But to begin, I looked at the various codings of media types in library data and see no conflicts with accessmode and mediafeature. In fact, I think that these could add some very useful information that library data does not contain in a terribly usable way. I noted, however, the "adaptation" data, which looks like: hasadaptation: https://www.bookshare.org/download/book?titleInstanceId=18041&downloadFormat=DAISY_AUDIO hasadaptation: https://www.bookshare.org/download/book?titleInstanceId=18041&downloadFormat=BRF hasadaptation: https://www.bookshare.org/download/book?titleInstanceId=18041&downloadFormat=EPUB3 The "adaptations" here are what I would think of as alternate digital formats, and would fit into http://schema.org/encodingFormat. I agree with Chaals that directionality between these alternate formats is often difficult to determine. I am thinking of this in terms of eBooks, where many different formats are generated simultaneously. But what I don't know is whether there is significance to the directionality in the accessibility environment, so perhaps you can address that. I also would prefer that the term "adaptation" not be used for changes in format/encoding, since in the academic and bibliographic world that term refers to changes in the *content* not the physical or digital format.
