Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of accessibility in geographical web maps. A person with disability cannot use, nowadays, a web map with the same functionality as other users do. This problem creates a huge gap in universal usability, since a wide range of people are left out. This contravenes clearly the principles of the Web, which was created to benefit everyone in any circumstances. In addition, this kind of map would be very useful for people with disabilities, but they cannot take advantage of them due to accessibility problems. In this paper, some of the latest technologies (e.g. PostGIS or SVG) are used in order to provide a geographical web map with accessible features. Since no standard way of doing so exists, our objective is to research, design and implement a system which consists on the essential components to provide accessibility. What we propose is one of the many possible solutions, with some advantages and limitations, for the problem of accessibility on geographical web maps. This proposed solution leads to a discussion about the obtained result and some comments on the current state of the technologies involved in web accessibility.

使用SVG为视障人士开发网络地图
本文主要研究地理网络地图的可访问性问题。如今,残疾人不能像其他用户一样使用具有相同功能的网络地图。这个问题在普遍可用性方面造成了巨大的差距,因为很多人都被遗漏了。这显然违背了万维网的原则,万维网是为了在任何情况下造福每个人而创建的。此外,这种地图对残疾人来说非常有用,但由于无障碍问题,他们无法利用它们。在本文中,为了提供具有可访问特性的地理网络地图,使用了一些最新的技术(例如PostGIS或SVG)。由于没有这样做的标准方法,我们的目标是研究,设计和实现一个系统,该系统由基本组件组成,以提供可访问性。对于地理网络地图的可访问性问题,我们提出的是许多可能的解决方案之一,具有一些优势和局限性。这个建议的解决方案引发了对所获得的结果的讨论,并对涉及web可访问性的技术的当前状态进行了一些评论。
