Need to define accepted values for Accessibility #38

Closed monfresh closed 9 years ago

These should be part of the standard. A good starting point could be the ones we've used for SMC: https://github.com/codeforamerica/ohana-api/wiki/Populating-the-Postgres-database-from-a-JSON-file#accessibility

Enumerations such as accessibility should be optional and in a separate table. This allows for domain specific or location specific folksonomies. OpenReferral defines a core set of elements. Profiles will implement domain or location specific values.

That being said, we can incorporate these values in an example "San Mateo County" profile.

There's probably a limited set of accessibility options, so just like we define an accepted set of "types" for Phone (voice, fax, or tty), couldn't we do the same for accessibility?
