Documentation

This repository holds the JSON-LD definition of the OpenActive Accessibility Support controlled vocabulary.

This controlled vocabulary MUST be referenced within a Concept via inScheme using the URL "https://openactive.io/accessibility-support" (which will return the JSON-LD definition if the Accept header contains application/ld+json).

This controlled vocabulary SHOULD be retrieved frequently using an HTTP GET and cached within an application, to ensure that the most up-to-date version is displayed to the user, while also protecting against network failure when accessing the underlying resource. To access this controlled vocabulary the application MUST GET the URL "https://openactive.io/accessibility-support/accessibility-support.jsonld" (note there is no www in the URL) which does not require a specific Accept header, and is cached via CDN. The controlled vocabulary is also available via a GET of the URL "https://openactive.io/accessibility-support" using an Accept header of application/ld+json, for completeness, however this shorter URL MUST NOT be used in production.

Please raise requests for content or issues related to this controlled vocabulary via GitHub.
