Abstract:
This paper presents a work in progress aimed to develop a universal architecture based on Web services and semantic Web technologies, for evaluating Web accessibility by using a federation of multiple evaluation tools, and compounding a unique result report combining semantically the reports obtained by each tool. The definition of a standard interface for evaluation services is proposed, and its implementation using RESTful Web API (Application Programming Interface) is described. Services for automatic semantic composition of reports are described using W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) standards as RDF(S) (Resource Description Framework Schema), OWL (Web Ontology Language), SPARQL (Sparql Protocol and RDF Query Language) and EARL (Evaluation and Report Language).
