Today the Center is using HTML and standard search and presentation methods to present the resources we are collecting. The resources are being collected and stored in such a way that they will be usable with future presentation and retrieval methods. The Center is currently concentrating on gathering resources related to disabilities. This is being done on a worldwide basis. The Center expects to have the largest collection of disability resources anywhere in the world.

The Center in the Future

The goal of the Center is to use XML and related technologies to to store, retrieve and present all of the resources we collect. The Center will be developing methods that allow the user to choose the type of presentation that they prefer or need depending on their preferences and circumstances.

Many of the methods that the Center will use are not confined to people with disabilities, but are usable by many people in different circumstances. For example, surfing the web via sound is something many people may have a need to do. If you are driving a car and need information or you eyes are otherwise occupied you will find you have a need to listen to a web page, not view it. If you are using a device with a small screen auditory surfing may be the best choice for you. The methods developed and used here have many uses some of which have not even been imagined. Follow some of the links below to learn more about the basic technology that will be used by the Center.
