What happened to accessibility?

[Peter Pinch]

Did the proposed accessibility metadata get removed?

There were fields based on WCAG in the 0.5 draft at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/LRMI/Specification_v0.5

But I don't see any in the 0.7 draft at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/LRMI/Properties/Version_0.7

Thanks,
Peter

Hello Peter,

Good question.

The short-ish answer is: Giving the complexity of accessibility-related
metadata terms and the intended stream-lining ("simplicity") of LRMI it
was too difficult, in the limited amount of time, to draft a proposal
that meet the widest possible needs in an agreable fashion.

However, I will follow-up on the accessibility framework at a later time
yet to be determined (in consultation with interested parties).

All the best,

Greg
