## 3. Registry

This table summarizes the known values available for use with the [Presentation API][prezi-api] `provides` propery, which defines accessibility functionality that a linked resource enables for its target, describing why and how a client might use it rather than what the resource is by type or format. The current approved values are defined by Schema.org's [Accessibility Properties for Discoverability Vocabulary][schema-accessibility] and the IIIF Community.

This table summarizes the known values available for use with the [Presentation API][prezi-api] `provides` property, which defines accessibility functionality that a linked resource enables for its target, describing why and how a client might use it rather than what the resource is by type or format.

The definitions in this table are the definitions of the values for use with `provides`. Where a value originates in an external source, principally the [Accessibility Properties for Discoverability Vocabulary][schema-accessibility] published by the W3C Accessibility Discoverability Vocabulary for Schema.org Community Group, but also others, the Source column links to the original term for reference only; the definition given here takes precedence. Values with the source IIIF are defined by the IIIF Community.
