Information technology -- Individualized adaptability and accessibility in e-learning, education and training -- Part 3: "Access for all" digital resource description

ISO/IEC 24751-3:2008 provides a common language for describing digital learning resources to facilitate matching of those resources to learners' accessibility needs and preferences (as defined in ISO/IEC 24751-2). This description is one side of a pair of descriptions used in matching user needs and preferences with education delivery (as described in ISO/IEC 24751-1).

ISO/IEC 24751-3:2008 discusses the basic principles adhered to in developing this model for describing digital learning resources. It explains: the assumptions made in developing ISO/IEC 24751-3:2008, the notion of an original and adapted resource, the major categories of metadata for original and adapted resources, the notion of an access mode for a resource, what is meant by adaptability, and the importance of interoperability and the role played by consistent implementation in interoperability.

It contains the information model for ISO/IEC 24751-3, including the attribute, allowed occurrence and datatype of each element.

It defines and describes how the terms in the information model should be used, and explains how ISO/IEC 24751-3:2008 can be extended.

It discusses conformance to ISO/IEC 24751-3. Conforman
