Microdata Hooks (Rough Sketches)
1. Prompt users to identify access hazards in OA tool (videos, simulations, etc)
1a. Add A11y microdata tag in generated markup, per this example from A11y site (not
this
exact implementation, but simply an example of associating an access hazard
microdata tag within a media div)
<div itemprop="video" id="videoMLK">
<p>Warning: This video contains <span itemprop="accessHazard">flashing</span> that may cause seizures in some individuals. The <a itemprop="hasAdaptation" href="#mlkAudio">audio track of the speech</a> is separately available below as an alternative.</p> <video src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smEqnnklfYs" controls=""> <track src="captions.webvtt" type="captions"/> </video> </div>
1b.) Write enactor that hides divs which contain access hazard microdata
2. Allow users to include links to supplementary material in OA Allow users to tag supplementary links as "auditory" "visual" "textual" "transcript" etc
2a. Add hasAdaptation microdata tag to these URLs Add meta accessMode microdata tags such as "auditory" or "visual" to these
2b. Write enactor that finds divs with hasAdaptation and opens supplementary materials for appropriate access modes based on preference
3. Allow users to create translations or simplified text
3a. Create links to alternative texts in a div and label with alternativeText microdata tag
use inLanguage microdata tag to specify translation language
