Abstract

Accessibility implementation efforts are generally focused towards some typical user impairments and a few interaction devices for a particular user scenario. Whereas there are numerous factors in the prevalent context which can leverage the overall accessibility to its full potential, only if those are orchestrated together. In absence of a common and unifying approach the industry has little choice in abstaining from legacy and is therefore not very successful in producing universally accessible software. Exploiting enabling technology of Semantic Web, we present an approach by developing Connecting Ontologies for these different factors. Exemplars are developed to show its correctness and practicability.
