Abstract
This paper presents the elaboration of a model for a progressive implementation of WCAG, centered on the notions of access to information and essential users’ needs. MIPAW’s main goal is to serve as a framework for the elaboration of gradual implementation methodologies, of systems measuring the real level of accessibility, and the setting up of efficient quality assurance management systems. It is based on state of the art, real-world experience, and expertise in accessibility as well as quality assurance. The project aims at providing methodological tools better suited to the constraints of web industrialization, while preserving the deployment of real user-centric accessibility. MIPAW is a project lead as part of the activities of the AccessiWeb GTA (Workgroup on Accessibility), and has received active support from 16 of the most prominent French companies in the area of expertise in digital accessibility.
