(space separated ids); WG Notes: [EDITORZ] Discussed in the 08 February 2007 telecon: Action: Gregg , John, David to clean up web page definition http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2007/02/08-wai-wcag-minutes.html Discussed in the 15 March 2007 telecon: Resolution: accept definition of web page as amended http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2007/03/15-wai-wcag-minutes.html {accept} Response: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/2007Jun/0047.html; Resolution: We have replaced the term "Web unit" with "Web page" and have modified the section on new terms, http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20070517/#new-terms, to describe our use of the term "Web page" in greater detail. We have also added an example of content that may not immediately be recognized as a "Web page." See http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20070517/#webpagedef . Web page a resource that is referenced by a URI and is not embedded in another resource, plus any other resources that are used in the rendering or intended to be rendered together with it Note: Although any "other resources" would be rendered together with the primary resource, they would not necessarily be rendered simultaneously with each other. Example 1: When you enter http://shopping.example.com/ in your browser you enter a movie-like interactive shopping environment where you visually move about a store dragging products off of the shelves around you into a visual shopping cart in front of you. Clicking on a product causes it to be demonstrated with a specification sheet floating alongside. Example 2: A Web resource including all embedded images and media. Example 3: A Web mail program built using Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX). The program lives entirely at http://mail.example.com, but includes an inbox, a contacts area and a calendar. Links or buttons are provided that cause the the inbox, contacts, or calendar to display, but do not change the URL of the page as a whole. Example 4: A customizable portal site, where users can choose content to display from a set of different content modules.; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
