Call for Participation in Linked Data for Accessibility Community Group

The Linked Data for Accessibility Community Group has been launched:

The Linked Data for Accessibility Community Group’s mission is to make accessibility information about buildings, services and routes easier to find — everywhere where people need it. This is done (1) by creating a common and open standard vocabulary for accessibility and (2) by providing a central place for the web community to discuss issues around physical accessibility data. (3) This group may publish Specifications based on the outcome of (1) and (2).

In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2020-03-27 by Björn Uhlig. The following people supported its creation: Björn Uhlig, Holger Dieterich, Ted Guild, Shadi Abou-Zahra, Sebastian Felix Zappe. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.

The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.

We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
