Accessibility of Web content to people with disabilities requires semantic information about widgets, structures, and behaviors, in order to allow Assistive Technologies to make appropriate transformations. This specification provides an ontology of roles, states, and properties that set out an abstract model for accessible interfaces and can be used to improve the accessibility and interoperability of Web Content and Applications. This information can be mapped to accessibility frameworks that use this information to provide alternative access solutions. Similarly, this information can be used to change the rendering of content dynamically using different style sheet properties. The result is an interoperable method for associating behaviors with document-level markup. This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the ARIA Overview.

Describes how user agents should support keyboard navigation, respond to roles, states, and properties provided in Web content via WAI-ARIA, and expose this to accessibility APIs.

The Role Attribute defined in this specification allows the author to annotate markup languages with machine-extractable semantic information about the purpose of an element.

Defines how user agents map the Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module markup to platform accessibility application programming interfaces (APIs). It is intended for user agent developers responsible for accessibility in their user agent so that they can support the accessibility content produced for digital publishing.

Accessibility of web content requires semantic information about widgets, structures and behaviors in order to allow assistive technologies to convey appropriate information to persons with disabilities. This specification defines a module encompassing an ontology of roles, states and properties specific to the digital publishing industry. These semantics are designed to allow an author to convey user interface behaviors and structural information to assistive technologies and to enable semantic navigation, styling and interactive features used by readers.

Recommends approaches for developers of rich internet applications to make widgets, navigation, and behaviors accessible using WAI-ARIA roles, states, and properties. WAI-ARIA 1.1 adds features new since WAI-ARIA 1.0 to complete the HTML + ARIA accessibility model. It is expected this will complement HTML 5.1.

Recommends approaches for developers of rich internet applications to make widgets, navigation, and behaviors accessible using WAI-ARIA 1.1 roles, states, and properties.

Defines how user agents map HTML 5.1 elements and attributes to platform accessibility APIs. This promotes interoperable exposure of roles, states, properties, and events and helps to ensure that this information appears in a manner consistent with author intent.

Defines standard semantics to enable user driven personalization such as the association of a user-preferred symbols to elements having those semantics.

Defines how user agents map HTML 5.1 elements and attributes to platform accessibility APIs. This promotes interoperable exposure of roles, states, properties, and events and helps to ensure that this information appears in a manner consistent with author intent.

This document is a practical guide for developers on how to add accessibility information to HTML elements using ARIA, a markup mechanism for making Web content and Web applications more accessible to people with disabilities.

This specification defines the web developer rules (author conformance requirements) for the use of WAI ARIA attributes on HTML elements. It also defines requirements for Conformance Checking tools.

Describes how user agents map SVG markup to platform accessibility APIs. When user agents support this specification, SVG authors can create accessible rich internet applications, including charts, graphs, and other drawings.

Defines a WAI-ARIA module of core roles, states and properties specific to web graphics. These semantics allow an author to express the logical structure of the graphic to assistive technologies, allowing assistive technologies to provide semantic navigation and adapt styling and interactive features.

Defines how user agents map the WAI-ARIA Graphics Module markup to platform accessibility APIs.

This specification defines the web developer rules (author conformance requirements) for the use of WAI ARIA attributes on HTML elements. It also defines requirements for Conformance Checking tools.

Describes how user agents should expose semantics of web content languages to various accessibility APIs in an interoperable manner. This helps users with disabilities to obtain and interact with information using assistive technologies. This specification defines core functionality; other specifications depend on and extend this for specific technologies.

Describes how user agents determine names and descriptions of accessible objects from web content languages and expose them in accessibility APIs.

The Roadmap for Accessible Rich Internet Applications addresses the accessibility of dynamic Web content for people with disabilities. The roadmap introduces the technologies to map controls, Ajax live regions, and events to accessibility APIs, including custom controls used for Rich Internet Applications. The roadmap also describes new navigation techniques to mark common Web structures as menus, primary content, secondary content, banner information and other types of Web structures. These new technologies can be used to improve the accessibility and usability of Web resources by people with disabilities, without extensive modification to existing libraries of Web resources. This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the WAI-ARIA Overview.

This document specifies Best Practices for delivering accessible rich internet applications using WAI-ARIA [ARIA]. The principle objective is to produce a usable, accessible experience over the Web. It provides recommended approaches to create accessible Web content using WAI-ARIA roles, states, and properties to make widgets, navigation, and behaviors accessible. The document also describes considerations that might not be evident to most implementers from the WAI-ARIA specification alone. This document is directed primarily to Web application developers, but the guidance is also useful to user agent and assistive technology developers. This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the WAI-ARIA Overview.

The WAI-ARIA Primer introduces developers to the use of WAI-ARIA [ARIA] for addressing the accessibility of dynamic Web content for people with disabilities. This primer explains the accessibility problems posed by hybrid technologies such as DHTML and Ajax. It introduces the technologies to map controls, Ajax live regions, and events to accessibility APIs, including custom controls used for Rich Internet Applications. The primer also describes new navigation techniques to mark common Web elements such as menus, primary content, secondary content, banner information and other types of Web structures. These new technologies can be used to improve the accessibility and usability of Web resources by people with disabilities, without extensive modification to existing libraries of Web resources. This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the WAI-ARIA Overview.
