This document crosswalks the accessibility metadata for Schema.org, EPUB, and ONIX.

EPUB and ONIX

The following table provides a crosswalk between the properties defined in the EPUB Accessibility specification [[EPUB-A11Y-11]] and the equivalents defined in the ONIX metadata standard [[ONIX]].

The conformsTo term used in EPUB is drawn from Dublin Core.

Unless stated otherwise, all code values are from ONIX code list 196: E-publication Accessibility Details.
