All,<br>

<br>

There is a proposal open to add to DC Terms a property for accessibility<br>

information, being called accessibilityNote.[1] There is a github issue<br>

set up to receive comments, questions, etc.[2] All comments are welcome.<br>

As you might imagine, many brain cells were expended on naming the<br>

property and its definitions; the group especially wants to here if, as<br>

defined, this does or does not meet your institution's needs.<br>

<br>

It's brief so I'll save you a click and copy it here:<br>

<br>

****<br>

Name: Accessibility Note<br>

<br>

Definition: A statement describing features or deficiencies of a<br>

resource that enhance or impede its usability and accessibility.<br>

<br>

Usage Note:<br>

Applies to a diverse range of users, including but not limited to<br>

individuals with disabilities or impairments. This may include assistive<br>

technologies, alternative formats or design choices that facilitate<br>

broader usage.<br>

****<br>

<br>

You can also ask me questions here.<br>
