Accessibility Statement
This is an accessibility statement from Metadataworks Limited for the MetadataWorks Browser and our website.
Measures to support accessibility
Metadataworks Limited takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our online tools and website:
- Assign clear accessibility goals and responsibilities.
- Employ formal accessibility quality assurance methods.
- Bi-annual reviews of accessibility using the latest tools.
Conformance status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Within these conformance levels are also the principles of "mandatory" and "best practices", with mandatory being the minimum required to achieve the standard.
What has been checked?
- Metadataworks corporate website (metadataworks.ai): Partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. Work is in hand to remedy this by end of year 2025.
- Browser UI - the public facing web portal of our metadata tooling. Fully conformant with WCAG 2.2 level AA mandatory requirements. Work is in hand to bring in non-mandatory best practices.
- Onboarder - the client-only facing web portal used to manage metadata. Fully conformant with WCAG 2.2 level AA mandatory requirements. Work is in hand to bring in non-mandatory best practices.
