This paper proposes classifications of barriers in various dimensions we registered in the German study "Web2.0/Accessible" regarding the use of web2.0 applications by persons with disabilities [1, 2]. These classifications define dimensions and aspects of barriers, which can be used for the development and evaluation of web applications concerning accessibility issues. Various categories of disabilities and their usage pattern concerning web applications are included in the study for the first time. Decision makers, web developers and editors are able to deduce which barriers emerge and how they can be overcome. A contribution to the conception, design and evaluation of accessible web applications is made with the help of these classifications. Due to the integration of the data into a proven process model, an integrative accessibility engineering approach is enabled and presented here.
