"The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect."
Tim Berners-Lee

Availability of digital information through the Web holds great promise for people with disabilities. The World Wide Web Consortium is promoting a high degree of usability through the Web Accessibility Initiative. WAI actions concern five primary areas of work : technology, guidelines, tools, education and outreach, and research and development.

 

INRIA, the institute that leads W3C in Europe, takes a significant part in the WAI actions. Daniel Dardailler, Project Manager for the Web Accessibility Initiative, works at W3C/INRIA site in Sophia Antipolis.
