Description
I have been asked to file an issue about the availability of accessibility metadata for journal articles. The Accessibility task force sent out the announcement below. We anticipate that our next phase of work will focuse on journal articles. I was also asked to contact the JATS Accessibility task force and share this issue with them.
Accessibility metadata display guide for digital publications 2.0 third and final public draft available for review
The Accessibility task force of the W3C Publishing Community Group is pleased to announce the third draft of the “Accessibility metadata display guide for digital publications 2.0”.
This is the final draft. We anticipate organizations to create implementations based on this final draft. We anticipate minor suggestions to be made as the implementations are developed. Please provide your valuable feedback on or before April, 11, 2025.
The drafts are available at the following URLs:
We have added to this final draft all the strings displayed by the guide. The strings in US English are contained in the canonical JSON file found on GitHub. We anticipate providing localized versions of this file moving forward and encourage anyone who would like to help with the localizations/translations to review these localizations as they become available.
Please file a GitHub issue with your feedback. If you are uncomfortable filing a GitHub issue, feel free to send me the comment and I will file the issue on your behalf.
Sincerely,
George Kerscher, Chief Information Officer, DAISY Consortium
on behalf of the W3C Publishing Community Accessibility task force
