Oh, is there confusion creeping in here? There is no question that there is an accessibility community and they work on accessibility and they are interested in the accessibility of resources. What is proposed is the name of the element to be used for the adaptable characteristics of the resource - and for that, the more generic name 'adaptability' is recommended. This term would then be used by the accessibility community in an accessibility application profile that would include other DC elements alongside the new one to describe what cannot described now - the adaptability of digital resources. Thee is already interest in the education community to produce an application profile for describing the accessibility of what is known as mixed-learning environments, where digital resources are mixed with physical, real wold resources. There is a project aiming to develop a vocabulary to be used to describe the accessibility of physical places and events. That project is likely to produce an application profile using the element. It seems it might also be used by the mobility community in an application profile that would allow them to focus on transformations for different devices and locations, etc ... etc... Liddy
