WCAG2ICT Project: Update sections - Comments on Definitions in WCAG 2.0 Glossary in Appendix A & sub-sections

[maryjom]

• Remove reference to "Appendix A" - the section name changed in newer WCAG versions.
• Identify any changed terms & definitions from the 2013 WCAG2ICT Note. If there are, determine if we have a WCAG2ICT interpretation that needs updating.
• Identify any new terms & definitions in WCAG 2.2 and see if they use "Web" or web technology language in them (WCAG has new subdirectories with the new terms per version - WCAG 2.1 terms and WCAG 2.2 terms where each file is a new term
• Write up potential modifications/interpretations needed for new terms and add to the individual issues for the SCs that introduce them.
• Find out if there's some way to resolve issues with definitions that we don't have comment on, but exist in the WCAG SC. The links in the WCAG2ICT editor's draft don't seem to work for these terms.
• Updates to Key Terms sections

[maryjom]

Need to determine if any of the new terms are used only in AAA requirements and list them in the section Glossary Items Used only in AAA Success Criteria.
The list of changed terms since WCAG2ICT was published:

• accessibility supported - One of the notes in original definition changed. If this is added via include from WCAG, then nothing needs to be done.
• checked through changes of context so far

The list of new terms in WCAG 2.1:

• css pixel (may need to describe what is the equivalent to a CSS pixel in non-web context) Used on 1.4.10 Reflow, 2.4.11 Focus Appearance, 2.5.8 Target Size.
• down-event (are there other names this event is called other than "touchstart" or "mousedown"?) 2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation
• keyboard shortcut (add note that long keypress is not considered a keyboard shortcut) 2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts
• set of web pages (Make sure this definition jives with the WCAG2ICT definition) 2.4.5 Multiple Ways, 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation, 3.2.4 Consistent Identification, 3.2.6 Consistent Help *STATUS - in progress
• single pointer (no WCAG2ICT interpretation needed) 2.5.1 Pointer Gestures, 2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation, 2.5.7 Dragging Movements
• state (no WCAG2ICT interpretation needed) 1.4.11 Non-text contrast
• status message (no WCAG2ICT interpretation needed) 4.1.3 Status Messages
• style property (need to incorporate platforms into definition) 1.4.12 Text Spacing - STATUS - in progress
• up-event (Are there other names this event is called other than "touchend" or "mouseup"?) 2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation

NOTE: Definitions that are ONLY used in Level AAA Success Criteria Don't do any interpretation on these for now. Simply list them in the existing section.

• motion animation (no WCAG2ICT interpretation needed) 2.3.3 Animation from Interactions
• region (may need to provide an interpretation of what this may equate to in a non-web sense) 1.3.6 Identify Purpose
• user inactivity (Uses "web site".) 2.2.6 Timeouts (Level AAA)

[maryjom]

Attached is a Word document with the interpretation for most of the new WCAG 2.1 definitions. Will still have to scan for changed definitions and work on "style property" interpretation which uses several web-based terms: user agent, web, style sheets.

wcag 2.2 definitions-WCAG2ICT.docx

[maryjom]

Proposed the update for adding unique terms only used in Level AAA SC to that list in the definitions section. The rest of the terms will get introduced into the document at the same time as the SC they are used in.

[maryjom]

Added the new definitions for WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 that we will need to add into the corresponding new SCs that use them so we can make see if any interpretation of the terms is needed as we analyze the SC that uses them. I added a work item to the issues for the respective SCs to track along with that work. The last work item for this issue is to look at the existing WCAG 2.0 terms to see if there's any changes since 2013 that need to be reflected in WCAG2ICT.

[maryjom]

Moved the WCAG 2.2 definition list to issue #194, so this issue is tied only to WCAG 2.1

[maryjom]

New WCAG 2.1 definitions have all been added, approved by the TF and AG WG alongside reviews of the related SCs and are published in the FPWD.
