Workshop on Usability and the Web
http://www.nist.gov/uig_w3c

National Institute of Standards and Technology
Gaithersburg (near Washington D.C.), Maryland, USA

4-5 November 2002

In collaboration with the World Wide Web Consortium W3C, The National Institute
of Standards and Technology will host a workshop to develop a plan for
developing web usability efforts.

There are three aspects that the workshop will consider: 1) the usability of
W3C specifications 2) how they affect usability of software based on them, and
3) how to improve the overall usability of the web.

A number of speakers have been invited to discuss usability of documentation,
web usability, and products of various W3C working groups. Each attendee will
be asked to submit a 1-2 page position paper outlining one or more
activities/approaches that could be undertaken by the group.

The workshop organizers will review these prior to the workshop and request
presentations of representative ideas from selected attendees. This will
require some collaboration and coordination among attendees prior to the
workshop. The outcome of the workshop will be an outline of plans and
activities that a usability interest group, if approved by the W3C, would
undertake.
