Accessability synopsis containers for large data sets

摘要

The use of accessibility devices such as a screen reader is facilitated by synopsizing large data sets in a synopsis container data structure. A synopsis of the large data set is generated and included in the synopsis container. The large data set is also included in the synopsis container. The synopsis container may include additional attributes, such as a flag indicating whether or not to output the large data set. In one embodiment the synopsis container is an HTML data structure defined by HTML tags using a CONTAINER keyword. The data structure includes the large data set, formatted as an HTML TABLE or the like. A conventional browser display may output the large data set, and an accessibility system such as a screen reader may output only the synopsis of the large data set.
