W2 | Glossary | web unit | G/E | One can reasonably interpret what the Web Characterization Terminology
meant by "simultaneously" to mean "concurrently." The point is
that your concept is their concept, you are just straining at gnats
over the term 'simultaneously' as if it implies 'instantaneously.' You just don't know how much street cred you lose by using funny-money terms like "web unit" when what you mean is what the web designer means by a "web page." |
Use "web page." State that the concept is essentially the same as in the Web Characterization Terminology. Add something on the order of "Owing to the increasingly dynamic nature of web pages today, one would be more likely to say 'rendered concurrently' rather than 'rendered simultaneously' so people don't think that there has to be an instant rendering of a static page. The requirement is that fluctuations in the page view take place in a context which is stable enough so that the user's perception is that they are in the same place. |

content | G/T/E | the
concepts of 'content' and 'presentation' as used here are indadequate
to explain the needs of users with disabilities even with today's
technology. See "Content v. Presentation" below. |
Apply the suggestions under "two interfaces" comments, to wit: Articulate requirements a) against the rendered content as it contributes directly to the user experience b) against the content as communicated between the server and the user agent -- the formal model created by the format and exposed by the document object that results from the "clean parse (see IBM suggestions there). Enumerate information requirements that have to be satisfied by the formal model in terms of questions that the content object must be able to answer in response to a predictable query (programmatically determined requirement). Most of these are context-adapted versions of "Where am I? What is _there_? and What can I do?" |
