SVG for Graphics and Structure Using SVG as the Rendering Model for Structured and Graphically Complex Web Material Julius C. Mong and David F. Brailsford Electronic Publishing Research Group School of Computer Science & IT University of Nottingham Nottingham NG8 1BB, UK {jxm,dfb}@cs.nott.ac.uk ABSTRACT resulting bitmap graphics are resolution-dependent. The World This paper reports some experiments in using SVG (Scalable Wide Web Consortium (W3C), aware of the need for a flexible Vector Graphics), rather than the browser default of vector graphics format for the Web, set up a working group in (X)HTML/CSS, as a potential Web-based rendering technology, 1998, charged with drawing up draft proposals for Scalable in an attempt to create an approach that integrates the structural Vector Graphics (SVG) to be expressed in XML-compliant and display aspects of a Web document in a single XML- syntax. The advantages of vector graphics in terms of graphical compliant envelope. precision and scalability become very apparent in material such as maps, line-diagrams and block schematics. The involvement of Although the syntax of SVG is XML based, the semantics of the Adobe Systems Inc on the SVG working group did much to primitive graphic operations more closely resemble those of page ensure that although SVG was syntactically XML-compliant the description languages such as PostScript or PDF. The principal actual graphical semantics of its behaviour resembled, fairly usage of SVG, so far, is for inserting complex graphic material closely, those of its PostScript and PDF page description into Web pages that are predominantly controlled via (X)HTML languages. and CSS. SVG has predefined graphics elements, such as lines, rectangles The conversion of structured and unstructured PDF into SVG is and circles, which can be combined to create many simple discussed. It is found that unstructured PDF converts into pages of diagrams. For more sophisticated designs, operations are available SVG with few problems, but attempts to map the structural for specifying an individual object’s fill rule, colour space, components of a structured PDF — into an XML skeleton transformation matrix, etc. SVG is also capable of placing text underlying the corresponding SVG — are beset by difficulties. strings at arbitrary positions within the display of material on the These difficulties are not fundamentally syntactic; they arise screen. Indeed there is little to prevent it being used as a page largely because browsers are innately bound to (X)HTML/CSS as layout language, very much like PostScript itself. Furthermore, their default rendering model. Some suggestions are made for since SVG code is itself text based, it is possible for search ways in which SVG could be more totally integrated into browser engines to easily index and search within any SVG material, for functionality, with the possibility that future browsers might be example to extract city names from an SVG map of the world. able to use SVG as their default rendering paradigm. 2.

For enhanced Web page styling that goes beyond the XHTML defaults there is the option We have created an Acrobat plug-in to carry out four levels of to use the Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) facilities.

Course Description This course introduces modern best practices for developing a more humane web. Students will explore the ethical ramifications behind ariousv software decisions, including web performance, security, and user/developer experience. The course simulates a team-based working environment in which students will build individual portfolios exhibiting job-ready, front-end skills. In the process, students will learn to leverage modern JavaScript, CSS, Markdown, Git, intrinsic design principles, and static site generation. No prior coding experience necessary. 2. Course Rationale In keeping with Olivet’s mission, this course provides a vital space for the University to explore “web development with a Christian purpose” together. Other courses in the curriculum are designed specifically for advanced computer science students who have met several prerequisites. By lowering the barrier to entry, however, this course invites students from a variety of fields to learn with and from one another.

E-mail: [email protected] Website: https://multispectraconsultants.com Businesses are under continuous pressure to cut costs and increase productivity. In modern businesses, computer hardware and software and ancillaries are a major cost factor. It is worthwhile for every business to investigate how best it can leverage the power of open source software to reduce expenses and increase revenues. Businesses that restrict themselves to proprietary software like Microsoft Office get a raw deal. Not only do they have to pay for the software but they have to factor-in the cost incurred in every instance the software becomes corrupt. This includes the fee required to be paid to the computer technician to re-install the software. All this creates a vicious environment where cost and delays keep mounting. It should be a primary aim of every business to develop a system where maintenance becomes automated to the maximum possible extent. This is where open source software like LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, Scribus, GIMP, Inkscape, Firefox, Thunderbird, WordPress, VLC media player, etc. come in. My company, MultiSpectra Consultants, uses open source software to the maximum possible extent thereby streamlining business processes.

    Making Conformance Work: Constructing Accessibility Standards Compliance by Alison Benjamin A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Information Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Alison Benjamin ii Making Conformance Work: Constructing accessibility standards compliance Alison Benjamin Master of Information Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2001 Abstract Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) constitute core accessibility resources for Web designers and developers. To explore their deployment, I conduct interviews with 10 practitioners who use WCAG and WAI- ARIA in their work. Using techniques derived from grounded theory and situational analysis, I develop the concept of conformance work. Conformance work refers to how designers and developers develop harmonized interpretations of WAI-ARIA and WCAG, and the Websites these specifications are meant to instruct. Conformance work is the upstream work designers and developers engage in to invest categories such as “standards compliance” and “Web accessibility” with meaning. iii Acknowledgments I wish to thank a number of the people who have generously helped me along in my studies. I consider myself very lucky to have had Dr. Steven Hockema as my supervisor. He has guided and encouraged my research over the last two years. I thank Dr. David Phillips, my second reader, for his help and guidance as well, and for pushing me to pursue how WAI-ARIA and WCAG came to be. I kindly thank Dr. David Ribes for giving me time and feedback as my third reader. I also thank the late Dr. Susan “Leigh” Star for agreeing to sit on my committee.
