Abstract

Most graphics used in web pages are very attractive for the eye and useful for a lot of people. However, with the extensive use of pixel graphics such as charts without additional textual description or image maps, handicapped users of web pages are encountering an ever increasing amount of barriers. Therefore, it is essential that future development on web content focuses on accommodating all kinds of disabilities. The use of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) provides new possibilities as well as new challenges for the accessibility of web sites. Consequently, the Access2Graphics implementation is embedded in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network with reusable SVG patterns for enhanced barrier-free web applications. The aim of the new architecture is to support graphic designers and web developers in making graphics accessible for as many user groups as possible.
