For Accessibility we have terms and definitions in 7 topics. The topics are E-Learning, Geography, Information Security, Medical Education, Technology, Transportation and Usability.

Accessibility (E-Learning)

A characteristic of technology that enables people with disabilities to use it. For example, accessible Websites can be navigated by people with visual, hearing, motor, or cognitive impairments. Accessible design also benefits people with older or slower software and hardware. See Section 508.

Accessibility (Geography)

A locational characteristic that permits a place to be reached by the efforts of those at other places.

Accessibility (Information Security)

The fast adoption of Information Technology has made access to information easier and cheaper especially through the Internet. As more and more information and services are delivered to the public through the Internet, we certainly do not want to exclude people with special needs from enjoying the services. Not only does an "accessible" web site improve service to people with disability, it also caters for readers with slow modems, and less sophisticated browsers.

Accessibility (Medical Education)

A measure of the ease with which a specific population can obtain appropriate health services and be served by facilities within the health care system. This concept is used to detect inequity in the availability of health services for different populations defined geographically, socially or in terms of their race, ethnicity, gender or clinical condition.

Accessibility (Technology)

The basis of accessibility is that every Web user should have access to the information and experiences available online. The nature of the Web and the tools used to create and access the information it offers means that some users, for instance, those with visual, auditory, or other physical impairment, have difficulty accessing Web content. The tenets and practice of the accessible Web aim to ensure these users' impairments do not prevent them from finding the Web a valuable resource, and that they have access to the same content that other visitors enjoy.

Accessibility (Transportation)

The ability to reach a location; a way or means of approach

Accessibility (Usability)

The issues surrounding the development and implementation of web sites and software such that those who are disabled will be able to use the interface without difficulty.
