Re: Welcome and work plan [via Accessibility Discoverability Vocabulary for Schema.org Community Group]

We should have the first version published as soon as possible due to 
dependency of CR stage of EPUb Accessibility 1.1.
There are a lot of things that can be improved, but it would be good to 
maintain backward compatibility with the terms used by EPUb Accessibility, 
so that publishers do not have to do a major change in their workflows.

With regards
Avneesh

Sorry for the duplication. This is just a repeat of the email I sent earlier 
but reformatted and put as a blog entry on the CG's home page for anyone who 
wants to learn more about the group. I didn't realize it would go out to the 
list, or I suppose I could have just written it once. Live and learn...

for Schema.org Community Group]

This group represents a continuation of the Accessibility Metadata Project 
that was initiated by Benetech in 2013 to bring metadata for discovering the 
accessible properties of resources to the Web through schema.org. The 
original properties were based on the Access for All metadata from IMS 
Global, but some unique properties have subsequently been added.



When that project wrapped up, the Web Schemas wiki was used to maintain the 
vocabulary of terms, but that wiki page is no longer actively maintained. It’s 
taken a little while to find a formal way to reform the work, but this W3C 
Community Group will now be the official maintenance group for those 
vocabularies. This is in keeping with how other groups are maintaining their 
properties for schema.org.



The first order of business is to republish the vocabulary in the wiki as a 
Community Group document. Our intention is to publish the vocabulary out of 
the Community Group’s GitHub repository, as this will allow us to quickly 
address issues as they arise. The editor’s draft represents a 
straight-forward port of the old wiki. By publishing, we will get a stake in 
the ground before beginning to tackle the tracker issues. This will also 
allow us to formally retire the old wiki without delay.



Once we have a published document, we will begin to work at the issues in 
the tracker. We will be using GitHub to resolve issues as much as possible 
as it provides an open and easily discovered record of our discussions and 
decisions. We are not planning to hold regular teleconferences at this time 
but may schedule some if problems arise that we cannot solve by tracker 
alone.



We will try to republish the vocabulary with each issue we resolve.



For more information about the group, please also review the readme on the 
GitHub repository and the group's charter document.
