Abstract

Enabling users of assistive technologies to find their way through web content requires embedding semantic metadata about web document structural divisions. This is particularly important for structural divisions of long-form documents and goes along with embedding semantic metadata about web-application widgets and behaviors for assistive technologies. This specification defines a set of WAI-ARIA roles specific to helping users of assistive technologies navigate through such long-form documents. 

This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the WAI-ARIA Overview.

Status of the Document

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at https://www.w3.org/TR/. 

Feature development for this version is complete. This is a Candidate Recommendation published to obtain implementation feedback before finalization of the specification. 

While feedback on any aspect of the specification is encouraged, we would particularly like feedback on the addition of the doc-pageheader and doc-pagefooter roles. 

Comments are welcome at any time but most especially before 27 April 2024. 

There have been only minor clarifications since the First Public Working Draft. 

This document was published by the Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group as a Candidate Recommendation Snapshot using the Recommendation track.

Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply endorsement by W3C and its Members. A Candidate Recommendation Snapshot has received wide review, is intended to gather implementation experience, and has commitments from Working Group members to royalty-free licensing for implementations.

This Candidate Recommendation is not expected to advance to Proposed Recommendation any earlier than 27 April 2024.
