Abstract
There are different kinds of certification. In the field of eAccessibility and eInclusion (eAcc&eIncl) web accessibility (WA) is aiming at the highest degree of semantic interoperability. This can largely be achieved by compliance to pertinent standards, such as the W3C’s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) guidelines – in particular WCAG 2.0. Technical and legal regulations concerning WA are getting more demanding by the day. Standards-based certification schemes can prove the technical compliance to WA standards or show that a WA expert is abreast with technical developments and regulations.
