Note Published: W3C Personalization Roadmap: Ubiquitous Web Integration
of AccessForAll 1.0
The Ubiquitous Web Applications Working Group has published the
Group Note of " W3C Personalization Roadmap: Ubiquitous Web
Integration of AccessForAll 1.0." This document describes an
activity of integrating personalization with device context for the
delivery of content materials and interface components that are
customized to meet both individual personal needs and preferences
and delivery context. It brings together the work of separate
standards and specifications organizations and working groups,
notably W3C Ubiquitous Web Applications working group, IMS Global
Learning Consortium Accessibility Special Interest group, ISO/IEC
JTC1 SC36 Information Technology for Learning, Education and
Training: Human Diversity and Access For All working group and
associated working groups in SC36. The document should be viewed as
a roadmap for the work to be undertaken and includes description of
the basis for the work, the organizational context, the likely
technologies and a partially complete description of how the
technologies fit together. Learn more about the Ubiquitous Web
Applications Activity.
