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...
