RE: Proposal for Session on Well Known Destinations (WKD) in W3C Breakouts Day 2025

Hi Lionel, Abhinav, all,

 

I didn’t see a reply to my email, so I propose that I’ll file the issue, before our next Adapt call, and thus also before the deadline (the 12th).

 

Abhinav: I don’t think we wrote down what times you could/couldn’t present on Breakouts Day (the 26th) – please could you reply with the times that you are free? I will then request times that we can both make.

 

Thanks all,

 

Best regards,

 

 

Matthew

Thank you Abhinav, Lionel, all – I see you’ve made the edit that I was after (link relation types).

 

I still need to tweak the structure of the Explainer – though we could submit this even now, with a link to the explainer as-is.

 

Lionel: any preference as to whom should post this submission?

 

Best regards,

 

 

Matthew

Session Title: 
Simplifying Site Navigation: A Standardized Approach for Accessible Destinations 

Description: 
 

Website visitors often expect and seek familiar pages such as contact us, login, or shopping cart. But navigating websites can be a challenge, especially for users who find complex layouts and variable terminology difficult. Building on last year’s feedback, this session from WAI-Adapt Task Force introduces a fresh, semantic approach to navigation that leverages HTML link relation types to define such well known destinations on any page. We will also demo our updated browser extension which embodies this new strategy— simplifying navigation without compromising on design.  

 
We will also facilitate discussion on open challenges identified by the Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force (COGA) regarding the clear presentation of destination types. For example, a help resource may be categorized as a “Virtual Advisor,” “Email Helpline,” or “Call Support.” The goal is to ensure that users can simply understand the nature of each option and set accurate expectations before engagement. 
 
Goals: 

*                Highlight the Challenge: Illuminate the challenges of current site navigation and the potential for standardized solutions. 

*                Showcase Solution: Demonstrate via demo how a standardized approach can streamline site navigation for all users. 

*                Engage the Community: Gather ideas on categorizing destinations further to enhance clarity and accessibility. 

Agenda: 

1.                  Understanding Navigation Barriers: A brief look at navigation challenges and why consistency matters. 

2.                  Demo: Walkthrough of our updated browser extension employing the new semantic approach. 

3.                  WAI-Adapt’s Proposed Solution: Explanation of our approach based on standardizing navigation declarations using HTML link elements and how it builds on last year’s feedback.  

4.                  Interactive Discussion: Brainstorming on open concerns from COGA to present various type of destinations to users. 

5.                  Next Steps: Inviting feedback and outlining plans for horizontal and wide community review. 

 

Join us for an engaging discussion where your insights will help shape a more accessible web for everyone!  ======= Side note: the SAP footer in the previous email was a default template used by Abhinav and was not part of the proposal text.
