Re: [jats-list] Accessibility element?

["B Tommie Usdin btusdin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What a good idea! I suggest using Custom Meta for this.

To simply state that someone says a document is accessible, you might do:
  <custom-meta-group>
    <custom-meta>
       <meta-name>accessible</meta-name>
       <meta-value>yes</meta-value>
    </custom-meta>
</custom-meta-group>

To be more specific, saying that the document WCGA 2.0 level AA, I would
suggest:
<custom-meta-group>
  <custom-meta>
    <meta-name>accessibility level</meta-name>
    <meta-value>AA</meta-value>
  </custom-meta>
</custom-meta-group>

or perhaps:

<custom-meta-group>
  <custom-meta>
    <meta-name>WCGA 2.0 level</meta-name>
    <meta-value>AA</meta-value>
  </custom-meta>
</custom-meta-group>
