Web Accessibility Initiative – Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) is a technical specification published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that specifies how to increase the accessibility of web pages, in particular, dynamic content, and user interface components developed with Ajax, HTML, JavaScript, and related technologies.

In the 15 September 2008 working draft, SVG 1.2 Tiny added support for WAI-ARIA.[1] On 20 March 2014, WAI-ARIA 1.0 became a completed W3C Recommendation.[2] 14 December 2017 saw the release of WAI-ARIA 1.1.[3]
