What does accessibility mean ? / Définir l'accessibilité ?
Alistair Garrison, Accessinmind Limited, United Kingdom.
The presentation will clarify some basic concepts concerning
accessibility. It will examine how the term "accessible" may correspond to
different understandings depending on the context it is used ( W3C
recommendations, local legislations, public procurement, user
requirements, ...). But finally is will be demonstrated that these
different definition are not in contradiction but contribute together to a
global approach to more efficient services for the benefit of all users.
A Comparative Assessment of Web Accessibility
and Technical Standards Conformance in Four EU States / Evaluation
comparative de l'accessibilité du Web et du respect des standards dans quatre
pays européens
Barry McMullin and Carmen Marincu, RINCE, Dublin City University, Ireland.
The paper presents results of a comparative survey of Web accessibility guidelines
and HTML standards conformance for samples of Web sites drawn from Ireland,
the United Kingdom, France and Germany. A particular conclusion of the study
is that the general level of Web accessibility guideline conformance, and HTML
standards conformance, in all of the samples studied is very poor; and that
the pattern of failure is strikingly consistent in the four samples. Although
considerable efforts are being made to promote Web accessibility for users with
disabilities, this is certainly not yet manifesting itself through such automated
survey instruments.
