this source
A processing or communication service that is provided by a system to give a
specific kind of protection to resources, where said resources may
reside with said system or reside with other systems, for example,
an authentication service or a PKI-based document attribution and
authentication service. A security service is a superset of AAA
services. Security services typically implement portions of
security policies and are implemented via
security mechanisms. [RFC 2828]

The argument of an maction element (a

that is (at any given time) `selected' within the viewing state of
a MathML renderer, or by the selection attribute when the element

From User Agent
Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) |
Glossary for this
source
In this document, the term "selection"
refers to a user agent mechanism for identifying a (possibly empty)
range of content. Generally, user agents limit the type of content
that may be selected to text content (e.g., one or more fragments
of text). In some user agents, the value of the selection is
constrained by the structure of the document tree. On the screen,
the selection may be highlighted in a variety of ways, including
through colors, fonts, graphics, and magnification. The selection
may also be highlighted when rendered as synthesized speech, for
example through changes in speech prosody. The dimensions of the
rendered selection may exceed those of the viewport.The selection
may be used for a variety of purposes, including for cut and paste
operations, to designate a specific element in a document for the
purposes of a query, and as an indication of point of regard.The
selection has state, i.e., it may be "set," programmatically or
through the user interface.In this document, each viewport is
expected to have at most one selection. When several viewports
coexist, at most one viewport's selection responds to input events;
this is called the current selection.See the section on the
Selection label for information about implementing a selection and
conformance.Note: Some user agents may also implement a selection
for designating a range of information in the user agent user
interface. The current document only includes requirements for a
content selection mechanism.

From Hypertext Transfer

source
A cache behaves in a "semantically
transparent" manner, with respect to a particular response, when
its use affects neither the requesting client nor the origin
server, except to improve performance. When a cache is semantically
transparent, the client receives exactly the same response (except
for hop-by-hop headers) that it would have received had its request
been handled directly by the origin server.

A sequence constructor is a sequence of

to return a sequence of nodes and atomic values. The way that the
resulting sequence is used depends on the containing

Glossary for this

A sequence type is a type that can be
expressed using the SequenceType syntax. Sequence types are used
whenever it is necessary to refer to a type in an XQuery
expression. The term sequence type suggests that this syntax is
used to describe the type of an XQuery value, which is always a
sequence.

serial access, sequential navigation

From User Agent
Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) |
Glossary for this
source
In this document, the expression "serial
access" refers to one-dimensional access to rendered content. Some
examples of serial access include listening to an audio stream or
watching a video (both of which involve one temporal dimension), or
reading a series of lines of braille one line at a time (one
spatial dimension). Many users with blindness have serial access to
content rendered as audio, synthesized speech, or lines of braille.
The expression "sequential navigation" refers to navigation through
an ordered set of items (e.g., the enabled elements in a document,
a sequence of lines or pages, or a sequence of menu options).
Sequential navigation implies that the user cannot skip directly
from one member of the set to another, in contrast to direct or
structured navigation (see guideline 9 for information about these
types of navigation). Users with blindness or some users with a
physical disability may navigate content sequentially (e.g., by
navigating through links, one by one, in a graphical viewport with
or without the aid of an assistive technology). Sequential
navigation is important to users who cannot scan rendered content
visually for context and also benefits users unfamiliar with
content. The increments of sequential navigation may be determined
by a number of factors, including element type (e.g., links only),
content structure (e.g., navigation from heading to heading), and
the current navigation context (e.g., having navigated to a table,
allow navigation among the table cells).Users with serial access to
content or who navigate sequentially may require more time to
access content than users who use direct or structured
navigation.

A frequent requirement is to output a final

This process is referred to as serialization.
