Taxonomy straw man

SVG a11y TF,

We will discuss the role of a taxonomy and how it fits in graphics
accessibility in our first meeting. We may start looking at a taxonomy in
detail in the second meeting. I've attached a zip containing a basic
graphic taxonomy straw man. If you unzip the file, you should be able load
taxonomy.html into a browser. The web page should be accessible.

The taxonomy straw man has about 20 parts of graphics which I believe
should be included in accessibility and are organized by functional groups.
On the web page, items under the data group represent data in the graphic
(ie bars on bar chart, contour lines on a map). Items under the guide group
represent non-data items that provide scale, location or add explanation
(ie title, axis, compass rose). Items under the region group mark areas on
the graphic (ie view)

The straw man is simply a starting point. UML diagrams and some other types
of SVG graphics were not included in the straw man as I believe they will
bring up questions of taxonomy organization and synonyms which I think
should be a second step after we figure out the unique building blocks of
informational graphics.
