Openness
Why?
The open web is important because it can start a chain of ideas as anyone is able to see what is posted and build off of it. It creates a collaboration factor that allows people to view anything and become inspired from it, creating their own ideas based off of it.
How?
Openness can be achieved through public posts such as Wikipedia articles, recipes from a blog post, or restaurant reviews. Through these public posts, viewers are able to take the information into consideration when writing a paper, or making dinner, or choosing where to go out to lunch. For example, see if you would want to eat here with this Restaurant Review of Rey Azteca.
Accessibility
Why?
Accessibility is important to ensure that each individual is able to view the content. Making information accessible for all promotes an equality factor, that allows those with disabilities to have the same abilities as those without. Providing accessibility is not only just the right thing to do, but it is also mandatory according to the law in some countries.
How?
Ways to make content accessible can vary from headings and subheadings, to the use of subtitles on videos, descriptive link texts, colors for graphics and more. There is no way a person can make content 100% accessible, however there is always something that can be added in order to allow a higher accessibility level. While those with disabilities will benefit greatly from these tools, others will also find them useful as it is an extra way to gather information needed.
