Abstract

[
This specification provides web content authors a standard approach to support web users who are persons with various cognitive and learning disabilities, including users who:
Customarily communicate using symbolic languages generally known as Augmentative and Alternative Communications (AAC);
Need more familiar icons (and other graphical symbols) in order to comprehend page content;
Benefit from additional help resources;
Require a simplified page in order to interact successfully.
The technology described in this specification is intended to be used to programmatically transform the appearance of typical web content including form controls, icons, and other user interface elements into a rendering more familiar and comprehensible to an individual user. Providing additional help is supported, as is automated page simplification. Use cases and relevant vocabulary terms are defined which allow user agents to augment or adapt content to better fit a particular user's particular needs. This helps users with varying needs to understand web content more readily, by simplifying the web interaction, and by avoiding forcing the user to grapple with unfamiliar representations they are ill equipped to comprehend.

This WAI-Adapt: Content Module is a component of the WAI-Adapt series introduced in the WAI-Adapt Explainer.

Requirements satisfied

[we have published a draft note for requirements of the document, sections 2.1 to 2.4 related to this publication. https://www.w3.org/TR/adapt-requirements/]

Dependencies met (or not)

[
https://www.w3.org/2021/08/apa-wg-charter#coordination
this is the dependencies met for the whole APA WG, with regard to WAI-Adapt TF, we had liaisons with i18n and Epub, and we still want to talk with WICG to seek a prefix of vocabulary after CR.

Wide Review

[
TAG: closed, https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/476
i18n: closed, https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1545
a11y: closed, https://github.com/w3c/a11y-request/issues/15
Privacy and security: closed the wide review issue at: https://github.com/w3c/adapt/issues/131. But the relevant one at PING is still open, https://github.com/w3cping/tracking-issues/issues/245, I have confirmed with PLH during a meeting, and he mentioned we can continue the CR process. The document had a Privacy and Security Consideration section at https://raw.githack.com/w3c/adapt/CR-content-2022-07-26/snapshot/CRD-adapt-content-20220726.html#privacy-and-security-considerations

Formal Objections

[no objection]

Implementation

[
WAI-Adapt is using "data-*" approach at the moment to gain implementation experience and demonstrate the usefulness of WAI-Adapt in practice. We hope to use this CR document publication to seek a new prefix to replace data- from W3C and WHATWG, then we will carry out the second CRD publication. See preliminary implementation information in Explainer.

There are some early implementations of content that can maximize the benefit for users, we have a plan to draft exit criteria.

minimum CR duration: 6 months

[swickr]

We need CR exit criteria before we will approve the transition.

The TAG review cited does not appear to have resolved the questions raised by the TAG.

Per 3.6.1 the BCI index is normatively referenced. That should appear in References.

[ruoxiran]

reopen issue #170 to resolve the TAG review.
