An accessibility review of Data Catalog Vocabulary (Version 3) was requested of the APA as part of our role in performing horizontal review of W3C documents for accessibility concerns.

It was reviewed by APA member Paul Grenier who made the following comments that were approved by the working group. We are requesting the addition of an Accessibility Considerations section.

1. The addition of an Accessibility Considerations section at the same level of Security and Privacy can help increase awareness of accessibility issues in data.
2. In an Accessibility Considerations section, I'd like to see a recommendation to, when possible, enforce alternative text for non-text data resources through the DCAT profile mechanisms or systems supporting the creation and editing of such data. This will help applications using the data to conform to WCAG 1.1 Text Alternatives (https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/text-equiv.html).
