Wiki pages for issue 254 Re: Accessibility of places for schema.org

Hi folks,

I started to track this on the github wiki: <https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/wiki/Issue-254-properties-we-might-want> and <https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/wiki/Issue-254-References>. It is issue 254 <https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/254> in the github repository...

cheers

> Looking at these, they are all review-based using a 5-star rating, which is an important use case. We actually have most of the review pieces in place, so could do this if we only had a vocabulary for "what to review".
>
> I want to use the same vocabulary of "what to review" for places to actually publish their own information on their own website. While we can't be sure of its "truthiness" without comparing it to reviews, those are also less than perfectly reliable…
>
> The simplest of these sites, planat, just has 3 categories of "disability" and a 1-5 rating. I found very little review data there.
>
> AbleRoad has what seems like a pretty substantial "vocabulary" - 48 terms, of which some match things we already cover elsewhere in schema like "website accessibility". There are at least 4 terms for staff - knowledgeable/respectful (related to cognitive disability), assistance (related to sight) and sensitive (related to hearing). That seems more than we want in schema, at least at first. Likewise there are other things that we should think about how to do on a scalable basis, rather than copying wholesale.
>
> AXSmap also has a vocabulary, although since I didn't watch the video or sign in I don't know exactly what it covers. The example you pointed to suggested that theirs is simpler than AbleRoad's, but there are a bunch of things in common.
>>  AbleRoad has four tabs with multiple ratings for different facets:

>>
>>  Planat.com seems to have a single score for each of visually impaired,
>>  hearing impaired and wheelchair-using:
>>  <http://www.planat.com/venue/19674>
>>
>>  AXSmap has a series of ratings:
>>  <http://www.axsmap.com/venue/ChIJa-2hCM00K4gRMlSgKZjTTgA/?back=%3Fwhat%3DEverything%26where%3Dtoronto%26filter%3Dtrue%26entry%3D3>
>>
>>  There is lots of data to work from.
>
> Sure. Let's start collecting and analysing it a bit more systematically. I'll try to set up a wiki page later today.
