Definition of Closed that was presented at Plenary
Any product where the user is prevented from installing or attaching
adaptive assistive technology due to physical, electrical or policy
restrictions.
- this can be specific to the application rather than the hardware. That
is, a desktop computer that is purchased with library card catalog software
(where the desktop computer will be locked down) would be closed and could
only be evaluated with AT if the AT was to be installed in the closed
products as purchased. Similarly a PC in a Kiosk would be closed. A PC
on a user's desktop where the user can install any software they need would
not be closed.
