Title
A comparative assessment of Web accessibility and technical standards conformance in four EU states
Abstract
Abstract The Internet is playing a progressively more important part in our day to day life, through its power of making information universally available. People with disabilities have particular opportunities to benefit. Using the Internet in conjunction with dedicated assistive technologies, tasks that were very dicult,if not impossible to achieve for people with various types of disability can now be made fully accessible—at least, in principle. However, in practice, many online resources and services are still poorly accessible to those with disability due to unsatisfactory Web content design. Design of accessible Web content is codified in standards and guidelines of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Conformance with W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG) (and/or similar, derivative, guidelines) is now the subject of considerable activity, both legal and tech- nical, in many dierent jurisdictions. This paper presents results of a comparative survey of Web accessibil- ity guidelines and HTML standards conformance for samples of Web sites
