The I2Web Project will prototype these developments in three application domains: Web 2.0, Ubiquitous and Mobile Web and IPTV/iTV. Our work will be based on the latest accessibility and mobile Web standards. This will provide both industry and the public sector with tools and frameworks that support seamless accessibility integration in distributed development environments.

These aims will be achieved by:

• Developing user models based upon existing accessibility standards combined with an analysis of user requirements for people with special needs and older people in relation to ubiquitous Web 2.0 applications, in which multimodality and delivery context are key components.
• Extending existing device models from the Mobile Web arena, to cope with the needs of other devices, ranging from standard desktops to consumer electronics devices. The models will also include assistive technologies and mechanisms to modify themselves according to different user characteristics.
• Developing open information models and generic application abstractions, that can deal with information aggregation, cloud computing applications, Semantic Web and mobile/ubiquitous Web 2.0 systems.
• Implementing feedback mechanisms of compliance results to be integrated into existing development environments, which will provide to users, developers, managers and commissioners information on accessibility and usability issues of their applications. This information will be integrated into their standard development workflow and will be implemented via Service Oriented Architecture components.
• Testing, validating and demonstrating the developed frameworks and tools in different industrial development environments.
• Ensuring the impact of the developed frameworks, by feeding the project results into relevant standardisation bodies, from which several of the consortium partners are members. This membership will ensure a smooth incorporation of state-of-the-art developments in this area.
