In today’s contemporary information society, this principle can be realized by enhancing the accessibility of information resources for various groups of the population. Information is an inalienable part of today’s life. This fact is clearly evident in the ongoing development and expansion of the World Wide Web (the Web)—a huge information platform that has provided vast opportunities for people by making it possible to effectively solve various tasks in business, education, science, and our everyday lives. With the help of the Web, a person can pay bills, buy products and services, complete university degrees online, search for and read articles, keep contact with their friends and so much more. However, these opportunities are not available for everybody. For example, people who are blind encounter a lot of problems surfing the Web. This is a direct result of the majority of web pages being orientated at sighted users and not taking into account users who are blind. Blind users perceive the world differently and therefore need effective mechanisms for navigation through the elements on a web page and the thorough understanding of their semantic role in order to obtain an overview of a page in a few moments and perform a search. Current approaches provide us with limited solutions in the pursuit of particular goals such as web page segmentation or text summarization. Moreover, most approaches consider non-visual web page representations, such as source code (X/HTML and XML) and tree representations (the tag tree and DOM tree) which do not reflect the semantics that is analyzed by sighted users and posed exclusively on the rendered web page. This fact explains the limitations of such methods. The goal of this thesis is to enhance the accessibility of web pages for blind users. In order to achieve this goal, we propose a complex solution covering the problems of automatic understanding of a web page’s functional elements on the rendered web pages and navigation. Firstly, we provide the means for web page analysis and understanding on the visual level which carries the main information presented not only by the textual content, but also by the layout, styles and other visual characteristics perceivable by sighted users. Secondly, the challenges in improving web mobility of blind users based on the recognized logical elements of a web page are considered in detail and solutions are proposed. Considering the complexity in the analysis of visual characteristics, close attention is payed to the modeling of a web page’s visual features defined in the Unified Ontological Model (UOM) as well as developing methods and techniques for querying the model and approaches for realizing methods for web page understanding and information extraction. The uniqueness of the Unified Ontological Model (UOM) is based on its integration of different aspects of a web page in one v consistent model, such as geometry of the layout with quantitative and qualitative characteristics, interface with different functional elements and structures, and the DOM tree. The proposed cross-platform framework, Web Page Processing System (WPPS), ensures an efficient generation of the UOM according to the provided configuration and conveys an application programming interface (API) for developing methods and algorithms of web page processing. The WPPS demonstrated its effectiveness in developing methods of web page segmentation, web object identification and information extraction. For enhancing web accessibility based on the identified web page elements, the Multi-Axial Navigation Model (MANM) and navigation methodology are proposed in this thesis. Blindzilla, a cross-platform system which demonstrated its effectiveness in an evaluation with blind users, implements these concepts. Kurzfassung Chancengleichheit bei selbständiger Entwicklung und Aktualisierung für alle ist ein wichti- ges Merkmal zivilisierter Gesellschaften. In der heutigen Informationsgesellschaft findet dieser Aspekt eine seiner Umsetzungen in der Verbesserung des Zugangs verschiedener Bevölkerungs- gruppen zu Informationsressourcen. Information ist ein unabdingbarer Teil des heutigen Lebens. Diese Tatsache verdeutlicht die laufende Entwicklung und Expansion des World Wide Web (des Internets) – einer riesigen Informationsplattform, die für Menschen große Chancen eröffnet hat, indem sie die effiziente Lösung von Aufgaben im Geschäftsleben, in der Bildung, der Wissen- schaft und in unserem täglichen Leben ermöglicht. Mit Hilfe des Internets kann man Rechnungen bezahlen, Produkte und Dienstleistungen kaufen, an einer Fernuniversität studieren, nach Artikeln suchen und sie lesen, Kontakt mit FreundInnen halten und vieles mehr. Diese Möglichkeiten stehen jedoch nicht allen offen. Zum Beispiel sind blinde Menschen beim Surfen im Internet mit vielen Problemen konfrontiert. Dies liegt an der Orientierung der überwiegenden Mehrheit von Webseiten an sehenden BenutzerInnen, ohne Berücksichtigung von blinden BenutzerInnen. Blinde BenutzerInnen

  • Document Object Model
    Document Object Model CITS3403: Agile Web Development Semester 1, 2021 Introduction • We’ve seen JavaScript core – provides a general scripting language – but why is it so useful for the web? • Client-side JavaScript adds collection of objects, methods and properties that allow scripts to interact with HTML documents dynamic documents client-side programming • This is done by bindings to the Document Object Model (DOM) – “The Document Object Model is a platform- and language-neutral interface that will allow programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure and style of documents.” – “The document can be further processed and the results of that processing can be incorporated back into the presented page.” • DOM specifications describe an abstract model of a document – API between HTML document and program – Interfaces describe methods and properties – Different languages will bind the interfaces to specific implementations – Data are represented as properties and operations as methods • https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom.asp The DOM Tree • DOM API describes a tree structure – reflects the hierarchy in the XTML document – example... <html xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title> A simple document </title> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <th>Breakfast</th> <td>0</td> <td>1</td> </tr> <tr> <th>Lunch</th> <td>1</td> <td>0</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Execution Environment • The DOM tree also includes nodes for the execution environment in a browser • Window object represents the window displaying a document – All properties are visible to all scripts – Global variables are properties of the Window object • Document object represents the HTML document displayed – Accessed through document property of Window – Property arrays for forms, links, images, anchors, … • The Browser Object Model is sometimes used to refer to bindings to the browser, not specific to the current page (document) being rendered.

  • CSS Containers: Making Websites Accessible to Disabled Users
    CSS containers: making websites accessible to disabled users John R Hudson 1 May 2020∗ 1 Personal background I first became interested in page design as a student journalist at university. When I first started using a micro-computer, I was interested in how much time it could save me; when I discovered vector graphics in the mid 1980s, I realised that I could save time and produce quality output by using a computer. In the 1990s I worked with a blind student and learned how I could use my computing skills to make life easier for him. After 30 years of using my understanding to create quality printed documents and more recently PDF files, in 2010 I was inspired by a talk from David Fisher to put these principles to work in maintaining and developing websites. 2 The wider context Cascading style sheets (CSS), proposed in 1994 by Håkon Wium Lie, who worked at CERN, were first adopted by Microsoft in Internet Explorer 3 and then by Netscape and Opera. These separate the presentation of material on a website from its content and structure as defined by HTML. At the turn of the century, they went out of favour for a number of reasons and development focused on XHTML. But, a few years later, Mozilla, Apple and Opera began working on a new specification for HTML which would meet the needs of modern devices and which would rely on CSS for presentation. This was published in 2011 as a rolling release and work began on a series of rolling updates to CSS to cope with the needs of the new version of HTML and the demands of modern devices.

  • Javascript and Embedded Objects
    Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen Complete Reference / JavaScript: TCR / Powell & Schneider / 225357-6 / Chapter 18 Blind Folio 557 18 JavaScript and Embedded Objects odern browsers support many technologies beyond (X)HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. A wide variety of extra functionality is available in the form of browser plug-ins, MActiveX controls, and Java applets. These technologies provide extended capabilities that can make Web pages appear more like applications than marked-up text. Embedded objects provide a natural complement to the limited capabilities of scripting languages like JavaScript. Embedded objects come in many forms, but the most popular are multimedia in nature. A good example is Macromedia Flash files, which allow designers to add advanced vector graphics and animation to Web sites. Various other types of embedded video, sound, and live audio are also quite popular. Embedded Java applets are often included in pages that require more advanced graphics, network, or processing functionality. Browsers provide the bridge that facilitates communication between JavaScript and embedded objects. The way this communication is carried out is essentially non-standardized, although browser vendors adhere to their own ad hoc “standards,” which are in widespread use. Even so, there are numerous concerns when dealing with embedded objects. First, including them makes the assumption that the user’s browser has the capability to handle such objects. Second, even if the user does have an appropriate extension installed, many users find embedded objects annoying because they increase download time while only occasionally improving the overall utility of the site. Third, users with older browsers and users on non-Windows platforms are often unable to use embedded objects because of lack of support.
