(Floe) Accessibility Metadata Automatic Generation by Content Type
Based on content type, it is possible to facilitate the authoring of metadata by automatically generating values based on what is known about the content's context and content type.
Table: Metadata by Content Type
This table attempts to organize the Access for All metadata according to content type - the idea is that certain types of content only require certain metadata.
Example 1: metadata for a video file will likely have Auditory and Visual metadata specified.
Example 2: metadata for an audio file will not require visual metadata - thus those metadata fields can be hidden from the user.
Thus it is possible to:
Only show metadata fields that are required by certain media type and hide unnecessary metadata fields.
Provide sensible defaults based on content type.
AC says: I've added some "questions" to the table as follows:[x] = I don't think this should be available[?] = Why is this available? I either don't understand why, or I'm not sure about it
