SUBJECT: DC Accessibility Metadata Proposal for Comment
This is to request comments on "DC-Accessibility Element Proposal:
Accessibility"
<http://www.ozewai.org/DC-term-proposal/prop-reqs-table2.html>. It proposes
a new element "Accessibility" for the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set used
in information discovery systems.
The new element references a machine-readable profile of a resource that
can be matched to a user profile. As an example, this allows an animation
in a web page to be automatically replaced with a text alternative, for
those users who cannot view the animation.
The proposal contains more details, including links to an Information
Model, Overview, Best Practice Guide and example XML encoding.
Comments are invited to the DC Accessibility Working Group by e-mail, or
posted to the group's list, by ?? September 2004. Contact details are on
the group web page at <http://dublincore.org/groups/access/>.
