Re: [jats-list] Accessibility element?

Thank you Tommie, I'll take a look. We are receiving some
PDFs from the government and most are accessible as this is requirement so I
would like to note it somehow in the metadata.

Hello Ravit --

The BITS tag library has a section on Accessibility at:
  https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/extensions/bits/tag-library/2.0/chapter/accessibil
ity.html

If you have any specific questions please ask on the list; I will try to
answer, and I think there are several others on this discussion list who have
experience that may be relevant.
