                        <p>Accessibility of Web content to people with disabilities requires semantic information about widgets, structures, and behaviors, in order to allow Assistive Technologies to make appropriate transformations. This specification
		provides an ontology of roles, states, and properties that set out an abstract model  for accessible interfaces and can be used to improve the accessibility
		and interoperability of Web Content and Applications. This information can be mapped to accessibility frameworks
		that use this information to provide alternative access solutions. Similarly,
		this information can be used to change the rendering of content
		dynamically using different style sheet properties. The result is an
		interoperable method for associating behaviors with document-level markup. This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the ARIA Overview.</p>
