See Understanding Techniques for WCAG Success Criteria for important information about the usage of these informative techniques and how they relate to the normative WCAG 2.0 success criteria. The Applicability section explains the scope of the technique, and the presence of techniques for a specific technology does not imply that the technology can be used in all situations to create content that meets WCAG 2.0.
All technologies.
This technique relates to:
The objective of this technique is to enable users to identify the relationship between the current Web page and other Web pages in the same collection (e.g., on the same Web site). In some cases this can be done programmatically—for example by using the
rel
attribute of the
link
element in HTML. In other cases the information is provided by including the relevant information in the title of the Web page.
A large Web site includes tutorials and reference materials for numerous technologies. The title of each Web page includes the name of the sub-site as well as the organization that produces the site.
A Web page includes metadata that identifies it as the table of contents for a collection of documents. The metadata for each document in the collection identifies the document's position in the collection and provides a reference to the table of contents.
An online textbook is divided into chapters. The title of each Web page includes the number and title of the chapter as well as the title of the textbook.
No resources available for this technique.
Check if the title of the Web page describes the Web page's relationship to the collection to which it belongs.
Check if the Web page includes metadata identifying the Web page's relationship to the collection to which it belongs.
Check #1 or check #2 is true.
If this is a sufficient technique for a success criterion, failing this test procedure does not necessarily mean that the success criterion has not been satisfied in some other way, only that this technique has not been successfully implemented and can not be used to claim conformance.
