Hi, We had a great meeting yesterday discussing the Interaction Model Ontology that Kevin spearheaded. I just added two new lozenges to the model and thought I'd ping the list to share my additions.
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Interaction+Model+Ontology+and+Example+Proto-Model The first is "stakeholder disability". This isn't intended to simplify the complex phenomenon of disability but rather to help conceptualize a diverse set of stakeholders for our software using the model. The second is "platform accessibility". I used the "IMS Guidlines for Developing Accessible Learning Applications (http://www.imsglobal.org/accessibility/accv1p0/imsacc_guidev1p0.html). According to these guidelines, there are two ways of ensuring an application's accessibility - direct accessibility and compatible accessibility. Directly accessible software "allows a person with a disability to operate all on-screen controls and access all content without relying on the aid of an assistive technology". And a compatibility accessible application is software or a website that's designed with accessibility for assistive technologies in mind. I don't think they mean design with a specific AT product in mind (e.g. Windows Eyes) but rather seizing on existing standards and guidelines to maximize compatibility. Anyway, I hope this is a useful addition to the ontology - feel free to make changes or edits.
