Hello George, not as far as I know of and it might be beyond the scope of DSpace. Accessiblity of content depends on who you are targeting and not only on the form but the content itself, like following plain language guidelines. This will not be automatically testable.
If you are targeting only a specific group like the blind and visually impaired, there might be automatic tests either in workflow or as curation task which can be integrated. One other thing would be to integrate accessibility metadata to properly identify the content. I think there has been an accessiblity metadata project but don't know, what has become of it. And this is a tricky part, unless you are always only having one original bitstream. This is metadata belonging to the bitstream and is not part of the discovery. Making it item based metadata and having multiple files with different accessiblity properties, these will not be distinguishable by the end user.

Hello: I was asked if DSpace is looking into adding accessibility checking to the content that is submitted into the Repository. Is this something on the features to-do list?
