ATAG - principles, guidelines, basics Flashcards
Principle: Authoring tool user interfaces follow applicable accessibility guidelines
A.1
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Ensure that web-based functionality is accessible.
Only SC under this guideline: If the authoring tool contains web-based user interfaces, then those web-based user interfaces meet the WCAG 2.0 success criteria.
A.1.1 / A.1.1.1 Web-Based Accessible (WCAG) - (Level A to meet WCAG 2.0 Level A success criteria; Level AA to meet WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA success criteria; Level AAA to meet all WCAG 2.0 success criteria)
Guideline : (For the authoring tool user interface) Ensure that non-web-based functionality is accessible
A.1.2
Principle: Editing-views are perceivable
A.2
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Make alternative content available to authors.
A.2.1
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Ensure that editing-view presentation can be programmatically determined.
A.2.2
Principle: Editing-views are operable
A.3
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Provide keyboard access to authoring features.
A.3.1
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Provide authors with enough time.
A.3.2
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Help authors avoid flashing that could cause seizures
Only SC: If an editing-view can play visual time-based content, then playing is not necessarily automatic upon loading the content and playing can be paused.
A.3.3
A.3.3.1 Static View Option: (Level A)
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Enhance navigation and editing via content structure.
A.3.4
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Provide text search of the content.
A.3.5
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Manage preference settings.
A.3.6
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Ensure that previews are at least as accessible as in-market user agents.
A.3.7
Principle: Editing-views are understandable
A.4
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Help authors avoid and correct mistakes
A.4.1
Guideline: (For the authoring tool user interface) Document the user interface, including all accessibility features.
A.4.2
The two main Parts of ATAG.
Part A: Make the authoring tool user interface accessible

Give some examples of the types of authoring tools ATAG applies to.
- WYSIWYG web page authoring tools (applications or web-based)
- CMS (Content Management Systems) that provide structured data for webpages
- software that converts to web content (such as word processors or other office apps that save to html or epub)
- multimedia authoring tools
- websites that allow users to provide content - UGC (User Generated Content)
