Abstract This document, "Understanding WCAG 2.0," is an essential guide to understanding and using Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 [WCAG20]. It is part of a series of documents that support WCAG 2.0. Please note that the contents of this document are informative (they provide guidance), and not normative (they do not set requirements for Understanding WCAG 2.0 Page 1 conforming to WCAG 2.0). See Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Overview for an introduction to WCAG, supporting technical documents, and educational material. WCAG 2.0 establishes a set of Success Criteria to define conformance to the WCAG 2.0 Guidelines. A Success Criterion is a testable statement that will be either true or false when applied to specific Web content. "Understanding WCAG 2.0" provides detailed information about each Success Criterion, including its intent, the key terms that are used in the Success Criterion, and how the Success Criteria in WCAG 2.0 help people with different types of disabilities. This document also provides examples of Web content that meet the success criterion using various Web technologies (for instance, HTML, CSS, XML), and common examples of Web content that does not meet the success criterion. This document indicates specific techniques to meet each Success Criterion. Details for how to implement each technique are available in Techniques for WCAG 2.0, but "Understanding WCAG 2.0" provides the information about the relationship of each technique to the Success Criteria. Techniques are categorized by the level of support they provide for the Success Criteria. "Sufficient techniques" are sufficient to meet a particular Success Criterion (either by themselves or in combination with other techniques), while other techniques are advisory and therefore optional. None of the techniques are required to meet WCAG 2.0, although some may be the only known method if a particular technology is used. "Advisory techniques" are not sufficient to meet the Success Criteria on their own (because they are not testable or provide incomplete support) but it is encouraged that authors follow them when possible to provide enhanced accessibility. Another support category is "Common Failures", which describe authoring practices known to cause Web content not to conform to WCAG 2.0. Although failures provide advisory information about certain authoring practices, authors must avoid those practices in order to meet the WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria. This document is part of a series of documents published by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) to support WCAG 2.0. This document was published as a Working Group Note at the same time WCAG 2.0 was published as a W3C Recommendation. Unlike WCAG 2.0, is expected that the information in Understanding WCAG 2.0 will be updated from time to time. See Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Overview for an introduction to WCAG, supporting technical documents, and educational material. Status of this Document This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/. This is a Working Group Note "Understanding WCAG 2.0". The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group considers this document to be important for understanding the success criteria in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Recommendation. Please note that the contents of this document are informative (they provide guidance), and Understanding WCAG 2.0 Page 2 not normative (they do not set requirements for conforming to WCAG 2.0). The Working Group requests that any comments be made using the provided online comment form. If this is not possible, comments can also be sent to [email protected]. The archives for the public comments list are publicly available. Comments received on this document may be addressed in future versions of this document, or in another manner. The Working Group does not plan to make formal responses to comments. Archives of the WCAG WG mailing list discussions are publicly available, and future work undertaken by the Working Group may address comments received on this document. This document has been produced as part of the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). The goals of the WCAG Working Group are discussed in the WCAG Working Group charter. The WCAG Working Group is part of the WAI Technical Activity. Publication as a Working Group Note does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.

  • Balancing Actors' Gender and Skin-Color in Live Telecasts
    Toward Interactively Balancing the Screen Time of Actors Based on Observable Phenotypic Traits in Live Telecast MD NAIMUL HOQUE, Stony Brook University 154 NAZMUS SAQUIB, MIT Media Lab SYED MASUM BILLAH, Pennsylvania State University KLAUS MUELLER, Stony Brook University Several prominent studies have shown that the imbalanced on-screen exposure of observable phenotypic traits like gender and skin-tone in movies, TV shows, live telecasts, and other visual media can reinforce gender and racial stereotypes in society. Researchers and human rights organizations alike have long been calling to make media producers more aware of such stereotypes. While awareness among media producers is growing, balancing the presence of different phenotypes in a video requires substantial manual effort andcan typically only be done in the post-production phase. The task becomes even more challenging in the case of a live telecast where video producers must make instantaneous decisions with no post-production phase to refine or revert a decision. In this paper, we propose Screen-Balancer, an interactive tool that assists media producers in balancing the presence of different phenotypes in a live telecast. The design of Screen-Balancer is informed by a field study conducted in a professional live studio. Screen- Balancer analyzes the facial features of the actors to determine phenotypic traits using facial detection packages; it then facilitates real-time visual feedback for interactive moderation of gender and skin-tone distributions. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, we conducted a user study with 20 participants and asked them to compose live telecasts from a set of video streams simulating different camera angles, and featuring several male and female actors with different skin-tones.

  • Appendix a the Ten Commandments for Websites
    Appendix A The Ten Commandments for Websites Welcome to the appendixes! At this stage in your learning, you should have all the basic skills you require to build a high-quality website with insightful consideration given to aspects such as accessibility, search engine optimization, usability, and all the other concepts that web designers and developers think about on a daily basis. Hopefully with all the different elements covered in this book, you now have a solid understanding as to what goes into building a website (much more than code!). The main thing you should take from this book is that you don’t need to be an expert at everything but ensuring that you take the time to notice what’s out there and deciding what will best help your site are among the most important elements of the process. As you leave this book and go on to updating your website over time and perhaps learning new skills, always remember to be brave, take risks (through trial and error), and never feel that things are getting too hard. If you choose to learn skills that were only briefly mentioned in this book, like scripting, or to get involved in using content management systems and web software, go at a pace that you feel comfortable with. With that in mind, let’s go over the 10 most important messages I would personally recommend. After that, I’ll give you some useful resources like important websites for people learning to create for the Internet and handy software. Advice is something many professional designers and developers give out in spades after learning some harsh lessons from what their own bitter experiences.

  • Extending Expression Web with Add-Ons
    APPENDIX Extending Expression Web with Add-Ons Any good web editor must be extensible, because the Web is constantly changing. This capability is one of the strongest assets of Expression Web; it means that third parties can add new features that are easy to use inside of Expression Web. You don’t have to wait for Microsoft to release a new version to get more features. I am talking not about code snippets, like the one we created in Chapter 2, but about fea- tures that make it easy to add e-commerce capabilities using PayPal buttons or a shopping cart, improve your search engine ranking using Google Sitemaps, or add Flash banners and interactivity without becoming a programmer or a search engine specialist. Some of these add-ons are commercial applications that charge a fee, and others are created by someone who sees a need and creates a free add-on. At the time of this writing, there were over a dozen add-ons available for download and more actively under develop- ment. A current list is available at http://foundationsofexpressionweb.com/exercises/ appendix. Add-ons are usually easy to install and use. Once you have found an extension for Expression Web that offers you the ability to extend what you can do, download the add-on, and follow the extension maker’s instructions on how to install it. Most add-ons will have an installer that creates either a toolbar or an entry in one of the menus. Adding PayPal Buttons The first add-on I will show you creates a menu item.
