Accessibility extension proposals - Adaption

Following our discussions in the last meeting, I include below a draft email to the public-vocabs list for comment before I send it to that list.

One of the issues dropped from the accepted Accessibility proposal, for further discussion<http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/Accessibility/ToDo>, was the definition of the properties hasAdaptation & isAdaptionOf.  They were noted as to be handled by the SchemaBibEx<http://www.w3.org/community/schemabibex/> group.

The main concern was the potential ambiguity that would arise from the simple use of the term ‘Adaption’.  In the Accessibility domain it inferred that the format/representation of the content has been adapted for accessibility reasons.  In the bibliographic/creative works domain, an adaption is one where the content has been changed/interpreted in a different way.  There is also potential for format-adaptions of a content-adaption of an original creative work.

The schemabibEx group discussed this in our recent meeting and came up with the following proposals:


  *   accessAdaption - URL - Identifier of a resource that is an adaptation, for accessibility purposes, for this resource.
  *   accessAdaptionOf - URL - Identifier of a resource for which this is an adaptation for accessibility purposes.
  *   contentAdaption - CreativeWork - An adaptation of the content of this work.
  *   contentAdaptionOf - CreativeWork - A work that the content of this work is adapted from.
