired. The SEDODEL system is of interest to anyone who produces copyright material and wishes to make it available in an electronic form that is accessible to blind and partially sighted people.
