1. Status Of This Document
This document is an internal working draft published for review and
comment, specifically for several WAI working groups. It was created
by Harvey Bingham and is currently being
worked on as a proposed glossary for use in future versions of the Authoring
Tool Accessibility Guidelines [ATAG10], Techniques for Authoring Tool
Accessibility [ATAG-TECHS], User Agent Accessibility Guidelines [UAAG10],
Techniques for User Agent Accessibility Guidelines [UAAG-TECHS],
as well as being a proposed glossary for Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 [WCAG20] which is a W3C working
draft.
The purpose of this combined glossary is to allow comparison of
definitions, and potentially to provide a single glossary for all the
accessibility guidelines. The Evaluation and Repair group and readers of more
than one guideline will benefit from consistent uses of terms.
Comments on this document are welcomed and should be sent to wai-xtech@w3.org - list archives are
available at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/wai-xtech for review.

6. Glossary
- Accessibility
GENERIC a la
Tim's book-glossary
- The art of ensuring that, to as large an extent as
possible, facilities (such as, for example, Web access) are available to
people whether or not they have impairments of one sort or another.
- Accessibility [ATAG10]
(Also: Accessible
[ATAG10])
- Within these guidelines, "accessible Web content" and
"accessible authoring tool" mean that the content and tool can be used
by people regardless of disability.
- To understand the accessibility issues relevant to
authoring tool design, consider that many authors may be creating
content in contexts very different from your own:
- They may not be able to see, hear, move, or may not be able to
process some types of information easily or at all;
- They may have difficulty reading or comprehending text;
- They may not have or be able to use a keyboard or mouse;
- They may have a text-only display, or a small screen.
- Accessible design will benefit people in these
different authoring scenarios and also many people who do not have a
physical disability but who have similar needs. For example, someone may
be working in a noisy environment and thus require an alternative re of
audio information. Similarly, someone may be working in an eyes-busy
environment and thus require an audio equivalent to information they
cannot view. Users of small mobile devices (with small screens, no
keyboard, and no mouse) have similar functional needs as some users with
disabilities.
- Accessibility Awareness
[ATAG10] NEW 01-01-12
- An "accessibility-aware" application is one that has
been designed to account for authors' differing needs, abilities, and
technologies. In the case of authoring tools, this means that (1) care
has been taken to ensure that the content produced by user-authors is
accessible and (2) that the user interface has been designed to be
usable with a variety of display and control technologies.
- Accessibility Information
[ATAG10] NEW LINKS 01-01-12
- "Accessibility information" is content, including
information and markup, that is used to improve the accessibility of a
document. Accessibility information includes, but is not limited to, equivalent alternative information.
- Accessibility
Permission [WCAG10] [WCAG20] (PDF-Tech) NEW 01-01-08
- A PDF file can be encrypted (PDF 1.1) to protect its
contents from unauthorized access. PDF's standard security handler
defines a set of access privileges for a document, including privileges
such as modifying the document's contents, copying text and graphics
from the document, and printing the document. In PDF 1.4, this set
includes accessibility permission, which controls whether the contents
of the document are available via standard accessibility APIs to screen
readers and other assistive technology.
- Accessibility Problem
[ATAG10] (Also: Inaccessible Markup
[ATAG10]) NEW LINKS 01-01-12
- Inaccessible Web content or authoring tools cannot be
used by some people with disabilities. The Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines 1.0 WCAG 1.0 describes how to create
accessible Web content.
- Accessible [WCAG10]
[WCAG20]
- Content is accessible when it may be used by someone
with a disability.
- Accessible [ATAG10]
NEW LINKS 01-01-23
- See
Accessibility [ATAG10].
- Accessible Authoring
Practice [ATAG10]
- "Accessible authoring practices" improve the
accessibility of Web content. Both authors and tools engage in
accessible authoring practices. For example, authors write clearly,
structure their content, and provide navigation aids. Tools
automatically generate valid markup and assist authors in providing and
managing appropriate equivalent alternatives.
- Acronym [WCAG10] [WCAG20]
NEW 00-12-13
- An identifier formed from some of the letters (often
the initials) of a phrase and used as an abbreviation.
- Activate [WD-UAAG10-20010409]
NEW 01-05-05
- In this document, the verb "to activate" means
(depending on context) either:
The effect of activation depends on the type of enabled element or
user interface control. For instance, when a link is activated, the user
agent generally retrieves the linked Web resource. When a form control is
activated, it may change state (e.g., check boxes) or may take user
input (e.g., a text entry field).
- Active Element [SVG10]
NEW 01-01-12
- An active element is an element with behaviors that
may be activated (or "triggered") either through the user interface or
through scripts. Which elements are active depends on the document
language and whether the features are supported by the user agent. In
SVG documents, for example, active elements include links and element
instances with scripts (event handlers) explicitly associated with them
(for example, through the various "on" attributes: onactivate etc). Most
systems use the content focus to navigate active elements and identify
which is to be activated. An active element's behavior may be triggered
through any number of mechanisms, including the mouse, keyboard, an
Application Programming Interface (API), etc. The effect of activation
depends on the element. For instance, when a link is activated, the user
agent generally retrieves the linked resource.
- Active Element [UAAG10]
NEW LINKS 01-01-12
- An active element is an element with behaviors that
may be activated (or
"triggered") either through the user interface or through an API (e.g., by using scripts). Some element
instances may be active at times but not at others (e.g., they may be
"deactivated" through scripts, or they are only active for a period of
time determined by the author). Which elements are active depends on the
document language and whether the features are supported by the user
agent. In HTML 4.01 HTML4.01 documents, for example,
active elements include links, image maps, form controls, element
instances with a value for the "longdesc" attribute, and element
instances with scripts (event handlers) explicitly associated with them
(e.g., through the various "on" attributes). Most systems use the
content focus to navigate active elements and identify which is to be
activated. An active element's behavior may be triggered through any
number of mechanisms, including the mouse, keyboard, an API, etc. The effect of activation depends on the
element. For instance, when a link is activated, the user agent
generally retrieves the linked web
resources. When a form control is activated, it may change state
(e.g., check boxes) or may take user input (e.g., a text field). Refer
also to the definition of event handler
- Accessible design will benefit people in these
different authoring scenarios and also many people who do not have a
physical disability but who have similar needs. For example, someone may
be working in a noisy environment and thus require an alternative re of
audio information. Similarly, someone may be working in an eyes-busy
environment and thus require an audio equivalent to information they
cannot view. Users of small mobile devices (with small screens, no
keyboard, and no mouse) have similar functional needs as some users with
disabilities.
- Active Element [UA Draft]
NEWER 01-02-03
- An active element is a piece of content with behaviors that may be activated
(or "triggered") either through the user interface or through an API (e.g., by using scripts).
What constitutes an active element depends on the content. In
HTML 4 [HTML4] documents, for
example, active elements include links, image maps, form controls,
element instances with a value for the "longdesc" attribute, and element
instances with scripts (event handlers) explicitly associated with them
(e.g., through the various "on" attributes). The requirements of this
document refer only to active elements that may be recognized through markup (and not, for
example, through scripts or style sheets). Some element instances may be
active at times but not at others (e.g., they may be "deactivated"
through scripts, or they may only be active for a period of time
determined by the author).
Potential user interaction with a piece of content does not imply
that the content constitutes an active element. For example, the user
may select text an copy it to the clipboard, but the selected text is
not (necessarily) an active element, because the selection is a
functionality provided by the user agent. For the purposes of this
document, markup languages determine which elements are potentially
active elements.
The effect of activation depends on the element. For instance, when a
link is activated, the user agent generally retrieves the linked Web
resource. When a form control is activated, it may change
state (e.g., check boxes) or may take user input (e.g., a text entry
field). See also the definition of event handler.
Most systems use the content
focus to indicate which active element will be activated on
user demand.
- ActualText Value [WCAG10]
[WCAG20] (PDF-Tech) NEW 01-01-08
- Sometimes characters are rendered by graphics
commands other than showstring. For instance, an illuminated character
may be rendered by an image or a series of graphics commands. In this
situations, the Actual Text property is used to identify the character
being rendered. This character may be concantentated with adjoining text
to form a word.
- Adobe Glyph Name [WCAG10]
[WCAG20] (PDF-Tech) NEW 01-01-11
- The name of a character in the Adobe standard
character encodings, in Appendix D of the PDF 1.3 Reference Manual. The
encodings list characters, character names, and character codes used in
platform standard encodings.
- Afford, Affordance NEW 01-04-13 Human Factors &
HCI, Al Gilman
- An affordance is an effective service delivery; one
that makes it into user space where the user can actually use it. Or
the effect of the service delivery as observed within user space.
- Aging-Related Conditions
[PWD-Use-Web1] NEW 01-03-18
Judy's new "How People w/dis Use the
Web"
- Changes in people's functional ability due to aging
can include subtle and/or gradual changes in abilities or a combination
of abilities including vision, hearing, dexterity and memory. Any one of
these limitations can affect an individual's ability to access Web
content.
- Alert [ATAG10] NEW 01-01-12
- An "alert" draws the author's attention to an event
or situation. It may require a response from the author. An alert warns
the author that there are problems that need to be addressed. Attracting
the author's attention artfully can be challenging, since author
perceptions of alerts, prompts, and warnings can influence opinions of
the tool and even of accessible authoring.
An Unintrusive Alert is an alert such as an icon,
underlining, or gentle sound that can be presented to the author without
necessitating immediate action. For example, in some word processors
misspelled text is highlighted without forcing the author to make
immediate corrections. These alerts allow authors to continue editing
with the knowledge that problems will be easy to identify at a later
time. However, authors may become annoyed at the extra formatting or may
choose to ignore the alerts altogether.
An Interruptive Alert is an informative message that
interrupts the editing process for the author. For example, interruptive
alerts are often presented when an author's action could cause a loss of
data. Interruptive alerts allow problems to be brought to the author's
attention immediately. However, authors may resent the constant delays
and forced actions. Many people prefer to finish expressing an idea
before returning to edit its format.
- Alert [UAAG10] NEW 01-01-12
- To "alert" means to make the user aware of some
event, without requiring acknowledgement. For example, the user agent
may alert the user that new content is available on the server by
displaying a text message in the user agent's status bar.
- Alternative Equivalents for
Content [UAAG10] NEW
01-02-03
- Since rendered content in some forms is not always
accessible to users with disabilities, authors must supply alternative
equivalents for content. In the context of this document, the equivalent
must fulfill essentially the same function for the person with a
disability (at least insofar as is feasible, given the nature of the
disability and the state of technology), as the "primary" content does
for the person without any disability. For example, the text "The Full
Moon" might convey the same information as an image of a full moon when
presented to users. Note that equivalent information focuses on
fulfilling the same function. If the image is part of a link and
understanding the image is crucial to guessing the link target, an
equivalent must also give users an idea of the link target. User agents
must make the alternative equivalent content available to users or
software that require it (in place of and/or in addition to the
"primary" content). Alternative representations include text equivalents
(long and short, synchronized and unsynchronized) and non-text
equivalents (e.g., captions, auditory descriptions, a visual track that
shows sign language translation of a written text, etc.).
- Alternative Information
[ATAG10] NEW LINKS 01-01-13
- (Also: Equivalent Alternative
[ATAG10] & Text equivalent
WC)
- Content is "equivalent" to other content when both
fulfill essentially the same function or purpose upon presentation to the user. Equivalent
alternatives play an important role in accessible authoring practices
since certain types of content may not be accessible to all users (e.g.,
video, images, audio, etc.). Authors are encouraged to provide text
equivalents for non-text content since text may be rendered as
synthesized speech for individuals who have visual or learning
disabilities, as braille for individuals who are blind, or as graphical
text for individuals who are deaf or do not have a disability. For more
information about equivalent alternatives, please refer to the Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 1.0 WCAG 1.0.
- Alternative Keyboards or
Switches [PWD-Use-Web1] NEW
01-03-18 Judy's new "How People w/dis Use
the Web"
- Alternate keyboards or switches are hardware or
software devices used by people with physical disabilities, that provide
an alternate way of creating keystrokes that appear to come from the
standard keyboard. Examples include keyboard with extra-small or
extra-large key spacing, keyguards that only allow pressing one key at a
time, on-screen keyboards, eyegaze keyboards, and sip-and-puff switches.
Web-based applications that can be operated entirely from the keyboard,
with no mouse required, support a wide range of alternative modes of
input.
- Animation [WCAG10 Tech]
NEW 01-03-10
- In this document, the term "animation" refers to any
visual movement effect created automatically (i.e., without manual user
interaction). This definition of animation includes video and animated
images. Animation techniques include:
- graphically displaying a sequence of snapshots within the same
region (e.g., as is done for video and animated images). The series
of snapshots may be provided by a single resource (e.g., an animated
GIF image) or from distinct resources (e.g., a series of images
downloaded continuously by the user agent).
- scrolling text (e.g., achieved through markup or style
sheets).
- displacing graphical objects around the viewport (e.g., a picture
of a ball that is moved around the viewport giving the impression
that it is bouncing off of the viewport edges). For instance, the
SMIL 2.0 [SMIL20] animation modules explain how to create such
animation effects in a declarative manner (i.e., not by composition
of successive snapshots).
- Anonymization
[CC/PP] NEW 01-04-23
- Hiding the identity of the User as a security
precaution.
- Applet [WCAG10] [WCAG20]
NEW 01-01-11
- A Beginning...01-01-25 A
Java program inserted into a Web page that relies on a browser to
provide the environment in which it can run. Applets are essentially
guests of the browser. The browser takes care of their welfare and
provides and manages access to the platform specific services.
- API's
[WCAG10] [WCAG20] NEW
01-01-11
- A Beginning...01-01-25 An
application programming interface (API) defines how
communication may take place between applications.
- A device API defines how
communication may take place with an input or output device such as a
keyboard, mouse, video card, etc.
- A standard device API is one that is
considered standard for that particular device on a given operating or
windowing system.
- Application Programming Interface
(API) [UAAG10] NEW
01-01-25
- An application programming interface (API) defines how
communication may take place between applications.
- A device API defines how
communication may take place with an input or output device such as a
keyboard, mouse, video card, etc.
- A standard device API is one that is
considered standard for that particular device on a given operating or
windowing system.
- Application Programming Interface, standard
input/output/device (API) [UAAG10] Draft NEWER 01-01-25
- An application programming interface (API) defines how
communication may take place between applications.
As part of encouraging interoperability, this document recommends
using standard APIs where possible, although this
document does not define in all cases how those APIs are standardized
(i.e., whether they are defined by specifications such as W3C
Recommendations, defined by an operating system vendor, de facto
standards, etc.). Implementing APIs that are independent of a particular
operating system (e.g., the W3C DOM Level 2 specifications) may reduce
implementation costs for multi-platform user agents and promote the
development of multi-platform assistive technologies. Implementing
standard APIs defined for a particular operating system may reduce
implementation costs for assistive technology developers who wish to
interoperate with more than one piece of software running on that
operating system.
A "device API" defines how communication may take
place with an input or output device such as a keyboard, mouse, video
card, etc. A "standard device API" is one that is considered standard
for that particular device on a given operating or windowing system.
In this document, an "input/output API" defines
how applications or devices communicate with a user agent. As used in
this document, input and output APIs include, but are not limited to,
device APIs. Input and output APIs also include more abstract
communication interfaces than those specified by device APIs. A
"standard input/output API" is one that is expected to be implemented by
software running on a particular operating system. Standard input/output
APIs may vary from system to system. For example, on desktop computers
today, the standard input APIs are for the mouse and
keyboard. For touch screen devices or mobile devices, standard input
APIs may include stylus, buttons, voice, etc. The
graphical display and sound card are considered standard ouput devices
for a graphical desktop computer environment, and each has a standard
API.
- Array
[WCAG10] [WCAG20] NEW
- A Beginning...01-01-25 A
set of elements of some type that can be identified by an index,
starting in JavaScript at 0, and increasing by 1 for each subsequent
member of the array.
