RE: [Proposal] Addition of ARIA to the accessibilityFeatures list of values

FYI, I’ve published a new version of the vocabulary with this change now: https://www.w3.org/2021/a11y-discov-vocab/latest/

 

I’m going to get the DAISY knowledge base pages updated to reflect this change as soon as I can.

Did you mean February 1, Charles?

 

We’ve been mulling this for a long time, so a definite +1 from me.

 

FYI, there’s also an open issue for this if you want to respond there: https://github.com/w3c/a11y-discov-vocab/issues/4

Subject: [Proposal] Addition of ARIA to the accessibilityFeatures list of values

 

Hello everyone,

As we make improvement on the  <https://www.w3.org/2021/a11y-discov-vocab/latest/> "Schema.org Accessibility Properties for Discoverability Vocabulary" 

 

I would like to propose including "ARIA" to the accessibilityFeatures list of values.

Currently we have this under the accessibilityAPI with a definition of:

 

2.2.2 ARIA: Indicates the resource uses ARIA markup to improve interoperability with platform APIs.






I propose to move "ARIA" from accessibilityAPI to accessibilityFeature instead as I don't feel this makes sense as an accessibilityAPI.

 

Please respond by March 1, 2022 16:00 UTC if you have any concerns over this proposed change.

 

Thank You
