Some of us have been looking at Diagrammar recently both from the Dpub and accessible graphics perspectives: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-dpub-aria/2015Aug/0030.html Has informed work on the ARIA-Dpub module https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/f18bba4c6c569e507d6c62096d3b41263e67887c/aria/dpub.html And also the work on making direct graphical access possible: https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/f18bba4c6c569e507d6c62096d3b41263e67887c/svg-aam/svg-aam.html http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/3194faf5754be953e3bc058c3092e009a30e1843/aria/graphics.html > Such a framework seems to be just what is needed to allow a personalization mechanism to deliver the appropriate levels of content to meet the cognitive abilities of the individual user. > Yes, and the work to support personalization is now assigned to the newly chartered ARIA WG: http://www.w3.org/2015/10/aria-charter.html#deliverables This is continuation of work begun in the now defunct Indie-UI: http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/wiki/Main_Page#User_Context hth Janina > Best regards > > Mike -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.443.300.2200 sip:janina@asterisk.rednote.net Email: janina@rednote.net Linux Foundation Fellow Executive Chair, Accessibility Workgroup: http://a11y.org The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Chair, Protocols & Formats http://www.w3.org/wai/pf
