Hi, I'm a new Linked Data for Accessibility group member. My interest is in linking the wayfinding common to map apps like Google's to facility wayfinding. I'd like to talk to anyone in that area. By the above, I mean giving the disabled (and everyone) the ability to get directions all the way from their home to the Admissions Office of a major college like UCLA, for example. The current situation is that Google Maps will get the user to a spot somewhere in the center of UCLA, and then that user is on his own to find a way to the Admissions Office, possibly passing closer parking lots and steps challenging a wheelchair driver. Better would be if UCLA could produce a wayfinding app for their campus, filtered for a wheelchair, but able to integrate into Google Maps so that the user would at least start in the best parking lot. The UCLA folks would do their part if they had a standard to which they could comply so that Google Maps and their competitors could integrate. Imagine if you got out of your car and the directions continue with something like, "Take the east-facing sidewalk 500 meters to the north entrance of the Ackerman Building. Take the elevator to the third floor..." Those facility wayfinding objects require a standard for integration.
