It is always the details that take the time! or so it seems :-) ISO/IEC JTC1 is about to release the final version of the first parts of AccessFor All standard (24751, Parts 1-3) and other parts are under development. As most of you know, it is not possible to simply use the ISO standard in DC because it does not comply fully with the DCMI Abstract Model or the RDF Abstract Model. In order to make it possible to use this standard then, it has been necessary to provide an alternative version of it that is as close to the same as possible. The current proposal complies with the DCAM, has the same content as the ISO/IEC standard, and can be used with any resource. It should be possible to cross-walk from this DC version to implementations of the ISO/IEC version without loss and, hopefully, go the other way too. Recently I have added definitions for a vocabulary for accessMode, probably the most useful of the new terms for users and the term that is recommended for use whenever possible, by everyone, for all resources. I would like your comments on this proposed vocabulary. See http://dublincore.org/accessibilitywiki/ElementsVocabularies Liddy
