Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. Web content generally refers to the information in a Web page or Web application, including text, images, forms, and sounds. WCAG are part of a series of accessibility guidelines, including the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) and the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG). The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (WCAGWG) developed WCAG technical documents. The WCAGWC is part of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Version 2.0 of the WCAG was approved in December of 2008. This version is stable, and it is the recommended version to use for reference. Version 2.0 of the WCAG is developed:

  • To apply broadly to different technologies now and in the future.
  • To be easier to use and understand.
  • To be more precise when testing with automated testing tools and human evaluation.

For information about Version 2.0 of WCAG, visit the Web Accessibility Initiative Web site at:

Voluntary Product Accessibility Template

The accessibility status of each Oracle product is reported in a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). The VPAT was created by a partnership of the Information Technology Industry Council (ITIC) and the U.S. General Services Administration (USGSA) to create a simple document that U.S. government contracting and procurement officials can use to evaluate a product with respect to the provisions in Section 508.

Because products are on different release cycles, or because Oracle might have recently acquired products, not all Oracle products meet all of the guidelines. For more information about VPAT, visit Oracle's Accessibility Program Web site at:
