W3C Web Standard Defines Accessibility for Next Generation Web


Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0
defines how to make Web content more accessible to people
with disabilities, and older people with changing abilities
due to ageing/aging

WCAG 2.0 has many benefits:
- International standards cooperatively developed,
- Critera is clearer and easier to test,
- Applicable to more advanced Web technologies,
- Support materials and practical guides for implementation are  
available.

WCAG 2.0 explains how to make content:
- Perceivable (for instance by addressing text alternatives for images,
captions for audio, adaptability of presentation, and color contrast);
- Operable (by addressing keyboard access, color contrast,
timing of input, seizure avoidance, and navigability);
- Understandable (by addressing readability, predictability,
and input assistance); and
- Robust (for instance by addressing compatibility
with assistive technologies).
