Hi Emmanuelle,

Conformance claims to the W3C Mobile Web Initiative Best Practices [1] will
come in the form of a Content Label. This will be called mobileOK [2].
Segala is co-editor of mobileOK with Google and ICRA.

The new top level domain triple-X [3] (soon to be given the green light)
will mandate the use of a Content Label to all registered sites.

There are a number of organisations [4] that provide Content Labels already.
Most notably is ICRA, with whom Segala is an affiliate. 

We have started to create the vocabulary for other use cases, Creative
Commons [5] is one of them.

ContentLabel.org [6] is an independent, non-commercial site which will
encourage more uses cases for Content Labels and then promote them to the
wider industry. Lastly, we are building an application which will be easy to
adopt by other organisations should they wish to provide a Content Label in
the future.

Hope that helps.

Hi Paul,

In the Sidar Foundation we are developing two connected projects to each
other. One of them is the social network of accessibility review, that has a
system of "trust". The other is a semantic searcher that provides the
results indicating the degree in that the resources are near to the needs
and preferences of the user. This last one is supported partly in the first,
but not only in it. For that reason it interests to me to know the reach all
"labels" existing. 

So, evidently we are working in similar projects. And I hope that we will
can collaborate. 

Regards,
Emmanuelle

It *is* definitely a great idea.
Now if it can be put together with matching profile instances (at the
client), as discussed in other posts on this thread, it will really rock.

[PW] We'll build a preference page within the extension which matches
whatever this group comes up with. So, users can filter out search results
that don't contain sites which are accessible to them personally. Anything
we do in this respect will be run by this group - either on the list or from
the site. Whichever the group prefers. Individuals are very welcome to
contribute off list. I just need to put a roadmap together for the extension
- will do it tonight :)

I agree the point that *some* of this processing is best done behind the
search server, but as a way to get from where we are to a place where the
notion is implemented by google and others I think its great Paul.

[PW] Well, the guys we've got working on it are *the* experts in browser
technology. How it reads labels needs to be tweaked quite a bit and we'll
take on board all the advice we get!

Once we've implemented some core functionality we'll be open to ideas
regarding additional stuff to make it more appealing to a wider audience,
such as developers and testers. BTW, the little icon that's displayed beside
each search result can also be added to every outbound hyperlink on every
page on every Web site. We've decided against it for various reasons but it
should demonstrate the stuff that can be achieved.

Thanks for the positive feedback, it's nice to know that some of the things
we've been working on are on track :)

Paul
