웹이 대중화되면서, 사용자 계층도 어린이, 노인, 장애인 등으로 다양해졌다. 인지적, 신체적 특징에 상관없이 모든 사람에게 동등한 웹 기회를 제공하고 있는가를 나타내는 지표가 웹 접근성이다. 웹 사이트들이 특정 수준의 웹 접근성을 준수하도록 유도하기 위해 W3C(World Wide Web Consourtium)의 WAI(Web Accessiability Initiative)는 웹 콘텐츠 접근성 가이드라인 WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guideliens)를 개발하였다. 현재, WCAG2.0까지 발표된 가이드라인은, 4개의 원칙(Principle), 12개의 지침(Guideline), 그리고 61개의 성공기준(Success Criteria)으로 구성 되어 있다. 평가자들은 WCAG2.0에서 제시하는 성공 기준에 맞춰, 웹 사이트가 웹 접근성을 어느 수준으로 준수하고 있는지 평가한다. 하지만, WCAG2.0을 기준으로 웹 사이트를 평가할 경우, 성공기준의 준수여부는 평가가 가능하지만, 특정 사용자 집단의 특성을 반영한, 우선순위가 포함되지 않아, 특정 사용자 집단을 위한 개선 사항을 도출하는데 어려움이 있다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 이러한 점을 고려하여 WCAG2.0 기반의, 특정 사용 집단을 위한 웹 접근성 평가 모델을 제안한다. 사용자 특성에 따라 성공지침들의 중요도가 달라 질 수 있으므로, AHP 기법을 활용하여 성공지침들의 상대적 중요도를 평가하고, 우선순위화 하였다. 평가 모델의 효용성을 입증하기 위해, 특정 사용집단으로 노인 집단을 선정하여, 웹 접근성 평가 모델을 개발하였다.

Several software programs such as Bobby and A-Prompt developed based on the W3C's WCAG 1.0 guidelines have been employed to evaluate the accessibility of web sites. Although these programs make an evaluation of web accessibility easy and objective, many researchers pointed out that the results of web accessibility are lack of reliability. Therefore, this study is intended to suggest the modified algorithms for evaluating web accessibility focused on the 'images' and 'tables'. To verify them, we compared the accessibility of the Korean governmental web sites with new and current algorithms, respectively. The results show that the suggested algorithms are more accurate than the existent one.

The purpose of this study was to identify Web accessibility issues of healthcare websites of the Korean government and public agencies by evaluating these websites' accessibility in accordance with the Korean Web Contents Accessibility Guideline. This study conducted both automated and expert testing to assess the accessibility of a total of 27 health-related websites. The results of the assessment which was conducted in two stages indicated that institutions such as the National Hospital and National Rehabilitation Center demonstrated almost no Web accessibility error. In addition, the Korea Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Health Services Agency, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and the Korea Medical Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Agency attained very high web accessibility. However, the results of an expert evaluation highlighted that there were considerable errors in providing appropriate alternative text, which was not found in the automated test, and the color contrast of the text content did not comply with Web accessibility standard. Therefore, these websites did not support web accessibility for the sight-impaired. Furthermore, the present study found that it was difficult to deliver accurate information to users due to errors in the default language display and markup, and also, issues of skipping repeated content, content linearization, and compliance with keyboard use were considered as challenges that might arise for people with sight, cognitive and mobility impairments with respect to Web accessibility. It is the first study that evaluated accessibility of healthcare websites of the Korean government and public agencies based on the Korean Web Contents Accessibility Guideline. The present study made a contribution to research on Web accessibility by conducting expert testing, which provided a more complete assessment that identified the degree and specific issues of accessibility errors when compared to automated testing.

This study shows evaluation of how much OASIS meets "the korean web content accessibility guidelines" and analysis of some of the accessibility problems and their solutions in OASIS(Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System) which is the only web site that offers papers and project information related to Traditional Medicine in Korea. The evaluation criteria to determine if OASIS is accessible is classified into four sub items; Perceivable - if information and user interface components is presentable to users in ways they can perceive, Operable - if user interface components and navigation are operable, Understandable - if information and the operation of user interface are understandable, Robust - if content is robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies. Based on the measured results, OASIS has just been redesigned and implemented in more accessible and effective way. OASIS that improves web accessibility for the disabled is expected to help them study oriental medicine more easily and conveniently by providing equal access and equal opportunity to use the web.

As the Internet and mobile services increase, the use of wired/wireless web contents services increase and the demand for various contents explosively grows. To survive in competitive market, and to minimize the errors and warnings for web accessibility and standardization, and then to maximize the web usability, the periodical evaluation for web site should be performed with the events of web marketing and campaign. Through the web evaluation, the errors for technical programming language and contents offering can be found and diagnosed. In this paper, the quantitative and qualitative evaluation method for web site providing web contents are presented, and the analytic results for the 138 home pages in domestic are evaluated to validate the quantitative methodology. The accessibility, standardization, and usability factor are adopted for the evaluation in which accessibility is evaluated for perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust discipline with K-WAH(Korea-Web Accessibility Helper) tool, the standardization are measured for the number of errors and warnings in technical language with the W3C validator, and finally the usability factor is analyzed for the number of visits, average visit duration, and bounce rate with Google Analytics. In addition to, the quantitative analysis is also performed with the consideration of cost for construction and operation of web site. From the results, in the case of total score of 100 in conversion with relative weight, the average and standard deviation are evaluated to be 55 and 14, respectively. The correlation analysis indicates that the coefficient is estimated as 0.058, and then correlation between the quantitative results and cost is evaluated to be a little positive.

노인 인구의 급격한 증가와 인터넷을 통한 정보획득의 보편화로 인하여 웹 접근성의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 웹 접근성이란 "경제적, 지역적, 신체적, 사회적 한계로 인해 정보서비스를 받기 어려운 자들에 대한 정보 통신망의 자유로운 접근과 이용" 을 의미한다 정부기관이 선도하여 웹사이트를 통해 보다 편리하고 좋은 서비스를 국민에게 제공하려는 전세계적인 노력에도 불구하고 장애인이나 노인들에게는 아직도 웹사이트의 접근이 용이하지 못한 실정이다. 이는 웹 접근성의 문제를 발생시키는 근본 원인 중 하나인 웹 접근성(Web Accessibility)에 대한 개념 이해 및 현재 사용되는 웹사이트의 접근성 만족 유무를 정확하게 평가할 수 있는 평가 방법의 부재에 기인한다. 현재까지 웹 접근성 평가는 표준 평가항목인 W3C의 웹 접근성 지침(Web Contents Accessibility Guideline 1.0, 이하 WCAG 1.0)을 기반으로 만들어진 자동화 평가도구를 이용하여 대부분 이루어져 왔다. 자동차 평가도구를 이용한 웹 접근성 평가 방법은 평가가 용이하고 평가결과의 정량화로 인해 연구의 객관성을 높일 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 선행연구와 실험을 통해 자동화 평가도구의 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 예를 들어 전문가가 직접 스크린 리더를 통해 계산한 접근성 오류와 자동화 도구가 계산한 접근성 오류와는 많은 차이를 보이고 있다. 기존 연구에서는 자동화 평가도구의 문제점을 보완하기 위해 전문가가 직접 평가하는 매뉴얼 평가방식과의 병행을 제시하고 있으나, 근본적인 문제점을 해결하고 이를 개선할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 "한국형 웹 콘텐츠 접근성 지침(TTAS.0T-10.0003)"을 기본으로 하여 "EuroAccessibilty Consortium" 에서 고려하고 있는 "testable statement" 으로 통합 보안한 접근성 체크항목의 재구성과 함께 "자연어 처리" 알고리즘을 적용하여 자동화 평가도구의 개선 방안을 제시한다. 아직까지 제시된 개선방안의 적용 및 검증이 이루어지지 않아 한계점을 가지고 있으나 자동화 평가도구의 개선방안에 대한 제안은 향후 연구의 기초자료로 활용 가능할 것이며 많은 후속연구를 유발할 것으로 기대한다.
