The  Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group  invites implementations of the following Candidate Recommendation Snapshots: Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.1 : 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. Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings 1.1  defines how  user agents  map the Digital Publishing  WAI-ARIA  Module [ dpub-aria-1.1 ] markup to platform  accessibility  APIs . It is intended for user agent developers responsible for accessibility in their user agent so th...

  he   Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group   has published a First Public Working Draft of   Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings 1.1 . The Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings (DPub-AAM) defines how   user agents   map the Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module [ dpub-aria-1.1 ] markup to platform   accessibility  APIs . It is intended for user agent developers responsible for accessibility in their user agent so that they can support the accessibility content produced for digital publishing. The implementation of this specification in user agents enables authors to produce more accessible e-books, by conveying structural book constructs used by the digital publishing industry to assistive technologies. It does this by extending the  Core Accessibility API Mappings 1.1  and the  Accessible Name and Description: Computation and API Mappings 1.1  specifications for user agents. It provides Accessibi...

The  Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group  has published First Public Working Drafts of  Accessible Rich Internet Applications 1.2  (WAI-ARIA),  Core Accessibility API Mappings 1.2  (Core-AAM), and  WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices 1.2  (ARIA APG). WAI-ARIA 1.2 continues development of the technology after ARIA 1.1 was completed in December 2017. This version focuses primarily on providing roles to match features of HTML, which is needed by technologies such as  Web Components  and  Accessible Object Model . Core-AAM 1.2 provides accessibility API mappings for these new roles, and ARIA Practices 1.2 describes recommended authoring patterns for these new roles. For more information, see the blog post  Accessible Rich Internet Applications 1.2 .

26 June 2018 The  Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group  has published two Proposed Recommendations: WAI-ARIA Graphics Module (Graphics-ARIA) : Assistive technologies need semantic information about the structures and expected behaviors of a document in order to convey appropriate information to persons with disabilities. This specification defines a WAI-ARIA 1.1 [WAI-ARIA-1.1] module of core roles specific to web graphics. These semantics allow an author to express the logical structure of the graphic to assistive technologies in order improve accessibility of graphics. Assistive technologies could then enable semantic navigation and adapt styling and interactive features, to provide an optimal experience for the audience. These features complement the graphics and document structure elements defined by HTML [HTML52] and SVG [SVG2]. Graphics Accessibility API Mappings (Graphics-AAM) : This specification defines how user agents map the WAI-ARIA Graphics...
