specific-use Specific Use
Usage/Remarks
- only appears in one format (“web-only”, “print-only”, “voice-only”, “electronic-only”);
- is intended for a particular audience (the content “for-teachers” versus the content “for-students”, or the various contents “for-doctors”, “for-nurses”, and “for-the-patient”);
- is organization-sensitive material (“company-only” or “limited-distribution”) and thus not shown to all audiences;
- has a specific use that cannot be determined from the content of the material, for example, is part of continuing medical or legal education (“CME”); or
- contains an accessibility alternative that screen readers can “read” but that visual display devices will ignore. (See also the @alt attribute.)
