<p>
Enabling users of assistive technologies to find their way through web content requires embedding semantic metadata about web document structural divisions. This is particularly important for
structural divisions of long-form documents and goes along with embedding semantic metadata about web-application widgets and behaviors for assistive technologies. This specification defines a
set of WAI-ARIA roles that are specific to helping users of assistive technologies navigate through such long-form documents.
</p>
<p>This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite that is described in the <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/aria">WAI-ARIA Overview</a>.</p>
</section>

<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
<abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> 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 that are
similar to native platform applications without platform dependencies.
</p>
<p>
This specification is a modular extension of <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> that is designed for the digital publishing industry. This specification
includes the following goals:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Expand [[WAI-ARIA]] to produce structural semantic extensions to accommodate the digital publishing industry,</li>
<li>Align with a new governance model for modularization and extensions to <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr>, and</li>
<li>Provide structural semantics extensions that will both support assistive technologies and enable semantic navigation, styling and interactive features used by readers.</li>
</ul>
<p>The roles defined in this specification are derived from the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-ssv/">EPUB Structural Semantics Vocabulary</a>.</p>
<p>
For a more detailed explanation of <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr>, see the
<a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/aria">WAI-ARIA Overview</a> and how it applies to Rich Internet Application Accessibility.

<section id="target-audience">
<h3>Target Audience</h3>
<p>
This specification defines a module of <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> for digital publishing, including the values used to define [=roles=], [=states=],
and [=ARIA/properties=] of elements. It impacts several audiences:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
[=User agents=] that process content containing <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> and Digital Publishing
<abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> features
</li>
<li><a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#dfn-assistive-technology">Assistive technologies</a> that provide specialized reading experiences to users with disabilities</li>
<li>Authors of digital publications</li>
<li>Authoring tools that help authors create conforming digital publications</li>
<li>
Conformance checkers, that verify appropriate use of <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> and this Digital Publishing
<abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> module
</li>
</ul>
<p>Each conformance requirement indicates the audience to which it applies.</p>
<p>
Although this specification applies to the above audiences, it is not specifically targeted — nor is it intended to be the sole source of information for — any of these
audiences. In the future, additional documents will be created to assist authors to apply these <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> semantics for use in the
publishing industry, and to define how the information in this document is mapped to platform accessibility APIs.

<h3>User Agent Support</h3>
<p>
This module builds on the general <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#ua-support">User Agent support</a> principles defined in [[WAI-ARIA]] by also providing the ability for user
agents to enhance the general user interface presented to readers.
</p>
</section>
<section id="co-evolution">
<h3>Co-evolution of <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> and Host Languages</h3>
<p>
The Digital Publishing <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> module follows the model for
<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#co-evolution">co-evolution of <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> and host languages</a> that are defined in
[[WAI-ARIA]]. It is intended to augment semantics in supporting languages like [[HTML]], [[SVG2]] and [[EPUB]], or to be used as an accessibility enhancement technology in other markup-based
languages that do not explicitly include support for ARIA. It clarifies semantics to assistive technologies when authors create new types of objects via style and script that are not yet
directly supported by the language of the page, because the invention of new types of objects is faster than standardized support for them appears in web languages.
</p>
<p>
It is not appropriate to create objects with style and script when the host language provides a semantic element for those types of objects. While
<abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> can improve the accessibility of these objects, accessibility is best provided by allowing the user agent to handle the
object natively. For example, it is better to use a native heading element, such as an <code>h1</code>, than it is to use a <rref>heading</rref> role on a <code>div</code> element.
</p>
<p>
over time, it is expected that host languages will evolve to provide semantics for objects that currently can only be declared with this specification. This is natural and desirable, as one
goal of <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> is to help stimulate the emergence of more semantic and accessible markup. When native semantics for a given
feature become available, it is appropriate for authors to use the native feature and stop using this module for that feature. Legacy content can continue to use the Digital Publishing
<abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> module, however, so the need for user agents to support it remains.
</p>
<p>
While specific features of this module could lose importance over time, the general possibility of the Digital Publishing
<abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> module to add semantics to web pages or open web-based standards, such as EPUB, is expected to be a persistent need. Host
languages might not implement all the semantics this module provides, and various host languages might implement different subsets of the features. New types of objects are continually being
developed, and one goal of this specification is to provide a way to make such objects accessible, because authoring practices often advance faster than host language standards. In this way,
this module and host languages both evolve together but at different rates.
</p>
<p>
Some host languages exist to create semantics for features other than the user interface. For example, SVG expresses the semantics behind the production of graphical objects, not of the user
interface components that those objects might represent. Host languages such as these might, by design, not provide native semantics that map to this specification's features. In these
cases, the Digital Publishing <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> module could be adopted as a long-term approach to add semantic information to these host
languages.

<h3>Authoring Practices</h3>
<section id="authoring_tools">
<h4>Authoring Tools</h4>
<p>
Many of the requirements in the definitions of the <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> and Digital Publishing
<abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> [=roles=], [=states=] and [=ARIA/properties=] can be checked automatically during the development process, similar to
other quality control processes that are used for validating code. To assist authors who are creating digital publications, such as EPUB, such processes can compare the semantic structure
of Digital Publishing <abbr title="Accessible Rich Internet Applications">WAI-ARIA</abbr> roles from the <abbr title="Document Object Model">DOM</abbr> to that defined in this
specification and notify the author of errors or simply create templates that enforce that structure.
</p>
</section>
<section id="authoring_testing">
<h4>Testing Practices and Tools</h4>
<p>
The accessibility of interactive content cannot be confirmed by static checks alone. Developers of interactive content need to test for device-independent access to
<a data-lt="widget">widgets</a> and applications, and verify accessibility <abbr title="application programing interface">API</abbr> access to all content and changes during user
interaction.
</p>

<section id="at_support">
<h3>Assistive Technologies</h3>
<p>
Programmatic access to accessibility semantics is essential for assistive technologies. For more information, see the<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#at_support"
>Assistive Technologies</a
>
section in [[WAI-ARIA]].
</p>
</section>
</section>
<section class="normative" id="conformance">
<p>Normative sections provide requirements that authors, user agents and assistive technologies MUST follow for an implementation to conform to this specification.</p>
<p>
Non-normative (informative) sections provide information useful to understanding the specification. Such sections may contain examples of recommended practice, but it is not required to follow
such recommendations in order to conform to this specification.
