Introduction

ISO/IEC 24751 is intended to facilitate the matching of individual user needs and preferences with resources [note:interfaces are used to access resources] that meet those needs and preferences to enable appropriate perception of the resources. This matching might involve finding a suitable resource or interface, or format of a resource, or it might involve adaptation of the resource or its interface. It is intended to address mismatches between personal needs and preferences caused by any number of circumstances, including requirements related to client devices, environments, language proficiency or abilities. The terms and definitions within ISO/IEC 24751 are not judgmental or based on disability classifications, diagnosis or assumptions regarding disability, rather they are descriptions of functions that can be applied by all users; the purpose is not to point out flaws in resources or interfaces with respect to accessibility and adaptability, but to facilitate the discovery and use of the most appropriate resource, configuration or interface for each user.
