Links to origins of values for @action, @destination, @distraction
matatk opened this issue · 2 comments
Having read Module 1, I think the current set of values is a great fit, and I know it's based on the experience and research of many authoritative people.
I think it'd be helpful for readers and implementers if we were to provide references to the rationale for/origin of this specific set of token values for these attributes. It's quite hard to get to and search the minutes of the groups (can't download and explore locally). I have found some promising resources (below, thanks to the pointers last week) but haven't got full answers to this yet (working on it but out of time for the moment; additional pointers welcome).
Given the work that has gone into this already, I consider this a lower priority issue than others we need to address, and maybe it's one we will re-visit regularly in future as a matter of course anyway, but if there is info people have to hand about the background here, it'd be great to include pointers to it where we can. I plan to continue researching.
Resources:
- COGA Semantics Google Doc—merged into the Personalization TF's specs. Some really good comments and background resources here, but I'm still not sue of the reason the list ended up being this particular list. I'm particularly interested in any public research we can cite from general UX and/or specific accessibility research/evaluation.
- Personalization TF mailing list traffic including minutes (these months suggested on our 2021-04-19 call)
For reference, @snidersd provided a lot of research on historic discussions around action
, destination
, and purpose on the thread Historical info on action, destination, & purpose (direct link)
We discussed this on today's call and agreed this does not block CR. We will continue doing research and update wiki pages etc. based on whatever we find. We also note that Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and Learning Disabilities is a generally very helpful related document.
