こんにちは TAG-さん!

I'm requesting a TAG review of Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.1 and Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings 1.1.

WAI-ARIA is a technical specification that defines a common host language semantic accessibility API and framework that enables web browsers to map the accessibility semantics in web content to platform-specific accessibility APIs. This enables web content to be interoperable with platform assistive technologies similar to native platform applications without platform dependencies. DPUB-ARIA is a modular extension of WAI-ARIA designed for the digital publishing industry, with mappings to the platform accessibility APIs defined in DPUB-AAM.

• Explainer¹ (minimally containing user needs and example code): https://www.w3.org/TR/2023/WD-dpub-aria-1.1-20230222/#introduction (see also the ARIA roadmap for an overview of WAI-ARIA)
• Specification URL:
  • https://www.w3.org/TR/2023/WD-dpub-aria-1.1-20230222/
  • https://www.w3.org/TR/2023/WD-dpub-aam-1.1-20230223/
• Tests: Testing of roles will be done during CR
• User research: N/A
• Security and Privacy self-review²: Security and privacy considerations are adapted from ARIA as the DPUB module only extends the list of roles, it does not add new features. See https://www.w3.org/TR/2023/WD-dpub-aria-1.1-20230222/#privacy-and-security-considerations
• GitHub repo (if you prefer feedback filed there):
  • https://github.com/w3c/dpub-aria
  • https://github.com/w3c/dpub-aam
• Primary contacts (and their relationship to the specification):
  • Matt Garrish, @mattgarrish, DAISY Consortium, Editor
  • Tzviya Siegman, @TzviyaSiegman, Wiley, Editor
  • James Nurthen, @jnurthen, Adobe, Chair ARIA WG
  • Valerie Young, @spectranaut, Bocoup, Chair ARIA WG
• Organization(s)/project(s) driving the specification: W3C / Publishing@W3C / ARIA
• Key pieces of existing multi-stakeholder review or discussion of this specification: N/A
• External status/issue trackers for this specification (publicly visible, e.g. Chrome Status):
  • https://github.com/w3c/dpub-aria/issues
  • https://github.com/w3c/dpub-aam/issues

Further details:

• I have reviewed the TAG's Web Platform Design Principles
• Relevant time constraints or deadlines: No hard deadlines to move to CR
• The group where the work on this specification is currently being done: Work is done by the DPUB-ARIA task force of the ARIA WG. Work on the specifications is largely carried out through github, not by meetings.
• The group where standardization of this work is intended to be done (if current group is a community group or other incubation venue): N/A
• Major unresolved issues with or opposition to this specification: None
• This work is being funded by: N/A

You should also know that...

DPUB-ARIA and DPUB-AAM are extensions of ARIA/Core-AAM. As such, they don't represent new technologies; they only introduce new roles for publishing using the existing ARIA framework.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please delete all but the desired option):
