Projects

Here are some of the things I am working on (or have been working on) lately.

Eurlex.nu - a semantic web version of European legal information

eurlex.nu is an experiment to see if european legal information can be put online using semantic web techology. Currently eurlex.nu holds some 20,000 documents in two languages or more. Documents are presented as XHTML 1+RDFa and there is a SPARQL interface for queries. In the future it will be possible to make comments and track pingbacks onindividual acts.

Fangs - the screen reader emulator plugin for Firefox

Firefox extension that renders text representations of web pages identical (almost) to one of the most popular screen readers. See the Fangs homepage for more details.

Ruby Accessibility Analysis Kit

RAAKT is the PAAKT cousin written in Ruby. Recently it has been getting more love than PAAKT and hence has more features. RAAKT also integrates nicely in your Ruby on Rails testing framework. For more information see the Raakt wiki.

You can try the online version of RAAKT to do basic accessibility analysis of a web page of your choice.

SimpleCrawler

SimpleCrawler is a basic web crawling library for Ruby. Currently single threaded and intended for basic crawling of websites.

Wordpress themes

Some experiments with more standards-compliant Wordpress themes/templates.

Python Accessibility Analysis Kit

PAAKT is a Python module that helps you evaluate accessibility issues in web pages. It can be used to check en entire site or to collect statistics for a subset of web sites. This project hasn’t received a lot of love lately and RAAKT is currently a better choice.
