DAISY Accessibility Metadata Viewer

Web site: https://daisy.github.io/a11y-meta-viewer/

Organization: DAISY Consortium

The DAISY Accessibility Metadata Viewer is a free browser-based testing tool that allows users to review the metadata that will be generated according to the display guidelines and techniques. It can run online or downloaded and run locally.

To use the tool, a user only needs to paste an EPUB package document or ONIX record into the user interface. The viewer has options to display either the descriptive or compact display statements, as well as to select the display language and suppress fields for which no information is available.

The site provides some free sample records for testing purposes for users who not have access to digital publication metadata.
