audio description

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

An audio description (called an "auditory description" in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 [WCAG10]) is either a prerecorded human voice or a synthesized voice (recorded or generated dynamically) describing the key visual elements of a movie or other animation. The audio description is synchronized with (and possibly included as part of) the audio track of the presentation, usually during natural pauses in the audio track. Audio descriptions include information about actions, body language, graphics, and scene changes.
auditory description

From Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2000-02-03) | Glossary for this source

An "auditory description" provides information about actions, body language, graphics, and scene changes in a video. Auditory descriptions are commonly used by people who are blind or have low vision, although they may also be used as a low-bandwidth equivalent on the Web. An auditory description is either a pre-recorded human voice or a synthesized voice (recorded or automatically generated in real time). The auditory description must be synchronized with the auditory track of a video presentation, usually during natural pauses in the auditory track.
class description

From OWL Web Ontology Language Guide (2004-02-10) | Glossary for this source

describes an OWL class, either by a class name or by specifying a class extension of an unnamed anonymous class
collated text transcript

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

A collated text transcript is a text equivalent of a movie or other animation. More specifically, it is the combination of the text transcript of the audio track and the text equivalent of the visual track. For example, a collated text transcript typically includes segments of spoken dialogue interspersed with text descriptions of the key visual elements of a presentation (actions, body language, graphics, and scene changes). See also the definitions of text transcript and audio description. Collated text transcripts are essential for individuals who are deaf-blind.
eCMAScript

From Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) Version 2.0 (2004-03-16) | Glossary for this source

A standard version of JavaScript backed by the European Computer Manufacturer's Association. See [ECMASCRIPT]
events and scripting, event handler, eventhandler,

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

User agents often perform a task when an event having a particular "event type" occurs, including user interface events, changes to content, loading of content, and requests from the operating environment. Some markup languages allow authors to specify that a script, called an event handler, be executed when an event of a given type occurs. An event handler is explicitly associated with an element when the event handler is associated with that element through markup or the DOM. The term "event bubbling" describes a programming style where a single event handler dispatches events to more than one element. In this case, the event handlers are not explicitly associated with the elements receiving the events (except for the single element that dispatches the events). Note: The combination of HTML, style sheets, the Document Object Model (DOM), and scripting is commonly referred to as "Dynamic HTML" or DHTML. However, as there is no W3C specification that formally defines DHTML, this document only refers to event handlers and scripts.
RDF (Resource description framework)

From Requirements for String Identity Matching and String Indexing (1998-07-10) | Glossary for this source

A data model and streaming format for metadata, with search engines and inference engines as potential users. Much metadata is textual, and a basic operation is to decide whether two elements of metadata are the same or not. For consistent behavior, string identity matching is necessary.
RDF (Resource description framework)

From Glossary of "Weaving the Web" (1999-07-23) | Glossary for this source

A framework for constructing logical languages that can work together in the Semantic Web. A way of using XML for data rather than just documents.
script

From Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) Version 2.0 (2004-03-16) | Glossary for this source

A fragment of logic written in a client-side scripting language, especially ECMAScript , which is a scripting language that must be supported by any VoiceXML interpreter .
script

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

In this document, the term "script" almost always refers to a scripting (programming) language used to create dynamic Web content. However, in checkpoints referring to the written (natural) language of content, the term "script" is used as in Unicode [UNICODE] to mean "A collection of symbols used to represent textual information in one or more writing systems."Information encoded in (programming) scripts may be difficult for a user agent to recognize. For instance, a user agent is not expected to recognize that, when executed, a script will calculate a factorial. The user agent will be able to recognize some information in a script by virtue of implementing the scripting language or a known program library (e.g., the user agent is expected to recognize when a script will open a viewport or retrieve a resource from the Web).
service description

From Web Services Glossary (2004-02-11) | Glossary for this source

A service description is a set of documents that describe the interface to and semantics of a service.

text transcript

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

A text transcript is a text equivalent of audio information (e.g., an audio-only presentation or the audio track of a movie or other animation). It provides text for both spoken words and non-spoken sounds such as sound effects. Text transcripts make audio information accessible to people who have hearing disabilities and to people who cannot play the audio. Text transcripts are usually created by hand but may be generated on the fly (e.g., by voice-to-text converters). See also the definitions of captions and collated text transcripts.
transcript

From Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2000-02-03) | Glossary for this source

A "transcript" is a text representation of sounds in an audio clip or an auditory track of a multimedia presentation. A "collated text transcript" for a video combines (collates) caption text with text descriptions of video information (descriptions of the actions, body language, graphics, and scene changes of the visual track). Collated text transcripts are essential for individuals who are deaf-blind and rely on braille for access to movies and other content.
