WCAG Guideline 13. Provide clear navigation mechanisms.

Metadata enhances the usability of the search facilities which access the web pages. The mandated set of AGLS metadata elements and their attributes presents a logical, consistent set of metadata values to provide discovery of the web pages and to present them to the user in the best and most appropriate way.

Requirement

Only metadata should be used that conforms to KSCU Metadata specifications based on the AGLS metadata schema. Editor-generated metadata and developer-focused metadata are not to be included.
