Accessibility metadata allows users to assess whether a digital book meets their specific needs before purchasing it. In specific circumstances, accessibility metadata may not completely reflect your efforts or potential limitations. In this case, a specific field allows you to directly write a short text describing what is not represented by other metadata.

Objectives

• Improve accessibility of content to readers with disabilities.
• Permettre aux plateformes de distribution de mieux signaler les caractéristiques d’accessibilité des ouvrages.

Implementation

• Rédiger le contenu de l’élément accessibilitySummary pour le fichier OPF.
• Rédiger le contenu du code ONIX 196-92 Addenda sur l’accessibilité.

Control

• Verify the presence and relevance of an accessibility summary in the digital book’s OPF file.
• Verify the presence and relevance of a pertinent Accessibility Addendum in the ONIX record (code 196-92).
• Verify that accessibility information is correctly displayed on online bookstore product pages.
