EA background (Step 1 / 4)
In 2003: European Web accessibility is risking fragmentation
- the W3C/WAI
guidelines may be promoted differently in different countries,
- no harmonised methodology for their implementation,
- no harmonised methodology for assessing the quality of Web sites,
- several "labels" - which certify Web accessibility - are emerging over
Europe,
- governmental organisations express the need of a quality mark
concerning Web accessibility.
