scope:

ISO/IEC 24751 is a multi-part standard that defines an AccessForAll framework to enable:

• Individuals to discover, explore, refine, prioritize and request their personally unique preferences, for a given context, and

• AccessForAll services to satisfy the individual preferences by delivering a match (e.g, by finding, assembling, developing, recruiting or using other strategies to deliver products, services, configurations or environments that match the preferences [herein referred to as AfA resources])

AccessForAll is in large part motivated by the goal of addressing currently unmet or poorly met preferences (where the term 'preferences' encompasses the range from critical needs to preferences). This goal is in part satisfied by registries, which are open to any individual or organization, to register possible preference concepts (as AccessForAll Preference Concepts), including concepts associated with unanticipated, emerging or new preferences. These registered AccessForAll Preference Concepts might then be used to express individual preferences within a broad diversity of AccessForAll implementing services. An AccessForAll Concept Registry is intended to register possible preference concepts; it is not used for individuals to declare or store personal preferences or personal preference sets (AfA Preference Statement), this is achieved through AccessForAll services that support discovery, exploration, refinement, prioritization and matching of Individual Preference Statements. (An AccessForAll Preference Concept might itself be able to represent a preference or it may require qualification and/or combination with other preference concepts to form a preference through an AfA Preference Statement).

Future Parts

This International Standard is designed to accommodate developments in technology and implementations and supports the addition of more parts in the future.
