Define relationship with WCAG

[TzviyaSiegman]

Several issues refer to WCAG requirements. What is the relationship of Web Publications to WCAG? In particular, is a Web Publication something more than a "set of web pages"?

next/previous links (technique G125)
a table of contents (technique G64)
an index of all the pages ("site map") (technique G63)

is a Web Publication something more than a "set of web pages"?

Note that the current definition of set of web pages in the current working draft of WCAG 2.1 (beware, link to a dated version) reads:

collection of Web pages that share a common purpose and that are created by the same author, group or organization

Examples include a publication which is split across multiple Web pages, where each page contains one chapter or other significant section of the work. The publication is logically a single contiguous unit, and contains navigation features that enable access to the full set of pages.

Most of SC in WCAG are based on single page and a few are for set of webpages. The SC related to set of webpages are closest to WP, this is why most of WCAG sections pointed by us are about set of webpages. For WCAG 2.1, we had proposed example of publication in definition of web page, so that it gets some recognition in WCAG 2.1.
But I do not think that set of webpages can completely define WP. It is the nearest equivalent in WCAG 2.0 and 2.1, I would say that it is a subset of accessibility requirements for WP. We have to define it in a better way in silver.
