On https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/190639 we might find the following markup around the links to download the book:
<div itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Book">
<link rel="bookFormat" href="http://schema.org/EBook/DAISY3"/>
<meta itemprop="accessibilityControl" content="fullKeyboardControl">
<meta itemprop="accessibilityControl" content="fullMouseControl">
<meta itemprop="accessibilityFeature" content="longDescription">
<meta itemprop="accessibilityFeature" content="alternativeText">
...
</div>This indicates that the book is available as text that is resizable, in digital braille or as an MP3. It can also be read in the browser using either just the keyboard or just the mouse. Finally, long images descriptions have been added to the book to provide rich descriptions of complex images. If we were using this metadata in the Learning Registry, we might also add:
<dc:format>ANSI/NISO Z39.86-2005</dc:format>
<dc:format>Braille-Ready Format</dc:format>
<dc:format>audio/mp3</dc:format>In side the eBook, we might find images using the following markup:
<img id="watergraphic_desc" src="/images/watergraphic.jpg" border="0" alt="The
hydrologic cycle; explanations are contained in the text."
longdesc="watergraphic_desc.xml"/>You can see an example of the long description for the above image http://diagramcenter.org/images/stories/watergraphic.jpg at http://diagramcenter.org/examples/minimally_complete.xml
