Abstract

In this paper, we study improvement of web accessibility of Korean Internet shopping mall websites. First, we analyze the criteria of Korean web accessibility, and then evaluate the web accessibility level of major Internet shopping mall websites in Korea. Based on the evaluation of web accessibility level, we propose and implement an alternative text enhancement method using Excel VBA to increase the rate of alternative text for improving web accessibility. Using the proposed method, even non-specialists of web programming can check and modify the alternative text of the image included in web pages, which can help improve the web accessibility compliance rate.

본 논문에서는 국내 인터넷 쇼핑몰 웹사이트의 웹접근성 향상을 위한 연구를 수행한다. 먼저 국내 웹접근성의 기준을 분석하고, 이어 국내 주요 인터넷 쇼핑몰 웹사이트의 웹접근성 평가를 실행하여, 인터넷 쇼핑몰 웹 사이트가 가지고 있는 웹접근성 현안 문제를 도출하고 분석한다. 이러한 국내 인터넷 쇼핑몰 웹사이트의 웹접근성에 대한 평가를 근거로 하여 웹 접근성을 향상시키기 위한 대체텍스트 비율을 높이기 위한 방법으로 엑셀 VBA를 이용한 대체텍스트 향상 방법을 제안하고 구현한다. 제안된 방법을 사용할 경우 웹 프로그래밍 전문지식이 없더라도 웹페이지에 포함된 이미지의 대체 텍스트를 확인하고 수정할 수 있게 되어 웹접근성 준수율 향상에 도움이 될 수 있다.
