Re: [dita-learningspec] Accessibility metadata

[Allyn Radford <allynr@learnilities.com.au>]

There is some movement in accessibility metadata that is relevant to our 
discussions.  The ISO and IMS have been building on the work that each 
has been doing over the years.  The latest effort is to take the latest 
version of the ISO metadata work back to the IMS and to ensure a system 
as a whole can function correctly when working with the IMS 
Accessibility Learner Information Profile (ACCLIP) and the Access for 
All (IMS AFA) metadata which is moving back from ISO to IMS.  It is not 
clear whether IMS will deprecate its accessibility metadata in favor of 
the ISO work (more or less like the step that was taken with IEEE LOM).

The current public document for reference is:
Reference number: ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 36 N 1140

New work has been done since this effort and I will try to find out how 
far away that work is from public release.  It might be waiting on the 
current IMS work prior to finalization.  I will seek to clarify both 
pieces of the effort.

Thanks
