Acknowledgements

This site has been developed with special assistance from a number of sources. In combination, they have made it possible for work to be undertaken in an integrated and supportive environment. The Web Content Development work was supported financially by a number of Australian and international agencies. The Accessibility Principles site has been further developed during my stay at Tsukuba University in Japan as a very grateful Visiting Scientist.

There are sections of the Accessibility Principles site that were written in collaboration with members of the IMS Global Learning Consortium, the Dublin Core DC Accessibility Working Group (in practice often the same people), and members of the INCITS V2 Working Group and MMI-DC Accessibility and Multilingual Workshops. The author was a working member of all these working groups.
