Re: [jats-list] Accessibility element?

["Lizzi, Vincent vincent.lizzi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Ravit and Tommie,

This looks like a good use for custom-meta. If there is more than one PDF then
I wonder if custom-meta would be able to identify the accessibility level of a
particular PDF in the BITS model (I'm more familiar with JATS). If PDF files
are identified in the XML using the self-uri element then possible a way to
identify the accessibility level would be to tag a named-content element
within self-uri. For example, this appears to be valid in BITS:

<self-uri content-type="pdf" xlink:href="filename.pdf">
    <named-content content-type="accessibility-level">AA</named-content>
</self-uri>

In JATS 1.2 Archiving the vocab attributes could be used to provide more
information, for example:

<self-uri content-type="pdf" xlink:href="filename.pdf">
    <named-content content-type="accessibility-level" vocab="WCAG 2.0"
vocab-identifier="https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/";
vocab-term="AA">AA</named-content>
</self-uri>

Hope this helps.

Vincent

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>
