Ten reasons to use WCAG 2.0 (Spanish)

Examples of conformance claims

Olga Revilla — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:10:31 +0000

The conformance claim has several components, divided into 3 parts:

What pages conforms
What used technologies are “accessibility supported”
Optional components

WCAG 2 has thought on expressing conformance claims using metadata. We will see in other post how to do it. Meanwhile, use the natural text to do it.

What pages conforms (Required)

The whole site conforms: The ideal

On 14 October 2009, all Web pages at http://www.mydomain.com conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 at http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/. Level A conformance.

Some parts of the site conforms: using regular expressions

On 14 October 2009, all Web pages at http://www.mydomain.com/(products|contact)/.* conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 at http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/. Level A conformance.

Some parts of the site conforms: using boolean logic

On 14 October 2009, the following web pages conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 at http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/. Level A conformance.

( http://www.mydomain.com/
AND http://subdomain1.mydomain.com/ )
AND NOT ( http://subdomain2.mydomain.com/
OR http://subdomain3.mydomain.com/ )

Only one page

On 14 October 2009, the web`page “Contact” at http://www.mydomain.com/contact.html conforms to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 at http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/. Level A conformance.

What used technologies are “accessibility supported”.(Required)

Tomorrow I will introduce what “Accessibility Support” means for WCAG 2. Meanwhile, get the short ideas: a technology is accessibility supported if that technology will work with user agents and assistive technologies and
a technology is relied upon if the content would not conform if that technology is turned off or is not supported.

Listed on a page: The documented set of accessibility-supported content technologies relied upon for this claim is listed at http://www.mydomain.com/accessibility/technologies.html
Listed on the claim: The technologies that this content “relies upon” is: XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS 2.0 and JavaScript 1.2.
Subset of a list on a page: The documented set of accessibility-supported content technologies relied upon for this claim includes XHTML 1.0 and SMIL from “January 2009 list” at http://www.mydomain.com/accessibility/technologies.html#january2009.

Optional components

Going beyond the level

The following additional Success Criteria have also been met: 1.1.2, 1.2.5, and 1.4.3.

Technologies used (both relied and not relied)

The technologies that this content “relies upon” is: XHTML 1.0 (Strict), and Real Video.
The technologies that this content “uses but does not rely upon” are: JavaScript 1.2, CSS2.
