You might want to forward it for me. The reason is because when one is matching resources to the context one needs to match to both personal preferences AND device properties - this is particularly the case if you want (as we do) content to be deliverable across desktop and mobile devices alike. The reference below does give the general idea but is a little behind where we are at with this. We have an ISO standard - Individualized Adaptability and Accessibility for eLearning, Education and Training but its availability is tied up in ISO formatting/publication processes just at the moment. Jutta worked on this too. And we are working to integrate that and our update of it in IMS AccessForAll 2.0 (draft is in edit) with the Device Context Ontology. In ISO we are working to integrate it with the best Metadata efforts in town. It is correct also that personalisation does go beyond accessibility and in *some* areas the principles are similar. Hope this helps. Andy Heath A.K.Heath@open.ac.uk AndyHeath@axelrod.plus.com > Hi Simon, > > I know a bit about it.
