Description

The explanation of the [registered braille codes](https://daisy.github.io/ebraille/registries/codes/#registered-codes) is currently limited to one short string, derived from the "index-name" metadata of the corresponding Liblouis translation tables. For example:

- braille code: `NABCC no-grade comp8`
- index-name metadata of corresponding Liblouis table: "English, U.S., computer, NABCC"

(Note that the purpose of the index-name metadata is to be used within a table selection form, e.g. a dropdown list. The strings are brief and make for a clear list when sorted alphabetically.)

It would be good if we could use a more descriptive string, and possibly add more metadata. For example:

>


>
NABCC no-grade comp8

>
North American Braille Computer Code

>
Locale:
>

    >
  • en-US

  • >

>

>
8-dot system

>
Authority: ICEB
