note = "Funding information: SUS-IT (Sustaining IT use by older people to promote autonomy and independence) was a project funded by the New Dynamics of Ageing (NDA) initiative in the UK. An ontology was developed in this project to assist a capability reasoning system in mapping users to appropriate assistive technologies []. It defines vocabularies for describing capabilities, their properties, and structural links between these capabilities. The user characteristics have been derived from a subset of the ICF standards. The ADOLENA (Abilities and Disabilities OntoLogy for ENhancing Accessibility) ontology was developed for the South African National Accessibility Portal (NAP) []. It encompasses abilities, disabilities, devices, and functionalities. ADOLENA is considered an experimental ontology that has been created as a proof-of-concept for enhancing search capabilities by Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA). ADOOLES (Ability and Disability Ontology for Online LEarning and Services) is an ontology based on ADOLENA to annotate learning resources. It represents knowledge in the domains of e-learning and disabilities [].
