 +<note tip>If you want more support on writing long descriptions beyond this written documentation. We recommend you check out the following webinars:
 +  * [[https://daisy.org/news-events/articles/art-science-describing-images-part-2-w/|The Art and Science of Describing Images Part Two]] DAISY webinar that goes into describing Maps, Graphs, and Charts
 +  * [[https://daisy.org/news-events/articles/art-science-describing-images-part-3-w/|The Art and Science of Describing Images Part Three]] DAISY webinar that goes into describing Artwork and Anatomy
 +  * [[https://daisy.org/news-events/articles/implementing-extended-descriptions-w/|Implementing Extended Descriptions in Digital Publications, Best Practices and Practical Advice]] DAISY webinar on how to create Long Description in an ebook. This is a bit more technical and talks more about how to code the pieces of the book and where to put the information.
 +These are all very helpful with learning about writing complex long descriptions.</note>
