Interoperability (semantic)
- Universal access means access to everyone, overcoming differences in culture,
language, education, ability, material resources, and physical limitations of users on all continents
- Consider "cultural barriers"
- A message is:
- Content: the true content of the message, the originator wants to communicate;
- Structure: the way the information is organized (e.g. title, author, body, signature)
- Presentation: the way the information is presented to the user (fonts, colours, page layout, etc.)
- Semantic interoperability is a must
- W3C technologies are moving in the right direction
