Dear WAI Interest Group,
W3C WAI invites implementations of the Candidate Recommendations snapshots:
* Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.1 (DPUB-ARIA)
https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-aria/
* Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings 1.1 (DPUB-AAM)
https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-aam/
Overview: DPUB-ARIA defines a set of WAI-ARIA roles to help assistive technology users navigate through structural divisions in documents, for example, in ebooks. DPUB-AAM specifies how accessibility application programming interfaces (APIs) should map these roles.
Changes: Changes from DPUB 1.0 include the addition of doc-pageheader and doc-pagefooter roles. Additional changes are in:
DPUB-ARIA changelog <https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-aria/#changelog>
DPUB-AAM changelog <https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-aam/#changelog>
Candidate Recommendation: The main purpose of Candidate Recommendation is to ensure that the standard can be implemented. More about Candidate Recommendation and the process for completing standards is in:
How WAI Develops Accessibility Standards through the W3C Process
https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/w3c-process/
Implementations and Comments: To provide information about implementations or to comment, please open a new issue in the DPUB-ARIA GitHub repository:
https://github.com/w3c/@dpub-ariaissues/new
Create separate GitHub issues for each topic, rather than commenting on multiple topics in a single issue.
If it's not feasible for you to use GitHub, send comments in e-mail to: <public-dpub-aria-comments@w3.org> Please put your comments in the body of the message, not as an attachment; and start your e-mail subject line with: [DPUB ARIA 1.1 CR]
Please send implementations and any comments by 27 April 2024.
Regards,
James Nurthen and Valerie Young, ARIA Working Group Co-Chairs
