[Buildingdata] Re: Extensions to linkingyou (accessibility; publication-scheme)

[Christopher Gutteridge]

+1 for the ideas.

however I'd like to think a little while on the exact terms.

I suggest that what we need is
web-accessibility
- a page describing the digital accessibility policy, features or tools 
for this organisation's websites
physical-accessibility [[ not sure this really counts in things like 
blindness etc? better term?]]
- a page describing physical accessibility policy, features and tools 
for this organisations physical locations

ico-publication-scheme

- a page describing the ico mandated publication scheme for this 
organisation
